Went for a kiddos birthday and forgot to snap a photo. Safe to say this kiddo enjoyed it! For me, prices were slightly higher than Grand Haven, but service was good (though there was a bit of a line, it was hot!!) We sat outside in one of the patio tables which was under an awning and provided shade. It looked like there was seating out back too, but unsure what it looked like as we stayed in the front. I was impressed with the number of Gluten Free options they offered. The ice cream was delicious, and I do not regret the stop. read more

Frosty Boy - Grand Rapids - Kids Small Vanilla Cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

We have been regular customers here. But today's experience was different in a bad way. After ordering the vegan vanilla soft serve dipped in chocolate it was disappointing & lacking flavor. A plain glass of water would have tasted the same. So it definitely was not worth the stop or $. Service was decent with a good location and some tables including around back. No restrooms noted since it is simply a couple walk up windows. read more

Always a great option for ice cream! It's not my favorite spot in town, but most of my friends are obsessed with it so it's the most often suggested place due to their vegan soft-serve and convenient location. Since I'm simple and usually get a standard twist cone with sprinkles, I'm easy to please. For me, the soft serve has been somewhat inconsistent; sometimes it's great and sometimes its really soft and has melted quickly which made it a race to eat! I've also had some random texture issues with some flurries. One time my wife had the drumstick flurry and I don't know what happened, but the texture became super grainy and almost like the ice cream was curdling/separating. That for sure felt like a one-off, but is now always in my mind and makes me far less likely to get a flurry. There is almost always a line in the evening and on weekends, but it does tend to more quickly. It's a time to chit chat and gives you plenty of time to check out the extensive menu. I love that it's dog friendly so pals can bring their babes or I get to see other people's dogs! They don't have a ton of seating, but it's not generally presented as an issue. I appreciate that the seating is behind the building and provides some shade for hot summer days, but wish it wasn't right next to the dumpster. read more

One of my favorite ice cream spots in Grand Rapids. They are consistent and pretty quick to get orders out the window. They usually have a line but it really never takes long. Frosty Boy has so many options for different sundaes, slushies, flurries etc. 9 times out of 10 I'm getting some sort of flurry. Most recently I had a cookie dough flurry and added m&ms. Just so good and they put the perfect amount of toppings in it. Parking can be kinda chaotic! The parking lot is small but there's residential street parking nearby. They also have some picnic type tables at the front of back of the building to sit and enjoy your dessert. read more

Lemon soft serve with fruity pebbles is my go to. Employees are always kind. It worth the wait! read more

frosty boy is always our spring/summer obsession. the vegan options are plentiful and delicious. i love that there is a rotating vegan flavor to keep it exciting. there are also fun vegan mix-ins that rotate in addition to the ones they have all summer. my two favorite flurries are the vegan strawberry shortcake flurry and a vegan twix flurry. they also have vegan whip cream that can be added to any treat. the small is a perfect size for my partner and i to share. sometimes i get a cone on the side and load some of our flurry into it with still plenty left in the cup. the lines are usually long but worth it! there are two tables up front and additional seating in the back. read more

Frosty boy is my go to ice cream place throughout the summer. The workers there are nice; and know how to make a meannnnn flurry, sundae, shake, you name it! Delicious and creamy ice cream, every time. Sometimes (usually) the line is very long, but that just shows that it's a quality place. read more

Duh, everyone knows that Frosty Boy is the best if you want some yummy ice cream. They have soft serve, vegan options, flavorburst, flurries, shakes, slushies, hard serve, sundaes, etc etc. My treat of the summer has been black cherry flavorburst with chocolate dip and sprinkles. YUM! Although lines are often very long during the warm months, they're quick and it's worth it. This is a GR landmark for sure. read more

Prices were reasonable and they have a decent variety. I do like that they had two dye-free slushee options, but the one I got (blue raspberry) was soo thick and did not taste good. My husband got a regular blue raspberry slushee and his was good (and he agreed mine tasted odd--and I've had dye-free slushees before other places so not sure why this one tasted so weird). We also got a flurry which was decently sized for a small and was quite good. Parking was good as we found a spot in their parking lot easily. read more

Frosty Boy is one of my favorite places in GR and it makes it even better when it's within 5 minutes walk from your house! I am a super basic person and love how reasonably priced it is. The staff are always so friendly and there's a decent amount of parking around for those who need it. There's a few picnic tables outside as well and you can sit to enjoy or walk around the nearby parks. I always order a kid's chocolate/vanilla twist in a cone as it's the perfect dessert size! I never feel judged for ordering a "kiddie" size and they're always very prompt. The lines are long but moves quickly and I am so happy to see this place survive so well after many years. The menu is aggressive so you'll have to really look at what you want, or if you're basic like me, there's always something for everyone. Even gluten free, vegan, dairy free, and even doggos! read more

