Wisconsin's Oldest Frozen Custard Stand!

A Welcome Note from Willy Linscott,

Owner of Gilles Frozen Custard

For more than 87 years, this little frozen custard stand has been part of the Milwaukee community. Our customers and employees 

are the heart of Gilles—and without them we wouldn’t be here today.

  

We’ve done our best to share what makes Gilles special throughout this website. If you have a question, or a memory you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you.

  

If this is your first visit, stop by and say hello—we look forward to serving you.
