Delicious treat after a day at the Indiana Dunes Beach! Fun flavors with even better names. Lots of options and you get to sit in a 50s style dinner that just seems right for enjoying an ice cream. Very cute place and the staff was wonderful! read more

What a great experience! This is a well-maintained, clean, and neat "old school" ice cream parlor that is absolutely cute. The employees were incredibly fun and helpful during our visit. On top of the wonderful service, they make a mean banana split and caramel brownie sundae--both were huge and incredibly tasty! Highly recommend stopping by for a delicious treat. read more

The staff there is energetic and helpful. The ice cream is the best around! The seasonal / rotation flavors are awesome, and they always have old favorites too. Everything is clean and well kept. Perfect for any person or people- everyone should come for a visit read more

Been in twice now both time customer service has lacked a bit almost a rushed and unwelcome feel maybe because we're new customers. The icecream is good with a decent amount of options though a bit more on the pricey side, still a nice and old diner aesthetic vibe to the place. read more

Ice cream was good but selection was limited. Didn't feel like your typical ice cream place. Service was just ok.

Love this place. They have unique flavors that you can't find most other places. The service is pretty fast even if they have a line. Not to mention, if you don't know what you want you can ask for their opinion or they'll let you look till you figure out what flavor you want. The inside of the place has an old school type vibe to it which is super nice. My son loves the ice cream and so do I. It's our favorite ice cream shop around this area and I highly recommend trying it out if you're in the mood for ice cream read more

Visiting from out of town. We ate dinner at the hot dog place across the street, then came to this drive through for some dessert. I had a baby-size cone of chocolate peanut butter cup that was a great size for me, just enough, and a super #yum. And they give free pup cups! My dog approves!! #yum #ReviewsByRL read more

This is the place to go. It was very busy but we didn't wait long. A lot of options to choose from. All their ice cream is from Chocolate Shoppe based out of Wisconsin. I ordered a malt and was pleasantly surprised at how not overly sweet it was. My son ordered a superhero in a sugar cone and I don't think I've ever seen him eat ice cream so fast. read more

Big space with outdoor spacing. I visited during my travel. I was not expecting so many Greta flavors. I got coffee flavored ice creame, which tastes really good. The service was good too. read more

I used to consult Yelp to determine if the food at restaurants was good. But during the Coronavirus, I'm finding Yelp essential to find out whether restaurants have outdoor seating and are abiding by restaurant COVID regulations and best practices so that's the focus of this review. I hope that it will help others since this information is not readily available elsewhere. So, in addition to Yelp's traditional stars, I'm taking liberties with the English language and awarding my own "KOVID KUDOS" (Krispy Kreme and Kwik Trip have also wrought havoc on the English language)! KOVID KUDOS are my selective assessment on a 5 point scale of the restaurant's COVID attentiveness such as wearing masks and social distancing, operational reinvention and staff attitude under these unusual pandemic circumstances. Bubbles gets a 5/5 on KOVID KUDOS because they are paying attention. We appreciate it. They have four or five outside tables and if you can nab one, you can place your order with a server there. If it's raining, it's the place to be since you'll be protected under the roof. If you can't score a table, the drive-in is the only other way to order. On one visit, we got a table but on another we went through the drive-in line. The "car" in front of us was actually two little kids walking through the drive-in to place an order since you can't go inside. Very cute! Even though the drive through option is not as convenient as ordering at the counter, we appreciated the system they put in place to protect their staff and us. They were not serving a few items such as the Epic shakes because it required too much manual handling of glassware, which Bubbles was avoiding. We wanted an Epic shake, but appreciated why we couldn't get one. We were grateful, actually. BTW, the staff were all wearing masks and seems very comfortable operating in this environment. I do wish they had disposable menus outside instead of the stapled wads of paper menus. That would be a "plus." Still, Bubbles is paying attention and does a nice job. The ice cream, as you probably know, is outstanding. My favorite is the Smores Sundae with Turtle Ice Cream. It has a big delicious brownie hiding under all that deliciousness. I'm also partial to the graham cracker dust they sprinkle on top. Love this place. read more

Amazing ice cream! Plenty of flavors to choose from. Friendly service. I highly recommend going.

