On the few occasions that I do go inside, folks here are courteous and helpful. However, one of my favorite reasons to stop here is because they carry the Ice Box ice cream bars. They are a little expensive but taste awesome. Not many convenience stores carry them but it seems that the EZ Mart chain does. They are a great reason to stop to fill up on gas... even if you don't really need to do so.

The place facility was clean. Well lit smelled great. The layout of the displays were aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I was greeted with a smile and welcomed right as I entered. The bathroom was clean tidy. The soap, toilet paper and hand paper towels filled. I really enjoyed the alcohol selection of both beer and wine. What I was most shocked about was judging them from the parking lot. So happy I went in and am writing this review. If you get a chance to stop for gas, snack and alcohol please do.

So on our way back, in this pandemic, I needed an out of the way gas station and found it at M55 on the West end of Cadillac: Thirsty's! I rushed in the door doing the pee per dance but I was overwhelmed by the smell of ice cream and waffle cones. I asked where the commode was and what ice cream they carried (Ashby's, Hudsonville?) and the man answered "Homemade!" I'm like homemade? After relieving myself in the clean bathroom, I sauntered toward the parlor area and WOW! So many flavors.....basics like chocolate and vanilla bean, butter pecan, but some interesting ones like Kat Nip, which is a malt flavored ice cream with bits of Kit Kat bars in it, Creme Brûlée which is my absolute favorite, and much more! The waffle cones are their own recipe and they curl up the ends so the cone won't dribble too early. The service was EPIC, the social distancing and mask wearing was spot on and I truly feel like this experience is what has been missing from my life for the past 56 years. I'm sold and will make the effort to drive the extra couple of miles here from downtown Cadillac when I go shopping. Can't recommend this enough! Oh, and they sell quarts of the ice cream to take home too!

Seems like a nice, well run place with all the basics of a convenience store. But frankly we dropped specifically because the carry a brand of ice cream bars called Icebox. It's a line of gourmet ice cream bars that we had in a restaurant in Traverse City. Best ice cream bars ever. Not sure if this store "appreciates" our business from this but it would be. Reason for us to make another stop in the future. Maybe they should advertise this product more?
