    DoorDashed this last night, too. I had a hankering for something cold and sweet. I did not know what is in the Michigan Pothole, but Google mentioned it being a chocolate lover's dream, so I ordered it. It's black-tar fudge swirl with chunks of chocolate. It's really, really good! I plan to rate the DoorDash driver a 0 once I checkout and get to the airport. The DoorDash driver did not deliver this to my room (it's on the first floor near the lobby), instead it was delivered at the front lobby without any word to front desk. Horrible! But delicious ice cream! What a treat after a long week!

    A great local ice cream spot! We stopped in late afternoon on a weekday, there was a small line but it moved quickly. We were able to try some samples and I got a small (2 scoops) with lavender honey and Mackinaw Island fudge. It was delicious! My friend got a sundae and that looked good too. I love how many Michigan based flavors they have. The staff were friendly, helpful, and quick. There's a few indoor seating spots. The prices were also very reasonable for A2. Highly recommend!

    Michigan Creamery is serving up homemade ice cream and located right across from U of M. You can see lots of local shops and stores- including some really cool antique shops You can choose from all different types of rotating flavors. Their lavender honey was so creamy with just the right touch of flavor to it. If you like citrusy flavors, the orange sorbet would be a great choice too! Unfortunately they didn't have the key lime flavor we were looking for but that just gives us another excuse to be back The workers were all very friendly and there was plenty of indoor seating. The walls had lots of scribbles and signatures, definitely giving that college town vibe. Would be a great place to hang out around campus!

    We finished the seoul and wanted something sweet so came here Ice cream: Creamy and flavor is quite on point. Not too sweet, subtle flavor, nothing over power. Scoop size pretty good My husband and I really like the texture of it. It's on a thicker side, not quickly melting, it's more tightly stick together?! But we really like it. We were more surprised that it tastes better than some other hyped stores around Ann Arbor. We got Lavender honey and sea salt turtle. I personally loved anything with Lavender and hates fake Lavender taste, but this tastes quite good! I highly recommend! So far my top fav with Lavender flavors are from salt and straw and a specific lavender farm in California. My husband likes sea salt turtle, he said it's not like other places where the saltines is emphasized, but it is subtle and balanced. Service: the worker was a bit tired but fulfilled all our requests of trying 6 different flavors The ambience is casual andike a mom and pop store vibe, nothing fancy or cool, just an ice cream shop shop style, nothing special. I would recommend this as a more quiet date stop if you just want to casually know someone and nothing serious. Extra: We didn't try, but they have a free sprinkle section! Feel free to try

    Super long line for some ice cream. There are a lot of unique flavors but it's comparable to a less creamy version of Kilwin's.

    Love the variety and uniqueness in flavors! The lavender honey was unexpectedly really good, very subtle lavender taste.

    Even an Arctic current barreling through Ann Arbor would never stop a true Michigander from having a scoop of good ice cream. Well, I'm not a true Michigander. I'm just a Michigander by marriage as Jamie W. is true blue, but I have my own dairy needs, too. Right on the edge of campus is this old-school ice cream parlor with handmade chocolates for sale as well as scoops of decadent creaminess. It's the type of place that serves frozen yogurt out of cardboard containers, not oozing out of a spigot at the discretion of my handle prowess. That's what Jamie and I went for, no sugar added be damned. The small cups were only $3.25 each. Jamie went for straight-ahead Chocolate (photo: http://bit.ly/2KNsVFB), while I chose the Blueberry Vanilla since swirls flatter me (photo: http://bit.ly/2QNJEMR). Satisfying indeed. Go Blue! FROYO - 4 stars...a richer froyo but who's complaining? AMBIANCE - 3 stars...old-timey but in a good way SERVICE - 2.5 stars...a bit harried for Wolverines TOTAL - 4 stars...Go Blue!

    This place is my go to ice cream shop when I visit Ann Arbor! Yesterday we were there during the Art Fair. The store was well staffed with attentive and extremely friendly workers. I got the Michigan pothole ice cream, which was phenomenal! You can't go wrong with stopping in at Michigan Creamery when you're in downtown Ann Arbor!

