Reviews for Marieke Gouda in Thorp, WI
Couldn't ask for a better roadtrip stop with kids (or not). We stocked up on cheese (Samples! I highly recommend the onion... garlic and curds), treats (detectable chocolates and Dutch foods), ice, WI beer, and souvenirs. All while the kids got a ton ofenergy out on the giant jumping pad, pedal karts, and video chatting family in front of the enormous cow. They also have a caféthat looked great. Oh, and the bathrooms were awesome! Will definitely make this a must stop whenever near. Read more

The food is amazing! Very friendly staff & great service! You can view all the cheeses that are aging from the restaurant. They... have a gift shop with different types of cheese, beers, ice cream, candy, lip balm, treats, syrup & more! They have a giganticcow statue outside that I love! ???? Marieke Gouda also has farm tours for groups. My daughter went for GS one year and it wasvery interesting! If your in the area Marieke Gouda is a great family friendly place to visit! Read more
Stopped for breakfast - excellent quality and quantity! Good pricing as well. The wait for food wasn't too long. The seating... is on wood tables with log chairs. The gas fireplace was going while I was there. It was nice to sit by. The cheese selectionis fantastic. Prices are decent as well. You can then go across the way to the milking barn and see the cows milked. Milkingstarts at 5am and lasts 5 hrs to get through all the cows. I would drive here to bring company for a neat experience. Read more
Watching milking in progress, visiting adorable blanketed calves, and experiencing great customer service! Also, cheese curds... processed yesterday that you can get battered in Spotted Cow beer hot and fresh from the deli! This was a great, unexpectedfind! Read more
Amazing to see the milking, touch the baby calf's, and seeing all the cheese. Pro tip: They have cups of variety cheese, they... sell wine, and yes they have plastic cups... Life changing! Read more
Excellent Gouda selection. You can see the wheels through a window. The parking lot could use some updating, but there are... cones. The bathrooms are clean and updated. There's a cute gift shop and little grocery store to pair with a gazillion types ofGouda. It was honestly very difficult to choose. I tried the clove Gouda, and despite having to pick out the difficult to eatcloves, the flavor was awesome. Of course I love anything clove, so there's that. I found their cumin Gouda delicious meltedover shredded rotisserie chicken. Sorry it was so smack I didn't take a picture. Next time. Anyway this place is worth the drivefrom the twin cities otherwise I found this yummy cheese in Whole foods. Thanks so much for the yummy cheese. Read more
