Welcome to Act One Ice Cream Parlor
We Love Summer!
Thank you all for an amazing ice cream season! It’s been a wonderful summer, full of visits from hikers and travelers and all our local friends. We’ve enjoyed seeing hikers on the Pacific Northwest Trail all summer. The two in the video made their way to town early on August 29, 2023, before anything was open in town. In our guest book, they said they were from Czechia and were “lucky to meet the super nice owner” and thanked us for “the chat over an Americano.” Happy Trails, Hummingbird, and BackFlop!
WINTER HOURS:
Act One Ice Cream Parlor is open noon to 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays; noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. We stay open later when there’s a movie or event in the Concrete Theatre.
Let's Have a Party!
Ashley Parker and Halley Zachman have a lot of fun perfecting their barista skills. Ashley specializes in hot chocolate, Halley loves making a Caramel Macchiato. And of course they can both make an affogato to go along with your movie!
Stop by to enjoy premium ice cream from Wisconsin, fresh-baked waffle cones, sundaes, Italian sodas, and a wide assortment of your favorite espresso drinks.
A VARIETY OF FLAVORS!
We’re excited to have a variety of flavors — 20 of them in our display cabinets — for tastes of all kinds.
Honoring the Past – Looking to the Future
We are the newest, independently owned ice cream parlor in the region, and the only one we’ve ever heard of that’s located inside a historic theatre. The ice cream parlor itself is historic, having been built in 1915. In those early years, it was the home of the well-known Monrad Grocery.
