They have a little bit of all kinds of unique ice cream flavors, and we (family of 4 - two adults, 2 young kids) all loved our different choices. The feel of the place was the perfect local American walkup summer ice cream stand.

The course itself was not the most interesting or challenging, and some holes were repeats of others, but it was well maintained and easy for children to pick up. Plus, for $3.50 per ball you can't beat it! I had a butterscotch milkshake and drank it so fast I can't really remember how it tasted. Must have been delicious though. My friends ordered actual food like mozzarella sticks and hot dogs, and they looked very frozen but that's expected. Double Dip is a great spot to do a double take!

It all started on a smoky, 87 degree Saturday in July when our camping plans got a rain check and we were open for a good time. Big Mini Putt Club was initially discussed but nixed because we weren't feeling the downtown vibe or $12 a person/9 holes. Then, we looked up AJ's mini golf but they had a private event scheduled. Yelp suggested Double Dip and after one ring, the employee on the telephone sold us with $3.50/person for 18 holes and recommended we come before 7p (thanks for the tip!). We parked, watched the first half of England vs. France at Walker Roadhouse and walked right over to the Depot. The course was perfect (no waiting around and lots of shade) for our 4 year old who got her first hole in one on the 15th! The ice cream/cone of ice came out quick (no line either) at 6:30p and we had our choice of picnic tables with umbrellas to enjoy. Overall, great family date night! We rarely frequent the west side, besides for the zoo, but will have to plan another trip before the summer ends. Sorry Frosty Boy - we'll see you soon (probably tomorrow) and congrats on winning Best of the West!

There are some real issues that need to be addressed at this location. I called the downtown GR location to inquire if Allendale was even open and she said she has received numerous calls regarding the lack of customer phone service for Allendale & really didn't know the status of the location and stated they have heard many complaints about Allendale. AlsoI have had an equal amount unpleasant experiences & good experiences with staff when visiting this location. If you are the owner or manager of the Allendale Insomnia then please whip this place into shape because your product is really good & the potential to be a great business exists! Edit: after not being able to reach any one via phone my daughter opted to drive out to this location and see if it was even open. It was. When told the phone is set to after hours the employee stated the phone isn't working and they never receive calls (duh). My daughter ordered and was told none of the 6 cookies she wanted were baked and she would have to wait 15 minutes. In the end, it took 30 minutes (which makes me think the oven was not even preheated). She headed home and when she got here they were all burnt on the bottom & of course tasted burnt. $25 wasted... Needless to say we will never be using this location ever again. We are equidistant between the GR and Allendale location. We usually choose Allendale for their accessibility. My advice - choose customer service (GR) over accessibility (Allendale) if you want great cookies and superb customer service.

I'm glad we did because we found this place on national ice cream day. I got coffee with chocolate chips. I originally ordered two different flavors, but they put the same flavor in.

Coopersville Creamery serves ice creams made from different local dairy farms. I love that!! They also serve regular food and soft serve. Give em a try!

After a year of driving by, today was the day I checked out Crossroads Blueberry Market, and I'm…read moreglad I did. Outside of all the blueberries your heart desires, Crossroads sells blueberry-based condiments, baked goods, and coffee; peaches; Hudsonville ice cream; two frozen cookie doughs; two kinds of ice cream sandwiches; and merch. Being the glutton I am, I bought an ice cream sandwich with dried blueberry and white chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream. I'd describe the cookies as "good." To make them "great," they would benefit from a bright note, like lemon zest. On a return trip, I may give the blueberry buckle a fair chance, and I'll never say no to five pounds of Crossroads' blueberries. I would especially recommend this market to those with kids. There's a great playground behind the store, and that's where the fun's at.

The fields were large, so it did not feel over crowded, despite going on a weekend day. The market was clean and stocked, and had a wide variety of surprising goodies (blueberry salsa and blueberry mustard?!). Everything we ate there was fantastic, and we grabbed multiple frozen goods to try throughout the week like their blueberry brats and sausages. The playground was also very nice, with a basketball shooting "range" (much like you see at an arcade) and a duck racing water game. Very fun for kids of all ages. This is definitely worth a stop by during the blueberry season!! I'm also happy to report that they were professional with my service animal :) They were more hesitant to let my pup in the fields for U-Pick (understandably), but once they understood that she was a medical necessity they were fully accommodating. We had a great time!
