I love DD!!!! Nothing else to say I wish I could put the yummy face emoji lol!!!! Also I got two ice creams today chocolate and strawberry and they were amazing :) read more

Every winter I look for the opening date for this shop and the countdown begins. I eat ice cream in February if they are open, I don't care. This is one of my favorite stops since my childhood. I really love the ice cream sundaes. My particular favorite is the black forest or turtle sundae. The blizzards are also amazing. I might go so far as to say it's the world's greatest soft serve. I was disappointed when they switched from fudgy fudge to syrupy fudge and increased their prices .50. But this place still churns out the goodness every spring and summer. read more

Dairy Deluxe - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

I've been going to dairy deluxe for the last 25 years and have always had a great experience. Ice cream is good and the menu is vast. Workers are always fast and friendly. It's cash only though, so come prepared. There is an ATM next door though if you need. read more

There is nothing about this soft serve place to complain about, except probably its popularity! You can not go wrong here. Simple cones to a dizzying array of slushes, malts, shakes, sundaes and a dog bowl. I would have written this moons ago but I didn't need to. The place is that iconic. It is CASH only, but raiding your change jar at home is easy enough it doesn't take a lot. Serving sizes are small, big and too big, really. So aside from all of that they are really good citizens who run it and those that partake. I was dumb enough to leave my phone on the bench and my find the phone app worked to tell me it hadn't walked away. So kudos to those that found it and turned it in and thanks to the workers who held on to it till I could retrieve it. The place is more than just ice cream. read more

Dairy Deluxe has great ice cream, great owners, and great staff. It opens in February and closes in November and staple of Birmingham

Yum yum yum. Can't go wrong with a small local ice cream place like this! The only downside to this particular place is it's cash only. Make sure you have some cash on you and go enjoy tasty ice cream! read more

Love this ice cream spot! I have been here a few times and it never disappoints. It is centrally located and a perfect place to go, after a dinner in Birmingham or Royal Oak, mainly on a warm summer day. They have many different options and combinations to chose from. I usually get chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream in a waffle cone or a cup of chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream with cinnamon toast crunch. Overall, a good place to get ice cream. read more

6/5 stars. This place hit the spot at just the right time. Went on a Saturday night. Was very busy, but can still find parking easily nearby. Great location to watch the cars going by on Woodward! The soft serve was phenomonal!! Chocolate soft serve dipped in Chocolate topped with Crunched Almonds was $3.25. So so good!!! Great place to go esp on a warm fri or sat eve. read more

Favorite soft serve ice cream. Variety of dips...almond crunch is my favorite. Cash only. read more

Dairy Deluxe - Twist cone. Simple and delicious. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

Just your standard soft serve. Good but not amazing. Granted, I had thought it would be frozen custard, so I was setting myself up for a world of disappointment. The chocolate soft serve was decent and chocolatey. The vanilla soft serve, on the other hand, was completely lacking in vanilla flavor, and sugar for that matter. I couldn't put my finger on it. Maybe if someone made a creamy sawdust flavor and completely eliminated the dusty/choky aspect. On the plus side, Dairy Deluxe has a ton of flavors, toppings, mix-ins, and other options; their prices are very cheap; and the roadside sign is very cool. In my opinion, Erma's trumps Dairy Queen, which in turn trumps Dairy Deluxe. I still need to try Custard & Co. though. Note: cash only. read more

Best soft serve in the greater detroit area, hands down. The ingredients are fresh, the service is amazing, the lines always move. The staff know their customers on a first name basis. The flurries are a game changer read more

I love love love their almond crunch topping and they are the only ones who have it. Good soft serve and the staff has always been nice and friendly. We've been coming here for years. And when I say years I mean that my babysitter used to bring my brother and I when we were like 8 years old and now I have an 8 year old! This has been a long run. Did I mention the almond crunch topping? Yes, I will travel for it when I get the hankering. Sooooo tasty! read more

Now this is what I call soft serve! A little bit of a farther drive down Woodward (cough cough like two minutes). My favorite flurry is mixing oreos and peanut butter cups! soo good! I'm pretty sure here they don't use Hydrox cookies like dairy mat. Also, chances are you might run into a Piston here... I believe it's a personal fave of Rip's! My beef with the place is the parking... too many people want ice cream- not enough parking! I can just hear people now saying, "there are people who don't have the luxury of even eating ice cream..." well, we do, and I want a better parking situation (please understand in no way am I poking fun of those less fortunate. seriously). read more

The Best! Choices include a very good non-fat yogurt. Make sure to try the blizzards, especially, the pumpkin pie and cupcake! Open from February thru late November. read more

Dairy Deluxe is a teensy notch above A-Ok. There is always a line here, so it must be good, right? Well, it is good. It's just not mind-blowing. It's still just soft serve. They do make some good mix-ins/flurries. My daughter got the cake batter flavor, which was yummy! I've been here maybe three or four times, and I honestly can't really remember what I've had. Except for the chocolate dip. And I only remember that because it was disappointing. Dairy Deluxe gets points for being open before almost any other seasonal ice cream place...I think it was January 25th or something of the like this year! Awesome! I would personally rather go to Custard and Co just south of this place on Woodward, but if it's closed, then Dairy Deluxe makes an acceptable substitute. read more

