White Cottage is a Belleville favorite, the perfect place to eat some tasty ice cream. I’ve been visiting White Cottage since I played little league baseball just a few blocks from the restaurant. It’s the perfect place to go after any event for a cheap treat and/or meal.
In the summer, the staff often set out a water bowl for patrons’ dogs. There’s ample outdoor seating as they just enlarged the patio (and the parking lot). I love the unique ice cream flavors offered like cotton candy, cinnamon, and banana. I also appreciate the vintage vibe inside with the 1950s American diner-feel, though that could be enhanced. Also, quarts of various ice cream flavors are available for purchase to take home.
On my most recent visit, we came for dinner on a Friday during Lent and enjoyed their fried cod. It was tasty, though I would have enjoyed it more with lemon wedges. They very well may have had lemons, but I didn’t ask. :/
My only complaint is that they don’t have a pinball machine inside anymore. I’d spend a lot more time and money at White Cottage if that was still there.

The food is simple and to the point. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere feels like an old fashioned dinner. Definitely a staple to Belleville.

Been here before for ice cream and treats. But today I decided to try the Cottage burger and it was fantastic. Very thick good quality burgers tasty and juicy and not over cooked. Also got a side of fries and cheese sauce, Which I wasn’t the biggest fan of the cheese sauce was a little basic but not the worse I’ve had for sure. They have great food and great treats alike so it is a great choice no matter what ur after!!!!!!

There are so many things that are good about White Cottage but also bad things. I am not trying to be rude here but the prices are higher and the ice cream is not the best. But on the other hand the food is delicious and everyone is so nice and caring to all the customers. If I were to go somewhere to eat this is definitely one of my choices. The ice cream is good just not one of the best but again that is my opinion. A lot of people might disagree but I think for the amount of food we get it could be cheaper but I love supporting a small business so I love going here for food and sometimes ice cream. But I hope this helps all the people out there.

I’ve been going here a lot of years, but all the changes they made and didn’t make in the last few years has really made this place even better. Tonight I got my favorite ice cream, a really rare flavor and treat: Spumoni. It was perfect. So good, I even bought a pint to bring home!

The ice cream is so good! Known to locals as one of the best ice cream places. They serve up all kinds of different treats from cones to sundaes to concretes! So good! They also have an small indoor seating area to enjoy your treat.

Great, friendly service, and very popular with locals. Interesting flavors of ice cream like cantaloupe, Ski sorbet, lemon custard, black walnut, etc.. My tip would be to take home a quart of ice cream for the freezer which costs around $7-$8 as opposed to individual cups around $5. We also ordered food which was just okay in my opinion… the fried mushrooms I would not buy again as the breading was completely bland and just tasted like oily mushrooms. We will definitely come back for ice cream!
