Kopp’s Frozen Custard Secret Menu Guide 2026

Kopp’s Frozen Custard has no official secret menu, but the off-menu playbook regulars use is very real: call the Flavor Line for the two rotating flavors of the day, order them as custom sundaes or extra-thick malts, stack toppings like pecans and hot fudge, and watch for the monthly featured shake and sundae. Here’s exactly how to order each one.

Here’s the thing about the Kopps secret menu: it doesn’t exist like a Starbucks or In-N-Out secret menu. No hidden list on the back of the counter. But honestly, Kopp’s doesn’t need one. It invented the flavor of the day in the 1960s and serves two fresh rotating flavors every day, so the menu changes faster than any secret list ever could.

So this guide does something better than inventing fake secret items. I dug through the real menu, the official kopps.com flavor calendar, and the actual prices to put together the moves regulars use. Skim the full Kopp’s Frozen Custard menu with prices first so the numbers here make sense. Ready to order like a local? Let’s go.

What Is the Kopps Secret Menu?

The honest answer: there is no printed secret menu at Kopp’s Frozen Custard. Nobody behind the counter has a cheat sheet of hidden items. But the Kopps secret menu is a real thing in practice, because Kopp’s invented the flavor of the day concept back in the 1960s and never stopped iterating on it. Two brand-new flavors rotate in every single day, which means the menu changes faster than any printed secret list ever could.

The other half of the “secret menu” is the build-your-own system. Kopp’s sells specialty sundaes, malts, shakes, and custard sodas, and every one can be customized with extras: pecans, cashews, chopped nuts, peanuts, bananas, malt powder, and hot fudge. Locals know the combos worth ordering, and now you will too.

How Do You Hack the Flavor of the Day?

This is the single most important move in the whole guide. Kopps flavors of the day are two fresh flavors, different at every visit, and they are the reason locals line up. Here’s how to game the system:

What Custom Sundaes Can You Build at Kopps?

A Kopps custom sundae starts with the specialty sundae menu and goes wherever your imagination does:

Now the customization, the real secret. Order any of these with the day’s rotating flavors instead of standard vanilla or chocolate, and add extras:

Here’s a move I love: order a junior scoop of the flavor of the day (just $3.15) as a regular sundae with pecans and hot fudge. You get the full Kopp’s experience for less than the specialty sundaes, and the staff are happy to do it.

Are There Secret Shakes and Malts at Kopps?

Nothing on the menu board, but ask and you’ll get it. Malts and shakes run $4.50 regular, $5.75 thick, and you can request any flavor in the case, including the day’s specials. A thick malt made with the rotating flavor is the closest thing to a Kopps secret menu item regulars talk about.

Two more sleeper picks. First, the custard sodas ($4.00): frozen custard mixed with soda, a float-like drink most chains don’t even sell. Second, Sprecher root beer on tap. Kopp’s serves Milwaukee’s own Sprecher for the same price as fountain soda, and a Sprecher float made with vanilla custard is one of the most Wisconsin things you can order.

Can You Order Kopps Custard To Go?

Yes, and this surprises people. Kopp’s sells custard to go in pints ($5.50), quarts ($11.00), and half gallons ($18.00). Order online through the Kopp’s app for pickup, or have it shipped to your door through the website, packed in dry ice.