It beats Dairy Queen. Flavor of the day today was boisenberry and the vanilla has a buttery flavor. But the chocolate dip is pretty poor. They have huge selection of items including some old timer soda fountain classics. This is a neighborhood favorite and always a group of people hanging around and eating their ice cream. You don't find that at too many soft serve ice cream shops. Although right on Woodward, they are on the corner of a dead end street that dead ends at their back door so there is plenty of neighborhood feel in the back and side. read more

Dairy Deluxe - Look for the cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

Great custard, lots of flavors. It's a cute little walk up place. Unfortunately there's not much seating or parking. I really like the fried ice cream sundae. Cash only!! read more

I grew up in the area but it wasn't until AFTER I graduated from college that I learned about Dairy Deluxe. To be honest, I'm a little sad that I missed out on 21 years of deliciousness. Dairy Deluxe has a simple exterior but don't let it fool you... the treats here are tasty and despite its Birmingham location the prices are more than reasonable! I highly recommend the Turtle Sundae. They make the perfect combo of ice cream, caramel, chocolate, and pecans. I haven't found a turtle sundae that is better anywhere. read more

Great location. Great service that is always quick and makes the long lines go fast. Nothing super fancy or unique here, just a good solid spot to go grab ice cream after dinner in the summertime -- at least that's what my family used to always do. I recommend the Brown Cows (root beer float mixed up like a milkshake). My favorite thing on the menu by far!! I prefer Dairy Deluxe to the other ice cream shop nearby on Woodward (just south of 14Mile). read more

***Review for the soft serve ice cream I have to say, being from Southern California who's exploring the Midwest, this might be one of my favorite soft serve place to go! Everything about this place is just so classic, and classic is kind of hard to find in today's trendy food world. This location is outdoors and you order your goods through a window. They have this big soft serve in a cone neon sign that I think is so adorable. The staffs are friendly, and their service is fast. You can park your car in front and some in the back; kind of cramped but doable. Then again, I find Michigan's streets kind of weird. It's also CASH ONLY and inexpensive. On my visit, I ordered the Boysenberry soft serve with almond crunch toppings in a waffle cone. Out of this world combination! Boysenberry soft serve was so delicious; it was something I never really had before. It was not too rich or too sweet, and really had this good aroma on your taste buds. The texture of the soft serve itself was a thick, creamy consistency. Maybe it's the cold Michigan weather, but the ice cream just doesn't melt as fast. The almond crunch topping taste like candy nuts. It's sweet, super crunchy, and beyond addicting. Get it on everything and anything, it's killer even on plain vanilla! I am happy to find a place that has delicious soft serve ice cream that is well worth it anytime, in any type of bizarre weather! read more

This is my favorite ice cream place of all time. When I am in town I stop by for either a suicide slush cooler or a cherry dipped cone. It brings back one of the best childhood memories- of driving up Woodward on a summer evening with my dad in his MG. We'd stop at the hobby shop that used to be next door after getting ice cream. Even though I would be bored with the Hobby store in a matter of minutes, the ice cream induced release of endorphines left me singing Madonna to myself (this was in the 80s) while looking at toy trains. I love Dairy Deluxe so much I have a picture of the neon sign in my apartment for the mere reason when I look at it, it makes me happy. Definitely stop by for a flurry, ice cream sundae, cone, etc etc etc. They have it all. read more

Go to spot for an ice cream fix. The mix-in type cups are super good although I usually have a vanilla ice cream cone dipped in cherry shell. FAST and efficient servers. Go. Get your ice cream and sit along Woodward to watch the cars race down the street. read more

I worked down the street from here and a customer came in and I told them that their ice cream looked delicious. The family surprisingly came back when ice cream for me and told me it was their favorite place. I went there and tried their s'mores sundae my mind was blown it didn't taste artificial. I took my wife their and it's now the only ice shop we go to them we found out they close for the winter but it's fine it just makes us look forward to the summer even more. If you haven't try the s'mores & apple pie that's our favorites. If you're a car person as well you see some sweet rides while waiting for your treat! read more

Dairy Deluxe - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

I never really gave Dairy Deluxe a shot, which I now regret. I would always pass it by and say, "Maybe on another day". But holy cow, now I have a reason to not always pass it by. I've only been here twice, and it's one of my favorite soft serve ice cream places now. I got their chocolate shake, and it was really rich and creamy. I have also gotten a twist here, which is comparable to Erma's imho. Nice place on Woodward. read more

Dairy Deluxe - Chocolate shake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

Love this soft serve ship! Upside down Banana split is the best! I grew up in the area and every time I come home, I make sure to visit!

