Despite its location [I live in the city, so most of my home state of Michigan seems either 'rural'…read moreor 'inconveniently located' by default], I was pleasantly surprised by how many customers would regularly stop in in the short period [believe me, it was inhalation more than eating!] in which I ate my ice cream. And I can really see why. Marietta, the owner, really takes pride in the hand-dipped ice cream and frozen custard she sells. She even has a breakdown of how 'thickly' her main ingredients are mixed into her custard on the counter, to assure hungry customers that they are receiving nothing but the best, and not some watered-down, overpriced mainstream chain fare. There is always a vast variety of ice cream flavours to please even the pickiest of frozen fare eaters, and the custard is truly to die for! Every time I end up back in Michigan, this place is on my must-go list, and this visit, I tried the chocolate chip almond coconut ice cream. I'm not even a huge fan of ice cream in the summer months, but this was AMAZING!! Just the right amount of everything, with little melt-in-your-mouth mini chocolate chips to offset the sweetness of the coconut. My husband had some sort of double Dutch chocolate concoction, which despite being a double scoop in a waffle cone -- and despite his skinny build -- was literally obliterated in seconds. Hot food is also served here, so we shared a platter of well-done french fries [we're into the crispy!] and hot dogs. I almost couldn't eat any ice cream, which was the whole reason we came in the first place, once we finished, but it's incredible how a girl's body can suddenly digest a little faster just so she can fit the sweet stuff in afterwards :P We ended up taking home almost 2 pints of ice cream with us, and they were naturally polished off before we left the state! The prices are incredibly reasonable, and cannot be replicated by any store-bought ice cream, no matter how expensive they are. What can I say, I'm spoiled! So if you're in the Sanford area and are dying in this sweltering summer heat, this is the perfect place to cool down and enjoy a sweet treat! I just wish she was in California, too!

You can taste the chocolate in it, we were told that they get pounds of chocolate and make their own mixed here. You can honestly tell the difference, so delicious. I got the reindeer puke icecream which was great as well, vanilla with cookie dough pieces. They had peanut butter, jams, cookies cakes, and ice creams to go. We had gotten a snickerdoodle ice cream sandwhich, which my boyfriend said: "The hot chocolate made us come but the snickerdoodle stole my heart" On top of that, the customer service was great. We were asked about our thanksgiving plans and had a nice conversation, which I don't find often up north, but as a 50% southerner, made me miss home! Overall great place, great service, and awesome products!

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.

This unique ice cream parlor has a large deck outside to sit and enjoy the tasty treats being served up inside. Once you're inside, you can peruse the many, many different flavors of ice cream. Every time I come here (maybe 5 or 6 times per summer) I purchase myself a delightful single scoop (which is more like 3 heaping scoops) waffle cone. Their waffle cones are stupendous! My favorite flavor has got to be the blueberry waffle cone. It's vanilla ice cream with blueberries and waffle cone pieces mixed in. Fantastic. I was at the Corner House on 6/1/13...still awesome. The staff are very friendly and patient...I simply cannot decide...that's why I always get the same thing. The last time I was there, I had the girl behind the counter mix me up a delicious vanilla and orange sherbet shake. I was amazed at how large it was. It tasted great as well. If you're up for the challenge, there's also the Pig's Platter. I have never attempted this, but the Pig's Platter consists of 2 bananas, 5 large scoops of ice cream and 5 toppings. Whipped cream and nuts are optional. If you take it all down, you get your name on the wall. Some have done it multiple times in a day. Remember: just cash or check at this establishment. But if you're in Gladwin, a lot of small businesses are usually limited to cash or check.

So I can get every week. So can everyone else. I give you encouraged permission. I was brought to this ice cream Mecca by friends who discovered it after moving to the area. It's mildly deceiving as it's located in a gas station parking lot.... but a fabulous find!!! I was initially told that they had unique flavor offerings, but that is a tasty understatement. In my current third of five days in Saginaw Twp., I've tried the Chocolate Peanut Butter and completely devourer their Tri-Carmel and Copper Country... the Tri-Carmel an obvious medley of carmel ice cream, carmel ribbons and chocolate covered carmels, and the Copper Country a delicious mix of HOMEMADE brownies and carmel in vanilla ice cream. Additional offerings include Troll Mint (chocolate with Andes mints), Peanut Butter Banana (self-explanatory), and Dog Puke ("colored cookie dough in a colorful base") .... and a barrage of flavors including ingredients like coffee, dark chocolate flakes, toasted coconut, and other awesomeness. I will probably go back tomorrow. And I'll need to come to Saginaw Twp. more often. SOOOOOOO good!!!!

A cone rolled in nuts is my favorite - but their nuts weren't just peanuts, but cashews, almonds, pecans and peanuts! They are very reasonably prices, and easy to get to by a short jump off the freeway and jump back on. The parking lot is small, so if you are pulling an HUGE RV, park next door or across the street. The driveway entrance bottomed out our fifth. I think they are cash only but their prices won't break the bank. Enjoy your summer ice cream cone while you can.
