Thank you for serving our community with taste, good service, and value!“

“The best ice cream place in the area. Super friendly staff. awesome seasonal menu items.“

“My sister and I love this place. It was recommended by a near by business. The chicken quesadillas are amazing. The foot long coney is good. And the waffle fries with chili and cheese is delicious. I will return soon to try their egg rolls and ice cream.“

“Coach's is a standard neighborhood ice cream place. The ice cream is good which in the end is what counts. There is a decent selection. It's located in the middle of a strip mall as opposed to being it's own separate building and the parking lot is just feet from the building so space can be a little tight there sometimes. You used to be able to go in the store but they have closed the inside so now you can only order from the outside window. There are only a few places to sit, just a couple of benches across the parking lot, so plan on sitting in your car or standing to eat. Prices are on par with any ice cream place in the area. They do have hand dipped ice cream as well as soft serve so that is a plus.“

“I'm glad they are back open.need my icream fix.now they have food .comment on the food later“

“I have been going here for years. My family nd I love this place so much we go almost everyday can’t get enough. Staff is awesome very nice. Owners are so sweet amazing ppl very friendly.

I had almost one of everything on the menu nd I haven’t found anything I haven’t liked. It’s a must go on any type of weather best ice cream in town hands down. Good job Dairy Freezzz u rock!“

“I am writing this review to just address an issue we came across tonight which is the reason why I still put I recommend Cathy’s because despite this one issue out of the million times we’ve been there I still think they’re great. Tonight, I ordered my daughter vegan strawberry ice cream with a waffle cone and sprinkles. When I ordered the waffle cone the girl taking our order said “you know that won’t be vegan with the cone right?” I said that’s fine. Then I ordered a sundae for myself and a sundae for my son.. in that exact order. She asked if we wanted whipped cream and a cherry after ordering the sundaes.. not after we ordered the vegan strawberry with a cone. I said yes. I handed her my card after we finished ordering. She walked away then came back to ask if I wanted whipped cream and a cherry again… and i said yes and clarified i did not want the nuts for the 2nd time. I handed her a $3 cash tip. She said thank you.. walked away then came back and told me the total I reminded her she still had my card that was no longer in her hand at this point (not sure where she set it not that its very relevant but it points out the fact she was already flustered.) I know it can be overwhelming and it was close to 9pm so I am not holding it against her. We got our sundaes, then my card back. The kids dad waited for his shake and my daughters ice cream. A different person came to the window with the strawberry vegan in a bowl with whipped cream and a cherry. Which again, no big deal mistakes happen but she seemed clearly annoyed that it wasn’t correct. She remade the strawberry vegan in the waffle cone like originally ordered but when she handed it she made it seem like it was our fault and I’m truthfully hoping they have cameras and can see that was not the case. She mentioned how they didn’t charge us for the cone and said we ordered whipped cream and a cherry for the strawberry vegan 🤦🏻‍♀️ which again, we had 2 sundaes. The words whipped cream and cherries never came out of my mouth in my order.. ever. I was asked if I wanted them after I ordered the sundaes and I said yes just without the nuts because she also named nuts. I guess the fact they tried to place blame us and act like we were trying to get something free was the part that bothered me because I’m pretty sure my tip covered their mistake of not charging for the cone and working in customer service, I also know placing blame on the customer isn’t a good look. I would’ve gladly paid for the cone but like I said, I tipped before knowing I’d have poor service. We were never upset, annoyed or rude that the order wasn’t right. Mistakes happen, we’re all human but it did upset me that we were treated that way. The second person handing us the ice cream was visibly annoyed but it shouldn’t have been towards us. I normally have a great experience so I didn’t want to write a complete negative review. The ice cream is amazing and I’d like to give the benefit of doubt that it was just a long day/night but hope whoever the second person was will see this because like I said.. if there’s cameras this is exactly what went down with the order and that would reiterate just that. I am blessed enough to be able to afford my cone.. that was never the issue and if it was I wouldn’t of ordered almost $19 of ice cream. I guess the fact my tip went unnoticed and I was treated as if I was in the wrong was what bothered me enough to make this review.“

“everything is great there and the staff is friendly and helpful“

“It's not just another dairy queen, Liz and her family have owned for over 40 years. You will never meet nicer people, have better service, or taste better ice-cream. Those who posted Wally's or cold cow are better than this place.... well, you simply lost your sense of taste from covid and never got it back! its either that or you just plane dumb my family and every family I know will never go anyplace else EVER thank you Liz for your service to the community“

“This walk up window is located near Parker's Alley but the ordering side is on John R. It is clean and easy to get to. There is a limited menu basically just chocolate or vanilla soft serve. Around the corner there are tables and chairs located in Parker's Alley for relaxing with your treat.“

“I once saw a guy (teenager) on the cash register miscount a customer's change by $0.25 so the customer started yelling at him. The customer got one sentence out before a manager told the kid at the cash register to go to the back then she laid into the customer about bullying kids and his total lack of respect and humanity.

Ive gone back ~8 times after seeing that.

10/10, the staff has never been anything but patient, professional and friendly with me. And the water ice is great too. I like Tiger's blood.“

“Nothing else compares! The absolute best custard I've ever had - and their sprinkles are always fresh and fun!!“

“Great Ice cream spot off Jefferson-

Stoped by en route back into Detroit and picked up a “small” ice cream cone, when in fact I got the largest swirl of ice cream I’d ever seen. All very creamy and sweet, perfect for a summer day. Can’t ask for anything more.“

“1st time here. Very clean and cute looking place. Lots of variety toppings too. Pistachio Gelato 🍧 is DEEEEE-LICIOUS 😋😋❤️“

“great tasting food, the drinks 🍸 Maru Moscow was good and strong must have again.“

“Staff is young but very pleasant and efficient. They make wonderful ice cream. Some of you are too hard on staff that is learning their place in this world.“

“T Bear's uses Kawartha Dairy ice cream which in my opinion is 1 of the better ice creams and made in Ontario. Both female employees were very friendly and were polite.

Dietary restrictions: T Bear's also has about a dozen sugar free ice cream“

“Been several times and I continue to crave it. Fresh and delicious sandwiches, friendly staff, well worth the drive.“

“Clean establishment. A nice variety of yogurt & soft serve. Great service“

“Big store. Easily free parking available. Wonderful location, Lots of free parking spot. Taste is good. Quantity of ice cream was good. Prices are ok just like any other. Customer service was great. Same price if you get a cone or cup. They make their own waffle cones. Good enough space for dine in. Public washroom available. Quick serving time. Overall was good experience. Lots of options available. Best is to dine outside on bench in open. Will visit again. It is near food basics and lots of other amenities.“

“I don’t know who put these kids on but they don’t know the first thing about buissness. They are going to sink“

“Was so so excited to get Cold Stone as I hadn’t had it in forever- and Montrae made our experience that much better! He was so accommodating with our sampling, shared his own flavors he likes, and made my ice cream treat absolutely perfect. I got cheesecake mixed with Oreos and cake batter mixed with gummy worms. He made a dairy free treat for my man, which was also fantastic! Thanks Montrae! We will be back.“