Ice cream was delicious. The two young girls working were fantastic. The owner who was sitting in his chair on the other hand was extremely rude to his two young employees. Specially a girl named Megan. He sat in his chair eating a bowl of popcorn and proceeded to make a comment to her about "it not being her first day" when she was looking for a bag for me. It almost made me want to speak up and defend the poor girl. She looked so uncomfortable. She needs to leave that place and go somewhere where she will be treated with respect. It left me so angry that I would never go back to this place. read more

The service is always a 10/10. We come here at least once while visiting family to get our fill of ice-cream. Definitely a smaller ice-cream shop but it is always busy when we go in. You get exactly what you pay for which in my opinion is great. read more

Cute and yummy! This place serves up the creamiest fun flavors-he got a banana split (which you can customize) and I got 'This $&@! Just got serious' ice cream and it is amazing-chocked full of cashews and fudge. Cute atmosphere-gives traditional soda shop vibes. Nice patio and its dog friendly. We will be back! read more

This place just seemed like a typical ice cream spot. Perhaps we missed some ambiance due to COVID. Thought it was drive thru only. So we drove thru and then ate at their picnic table. Not a whole lot else to say. Our group of 7 were all satisfied with our selections. read more

Went at the end of the season on a TU night so it wasn't very busy. Glad to find them open. Quick service and easy to sample the different flavors. The store is clean and bright. I had peanut butter cup ice cream. Rich chocolate with big chunks of peanut butter. My partner had caramel ic. She liked it. Glad we went. Would love to go back. read more

Really really yummy ice cream. You can tell it's truly one of a kind. I got 2 scoops of the caramel ice cream and o my goodness. I honestly think it's the best ice cream I've ever had. My mom agreed too read more

Such a fun place to go after having a hot dog at Carlsons! My favorite part: they have Dole Whip! YUM!!!! read more

Great service and super ice cream! Lots of flavor choices in sugar cones, waffles cones, or cups. They have an excellent banana split, too!

Ice Cream tasted great. Staff was nice. Big variety of flavors. Definitely recommend.

We went through the drive thru which was convenient and went smoothly. The cotton candy shake was smooth and tasted like you were at the carnival. The hot fudge sundae I had made with the flavor "this $?!@ is getting serious"! Holy cow was the ice cream flavor (salted caramel with salted fudge) was amazing!!! The fudge sauce was perfect. My husband had a banana split with pecans added and he loved it. Their ice cream flavor options are great! I recommend! read more

Dare I say it? I have officially been converted from Oink's to Bubbles Ice Cream. Their ice cream comes from Wisconsin and we all know Wisconsin knows dairy. Adorable ice cream parlor with a vintage diner vibe and staff is always so friendly! I have yet to try a flavor I don't like and frequent this parlor in the summer to cool off. Make it a point to stop in and see for yourself read more

We were drawn to the area for geocaching. One of the best things this hobby does is takes you to places you ordinarily wouldn't go if it weren't for finding the cache. Well thank you for bringing us here. We grabbed lunch across the street and couldn't pass up the opportunity to grab some amazing ice cream. Even during these difficult times, these folks were spot on and the ice cream was awesome. read more

My wife and I wondered over to this place right after we grabbed a bit to eat over at Carlson's across the street. Or should I say, I made it a mission to head on over to this ice cream parlor ; ) When we ventured on over here, we found the line to be kinda long. Which made my wife have second thoughts. All that I had to do, was to pull up the pictures on yelp and remind her why it was we should be waiting in the line. Since that worked. It seemed that the line moved quite quickly, regardless of the line size. I got the usual. Coconut shake w/ whipped cream and a cherry on top. I forgot what my wife had, seeing that I enjoyed my shake that much, LOL. But I'd have to say. Anytime you see a line out the door, and a good ratting posted on yelp. Just believe you will not find yourself being disappointed. Because I sure didn't. Definitely going to stop here again whenever I'm back in the area. Because there is a lot more to explore at this location. So make your own review and check it out. I'd definitely come back. read more

Had to leave a review because they don't have enough mentions! Great ice cream flavors to choose from, and the prices are so reasonable! So close to our Michigan City rental, and we loved it! read more

Really good ice cream. Lots of different flavors and types of cones. Can be busy on hot days but never a crazy long wait.

