Gourmet ice cream parlor in historic downtown Chesterton, Indiana
About
Dog Days is Chesterton's local ice cream parlor and soda fountain. We serve gelato, sorbetto, super-premium ice cream, shakes, floats, coffee, tea, and seasonal drinks.
Dog Days opened in the autumn of 2011 in an effort to bring the highest quality hand-dipped frozen confections to our Chesterton community. What we don't make in house, we source from our Great Lakes neighbors from Madison, WI, to Chicago and SW Michigan. We are a local family owned and operated business and hope to provide a special place for your family to enjoy high quality frozen treats and make lasting memories!
