“I am a VIP customer and Marsha (the owner) is a friendly and great person. She strives to do her best and encourages her staff to do the same, in taking pride in hers and their work. The crepes are so delicious and the bubble teas are super good too. If you love frozen yogurt, custard, and ice-cream (even dairy free), it's all there. Flavors change constantly and are yummy. Bring the family in and play some games and enjoy some goodies. :) You won't be disappointed. I go everyday and it's great!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!“

“We love coming here!!!!!“

“Dog friendly ❤️ cider and donuts are the best 😊“

“I got the Dubai One. And they were not shy 0n the Dubai 💚❤🤎. The funnel cake one was good, wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Caramel apple one is delicious and the fried cookies and cream one was delicious. And the only way that waited on me was super super sweet“

“When is you car show starting“

“Love the options and super friendly!! Best ice cream around!“

“We love Custard Corner! 🍦🍨“

“The Best place to work! Great people, wonderful customers, Great fun, Best time of my life! <3“

“If you have been fortunate and eaten gelato in Italy or Sicily this will not disappoint you.
You pay first and then you will choose your flavors. They have a very good variety. Order the 6 pack so you can share and try 6 varieties.
Prices are on par for real gelato. We paid $18 for the 6 varieties. I believe a cup is $9.
*3 stars for the cramped and sterile atmosphere. The room is too small. It is always busy and it is so tight that the chair backs touch each other. Also the plastic chairs don't glide on the floor. If you are sitting, you are in the way of those ordering and leaving.
Bring your patience in the evening, the wait can be long, but worth it. Savor the flavors of each bite and for a moment you too can be transported.“

“The butter pecan ice cream is the absolute best ice cream I have ever eaten. I love BrainFreeze. So happy you have opened for business.“

“This place was AMAZING! I was on a bus trip with my son n 48 other people. They took great care of us along with other customers that came in. They took our orders n got them right out. AWESOME team work!! Staff was AWESOME!! They had a system that worked amazingly! Kudos to the staff!!“

“Been going here since I was a kid 💖“

“First, amazing service and very positive vibes. The Ice cream was amazing. The creation of your choice makes it even a better experience than just ordering from a talking billboard. Will definitely be returning.“

“This was our first time trying Menchie's and it was amazing! The woman working was awesome and talked us through everything. The frozen yogurt was delicious! I had cheesecake/banana swirl with waffle cone chips and caramel. My daughter had something dubai chocolate related. We both loved it!“

“Truly a Hidden Gem! Food is Delecious! I've lived here in Pontiac for 9 years and today is my first time knowing about this place. I will Definatly be ordering from here again. My Only issue is I made a order and instead of giving me a option too choose something different, they automatically email me they did'nt have it and automatically refunded my money back on my card which caused me too have too make a whole extra order which meant I had too pay a additional delivery and tax fee around $11 dollars, aside from the order that was already paid for. So I end up paying a extra $11 dollars for my two orders that were delvered together.“

“Nekter (and jack) are the best thing to happen to Rochester in years! As someone with autoimmune illness, who loves fitness & struggles to get all my protein in this place is a god send. Everything is made perfectly, I’ve been coming here for over a year & never one time has quality declined.
That seems like every time I come here there’s something new added to the menu, which is amazing. They offer agave nectar instead of sweetener, different types of protein, & all sorts of juices. The store itself is always extremely clean & the staff is always polite. They have a cute little area you can sit and eat in, great music, & a small area for kids to sit & color. My favorite smoothies are PB&J, Blueberry almond butter, & Raspberry riot. These are perfect for me to door dash at work as well when I don’t have time to eat a meal. Thank you Nektar!“

“A DoorDash driver stole $136 worth of cookies intended for the night shift nurses at a local hospital and JAMIE was amazing and delivered the cookies herself!!! She also called DoorDash herself after myself getting nowhere. It was so sweet and I thank her on behalf of all night nurse out there wanting a sweet treat! Thank you Jamie!!❤❤❤“

“The taste is awesome 😍 love to eat“

“It was not busy as it was half hour before close. Wonderful and friendly service despite our later arrival. Food came delicious and fresh with regular hamburger, mushroom and swiss burger and order of loaded fries (with hamburger meat and cheese). Ordered a side of fries for take out and it was given on the house! Did not get to try their taco/birria menu but looking forward to it. One of the best tasting burgers in the area, great portions and reasonable prices IMO.“

