I work over at Cottage Inn and will try to stop in every chance I get. These people here have been nothing but professional and extremely helpful to me since I started going in there pretty much since their first day back open this season. Prior to this ice cream “season” I had never been there before. They seriously have the BEST options. Maybe it’s just because I’ve never been in a place like this before…BUT, They have sooooooooo many choices. It’s honestly almost overwhelming. (In a good way.) And lastly: Their prices are EXTREMELY FAIR & REASONABLE. With everything else in this world being crazy expensive, It looks like this place is a unicorn…Simply meaning compared to everything else in the world right now, Their prices are honestly pretty cheap. I just went in tonight and got the biggest size they offer and got a lot of ice cream/toppings in it and spent LESS than $10.00.If you’re looking for a place to go to get ice cream, THIS IS THE PLACE!You guys are awesome. I will continue to go in every chance I can. Let me know if y’all ever want to make a little buisness deal…? A little trade if you will lol. Some pizza for some ice cream lol. Thanks guys! ?-Tommy.

The Mandwella Effect
One of the best authentic ice cream shops I have ever visited. The building itself is historical and sits in the downtown area of Dexter. Granted they are temporarily closed at the moment, they will be opening back up anywhere from February to March. At least that’s what the friendly employee told me when I asked about the hours/days of operation in general.This cute shop offers an endless list of flavors and options to every one of different ages. They have ice cream, soft serve, and frozen yogurt. From shakes to sundaes, you cannot go wrong with any choice you make to indulge on a frozen treat. The selection of goodies you can sprinkle onto your dessert blow any chain ice cream corporation out of the water. Even the cones themselves offer variety from original, to dipped in chocolaty coating, to a festive fruity sensation. The prices themselves vary depending on what you choose and all are reasonable in today’s market.If you dine in, they have a nice selection of board games and card games for the children and adults to play together. The atmosphere along with the employees are welcoming, fun, and a great place for families and friends to gather. When my family and I visited back in October, it was decked out with all types of Fall and Halloween themed decorations. We really had a wonderful time dining in and playing Chutes and Ladders while enjoying our delicious treats.I cannot wait for them to open back up because I have a hankering for that Traverse City Black Cherry ice cream and the fantastic customer service the employees display.Parking: Be extra careful where you park. It can be somewhat dangerous when you’re trying to leave. There is extra parking around the backside of the buildings.Kid-friendliness: They have these super cool color changing spoons the kiddos can eat with. Plenty of board, card, and learning games for children to play with.

We love this place! They have a variety of both hand-dipped and soft-serve ice cream/frozen yogurt with TONS of toppings. This includes vegan and sugar-free choices. There are a few tables inside and board games. It's also right next to a plaza with outdoor seating for those long summer evenings. Highly recommended!!!Dietary restrictions: Some vegan and sugar-free choices.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. They have plastic spoons that change color with temperature, which is a big hit with my 4 yr-old.

This is a decently sized ice cream place. They have decent seating inside and the Ice cream is good. They also have board games that you can use. Everybody is nice here and the service was good. I would give this place a 8.5 out of 10

We love Dexter Creamery! They started out with just frozen yogurt and toppings and over time added hard serve (Hudsonville), sorbet (the same Dole whip you get at Disney!!), Along milk ice cream, some groceries like milk and cheese, coffee and likely more! They have board games you can play while you eat your ice cream. They do a lot for the local Dexter community as well.

Super yummy! Great for getting small cups for kids with the way they have it setup. Take the whole family! Everyone should find a flavor they like.

Great options for everyone including gluten and dairy sensitive. Staff is always friendly too!
