We…read moreordered the following: Baby Traverse City Cherry Small Blue moon and Bubble gum (2 scoops) cone Small super scoop cone And a SpongeBob popsicle. We paid $15 for all of that! Which we felt was well priced in comparison to places closer to our home. NOTE they charge more if you use a credit card and it's posted everywhere! They serve Hudsonville ice cream which was very fresh and delicious! Although one of our orders came as a cup versus a cone we still enjoyed it! The service was great! It was quick and easy to order. We were first in line so we got our order in and picked it up very quickly. They have a small parking lot making it very accessible to park and order your ice cream! They also have some covered seating and some not. They do have an outdoor game that you can play while there. It was very calm and quaint! We really enjoyed that. Overall great experience and highly recommend visiting!

Just gotta say before I say anything else, the amount of workers that are always in this location…read morenever ceases to amaze me. I walked in and my little brother was already drooling at the smell of the store. Somehow you can smell the ice cream. There is a radius around the store where you can smell it. It's impressive. Maybe the body heat of all the workers creates a special environment that blasts the fumes of the store outdoors. But who knows. My little brother kept saying waffle bowl. His eyes rolled back and he said it again. Waffle bowl. Waffle bowl. Waffle bowl. His eyes were completely turned back and it was like a spirit spoke through him. Cappuccino crunch waffle bowl. I told him that I was going to get a waffle cone, and then he turned around, and then his neck spun on an axis toward me. The lights began flickering and all I could see were the whites of his eyes rolled back. They began to turn red and swell and then he quickly turned around, his neck snapped back and his eyes went down. The lights came back on and the workers were still there asking if we were ready. "Cappuccino crunch is pretty good. Get a waffle bowl." Said my brother as if nothing happened. Traumatized I just got the waffle cone, because my ego could not back down. But I did get cappuccino crunch. The rest of my family got other ice creams piled atop cones and waffle cones, and they were all smalls. Small gets you three scoops atop a waffle cones. On the Fourth of July, I couldn't imagine anything more American. They give you one to two napkins and there are napkin holders with more. I grabbed a few. My IQ is 180 so I ate my cappuccino crunch with ease. It dripped on the ground but never onto my hand. Smoothly I licked the cone all the way till it was gone and then took my final crunch. Man that was good. Between a cappuccino and heath candy, this was the fusion I never knew I needed. Like an affogato from the candy shop, but not too sweet. My intelligence often limits me from enjoying simple pleasures, but this scratched the itch for me. I am a world renowned track athlete, and this was my first cheat day in 4 years. I treat cheat days like bachelors degrees. If I can't go that long, it's worth nothing. Paul's uncle was our cashier, and after the maze of employees scurried around each other like Times Square in NYC, they piled the ice cream up with ease. If I counted right, I think I saw 20 workers in there. Quite the operation. My little brother smiled at me as I ate my ice cream with ease. No mess. However, with his bowl, he was the only one beside me that didn't spill it all over himself. We tied for first. He sat in his chair and laughed away as everyone else spilled soft serve down their shirts. "Waffle bowl." He said as he sucked his ice cream down like a black hole. Great times with fam

We've always gone through the drive through (and the speaker is a little difficult to understand) but the ice cream does not disappoint! They do have a few benches and picnic tables out front of the shop if you're interested in getting out of your car, but be aware, the lot is rather small! My personal go to is a orange flavor burst in a waffle cone with sprinkles. Yum!

It has plenty of food options (hot meals/snacks & sweet treats), including a variety of dairy free options. There are even treats for doggos! Truly my favorite thing about this place is that there is a small grass area around the back with a little playground for kids. It is enclosed with bushes & oak trees, and has a handful of picnic tables - great for families that are looking for a little privacy or just some shade!! Though the playground could use a little up keeping and maintenance, it was just so nice to sit down and have a moment relaxing with my family on a hot summer day. Though the ice cream was pretty average, the experience as a whole is what makes this place fun. I would go back just for the charm this place provided.

The gals scooping were so friendly & patient and allowed our group of 5 to sample a couple of flavors without annoyance or judgment, ha. I was split between the Mackinac fudge and the Marshmallow S'more but the texture from the graham on the latter ultimately won out. The ice cream here is creamy & rich without any gumminess. The flavors are also so comfortingly Midwest (like Superman & Blue Moon!) and unpretentious. Also, because they keep their waffle cones under a heat lamp, it tastes like it's right off the griddle. Ben & Jerry's take note!! 183/365

The first time around I ordered a chocolate-covered (giant) frozen banana with a sprinkles-crunchies combo reminiscent of a crunch cone from Dairy Queen. It was the perfect pizazz-y add-on to this "healthier" choice. As for the second time, I ordered a dirt worm sundae, which I haven't seen on a menu order since I was 10. I loved that combo of vanilla soft-serve, chunks of Oreo, hot fudge, and gummy worms. The only change I'd make would be a smaller portion of ice cream to even out the proportions. There will be a third time, and the question is whether I'll say "yes" to a frozen cheesecake slice. Stay tuned...