    I had high expectations for Michigan Creamery after seeing raving reviews and yes, the ice cream was very good. I got the strawberry cheesecake flavor and it was rich and very yummy, but the service was just not up-to-par with previous reviews I read. Two young women stood around chatting instead of helping customers, two of which made up a very cute older couple who seemed to be back in Ann Arbor for the big Michigan-Wisconsin football game. They were on their phones and had a few "oh, I should ask this customer if they want something" epiphanies and then they went back to socializing. Portion-wise, I got the junior size and it was very large! Good bang for your buck there. Also, on a side note, the bathroom is in the back and was not very clean.

    Formerly Stucci's, Michigan Creamery is a great treat if you're downtown in Ann Arbor. Not sure why the name changed but the ice cream is still just as tasty and reliable as Stucci's was for all those years. They're open later (to 11) on weekends, which makes it a great post dinner/before a late movie dessert, which is exactly what my husband and I did last weekend. Came in around 9pm after a meal down the street and we each got a small bite of something sweet before hitting a flick at the State theatre. It was perfect! Hand dipped ice cream is the standard here but they do have soft serve if you would prefer. I was into the idea of soft serve so I ordered the peanut butter cup sundae in a mini size. It's vanilla soft serve topped with hot fudge, peanut butter sauce, and a Reese's peanut butter cup. When she handed me my sundae I was kind of disappointed because the mini was WAY more mini that I had anticipated, but the fudge and peanut butter were so rich that it was actually the perfect amount. If you want a larger serving though, go for the large. My husband, also feeling a peanut butter and chocolate combo, got a small scoop of the sundae basically in hand dipped form. He was also really into it. It was fairly crowded for a Saturday night but the employees were with it and kept the line moving quickly. Turn over is pretty fast here so we had no trouble finding a seat, although it was standing room only when we left.

The main thing Drip House has going for it is that it is effectively the only coffee spot to sit and study or meet someone right by the stadium (where a bunch of us live and/or work). It is also open into the early evening when a lot of other coffee spots aren't. And we do love an outside seating option. The service has always been just fine and it's a pretty cute spot (not to sound ridiculously nit-picky but while we're here--someone might wanna sheer some of the many dead leaves off the beautiful plant inside though). Also, the banana oat latte they had as a special a couple months ago was delicious. So yummy. Some things I don't love about Drip House: the blue chairs. So uncomfortable. It is expensive and, dare I say, overpriced. The first time I got my $14 piece of ricotta toast, it was delicious. And I figured, fine. It's $14 for a piece of bread with a little cheese and jam but it's so yummy, I'll splurge every once in a while and go with it. Plus, I can't eat tree nuts, so it is one of the few options for me. However, the second time I got it, it was most definitely not worth it. The "whipped" ricotta was just a sad, thin wet layer and there was practically no jam. I get it. It's expensive out here. We're living in the shadows of the avocado toast economy where espresso drinks cost minimum $7 and you effectively can't buy anything for less than $4. But just because you feel like you *can* doesn't mean you *should.* Paying $14 for a piece of bread.... Come on. It's insulting. It feels exploitative. Will i be going back? Yes, because of the proximity and sometimes a girl needs to go for a cute little walk to get a coffee--just to feel something. Would I if there was a competing coffee shop nearby? That remains to be seen. Also the size of the "large" iced drink. Come on guys.

Most recently I came here for a meeting, ordering a vanilla latte and a sweet potato hand pie to nibble on since I hadn't eaten yet. The description of the latter sounded so good, sweet potatoes with black beans and a few other veggies, wrapped up in flaky pie dough. The filling, however, was mostly pureed, giving it more of a baby food consistency which I didn't love. The flavor was good though but I couldn't get over the mushy texture. The black beans weren't pureed in but were few and far between (I think I maybe counted 2 or 3?). In addition to my hand pie I also ordered a piece of the billionaire's shortbread but they didn't ring it up/prepare it. By the time I realized it (I had to wait for my hand pie to be heated up) it was only a few minutes before close so I didn't bother going back up to the counter to reorder. IDK if they were just in a hurry to close or genuinely didn't hear my order but it was a bummer since it did look great. The vanilla latte, however, was quite good. And for a coffee shop that's most important. And what they lacked in substantial food options they did make up for in fun, seasonal drink specials and a few sweet treats like cookies and the aforementioned shortbread. The space is very cute, as well, and made for a really comfortable meeting location. So overall I did like my visit here. I just won't be rushing back here if I'm feeling peckish. But for a caffeinated pick me up and a nice place to meet or chill, this definitely fits the bill.
