Misty's Malt Shop

"Home of the World Famous Black Raspberry Ice Cream"

About Us

Welcome to Misty’s Malt Shop—a beloved Keosauqua tradition since 2003! Misty’s journey began right here in the shop, working through high school and falling in love with the atmosphere, the people, and the joy of serving great food. One day, she “got a wild hair” and decided to buy the business—and the rest is history!

Today, Misty is still in the shop most days, personally involved in every detail to ensure the quality and care our customers have come to expect. Locally owned and operated, we’re proud to serve up favorites like our tenderloins and juicy hamburgers, alongside hearty wraps, sandwiches, and a full breakfast menu available until 10 AM. And of course, we’re home to the World Famous Black Raspberry Ice Cream—a recipe Misty created herself that’s literally known across the globe! Pair it with one of our creamy shakes or malts for the ultimate treat.

At Misty’s Malt Shop, we’re more than a place to eat—we’re a part of the community. We love seeing familiar faces and welcoming new ones, and we invite you to stop by and experience the flavors and hospitality that make us a local favorite.

Generally just a great spot to stop and give yourself a treat. I had a black raspberry soft ice cream - i don't see them very often, and it was delicious. Hubs had a black raspberry shake and loved it. Sweet people serving AND waiting in line.
