Today it's table top cornhole boards. The one game even I couldn't lose at! It goes beyond the cute little shop for ice cream and local stuff. They carry many made in Michigan products. They have a nostalgic look at pop AND great ice cream. It's also fun to see the latest find on their shelves. Depending on which doggie is working, you have several petting opportunities. It's also a wonderful experience to visit with Stacy or Kate. 12/24

The girl taking orders was so nice & we just made the 830 cutoff for hot food. The 2 corn dog combo was a good value w/ tots & drink. Added jalapeño bites which my wife loved. My corn dogs were perfect w/ nice browned batted. Tots were pretty crunchy too but they forgot my drink & didn't realize til we were too far away. Place was clean & in nice shape.

There was a newborn calf to pet and a full playground with things like a large tire to crawl over, a tiny house and porch, and a stationary tractor made out of wood. Also, there is a large table outside to eat your homemade ice cream or delicious homemade cheese. The owners were extremely welcoming and they proudly told us that the shop was celebrating its two-year anniversary. My wife and I wish them the best of luck and hope everyone reading this rushes here to get some goodies!

If I could give Ray's a sixth star, I would. Everything we ordered tasted better than we ever…read morethought we enjoyed it somewhere else. Seriously. I ordered a bowl of the Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo. It was better than what I've enjoyed at various traditional Cajun/Creole restaurants over the years. The difference? The flavors were spot on. The consistency of the soup was perfect -- not too thick, not too runny. The Beef & Cheddar Burger was a patty made from brisket and browned on both sides to a light crust and topped with cheddar cheese melted on top on a hamburger bun. I added a little of their BBQ sauce instead of my usual burger condiments. It was fantastic! I've heard Ray's is great, but I had no idea they were this great!

They offer an entirely separate vegan menu with multiple flavors to choose from, which was so appreciated. I sampled the chocolate vegan ice cream and it was absolutely incredible -- rich, creamy, and full of flavor. It genuinely tasted like premium ice cream, not just a substitute. If you're vegan and visiting the Traverse City area, this is definitely a must-stop dessert spot!

We had a rental house around the corner and it delighted me to have a little dessert and snack shop nearby. It's a walk up window specializing in soft serve treats like cones, sundaes, flurries, shakes and malts. The ice cream is smooth and dreamy! I had the turtle sundae and it was divine! My mom went for a soft serve with strawberries and we were impressed that it was chunks of fresh strawberries, not a fake syrup. My husband went with an orange float and it was made with local Northwoods soda. It was all so good! They also have a menu of savory snacks like soft pretzels, nachos, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, and sloppy joes. We kept talking about stopping by for a pretzel but it didn't work out so I can't speak much to their savory offerings, unfortunately. The stand itself is adjacent to the GT Butterfly House & Bug Zoo and, upon looking the place up online, I learned that Kettlewell's is the name of a groundbreaking moth researcher and that's the kind of nerdy trivia that I live for.
