Icecream is so yummy and creamy! Their menu is diverse and full of such a variety! Their staff is so friendly, they keep busy! And are always lined up but that's because it's an experience and so much worth the visit. The location is beautiful little park in the backyard and nice pretty look inside the creamery. Affordable for the quality and size! Love Movie Theater with a hint of popcorn flavor and the coconut almond chip - tasted just like a fully loaded almond joy) read more

My family and I love this place. It's a go to for ice cream. Their portions are crazy huge so I always get the kid size cup. Their ice cream have been consistent and amazing. I usually go for the fruit cream based ones. They have a wide variety and changes with the season. The staff is quick and patient. There is an outdoor area and indoor area. The outdoor area is huge, including the patio, the gazebo, and a huge hard. There's also a bike path in the back. Due to crowds, when you arrive, you have to go to the back instead of the front. (Folks who can't walk well can go though the front). Coming from the back will have you be in the correct line route. They also have small water cup machines. Parking is free out front and the lots next to it if you can't find parking. read more

Stopped by on a rainy cold summer afternoon and place was doing good business with locals. Very cottage like" with great indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoors was a private yard with playground equipment and a notable carved tree sculpture. It looks like it would be quite shady and pleasant on a sunny day. There was a nice selection of ice cream, including classics. Several multicolored flavors sure to please children. The ice cream was reasonably priced, and claimed to be "homemade@. I am not sure if this is local or the name of a brand. Great taste and superb atmosphere earns this place a high ranking. read more

Came here for dessert while visiting my daughter at Northwood University. This a perfect walk from the school. Not sure what flavor to get, they had several peanut butter flavors, I ordered a large which got me 4 scoops for $5.95. And a large it was. The girl who served us was professional and efficient, she was there by herself. Most of their ice cream appeared to be homemade. When my daughter told me it was homemade, I thought they made their own. But it all was so good! Everyone in our party liked it. A great place fir a scoop, out back was really nice. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Really rude two girls in braids and lipstick, had awful customer service. It's a shame because the ice cream is really good, but to be treated with glares, eye rolls, & snappy responses is just unacceptable. read more

I had raspberry cheesecake with Oreos and my friend had Carmel football Joe. There is a water bowl and they sell pup cups but there's no dogs allowed? So confusing. The girls seemed like they were not happy to be working. I live out of town and my friend was so excited to show me her favorite place. I was disappointed. read more

The Cottage Creamery - a person holding a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Midland, Michigan

Just down the street from our Airbnb and what a find! I have never experienced a greater setting to sit and enjoy your ice cream. First of all the salted caramel ice cream was amazing! Then the back yard was a gorgeous layout of tables and chairs under a canopy of trees and a grape arbor. Thank you C-C for a most beautiful experience! read more

What a great little ice cream store. So many selections of hand scooped ice cream and chocolate, vanilla, and twist soft serve. The outdoor space is great for kids with access to the rail trail. Also, the portion sizes are big and the prices are reasonable. read more

Amazing ice cream and fun outdoor space to enjoy! Within walking distance to help walk off the calories! Lol!

The coolest ice cream place. Indoor is retro vintage cool. Outdoor is epic for groups and just hanging out. Ice Cream is great and tons of choices read more

Great ice cream, lovely place with ample outdoor seating. Smells delicious inside. We ordered a small ice cream and pb Oreo milkshake. The milkshake was wow. They use a high quality peanut butter sauce that is super tasty. read more

Great service and atmosphere........and wonderful ice cream! A favorite spot to "chill" and enjoy with friends.

Their ice cream is amazing! Not too sweet but not too dull. But they have great selections for the kiddos as well! The staff is very sweet as well! read more

The cutest ice cream place ever! I'm so impressed. They've thought of everything. There's indoor seating and the cutest large outdoor area, just off the bike trail and next to two breweries. You'll be impressed. I sure was! We don't live anywhere near it but found it on Yelp heading home from up North. I'm so glad we happened upon it. We'll certainly stop again. read more

Wow. What a great place to eat and chill with family and friends. Ice cream was top notch and the backyard is about as cool as it gets. If I wasn't trying to watch my figure, I'd be here every week. read more

Nothing crazy good. Just a normal ice cream joint. Memorial Day 2019. Selections limited, guess I am spoiled by other places in town. Not bad. Just average. There really isn't any bad ICE CREAM is there???? read more

My boyfriend and I love the ice cream fro here. I usually get an ice cram flavor and he gets a soft serve cone. They also have reasonably priced pup cups for our dogs and they love it. Their outside area is fantastic. It's a great atmosphere and we love that it's next to the brewery and along he rail trail. The indoor area is ok but when they are busy it feels cramped and uncomfortable. We love that they are open late too. However, if you come in after 9, the staff sometimes appear annoyed and don't always make the cones well. When we were there last night they made our cones impossible to eat without making a huge mess in the car. But overall it's a great place with great ice cream! I will definitely recommend this place to everyone! read more