“Love 44 scoops! Cute vibes with the insta wall covered in pink and sprinkles. Friendly staff, generous scoops, large variety. Vegan and nut free options too.“

“Stopped by Cold Stone for a sweet treat, and overall it was a good experience. The ice cream was fresh, creamy, and the mix-ins were blended really well. The staff was friendly, and my order was made exactly how I wanted it.
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the prices are a little on the high side, and the wait was a bit longer than expected. Still, the quality and taste made it worth the visit. I’d definitely come back when I’m craving premium ice cream.“

“If you haven’t been to their location, please do!!! Not only do they have the best doughnuts, cider, ice cream, and goodies, but EXCEPTIONAL customer service! My family and I have enjoyed coming here for years and the staff always goes above and beyond! 🍎🍩“

Dulce de Leche is my absolute favorite flavor!“

“I had the pleasure of meeting Reiss when I stopped to get a Sloppy Joe on Monday. When I was got in my car to leave my parking brake was stuck on and I had to get it towed. While I waited for two hours for them to arrive Reiss came out 3 different times to see if I needed anything. I truly appreciated his willingness to help he was so kind. He runs a great Dairy Queen, everyone that stopped was pleased with his service.“

“Delicious flavors, great service“

“Our local Baskin Robbins in downtown Lake Orion did a spectacular job on my son's birthday cake this month! Their edible paper printer was broken so they gave me options of how to print myself, and also offered to decorate by hand as best as they could. They knew my son wanted a Harry Potter cake so they made the Gyfindor crest in chocolate and it was such a hit! The cake was ready for my dad to pick up 10 minutes late which wasn't a big deal because it was a lot more work to decorate by hand than they had planned. The decorative cookie sandwiches did melt by the time the cake got to my freezer so I will not order that design again but that's my own fault, not theirs! 9/10 would recommend and will be ordering my daughter's cake for next monthf rom them as well!“

“We came to this DQ location based on its very good reviews and they were right. The place is very clean, the staff was pleasant and quick to serve. We ate in and thoroughly enjoyed the background music (I wish we had asked who it was!). Thanks!“

“We love this place! Great for a treat and next to Polly Ann Trail to walk it off too.“

“Lovely hotel with an excellent atmosphere and vibe. Great location as well. Service at the bar could be improved but overall, a positive experience.“

“Awesome restaurant great food and the owner is a great man.“

“The selection at the bakery is amazing. It’s also good for special occasions such as wedding cakes and birthday cakes. I can’t wait to go back again and try something new. I got something to try while dining in and took two things to go, which I am looking forward to eating tomorrow! they also offer gluten-free options which is awesome.“

“Exited to share:
High five to Culver’s in Clawson

I was diagnosed with celiac disease at the end of July 2023, so it’s been three years. Because of cross contamination, I really don’t get takeout or go out to eat. I’ve been glutened so many times that it’s just not worth the pain. And the pain is severe when gluten’d which lasts for days and knocks you off your feet.

I follow an influencer who also has celiac disease, and every now and then she’ll go to a fast food restaurant. Last week she went to a Culver’s. I haven’t had Culver’s in over three years, but tonight I decided to give it a try.

I had memorized all of her questions, and I kid you not, I went to Culver’s and they went the distance. They took everything serious. They even wrote down “severe gluten allergy.” They have a dedicated fryer for their fries, which was so exciting. Then I ordered a burger that was cooked on a clean grill with no bread or anything else that had been on it, and they served it on a gluten free bun.

Here we are an hour later, knock on wood, and everything is great. I literally could cry happy tears.“

“8 cal/ounce delicious guilt-free frozen yogurt 🤗🙃“

“My husband and I came here for the first time tonight and I am so happy we did!!! Fresh fruit toppings (even at 9PM), amazing flavor choices (I got a mix of salted caramel & cake batter!!!), great topping selections, and friendly customer service!! The topping selection was very large and included all of our favorites plus a few I haven’t seen before! I did marshmallow on top but they also have 7 other sauces to choose from! Highly highly recommend! Will be coming back very soon (:“
