Doug's Delight is the primary storefront for both it and Matt Mo's Italian Beef and I swung by the…read moreother day to try both. From Doug's I went with their special--a blue moon soft serve served with strawberry soft served, dipped in sprinkles. It was so good! The flavor profiles of both weren't as strong as hard pack blue moon and strawberry ice creams but they were still very obviously blue moon and strawberry and tasted great together. The sprinkles were also a great texture. Just slightly crunchy but not hard. I'm very picky about my sprinkles and they've got good ones! Also, I ordered a small and it was HUGE. I couldn't finish it! Next time I'm definitely going to try a sundae or a "Dougie" but even with a soft serve you can't go wrong!

I'd only been here many years ago, when it was the "original" version. This is definitely a…read moredifferent thing. We didn't get any food this night, it was strictly a dessert stop. But the Italian Beef smelled amazing, I'm going to try it soon. Service was very friendly, and they have several nice picnic benches to eat at. The ice cream is top quality Hudsonville, and my cookie sandwich was out of this world. Great ice cream in a thick slice, and delicious chocolate chip cookies. Everyone else in the family also enjoyed what they had. I'll update this when I get around to an Italian Beef and some poutine.

Their vegan ice cream is out of this world ever since they changed their base from rice milk to coconut and pea protein. It's so creamy and the best vegan ice cream I ever had. Follow Treat Dreams on social media where they post their updated weekly flavors. Occasionally they have bizarre flavors like Lobster Bisque, Lemon extra Virgin Olive Oil and Bacon. Lol. They are most famous for their Kookie Monster flavor...a nostalgic blue color that's favorite of both kids and adults. You can find their food truck at various events in the area, food truck rallies at the Royal Oak Farmers Market and Urbanrest Brewing Co. Treat Dreams now shares its space with 4 other food vendors in Ferndale's first food hall called Pavilion Street Market. They also sell their ice cream by the pint and i'm kicking myself I didn't get any during my last visit to enjoy at home.

It's clearly well kept because there were no bees attracted to any of the trash cans. The store also smells very clean. Staff is swift and friendly. Our sundaes are soft serve based and enjoyable. Pricing acceptable as well. Long list of sundae options. And more. But if you're looking for hard scoops, they only have 3 flavors (Butter Pecan, Michigan Pot Hole, and Superman). Great spot! Would recommend.

They have plenty of additional toppings / flavors you can add to customize your ice cream. They also offer bubble waffles.

Will be back for sure to check out some other things you can make with the vegan soft serve.