I'm new to Midland and what I've come to learn is the saying, "it's good for Midland." This means that the place wouldn't kick it in a major city, but is tolerable in a small town. Well, The Cottage Creamery is by far not only the best ice cream parlor in Midland, but would give any major city establishment a run for their money! I've only had the ice cream there, which you can definitely taste is homemade, but the place also offers soft service flavors and food such as hot dogs. I can't speak for the food there, but my favorite ice cream flavors are cookie dough and s'mores. Their cookie dough ice cream uses sugar cookie dough instead of chocolate chip cookie dough. An overall favorite by the locals (yes I feel like I need to speak for them too because yelp reviews in this town are rare) is the coconut almond swiss ice cream. That's their top seller. The portions are very nice; a small is 2 scoops! read more

I've been here a few times, but it wasn't until a recent visit that I noticed the quality of the ice cream, specifically the S'mores flavor. If you like S'mores ice cream, you need to put the Creamery into your rotation because it's the been I've had, and I've had a LOT of S'mores. Like most ice cream spots, the sizes are a bit on the plus-side, but hey, you chose to get ice cream. You can come here from a bike ride (on the Rail Trail), or just come to chill in the backyard where there's a fire pit and a gazebo. Yes, a gazebo. read more

Wonderful, expansive menu! The entire staff is friendly and everyone had smiles even with the line out the door. They have seating out back but it looked kind of crowded so we took our sundaes to go. There was inside seating but it was a little too cool inside to eat ice cream. I would definitely recommend stopping here for a treat while in the Midland area....I'm glad we live nearby so we'll be walking here more :) UPDATE: stopped in Wednesday evening (May 2018) with the line out the door! They moved us pretty quickly and they have A LOT of ice cream choices! Still friendly staff but parking is a little congested but since the ice cream is so good be sure to attempt it! read more

My daughter and I stopped into this ice cream shop after visiting my dad in Midland. We saw the excellent reviews on Yelp and, as a bonus, it was on our way home. There was only one parking spot open, which seemed like a sign! The shop is a cute little cottage that is nicely decorated both inside and out. The ice cream was very good! Swiss chocolate almond is my favorite and theirs is among the best. The back yard has a lovely patio, grassy picnic area and plenty of seating. We will definitely stop in again the next time we're in Midland! read more

A great stop in midland, but next to no dairy free options. I would love to see almond milk or coconut milk based ice cream! Hoping to go back in the future! read more

Fast service even though the line was long. They were courteous and seemed to like their job. The ice cream was exceptional! My overall experience was fanominal! read more

The ice cream here and soft serve are excellent. This quaint ice cream shop is just what the Dr. ordered for a hot humid day in midland or just for a treat. Would certainly recommend. It is one of my favorite places. Bottom line. Excellent ice cream, great service, wonderful ambiance. read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING Probably the best ice cream in midland. the ice cream is home made, they have a lot of different flavors, i got strawberry cheesecake, and tiger (chocolate fudge with chocolate covered pretzels in a cone), my husband got a float and he finished it within minutes, because he loved it so much. i tried a bunch of flavors there including cotton candy, caramel chocolate covered pretzels and more all of which were great. Definitely recommend this place if you're near or in midland MI, ENJOY! read more

Outstanding ice cream. Well worth a visit. Lots of seating in and out. Connects to the rail trail with bike parking and a bike tool station. Awesome! read more

Average ice cream, very upbeat and friendly workers, lovely back yard to visit with friends. Wouldn't go out of my way tho.

The ice cream here is so creamy and delicious. It's a cute little place and there is a nice yard to sit outside and enjoy your ice cream. There is plenty of room to sit inside as well but as long as the weather is nice I would sit outside and enjoy the day! read more

Very nice ice cream shop. I have been there twice now and had a good experience both times. The staff is friendly and efficient. Do not be scared by the long lines as they move quickly. My favorite flavor thus far is the Sea Salt Carmel. A must try if you like that combo. I will be back. read more

Ice cream was okay. Staff was super friendly and the prices are average. Would go again but definitely wouldn't be my first choice in Ice Cream locations. read more

Love the atmosphere and the ice cram at this little shop! And they offer kids nights-perfect for family fun!

I got the Blue Moon ice cream and it was very delicious. They give big scoops and also a place to stop along the rail trail.

The Ice cream is really yummy! A great place to stop along the rail trail and enjoy a nice frozen treat.

Delicious ice cream, natural, we had black cherry and strawberry, and they were awesome. It's a very nice place and location. The only opportunity that I see is that there was a line and only one person serving and taking the money with the same hand. There should be at least two. Nice discovery!!! read more
