Mel's Downtown Creamery Reviews
The last time I went to Mel’s the place smelled of sewage and the floors were super sticky. Most tables were too dirty to use. There was one customer in front of us and the service was so slow we left.
I went the other day to Mel's and I won't be back again. The ice cream was good but the place itself is FILTHY. How do they get away with running a restaurant like that and I don't think it has ever had a good cleaning. The seats were sticky with spilled ice cream (yuck), the floors I don't think have ever been mopped. Until I hear they have a cleaning service, I will take my money elsewhere!
We love Mel’s! They support the community and always have specials for the holidays and special occasions. I love that they have nondairy options as well! Our go to is the peanut butter daze sundae 🧡

Mel's Downtown Creamery offers a wide selection of frozen treats with authentic flavors and various toppings. The 50's throwback ice cream parlor has a welcoming staff, creating a hospitable environment. The place features many spectacular flavors, such as Gram cracker in a waffle cone, which customers highly recommend. Sundays are especially popular, with many visitors enjoying the treats then. The ice cream shop is praised for its lactose-free chocolate, which tastes like real chocolate and is a great alternative for lactose intolerant customers. Families and children enjoy the themed decor and unique flavors like cotton candy ice cream, which is considered the best by some. While some find certain flavors like black raspberry not as great as expected, many look forward to trying new ones on future visits. Despite occasional issues with orders and service, Mel's passion for the community shines through, making it a fantastic place for ice cream lovers.
