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!

They're currently only open 2pm-8pm every day but I think the hours expand over summer. I got a soft serve twist with chocolate hard shell and my husband got a cookies n cream and thin mint flurry! The hard shell/dipped cone wasn't on the menu but I asked and they have chocolate, cherry and peanut butter.

Sure enough, the food was fantastic and the ice cream was amazing (if you haven't had Moomer's, please stop what you are doing right now and make a plan to get some - you deserve it). And the service was great - they were smoking more meat while we were there and the aroma in the vicinity was nothing short of delightful. I would not be surprised to see a return visit in our future when we are back in Traverse City again!

Not a fan of the new shirts- I thought I was buying one with a cute ice cream on it but alas... it is a blurry "bardons" that everyone thinks says "brandons". When I went back to ask about the other option the girls said that was all they had (even though the sign had a different design and they were all wearing old designs). Didn't love that. Absolutely love the ice cream and hope it can make it another 75 years!

If you're in Traverse City, do yourself a favor and make a stop at West End Tavern…read more I stopped in for dinner by myself, and from the moment I walked in, I felt welcome. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable, and relaxed, making it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy a great meal. The service was outstanding from start to finish--attentive, friendly, and the kind of service that makes you feel like a valued guest without ever being overbearing. I ordered the Bone-In Tomahawk Pork Chop, served with balsamic-glazed Brussels sprouts with bacon and mashed potatoes, and it was one of the best meals I've had in Traverse City. The pork chop was absolutely massive. I ordered it medium, and it came out perfectly cooked--juicy, incredibly tender, and with very little fat. It was so tender I could almost cut it with my fork. Every bite was packed with flavor, and it was easily the star of the meal. The Brussels sprouts were exceptional. They had the perfect balance of sweetness with just a hint of bitterness, and once you mixed in the bacon... wow. They were phenomenal. I honestly wish I had taken a picture because the entire plate was huge. The portion size was incredible, and I left completely full. The mashed potatoes were good--nothing extraordinary on their own--but paired with the pork chop they rounded out the meal perfectly. I also ordered a side of the risotto, which was rich, creamy, and served piping hot. It was a little cheesier than I typically prefer, but it paired beautifully with the pork chop. Before my entrée, I ordered the seafood chowder, and it completely blew me away. I'm usually not a fan of onion or celery in soups, but this was hands down the best seafood chowder I've ever had. It was peppery, rich, and packed with incredible flavor. Honestly, I could have ordered a large bowl and called it dinner. It was that good. I would come back to West End Tavern just for the chowder. West End Tavern absolutely delivered. Between the exceptional service, generous portions, perfectly prepared food, and welcoming atmosphere, this was an outstanding dining experience. The seafood chowder alone is worth the visit, but the Bone-In Tomahawk Pork Chop is the dish I'll be thinking about for a long time. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Traverse City.

It was good but not great. The pie crust, due to the high amounts of butter, just got very hard in the ice cream and made it challenging to eat. But the ice cream itself was delicious so I'd definitely be into trying a different flavor there. They have a small market with some other blueberry products and pre-packed ice cream and such.
