We went to Moomers on our trip to northern Michigan. Moomers is an ice cream place located on a…read morefarm west of Traverse City. The ice cream was rich and was nice potions. We had Cherries Moobilee. It had plenty of cherries, chunks of brownie, with a chocolate swirl. We had a small, but it was very generous. There were a variety of favors. I wish I had room for more. There were a few tables indoors and outdoor seating at picnic tables on a deck overlooking the farm. The service was quick, and workers were helpful. You may have to seek it out, but it is worth the effort. I would definitely recommend Moomers.

Good because the ice cream was fantastic but bad because we went every single day and I've never eaten so much ice cream in such a short period of time . Moomers is a local homemade ice cream spot next to their dairy farm a little off the beaten path. Their website lists all of their flavors (and there are many) but when you arrive there's a daily menu of what is available. Every flavor I tried was delicious and chock full of the goodies they add in. They highlight their Cherries Moobilee which is a black cherry ice cream with chocolate swirl a black cherries. They also have some sorbet options if you're non dairy and some unique sundaes on their menu as well. When you enter the store you immediately smell the homemade waffle cones and you're likely to see a line, maybe even out the door. But their service is friendly and efficient and they do a great job of moving people through fast! There's a few booths indoors to sit at but the patio is a real gem on a summer day with plenty of picnic tables and a view of the farm next door. Definitely stop in and give them a try! It was a highlight of our vacation!

Kettlewell's is closed for the season (last day is Labor Day) but I had to add it to Yelp because…read moreit's such a cute spot and deserves some extra business when they reopen next season! We had a rental house around the corner and it delighted me to have a little dessert and snack shop nearby. It's a walk up window specializing in soft serve treats like cones, sundaes, flurries, shakes and malts. The ice cream is smooth and dreamy! I had the turtle sundae and it was divine! My mom went for a soft serve with strawberries and we were impressed that it was chunks of fresh strawberries, not a fake syrup. My husband went with an orange float and it was made with local Northwoods soda. It was all so good! They also have a menu of savory snacks like soft pretzels, nachos, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, and sloppy joes. We kept talking about stopping by for a pretzel but it didn't work out so I can't speak much to their savory offerings, unfortunately. The stand itself is adjacent to the GT Butterfly House & Bug Zoo and, upon looking the place up online, I learned that Kettlewell's is the name of a groundbreaking moth researcher and that's the kind of nerdy trivia that I live for. Reopening May 1st so mark your calendars!

Any time is a good time for ice cream, I believe :) The menu at Scoops 22 is overwhelmingly huge! They serve such a variety of flavors & combos that my head was spinning. I was craving something with fudge in it, but they sadly didn't really have an option that contained anything more than chocolate chunks, so I opted for a combo of a scoop of cherry/chocolate Moomer's ice cream & a scoop of cookie dough to go with it. You obviously can't really go all that wrong with ice cream and cookie dough, but the cookie dough could've tasted better. It was overwhelmingly just dominated by sickly sweet sugar rather than any kind of flavor. Either that or perhaps the combo of cherry and cookie dough just didn't really mesh well. Probably just a bad pick from me and I will play it more safe next time when I come back here! They're a great establishment that also carries several several non-dairy & vegan options that they make in house as well, which is a really wonderful thing!

But this one does have more buildings. The food was really good! Had a pulled pork sandwich that came with chips. I also tried the cherry coffee (it was ok. I wish it was sweet on its own because I think the cream I used hurt my stomach). Loved that they had a changing table in the bathroom! Their decor is really cute and they have many beautiful flowers! We purchased cherry jam and got our 2nd Cherry Republic passport stamp!

We got the Il Porco pizza which had Italian sausage and sweet onion on it. We opted to get the Roman crust and it was very flavorful! The downside was it was a long wait to get our food. Like crazy long. We also did not know if we would be served our pizza or if we would have to pick it up inside- it was a bit confusing. We would definitely eat here again as the taste of the pizza and spot along the river was worth the long wait.

It tasted pretty good and the toppings were baked under the cheese. I ordered a water, which was about $3 and in a bottle - not what I expected, but I guess it is very fancy imported water from Italy. They also offered drinks like Olipop and kombucha which might be a little more worth the money. The girl taking our order didn't go out of her way to be friendly but it wasn't a bad experience or anything. I don't believe there was much of a wait before our order, but the pizza was predicted to take 20 minutes to make. The inside is pretty crowded but the picnic tables were cute to sit in. I do think the hours are a little strange, definitely not for early dinner eaters. Overall, it was a cute outdoor dining experience and they did consider gf and vegan pretty well!
