    Blueberry Hill and Salted Caramel Crack
    Krista T.

    This local ice cream shop is an underrated gem WITH a drive through!! I'm so glad we found it and really feel no need to drive further away for ice cream. The salted caramel crack was amazing--salted caramel ice-cream with chocolate covered saltine toffee. I also sampled the lavender and Oreo--both really good!! There are lots of options beyond their ice creams too--sundaes, flurries, slushes, floats, shakes. I appreciate the vegan options for my lactose intolerant son--he loved the vegan blueberry. We will definitely go back!!

    Amazing ice cream, our new favorite. Love the drive through option! (Giving Moomers a run for the title)

    Very good. Worth a try when the line at Moomers is ridiculously long. I actually liked this better!

    Their outside menu and their inside menu are not the same, and its hard to identify the hand dipped ice cream flavors when ordering in the drive thru.

    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.

    This place was right on the farm. Besides just regular ice cream, they had sundaes, floats,…read moreflurries, old fashioned sodas, etc. There were plenty of choices to choose from. The lengthy line moved quickly with an efficient process by the staff. An ice cream flight ($10?) was ordered. Five flavors were chosen. Each was about half a scoop I would say. The flavors I tried are below. Most of the ice cream was fulfilling, but not as creamy as I would have thought being homemade. Black Cherry - This was black cherry ice cream with pieces of Michigan cherry pieces. This was plain and did not really taste like anything except for the cherry pieces. Cherries Moobilee - This was black cherry ice cream with chocolate fudge swirl, brownie chunks, and black cherry chunks. Again, the ice cream was plain, but the pieces of everything else helped overcome that a little bit. Cherry Pie a La Mode - This was vanilla ice cream with cherry swirl and pie pieces. This was my favorite. The cherry swirl combined with the small pie pieces made for an appealing treat. Butter Pecan - This again just lacked flavor besides the pecan pieces. Lemon Raspberry - This was lemon ice cream with a raspberry swirl. This was just not good at all. The lemon did not taste like lemon at all, and there was hardly any raspberry. Even with a small portion, I would expect the swirl to be in every bite. Will I go back? Debatable.

    I had a very disappointing and upsetting experience at Buchan's Blueberry Hill…read more Before picking peaches, a young employee told me that we were allowed to pick them. Based on what she told us, we went ahead and picked some. Later, an older woman confronted me and spoke to me very disrespectfully. When I explained that the young employee had told me we could pick peaches, she essentially accused me of lying and claimed that the employee had said they could pick peaches, not us. This was clearly an employee communication issue, yet instead of calmly clearing up the misunderstanding, I was treated as though I had done something dishonest. What upset me even more was an older male employee intentionally spraying water toward/on my young son. Regardless of whatever misunderstanding happened about the peaches, involving a child like that was completely inappropriate and unacceptable. Overall, we felt unwelcome and disrespected here. As a minority family, the way we were spoken to and treated made the experience especially uncomfortable and left us wondering whether we would have been treated the same way if we were not minorities. We came expecting a fun family outing and left feeling insulted and unwelcome. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Buchan's Blueberry Hill.
