    Hot fudge sundae with cookie dough added and a mix in with cookie dough and mint
    Nicole N.

    The ice cream is good here and it's a great spot to watch cars cruise Woodward! They only take cash and the prices are a little high but that seems to be the trend at all of the ice cream places anymore (high prices). There is nothing that makes this place standout to me but it's good if you want some basic ice cream!

    I absolutely love this spot, probably my favorite ice cream spot on woodward out of all of them. Loveeeeee the variety and just how many options there are! That being said we usually just opt for the classic twist in a cone, but have tried some of their custom soft serve flavors like mango and lovedddd! My only reason for not giving 5 stars is simply due to the issue with the hours! We personally have never ran into the issue of coming in once they've decided the final customer, but have watched for years as it's happened to others. I totally understand your hours are your hours, but sometimes the staff can be very rude to customers as they're walking up - especially once the weather warms up they haven't started their summer hours! Then there's the issue of not updating their hours as well, we just assume they close at 9 (don't bother to remember if it's 9 or 10, and when that changes), but it's disheartening to see them turn away those first few groups when they're within 30 seconds of the store closing. I just saw that they have a FB page where they occasionally update, but updating it on google would help too! And again totally get it, if you let some in you have to let them all in, but maybe just wait until 9:01-2 before putting one of the staff members in line as the final guest, and be a little softer with the delivery. People are coming in to have a good time, overall happy experience (it's ice-cream!) and it's upsetting to see them so sad when they get turned away.

    My fiancé and I absolutely love this little ice cream spot. We drive a decent way to get over here and we'll never miss them for a sweet treat when they're open. The people who work here are very efficient, I've never had an issue. The portions are perfect, exactly what you ask for & it tastes amazing every time. So glad we found it. There are benches to sit on, you don't ever go inside but it's right by the shopping area so there's a lot to do while you have your scoop.

    We used to come here when I was growing up in the 1980s. Took my kids here, so glad they are still around and the soft serve is as good as I remember it. Lots of flavors and reasonable prices.

    Yummy! Been meaning to go here all summer! I got the banana ice cream dipped in chocolate and my fiancé got tuitti fruiti! Delightful treat on a summer day.

    Dairy mat has been around for agesssss! They have a big menu .. I feel like anything you could think of they will do.. they even have take home pints. I like the fact that they have soft serve orange creamsicle.. so.. it would be nice if they took credit or debit!

    5.50 for two half full small yogurts plus snotty attitude from some high school girl. Makes me homesick for some Doozies in Mt. Pleasant.

    We really liked this place. I love the selection of soft serve. Plenty of choices. REMEMBER TO BRING CASH THOUGH! They don't take credit.

There will likely be a line down the sidewalk. It does move along pretty quickly. They have all of your traditional flavors (ie mint chip) and lots of fun ones too (ie. Salted caramel mocha chip). The special seasonal flavors seem to sell out earlier. They also have MLB baseball cap sundaes, for us baseball fans.

    Ray's Ice Cream was a pleasant surprise!…read more Customer Service: great. The scooper was the nicest person I've ever met across the counter anywhere. Value: under $5 for two flavors and a topping?! Nowadays, that's practically unheard of. Flavor: the lemon sorbet was very refreshing! Seemed there was also lemon rind init? It's a strong, but not overwhelming, lemon flavor. The DF Black Cherry was a bit overpowered by the lemon sorbet, but I think on its own it's nice enough. I asked about the Dark chocolate fudge, that is listed on the menu board. The scoop girl was not sure, looked around a bit. When I sat at the counter to enjoy the ice cream, I noticed an empty metal warming vat for it. Maybe they had dark choc fudge at one time? It was fairly busy for a random Tuesday evening in late summer. If you are looking for DF options that don't leave you sad, Ray's is a good choice!

    GET THE CATERING…read more bakehouse 46 catered my September wedding and I could not have been more pleased. Starting off with the tasting. Sam made the process so enjoyable and easy. We tasted like every single cupcake in the place along with the donuts. We ended up getting a lemon lust cake, a variety of cupcakes, donuts, and brownies! We also added on apple cider. They even whipped up our all time favorite raspberry latte cupcake for us even though it was not on their menu at the moment! The day of the wedding was so smooth!!! The girl who came to set up was so professional and quick! The set up was beautiful and I could not have been more happy. The sweets were an absolute HIT at my wedding and I loved my cake. Bakehouse 46 was quite possibly my favorite wedding vendor! Thank you for making my day that much sweeter

Despite the place being empty on Sunday morning, the staff still made so many mistakes with our order it was ridiculous. There is no cream/sugar/stirs station so every time you need something you have to ask. The coffee was good, so were the cider donuts, but that was it. The avocado toast has almost zero avocado, I couldn't taste it at all. The breakfast sandwich was made on a stale and reheated bagel from the bag. We were not impressed at all, and won't be back. It also costed is $30 for a very poor breakfast experience.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated, with ample photo opportunities. Our attentive and patient server was always ready to answer any questions we had. Our drinks arrived promptly, and we started with mimosas, which were okay but a bit pricey. I should have opted for the delicious lemon drop instead. After scanning the restaurant for other patrons' food, we decided to order veggie omelets, steak tacos, burgers, and a breakfast special. The table across from us had ordered a plate of cinnamon roll pancakes, which looked absolutely divine. It was an incredibly generous portion, but unfortunately, no one else wanted to share. Maybe next time. We had a slight wait for our food, but it was absolutely worth it. Everything was piping hot and incredibly delicious. I couldn't resist ordering the signature burger special from TikTok, which came with garlic truffle fries and a glass of wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and each other's company. I highly recommend this place, and they have a great happy hour during the week.
