My Fiancee and I stopped in after seeing a tiktok review.... The owner greeted us when we walked in and asked if it was our first time... we got a full run down of the menu. Had samples of ice cream. Eventually, we went with one of their best sellers and another fun item. She got an Ice Cream Nacho with Mackinac Island Fudge. It was a very fun, a very interesting concept, and we enjoyed it. I ordered a lemon cheesecake shake with strawberry topping... it sounded so weird, but was amazing. We will be back! read more

My family's new ice cream spot! My wife and I had dinner at a local spot and were in the mood for ice cream, we checked yelp and came across this place. Soon as we walked in we were greeted and we already knew we wanted the ice cream nachos from the pictures on yelp. We didn't realize how big the scoops were going to be AND we got a topping per scoop. I got the peanut butter paradise with Reese pieces and my wife got the lemon cheesecake ice cream with strawberry crunch. There wasn't an area to sit but it was well lit. We just ate in our car and it was amazing, the scoops were so big we took most of it home and are now enjoying it the day after. Go to this place if you're in the mood for ice cream. read more

Tiny little ice cream parlor, the staff is very "hometown nice," personable and warm. Makes you feel welcome. The ice cream is good, the portions are large, and the prices reasonable. The "ice cream nachos" are particularly fun, although it's probably meant to be shared between several people. The interior decor is nice, although I wish they wouldn't have used AI. read more

Not gonna hold you - this place is AMAZING. I was SO tired of ice cream places that were ridiculously priced, stingy, and just not that great (regardless of the hype). Set to hunting down a new spot - and found this hidden gem. I can honestly report that I have no complaints about this place. None. And to date, I still can't believe I had previously never known of their existence. That "quiet excellence" has got to go, though; this place deserves to be in the spotlight. So - what I love about it (in the order encountered): - convenient location - great hours - accessible, ample, and free parking - very cute, very attractive, "fantasy land" old-fashioned-in-all-the-right-ways - shoppe, in design and decor (and name, I mean - it really does say it all) - some seating indoors and outdoors - very clean, organized, and well kept...no weird or bad smells (I notice things like that, lol) - consistently very welcoming, friendly, and respectful service - to everyone who enters; family and black-owned. - a nice selection of delicious flavors; some well-trod for those with simpler tastes (My mom loves the Butter Pecan) - along with some great, more unique offerings you will not find everywhere. A friend of ours, loves the Blueberry ice cream they have. Two of My favorites, are the Lemon Cheesecake (lemony, with actual chunks of lemon cheesecake - crust and all!) and Peanut Putter Paradise (mini chocolate peanut butter cups & dollop-swirls of peanut butter). In a waffle cone, of course. Always in a waffle cone. :) - they allow free sampling, to help you make your choice; a necessary and helpful function, because no one is trying to get stuck with something that doesn't resonate, or they don't like; although in this case - the problem is WHICH ONE OF THESE DELICIOUS THINGS DO I GET...?! Lol - high-quality, DELICIOUS ice cream - with all the right flavor pairings and profiles; the right balance of richness, creaminess, etc. No shortcuts, no stingy aspects (elements barely there, like you find in the usual commercial offerings). - an amazing selection of choices of other ice cream and associated offerings...many we have yet to get to, ourselves; I welcome the challenge. Haha - competitively and reasonably priced; especially given the quality of product, service, and atmosphere - as well as the serving size (they are not stingy about it). - everything you could possibly need during your ice cream adventure, is there. Napkins (nice, thick, quilted, absorbent ones!), utensils, hand sanitizer, cups and machine for good-tasting, cold water. From start to finish, it is so very obvious that so much love, intention, and vision went into the creation and construction of every detail of this place. They really invested everything. I cannot praise this place, enough. I don't do flattery. All of this is real - no hyperbole. 10/10 - would DEFINITELY recommend. read more

Very friendly staff and my selection was the most delicious black cherry I've had and happened to be vegan, made with oat milk! read more

We stopped in after finding on Yelp and were very impressed. Small cute shop and very good ice cream! We got the White Russian Mocha and the Cookie Monster flavors. Very good. Highly recommend. Service was very good. We aren't local, but visit the area often, so we decided to go back again when we are in town!!! read more

Stopped into Candy Coated Creamery the other day. Not too much in terms of the place - a small parlor with a few outdoor seats, but it doesn't need more than that. Fantastic ice cream with huge portions (one scoop is more than enough but you can get two and even three if you'd like) and enough variety in flavors to satisfy anybody's sweet tooth. And that's without mentioning the variety of other options from milkshakes to sundaes to cheesecake to ice cream nachos. Staff were very friendly and it was a great value. Not living in the area any more but if I come back, definitely going to make semi-regular visits to Candy Coated Creamery! read more

Tasty and huge servings! Friendly staff and quirky decor. Support a local business and indulge your sweet tooth!

This place is great. The ice cream flavors are excellent. I had the chocolate lava muffin with vanilla ice cream and could barely finish it (very generous portions). I wanted the strawberry shortcake shake that comes with an ice cream bar, cookies, etc. It kind of looks like a fancy Bloody Mary but with ice cream and treats. Oh, most important. The staff were awesome. Good people doing good work. I'm from out of town and only in Ypsilanti a couple times a year, but this will be my go to place when I want a sweet treat. read more
