We went to Moomers on our trip to northern Michigan. Moomers is an ice cream place located on a…read morefarm west of Traverse City. The ice cream was rich and was nice potions. We had Cherries Moobilee. It had plenty of cherries, chunks of brownie, with a chocolate swirl. We had a small, but it was very generous. There were a variety of favors. I wish I had room for more. There were a few tables indoors and outdoor seating at picnic tables on a deck overlooking the farm. The service was quick, and workers were helpful. You may have to seek it out, but it is worth the effort. I would definitely recommend Moomers.

Good because the ice cream was fantastic but bad because we went every single day and I've never eaten so much ice cream in such a short period of time . Moomers is a local homemade ice cream spot next to their dairy farm a little off the beaten path. Their website lists all of their flavors (and there are many) but when you arrive there's a daily menu of what is available. Every flavor I tried was delicious and chock full of the goodies they add in. They highlight their Cherries Moobilee which is a black cherry ice cream with chocolate swirl a black cherries. They also have some sorbet options if you're non dairy and some unique sundaes on their menu as well. When you enter the store you immediately smell the homemade waffle cones and you're likely to see a line, maybe even out the door. But their service is friendly and efficient and they do a great job of moving people through fast! There's a few booths indoors to sit at but the patio is a real gem on a summer day with plenty of picnic tables and a view of the farm next door. Definitely stop in and give them a try! It was a highlight of our vacation!

Hand dipped ice cream as well as soft serve are available, plus a couple dairy free options. They even offer a nice variety of savory foods too, like hot dogs (Louie's, iykyk), chili dogs, pulled pork, chicken salad, nachos, walking tacos, and more. Very friendly and very generous with all the soft serve items! Tables were clean with seating inside and out. While they are not Moomers, they also don't have ridiculous lines. I live that we have this option when we're jonesing for ice cream. Also, Boston Coolers and root beer floats on their menu! Definitely a local go to.

We are so sad to say that we've had a very poor experience at Buds. We are here camping with family…read moreand were looking forward to our breakfast at Bud's as we enjoyed them so much last year. We arrived at 9 am on a Sunday morning, only one other table in the restaurant waiting for their order. Our family members ordered their food, and then our order followed - all went in all by 9:10 am. 5 meals total. The place began to fill up, and soon it was packed. Our family received their food about 15 minutes after. Their breakfast was 2 of the 'Bud's Breakfast' - two eggs, ham + toast, they said it was not hot, seemed like it had been sitting for a bit. We thought our food would be close behind, a meat skillet, a buds breaky, and pancakes for my 3 year old twins...but unfortunately at 9:57 I finally went up there to ask how much longer it would be as our family had already finished their food. The staff said just a few minutes more. At 10:05 my husband walked up and could see all of our food sitting in the window, ready, without any efforts to begin bringing it out to us. We decided we'd rather leave than eat a cold breakfast almost an hour after placing our order. My husband requested a refund, which they first said "oh we can bring out your order" to which we insisted on just refunding us. The staff member refunding our order was understanding, and didn't try to push further, although we found everyone did just brush it off by saying 'we're really busy' and we were trying to be understanding; but we arrived before the rush. I respectfully expressed our frustrations, as my 3-year-olds began getting hangry (and honestly, I was feeling hangry too, mom-snack-stash to the rescue!) as this was not the way we hoped to end our family vacation. So we left with empty stomachs, major disappointment, and crying children. We loved the atmosphere so much, they have fun games on the back wall that kept us entertained. We were just hoping for a fun experience as a family, but it just didn't deliver. Truly a bummer!
