Ice cream always tastes better when you buy it from an ice cream shop rather than purchasing it pre-packaged in a store.

If you've been on the hunt for the best ice cream (frozen custard and gelato included) in your area, Food & Wine curated a list of where to find the best ice cream in each state.

So, where in Wisconsin can you find the best ice cream?

It's frozen custard in this case, but it can be found at Leon's Frozen Custard in Milwaukee.

Here is what the report had to say about Leon's Frozen Custard:

"The first thing to know about Leon's in Milwaukee is that it is not here to impress you, so don't even start. Don't come looking for charming or cute, or for a place to sit down, or for cheerful scoopers with positive attitudes -- for all that, give this 1940s relic, with its extremely abbreviated menu, wealth of neon signage, and almost exaggerated lack of niceties, a very wide berth. Suppose you are looking for some of the country's finest frozen custard -- well, get in line with everybody else who knows that for one of the richest, smoothest, most perfect examples of Wisconsin's favorite frozen dessert, you come straight here. Leon's doesn't need to be anything more than one of the most no-nonsense operations in all of dessert-dom, and if that's unclear on arrival, take one lick of their vanilla or chocolate or butter pecan, and you'll be hooked. Hang out in the grubby parking lot, like a bad seed, enjoy, then come back and do it all over again."