One of the best little yogurt/ice cream shops around town. Always come here for a long walk from our house. It's a great spot that is always busy, but worth the small line. My favorite is the strawberry yogurt, it's only available on select days. But, always a nice treat. A medium is very large here and more than enough for 1 person. I would recommend coming here. cash Only ! read more

I LOVE DAIRY DELUXE!!!!! My family and I make frequent trips from Livonia at least a few times a month. They are reasonable prices. Always a crowd but they have enough workers to handle us all. The serves...Dairy Deluxe never change PLEASE!!! I love going at night so that I can enjoy delicious ice cream or a milkshake while watching sport cars racing! read more

I had the turtle sundae and it was delicious! Just enough ice cream and toppings! I also love their root beef floats!

Hands down, best soft serve on Woodward! There is a lot of competition but this place is by far the most consistent with quality, taste, and good price. I've never had a bad experience here, and I come here almost once a week in the summertime! Try the sprinkle shake- it's a Dairy Deluxe classic and a personal favorite! read more

Okay don't even get me started on this place. The ice cream is great okay that's not the problem. I have two stories for you. I went there and ordered a flurry with chocolate ice cream and then the lab he gives me a flurry with the Nella ice cream and when I asked for a new one the lady says Yorty paid for this one you can buy yourself a chocolate for eight so that got me very mad I go back a couple weeks later with my friends and I pull out a top 20 and pay for my four dollars for it I get six dollars back my friends Aussie I gave her a 20 so I told him and then all my friends also tell her that we gave her 20 and she's like noI gave you me a 10. Elista say they have really bad service and they actually stole $10 for me I am mad considering I am a broke teenager. read more

Went to grab ice cream and Abigail took our order. She was really helpful and friendly and the service was fast and the sundays were amazing!! read more

This is our number one stop for frozen yogurt and flurries! Great place, fun for the family.

I once asked some employees if their secret ingredient is crack. I'm addicted to this place. I've gotten a number of items over the years, but my go-to favorite is the Oreo Flurry. Their sizes are pretty generous so even a small is enough for me to be satisfied, for a day or two. I probably go to Dairy Deluxe at least once or twice a week when it's open. I realize I have a problem. My children don't realize how often I go here after they are in bed. It's embarrassing. As far as staff goes, they are super friendly, quick, and I have never witnessed them make a mistake. The owner is also awesome and very nice. Only downside is that it's cash only, so now I just make a point to get cash out at least once a week so that I'm always ready to get my next fix. read more

We have been lifelong customers of Dairy Deluxe. So much so that they already have our order memorized whenever my dad walks up to the counter. :)) The kids and even the owner that all work there are super cordial, always happy to take our order, and most importantly--sell some of the BEST ice cream around. DD has the BEST brownie flurry around. Why? Because they use REAL, fresh brownies. Most other places uses brownie bits or more processed-tasting, small brownies. DD always uses freshly-baked, big brownies. Another winner in our household is their upside down banana split. SO GOOD. This place is ALWAYS busy. We get extremely sad when they close for their "off-season," but it makes it all the more sweet when they finally re-open after their winter break. Dairy Deluxe is hands down your one-stop shop for the best ice cream around. They have everything from shakes to cones; from flurries to sundaes. The list goes on and on. read more

Tasty snacks They They Incredible Taste Like ice cream and for the prices you get a taste of the ice cream We personally outstanding but watch for the lines read more

Great place for traditional soft serve ice cream! My favorite was the Orange Creamsicle!

It's a cool ice cream stand and the people that work there are always friendly. They have crunch coat topping which is really good, but their chocolate milkshakes use the world's cheapest tasting chocolate syrup. Is that Hershey's syrup. They probably should use something better. read more

Dairy deluxe is my favorite frozen yogurt spot in the metro Detroit area. They change their special flavors up a bit every week or so, but no need to even try them - it's all about their vanilla and chocolate swirl with toppings. They do an excellent job and the servings are large. Love the walk-up window to order, with 3 separate stations for when they are very busy. Not much seating outside which is a negative, but it's ok. They do not take credit card, so you need to have cash when going, which is another negative. Again, though, the ice cream is so delicious that it is easy to look past the negatives. read more

There was a time this summer where I was dropping by Dairy Deluxe almost every day - after the gym, no less. Their soft serve frozen yogurt is the most reassuring flavor and texture in the world. Plain vanilla or vanilla swirled with mango or blueberry or whatever special they have - out of this world. We would sit at the wooden fence at the parking lot as the sun set and have our cones and it was pure summer joy. read more

The ice cream at this place is hit or miss I go because it's walking distance from my house. But refrain from ordering anything here with a baked good in it i.e. "Fresh cookies" or bumpy cake they will be stale at best if not rock hard. But what really ruined it for me is after years of going to this place I got a Sundae that was soooo bad I could not eat it, so I made my first and only complaint and ask to have it replaced the owner told me they could not remake my sundae bc it didn't meet my expectations. Bottom line do not wast your money here there are some much beater options only blocks from here read more
