    Came here Memorial Day around 7. Yes, it was busy BUT the line went quick! Plus, you're going to need time to look over that massive menu. Highly recommend the mighty mint specialty sundae. I already have ideas for my next visits (yes. Plural). Parking: there's a lot but there are so many people walking around that it's just better to street park Staff: very welcoming and smiling faces! $$: little more costly than your other mom & pop ice cream shops but way more intricate. They accept cards! Seating: all outside; both in the sun and in the shade

    I'm embarrassed to admit that I am lived in the area for over a decade and had never been here until this summer. Wow was I missing out. Everything they have is delicious. I have gotten so many different items here an each was was always perfect. My favorite though are the banana peanut butter milkshake and my all time favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream! They have license tables you can sit and eat and and it's also right bay the bike bath so you have go for a walk. There is not a lot of parking but you can park on the side street. Seriously DELICIOUS!!! A few times the lines have been long but they always move quickly.

    Their ice cream Sundae is a MUST try!!! I got the chunky monkey sundae. It said it was topped with a puff pastry, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It turned out to be so freaking good.... Plus it was huge, and yes I still ate it all lol The shop itself is super cute, definitely a small town ice cream shop. It's a walk up and order place, but there are a bunch of outdoor picnic and patio tables to sit at. They made our order quickly, and we ate while we were waiting for our table at the Zukey Lake Tavern to be ready. It was the perfect way to kill some time!

    This is a classic in the Pinckney area for locally-owned ice cream. They have everything from soft serve, Hersheys ice cream, milkshakes, and sundaes. There is something for everyone of all ages!

    Holy moly do they have options galore! Portions are generous and picnic tables were clean when we arrived. Staff was helpful when my little guy had to go potty- something to note is there is NO public bathroom there, so my husband drove him to the gas station to go potty.

    I love how cute this place is. I'm a sucker for small businesses and trying new places. The building is shaped like a barn and they have an excellent menu with so many choices. I love the location as it's peaceful and lots of trees surrounding. Will be back again

    See all

    As advertised. Nothing fancy, but still good. May be a little higher price than you'd expect for soft serve type ice cream.
