About Dairy Mat

Dairy Mat is a popular ice cream spot in Birmingham, Michigan, known for its delicious flavors and efficient service. This walk-up ice cream window offers a wide variety of flavors, including the legendary "Boston Cooler" and signature "Orange Twist" vanilla and orange ice cream. The staff is friendly and fast, making the experience feel like a VIP treat. While cash only and limited seating are drawbacks, the outdoor setting by the shopping area and nearby classic car cruises make the wait enjoyable. Recently, some customers have noticed that the sizes of the ice cream have gone down over the years, with large servings now closer to small sizes at other places. Despite this, Dairy Mat remains loved for its incredible selection and classic soft serve options, including the mango flavor. The location is great for watching cars go past on Woodward and enjoying the Michigan tradition of soft serve ice cream and yogurt. Many visitors appreciate the variety of options, from shakes to sundaes, and enjoy the outdoor atmosphere. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the hours and how the staff handles closing time, feeling that sometimes customers are turned away too abruptly, especially when the weather warms up. Updating hours on social media and Google could help improve the experience. Overall, Dairy Mat continues to be a favorite for those seeking a sweet treat in Birmingham.

Zero stars if possible. I JUST bought this twist in a cup with sprinkles. It came out FLAT with a watery edge. (It's not allowing me to post the gross photo)

I said it looked melted. The woman took the spoon, lifted it up and smooshed it down and said "No! It's solid!!!" I asked to switch to choc/van instead of orange/van and she said "NO!" And slammed the window.

My 6 year old son said "She is SO MEAN!"

I don't know what is nastier, the owner or the ice cream.

The two women working on 8/29 at 4:20 pm was very Rude and Racist !!

Local, mother & daughter owned. The best!