Allergy aware staff and business in general. This place is a classic! The lemon soft serve is unlike any other and that's a hill I'll die on! They also have a "nut free" blender for those of us who don't like every ingredient! Sweet! Keep rocking Frosty Boy! read more

For sure one of the BEST ice cream shops in the whole city. Their menu is enormous, and so are the lines. But it is worth it. They have a very large selection of items that are gluten free, dairy free, vegan, whatever you are in need of. They always have special monthly flavors. The prices are what you would expect, and the customer service is good. Of course, it takes a while to get to the window, and again to get what you ordered because it is a popular place. But it is clear that they are doing their best. I have yet to be disappointed by this place. read more

So we've been living here in GR for decades. Have passed by frosty boys a million times and it was not until this summer that we found out that they have GF, vegan options. May I just say it is so great! I love the Oreo one with either chocolate and vanilla. That one has been my favorite to order. Last time we ordered from the fall menu, we tried the pumpkin pie one and it was delicious :D Today while driving I saw the See you in Spring! sign and was glad that we got to enjoy it so much this year. Can't wait until next year! read more

As someone who is dairy free, this place is amazing! The fact that they offer dairy free soft serve means that I can get a flurry or a sundae. Everything on their menu is clearly marked with any allergens, and the staff is trained really well on it too. The line moves quickly, and they have shaded tables in the back. Highly recommend! read more

Definitely worth the wait, and it's quite likely you're going to wait as this is one of the two most popular ice cream places in Grand Rapids. The staff, and really everyone in line, couldn't be friendlier. Last night, to cap off our day in GR, this just had such a great vibe, nice and positive, good line banter, and, of course, puppies abound! The ice cream, probably the reason you're reading this, lives up to the vibe, with almost too many options to choose from. I kept it simple with a soft-serve swirl cone, which at $3.75 for a large was about as good as it gets. The ice cream was silky smooth and flavorful, and the sprinkles stayed surprisingly crunchy, I was very happy (as you can see). My wife had a small cup of one of the specialty flavors, the Michigan Pot Hole I believe it was called. It was good, but not exactly bursting with flavor like I may have expected. Still, a very good experience and about as much bang for the buck as you'll find! read more

I hit this place up a few times a week. If you can get there when the line is small, you're lucky. If not, oh well. It's ice cream! The prices did go up this season, which I'm sure has nothing to do with our wonderful administration's economic policies.... read more

I had a genuinely disappointing experience here and tried to give the business an opportunity to respond privately. Unfortunately, instead of addressing my concerns, they doubled down, denied my experience, and deleted my public comments. When I reposted, they accused me of harassment. I ordered a chocolate shake made with chocolate hard serve. I was told they've never made shakes with hard serve... which simply isn't true, as I've ordered it before and it was made that way in the past. I said as much and they said I couldn't have had it there. But I did. Last time was less than a month ago and whoever made it, did it right. I decided to settle for a chocolate shake with chocolate soft serve. I didn't really want to leave empty handed in spite of my upset and after waiting in the long line. What I received was overloaded with syrup to the point of being inedible--it was so overpowering I threw it away after one sip. This isn't about a single bad shake. It's about being told I was mistaken when I know I wasn't, and then being silenced for speaking up. I won't be returning, and I hope this business reflects on how they handle feedback in the future. I've been a neighborhood regular for years, but after today, I won't be coming back. Two stars only because I have some decent memories of actually getting a good shake here in the past. read more

I mean you can tell by our happy faces how good the ice creams were. So many vegan options ....and it's the first time a vegan ice cream was just so creamy. I would have never imagined I can ever find vegan banana split but they had one...made my day. Thank you frosty boy for thinking of read more

Frosty Boy! A place where many people can enjoy a local ice cream stop! I have lived in GR for many years and always saw a huge crowd of people just lining up to get delicious treats during the summer time. Didn't really think to look and see if they have any allergy free options because usually seasonal ice cream shops don't-- until someone told my Mom that they had options for gluten and dairy free options! Now! All my family members both regular ice cream eaters and allergy free ice cream eaters look forward to stopping by Frosty Boy every year. And the ambiance is so friendly and reminds you of your childhood. The flavors are amazing and creative and you feel the love in every bite so stop by and support your local ice cream shop you never know if you'll love it till you try! :) read more

What a cutie lil retro but vegan friendly place! Great options for all from doggie bowls to throwback ice cream truck favs to flurries, splits, soft serve and hard scoop! I was shook. The vegan soft serve is very good - I can't tell what the base is (coconut, banana, etc.) which is a plus! Over the moon to find somewhere so fun to power us through a road trip :) read more