I had the NEW Epic Dirt n Worms Shake!!! Can't really say it was worth $12.95 but it was pretty "epic". She had the Superman ice cream (hard to find back home) in a chocolate dipped and sprinkled waffle cone. I couldn't eat the whole shake, she loved her cone... I'm now fighting a sugar coma and being yelled at because I'm paying attention to my phone and not my lady... just go here and splurge on the epic shake... gotta go! read more

This is the best ice cream ever! And yes, the $13 EPIC shake is absolutely worth trying at least once in your life! The dole whip is very unique and delicious! They have 34 hard ice cream flavors! If you are into vintage throwbacks, they have phosphates....reminisce back to those good days when being a soda jerk was a good thing. Bubbles would also describe the atmosphere....very fun and clean....! This is easily our favorite ice cream joint...and we have definitely had our more than fair share of scoops. Don't pass up Bubbles! read more

Bubbles is a fun place. Lots of ice cream flavors, a variety of cones to choose from, and even epic shakes (which I haven't tried yet). The double scoop is too much for me. The ultimate Oreo ice cream is our favorite. Cookie flavor ice cream with Oreo bits. Yum! They have real dishes for sundaes and scoops if you are eating inside so you can avoid disposable plastic if that's important to you. We haven't tried the donuts or the other desserts yet but they all look so good! read more

Quaint little ice cream parlor. Has the feel of an old fashioned shop. Spirited staff. Sparkling clean tables and display. They were able to keep the line moving on a hot, busy day. They took pride in their work for sure. Great stop after dinner or for a cool treat. read more

The ice cream there was great and we went both nights during our stay. All the workers there were nice and they all seemed hardworking. The only problem we had was with the owner of the restaurant. He sat in his chair both nights we were there just staring at all the young girls who were working. Both nights the only time he ever stopped staring was to yell at the young girls for the little things he didn't like. As a women; it was just disgusting to see him staring at them!! Absolutely gross!! Everything was great but him, he needs to go!! read more

Bubbles is the kind of place that seemed ideal to go to on a hot summer night. A short drive from our hotel got us to Bubbles, a quaint ice cream shop that seemed to be hopping with action. After looking at all the mouth watering selections, my wife and I both ordered two scoop sundaes. They were great! The hand scooped ice cream, chocolate topping and whipped cream created a wonderful dessert. Service was fast and friendly, as the group of young ladies who were working that night worked together and helped each other so that customers were served quickly. If you have that urge to get some great tasting ice cream, this is the place to go! read more

Delicious Zanzibar chocolate milk shake. Quick drive through experience. Great prices.

Great place for ice cream! Service and setting is wonderful. Reminds one of the old sofa and fountain shops of long ago.

Great ice cream and very friendly staff. What more to say? They're open late in summer and they have a wide variety of flavors to please the whole family. There's a drive thru if you can't be bothered to leave your car, but the lines always move quickly. The staff has always been helpful when I wanted something extra, like a hand packed pint, etc. We'll be back. read more

Bubbles Ice Cream Parlor is a community staple. The customer service is great and the ice cream is so good. The interior is a fun throw back to the ice cream shops of the past (COVID has kept Bubbles being drive through only). The owners support the community and community events and last year when the lock downs first occurred, Bubbles was giving out free PB&J and milk to kids who were facing food insecurity and lack of school lunches. This is such a great place and so yummy!! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed sharing the strawberry cheesecake EPIC shake....delish. Cute ice cream parlor with real bubbles blowing outside. read more

Adorable old school ice cream shop in Michigan City! Stopped here on our way out of the outlet malls and it didn't disappoint. We got the cookie dough cookie epic milkshake and it's easily splittable by 2-3 people! $15 for one of these bad boys. They have 12 other flavors too including birthday cake, double chocolate, Reese's + more! Lots of delicious looking ice cream flavors and a bunch of cake donuts customizable to your favorite flavors. read more
