    Handwritten signs. Can you say old school?! Not an ice-cream fan? I won't call blasphemy but there's sorbet for you fancy, sa-diddy kids.
    Kenge G.

    Cheat days are made for ice-cream. Yum, yum, gimme some! Normally I drive an hour and a half to Dietsch Brothers in Ohio to get ice-cream when I'm in Michigan. But I thought, why not try a local establishment like a normal person? I was deciding between Stroh's and Calder Bros (based on Yelp of course.) Calder's won, thanks to Fox E's awesome review! It was a tiny old-school joint. There was only employee which is typical I hear and the line felt like it took forever. I was rolling my eyes as the person in front of me took her time trying samples knowing I'd do the same thing when it was my turn. She even had the nerve to order a shake, sigh... I chatted with the regulars while waiting. The selection was a bit limited. There was no salted caramel or anything caramel (other than cappuccino) but it was definitely adequate. And when I saw the size of the scoops (you pay for one but really get two) and the prices, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! I got cookie dough. I figured that was the safer option since a fellow Yelper said they use artificial colors (sad face). It was light on the cookie dough, maybe three or four pieces, but creamy and melt in your life delicious! They don't have waffle cones but the tiny sugar cone was simply divine. It was worth it! Worth the wait, worth burning up waiting in line inside that hot establishment, worth the ice-cream melting in the car cause there was really nowhere within walking distance to enjoy my cone. P.S. I'd like to thank the nice guy who bought my cone after I thought he'd jumped me in line. Waiting for ice-cream makes me cranky! I salute you brother and hope to pay it forward. Real class act.. I highly recommend Calder Bros. and will definitely indulge again!

    If you're losing hair, you're just gonna get BALDER If she spills her coffee, it's gonna SCALD HER If there is an X-File, better call MULDER But there's no ice cream better than CALDER If Calder's is a U-Haul, I just HAULDER HER If Calder's is a call girl, I just CALLED HER If Calder's is Johnny Depp, I'm GENE WILDER But there's no ice cream better than CALDER WHAT What to get: Ice Cream What else: Chocolate milk And then what: My cream Hey, I just met you And this is crazy But here's my belly fat From Calder's maybe? If you're going to get fat in Detroit, do it on Detroit style pizza, do it on Masri Sweets' Kanafa, and do it on the local ice creams and custards, which are absolutely divine. None moreso than Calder's - a local tradition, and absolute ice cream perfection. Calders is absolute heaven on a cone. Forget Matcha soft serve, forget "mix ins" and nitrogen ice cream... this is just the real, traditional, thick, dairy-heavy, original "stuff". The reason we all fell in love with ice cream in the first place. Some girl told me this wasn't the best ice cream in Michigan, but she'd never even tried it. So I Calder out on it. Their stuff is so fattening and so thick and so creamy and you can tell that the people who work here enjoy it. If you know what I mean. The girl on the grocery side was really sweet, and the boys on the ice cream side were insanely nice to me. Like super ridiculously nice. I'm not used to boys being so nice unless they're into me. Maybe they were. The caramel cappuccino ice cream was amazing - just as advertised on Yelp by the girl that I added while in line here - hi. And don't get me started on the chocolate milk. It's the highlight of the place. This is not like any other chocolate milk I've ever had. I can't decide if it's my favorite or if I like the ones in Rochester better, but those taste more like milk than chocolate and this one tastes more like liquid chocolate ice cream. It's so thick and so chocolatey and so good I'm very impressed. Much like my boyfriend. I also love all of the cow decor all over the place. Anyway it's time to mooooooooove right along to the next review.

    Chocolate peanut butter
    Eve D.

    This is a first visit for us at this place. They have tons of flavors and they are all so delicious. I totally forgot that I'm lactose intolerant and of course, my stomach didn't agree with me after consuming a small cup of his deliciousness. I chose black cherry and mango and it didn't disappoint me. My husband got chocolate peanut butter in a cone and MIL got butter Pecan. The service was alright. Nothing to complain about. The store could use a little bit of renovation and maybe open up more spaces for people to sit down and eat ice cream. Other than that, I truly enjoyed our first visit and would definitely be back again. So glad I've found an ice cream place on the east side.

    Black cherry and Holstein (coconut ice cream with almonds pieces and chocolate chips). Soo good
    Casey B.

    The chocolate milk is the best! It taste like melted chocolate ice cream. The ice cream was delicious. I had the Holstein( coconut ice cream with almonds and chocolate), it's so creamy.

    Lots of options.