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 5 DRINK QUALITY: N/A ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 3 NOISE LEVEL: N/A MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.6 MUST GO! I am always craving ice cream and most of the time I find myself asking where should I go? Well let me explain why I am writing a review for this place over all the others that I tend to go. The most important reason is that they offer dog sundaes. If you own a truck, dogs and have a craving then you definitely want to consider this place. Second, they are open late. Third, they have great reviews. Fourth, they have a spacious parking lot for your truck. Just pop open your tail bed and you have a nice sitting spot after getting your ice cream and you can leash your dogs in the bed with you. After arriving, we immediately noticed that there was so many people there. Wonderful sign of a good product or a cheap product. That said, it also means that you can potentially sit in line for quite a while. We decided to risk it. About 15 people ahead of us and it took us less than 5 mins to get to window and order. Once we got to the window, the women taking orders were so nice and seemed to really enjoy working there. After ordering we had our ice cream and were sitting on the tail of my truck within 2 mins. Now we get to determine if it's good ice cream or cheap ice cream. You guessed it! The ice cream was delicious. I ordered the hot fudge brownie sundae. The brownies weren't stale, the fudge was delicious. The ice cream tasted like a quality ice cream. The dog sundaes were perfect. Clearly the dogs had zero complaints. Precursor before going. This is not a gourmet ice cream shop who creates masterpieces. This is a community, quality, corner ice cream shop who has a very extensive list from sundaes, to smoothies. They offer vegan and gluten free options as well. Fun, family, and dog friendly. read more

Love the ice cream. Whenever I'm on this side of town and have time to stop at Frosty Boy, I do! If the weather is nice- be prepared to wait; wait to order, and then wait for your order. Easily a hour wait. Worth it every time! I wish they were open later. read more

To put it simply, I have spent my last dollar until payday on Frosty Boy and I'd do it again. I can't wait for fall each year for their pumpkin pie flurry. It's worth the wait when the line is an hour long and it's face-meltingly hot out. Anything you want, they have (including BANGING vegan and gluten free options). It's popular for a reason, make sure you don't miss out! read more

Just look at the joy on my face in the picture I took here. That should show you why I also call myself a Frosty Boy. First off, there were almost too many options at this ice cream shack. What do I get? One of 30 or so creations? Or one of 30 or so shakes? Maybe hard scoop? Soft serve? Lemon soft serve? Ahhhh! I went with the simple pleasure of Post's fruity pebbles on a soft serve cone. I like fruity pebbles on my donuts and my ice cream. Frosty Boy has an efficient system of a order line and a pickup line. Things went relatively quickly on a Saturday night. We sat behind the store on a picnic table. A grand spot in Grand Rapids. read more

Have come here 3 times, the draw initially being the dog sundaes which are just enough ice cream for your dog in a mini waffle bowl with a biscuit. So cute! Once we came at 8 pm and they were mysteriously closed on a summer evening and we were very sad. This time I wanted to highlight that headed into fall I LOVED the fall seasonal menus apple pie shake with mixed in apples, cinnamon, and graham chunks with a huge pile of whipped creme on top. Perfect seasonal flavor!! This very busy mom and pop ice cream shop always has something good going on and with their enormous menu catering to vegans etc, you can find something for you every single time. read more

This is a really low key ice cream joint that serves some great soft serve for a very reasonable price. As other reviewers mention, this is a walk up family joint with some benches for seating and a very sunny summer at the pool type of vibe. Another reviewer recommended the lemon soft serve and I hesitantly ordered the lemon cake sundae. This sundae was flaming! It had moist chunks of lemon cake with an awesome lemon soft serve ice cream that I'll be craving until my next visit. The wait was a bit long but expected on a hot holiday weekend, but the service was phenomenal. If you're in the mood for some casual ice cream on your way home from work or from the beach, this is your spot! read more

The line out the parking lot should tell you something.. THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE. Their menu is HUGE and has something for everyone's ice cream needs. I opted for the Lemon Cheesecake Sundae and added nuts (I probably won't next time, I'd rather add extra cheesecake bites). The lemon flavor is perfect. Not to strong and tastes very natural. The cheesecake bites were moist. I'd get any sundae that has them. The Ice cream was thick and creamy, almost like a custard. Plenty of seating and parking. The long line was 100% worth it. read more

Today was my first time, I waited in line about 10 minutes and it was well worth it. I had the simplest most basic item they could make, a large vanilla shake. It cost around $5 something with tip. It was very tasty. Couldn't even finish it I was all shook up and shaked out. A lady in-front of me ordered a banana split, it looked mind blowing good. Great place great taste. Most definitely come back read more

Best ice cream in town but they always close early. Make sure you're there at least 15 minutes before closing if you want ice cream. They hand the person at the end of the line a sign and make them turn away customers. Culver's is the only option for ice cream after 8:45 in this town read more
