42 Best Ice Cream Shops near Auburn Hills

“This is a terrific little ice cream stand on the fringe of downtown Auburn Hills. They have a vast array of flavors, more so than most IC spots that are primarily soft serve places. We tried the Banana and we added chocolate chips for good measure. It was great. Of course, their classic varieties are also good. Our grandsons tried the chocolate and vanilla (with sprinkles, naturally), respectively, and were quite happy with their choices.

The service was friendly and efficient and their prices were very fair. They have some picnic tables on the grounds where you can sit and enjoy your treats. It was an enjoyable experience and we'll look forward to our next chance to pay a visit.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“We ate a late lunch today and weren’t wanting dinner really. So we decided to go out for dessert instead. We tried Shock Gelato for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere was very nice. I held the door for a group of lady customers as I was entering and they were exiting. I heard them say, “I love this place.” A group of young people that came in behind me shortly after were speaking amongst themselves while we were waiting to be served. They were also taking about how much they love this place and how they were here at the Grand Opening or first day open. I knew I had made a good choice.

Kenny and Olivia were the servers and they did an excellent job taking care of the guests. The place was busier than I imagined a frozen dessert style restaurant would be on a late Sunday evening. Regardless everyone was served swiftly but with attention to detail. We had a group of seven and at least three groups of 5 or more came in behind us. I didn’t see one customer that was dissatisfied whatsoever.

There are so many flavors in the showcase. I wanted to try them all!!! I understand that they rotate the flavors too so perhaps next time will be a totally different experience. I can’t wait to come back and try some more. They do allow you to sample multiple flavors. I tried 3-4 before just placing my order. I don’t think that it’s possible to pick a bad flavor. I ordered the largest size so that I could get three flavors. All three were splendid. I’m already excited for my next visit.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Best soft serve in the city. Come check them out.“

“Amazing food, amazing service and great people/patrons inside! Had a party, ordered 60 wing dings and a 7 up pound cake. Everyone said the wings were really really good and the same on the pound cake! The food was ready the exact time specified and it was fresh!!! I definitely will be back and recommend to anyone looking for some good food and great people!!!“

“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.“

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

“We have come here a handful of times and it is such a treat to see happy staff, who keep the lines moving, and even didn’t seem to mind my overly excited, borderline hyperactive kids! The cookies, of course never disappoint! And I have discovered CURBSIDE! They never take too long. Maybe 5% slower on weekends. But what do you expect with a product like cookies?🍪“

“They have the best ice cream flavors! I had it almost every single day since they opened until I gave birth to my daughter in June 2024!!! 😊😊😊 after l healed I was there again at least 2-3 times a week😁“

“Cookie dough ice cream is amazing but the strawberry is my favorite. Looking forward to another visit!“

“best icecream in Pontiac!“

“My granddaughter and I went to DQ yesterday for my birthday. We like this particular DQ. Workers are friendly. She got a triple chocolate brownie and I got my usual Peanut Buster Parfait. We sat outside at a picnic table and enjoyed the weather and our ice-cream. Fun times.“

“It was excellent. Brooke did an amazing job on making the Dirt Cup. A+“

“Awesome, Friendly service.
Great options to make your dream froyo dessert!

They have just about any of your favorite toppings from fruit to candy to graham cracker crumbles, to cheesecake pieces.

They also have different flavors of Frozen Yogurt like Cake Batter and Cookies and Cream. You can choose a single flavor or swirl them and add whatever you want!

You can put it in a cup or waffle bowl or waffle bowl dipped in chocolate or waffle cone or or or lol

So many options, make whatever you want, pay by weight. 💪😌

Take the family on laundry day (there is a chill laundry place right next door)“

“Amazing experience at The Burger Truck Troy. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Huge shoutout to Murtada he really took care of me and made sure everything was on point. Great service and great vibes. I’ll definitely be back.“

“The taste is awesome 😍 love to eat“

“Great staff and service, I would definitely recommend family and friends to go there. They go above and beyond to make there customer(s) happy. Hard working people, Keep up the GREAT job!“

“Always have had a great experience here. Clean store, great staff, great flavors. Love that the owner supports local events too, especially cycling related as there's a ton of cycling in the area. Only wish is that they bring back the blueberry muffin batter flavor. Came in 3x in one week for that one!“

“Highly recommend this location! I get something from here 2-3 times a week and always change it up. I love everything i have gotten! I LOVE the bowls and smoothies. I love the fact that I can order ahead and have it ready when I get here… and I love their point system!“

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

“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!“

“I don’t usually leave long reviews, but Crumbl honestly deserves one. I stopped in pretty randomly, just planning to grab a couple cookies… and ended up walking out with a whole box because everything looked way too good to pass up.

First impressions: the store was spotless. You can actually see the team mixing dough, scooping, and baking everything right there. It feels more like a bakery than a chain. The staff greeted me right away, didn’t rush me, and even gave me honest opinions on which cookies were actually their favorites instead of just upselling. That alone made the experience feel more genuine.

Now the cookies—unreal. I don’t know what kind of magic they use, but these things are huge, warm, and soft in the middle without being raw. I tried the classic chocolate chip first just to get a baseline, and it might honestly be the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve had from any bakery. Perfect balance of crispy edges and a gooey center.

Then I tried the weekly specials, and that’s where they really hooked me. Every flavor actually tastes like what it’s supposed to taste like. The textures, the toppings, the fillings—nothing feels lazy or thrown together. You can tell they put real effort into each recipe, and the presentation is ridiculous. These things look like they belong on a commercial.

Price-wise, yeah, they’re a little more expensive than regular cookies, but these aren’t regular cookies. One is basically a dessert all by itself, and the quality backs it up. I don’t mind paying for something that actually tastes like premium ingredients were used.

Overall, Crumbl surprised me. I thought it was just hype, but I get it now. Great service, great atmosphere, and honestly some of the best cookies I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back—probably more often than I should.“

I highly recommend going there for a treat! I live 25 mins from this place but it’s still my absolute favorite! It’s definitely worth the drive there anyways! They have the best ice cream ever!
Dulce de Leche is my absolute favorite flavor!“

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

“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! 🍎🍩“

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

“This Dairy Queen is really great. The two guys who own it are there all the time, and you can tell they take pride in the place. Everything is spotless, the service is really friendly, and the ice cream is always made perfectly. It is also a great location that is easy to get in and out of when you want a quick treat. The weather is starting to warm up so make sure you make it your go to cool down spot this summer!“
