Five stars for the dark chocolate milkshake at Love's Ice Cream & Chocolate. Period. This is the…read morething to get, if you're not sure what to get at Love's. The dark chocolate shake is super chocolate-forward, thick and delicious. It's really, really chocolately. Also: Why have I lived forty-plus years and never tasted a dark chocolate milkshake? I've had many chocolate milkshakes, and they have been fine. The dark chocolate milkshake at Love's tastes like actual chocolate, though, and it is supremely satisfying. It almost makes me forget that I don't like ice cream! Love's has lots of other ice cream and gelato offerings, including vegan ice cream, plus chocolates and peanut brittle and things like that. This is the place to visit if you're looking for an ice cream treat in Grand Rapids.

I've been to quite a few self serve ice cream/frozen yogurt places and this was definitely one of…read moremy favorites. I was very impressed with the selection of ice creams and they had a few dairy free options as well. They also had GREAT toppings which makes a huge difference at these places! The fruit they had was fresh and not soft/old looking, there was a wide variety of chocolate family toppings, and any sauce you could think of (is sauce the right word? Not sure lol). There was chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, Nutella, and more. My friend got a waffle cone bowl and I got a normal bowl and we each filled ours pretty much full, and the price was not bad! Very reasonable. Right now, they aren't doing the little sample cups due to COVID safety precautions, so you will not be able to try the ice cream/yogurt before you get it, which is a bummer! I think this is a great stop for dessert if you're out to eat downtown or just walking around enjoying the city!

The chocolate ice cream was less smooth than I recall but that may have been due to the Twix addition. The add-ins seemed to make it all a little grainy in my flurry, but my wife's flurry didn't have that issue. There was also a notable difference in amounts given. Mine is pictured while my wife's was filled to the very brim. We ordered the same size. Normally I get a regular twist with sprinkles and I think I'll stick to that moving forward. Since we've been there before we knew to bring cash, but the gal behind us in line didn't know. It's a little inconvenient to be cash only, but it's their businesses choice. The staff were kind and we got out ice cream quickly. All in all not my favorite ice cream shop in town, but it does what it needs to in a pinch and when I don't want to drive further for a cone.

Love the MANY types of ice cream offered. There is a favor and a type of treat for everyone!read more

The staff were super friendly, and there's actually a large selection of items inside including made to order ice cream sandwiches. They have a large candy counter as well as tons of pre-packaged items that make perfect gifts. I chose some caramel corn (excellent) as well as a prepackaged box of assorted creams (also delicious). The ambiance is that of an old fashioned candy store, and it's full of wonderful smells! Definitely visit if you're in the area and have a sweet tooth!

I wanted a sweet treat after dinner at Ato Sushi recently, and I remembered loving the hot fudge at Kilwins, so that's where we ended up... again! Nate and I were greeted right away as we walked in and told that we could sample the ice cream. The employees were very kind and patient, as they have a lot of flavors to choose from, including several I'd never seen before. They make their own ice cream, which is fun since we have a lot of Hudsonville ice cream in this area (nothing wrong with that! It's just nice to see some different options sometimes). I got a single scoop of the berry pie flavor, which is vanilla ice cream with swirls of strawberry and blueberry, and pie crust pieces mixed in. Yum! I added the decadent hot fudge and was so happy. Nate got the praline pecan and really liked it. The total for our two cups was $15 with tip, so definitely pricey for ice cream, but worth it for a treat for me every once in a while.

Always a great option for ice cream! It's not my favorite spot in town, but most of my friends are…read moreobsessed with it so it's the most often suggested place due to their vegan soft-serve and convenient location. Since I'm simple and usually get a standard twist cone with sprinkles, I'm easy to please. For me, the soft serve has been somewhat inconsistent; sometimes it's great and sometimes its really soft and has melted quickly which made it a race to eat! I've also had some random texture issues with some flurries. One time my wife had the drumstick flurry and I don't know what happened, but the texture became super grainy and almost like the ice cream was curdling/separating. That for sure felt like a one-off, but is now always in my mind and makes me far less likely to get a flurry. There is almost always a line in the evening and on weekends, but it does tend to more quickly. It's a time to chit chat and gives you plenty of time to check out the extensive menu. I love that it's dog friendly so pals can bring their babes or I get to see other people's dogs! They don't have a ton of seating, but it's not generally presented as an issue. I appreciate that the seating is behind the building and provides some shade for hot summer days, but wish it wasn't right next to the dumpster.

Frosty Boy has so many options for different sundaes, slushies, flurries etc. 9 times out of 10 I'm getting some sort of flurry. Most recently I had a cookie dough flurry and added m&ms. Just so good and they put the perfect amount of toppings in it. Parking can be kinda chaotic! The parking lot is small but there's residential street parking nearby. They also have some picnic type tables at the front of back of the building to sit and enjoy your dessert.
