After visiting Sydney's, I've officially decided I prefer frozen custard to plain old ice cream. The creamy texture can't be beat and there's something sinful about how the flavor washes over your taste buds. Mmmm...
And as if the product wasn't worth raving over in and of itself, the setting for Sydney's absolutely takes the cake. Orders are taken at a walk-up window so there is outdoor seating only, but you can choose between tables and benches out back that overlook the lake and rooftop seating that show a panoramic view of Lake Superior, Artists' Point, the marina and the wooded hills that lead into the BWCA.
After wandering up and down Artists' Point for awhile (an interesting feat for a pregnant woman, I might add), my husband and I stopped at Sydney's and split a double scoop of frozen custard. Then we found a comfy spot and watched the sky turn pink as the sun set over the hills. I couldn't recommend it enough; it was a perfect end to the day.
My husband also noticed that Sydney's had a Chicago dog on their menu. The next time we visit Grand Marais, I have a feeling we'll be returning to Sydney's so he can try it out--he's a sucker for Chicago dogs and quick to judge their authenticity.
Cash and checks only, so make sure you hit up the ATM before you visit. -

Sydney's has added an outdoor pizza oven to their location! That means that not only do they serve the creamiest, tastiest custard in Grand Marais, but now they can serve fire-baked pizzas!
I love the rooftop patio that overlooks Lake Superior. It is the perfect location for enjoying a scoop of ice cream. I thought their pizzas were tasty. We had the margherita pizza. It definitely has a lot of garlic! The flavor was a bit off for me and I prefer a little sauce. This pizza only had cheese, olive oil and slices of tomatoes. I think they still might have a few kinks to work out with their pizzas (it took about 25 minutes for ours to be ready).
But if you are looking for a great ice cream shop, this is your place! -

So very, very good and great service. On a busy day the staff made a special batch of custard to make certain there was no trace of peanuts for our son. The roof top deck is great even if it is breezy and cool because of the glass walls. A must visit!

I'm not sure I had ever had frozen custard before, little did I know what I was missing. We tried this place based on a recommendation from a friend. I'm not sure we would have seen it or ventured past it had we not been told about it. The frozen custard was out of the world good. Even better is enjoying it on the roof with an excellent view!
I wanted to run over to the people at the DQ and ask them what the F*@&$ they were thinking for not eating at Sydney's! -

Mmm this custard is amazing. Blackberries and raspberries on top make it even better. I strongly recommend getting the gyro here too. Makes for a really quality meal for not all that much money. It might be one of the cheaper meals you can get in GM.
