“Houghton Lake is where my partner's family does their 4th of July reunion. Their lake house is a five minute walk to this ice cream shop and it is already a bit of nostalgia for me. Service is not always spot on, so go early in the day so you don't worry about them closing down a bit earlier than the hours say. It's a small interaction, so it doesn't ruin the experience of this delectable treat. The classic twist custard on a cake cone is everything you need it to be on a hot summer day. My sister in law swears by the Mackinac Island Fudge with strawberries on top. We have to get it every trip, so you should too.“
“This place has really great Guernsey brand gourmet ice cream and really tasty "feel good" eats, there's just about something for everyone on the menu, and all that with a very friendly staff!Pro tip: Us locals know there's usually WAY smaller lines at Polar Parlor than at Nibbles, and although Nibbles has really good ice cream & shake, I actually prefer Polar Parlor.Almost a summer tradition now, when we round that corner and I see that long line... I tell my wife, "Let those *down and outers have Nibbles, we've got Polar Parlor"Ahh, those poor, lost ice cream seeking souls...If only they knew that peace, harmony, and shorter lines were just beyond the horizon.Parking: It can get a little packed in mid summer, but nothing too crazy.“
“A small little ice cream shop that has a little park area behind it for eating the ice cream outside. I'm only rating it 4 stars because it gets super busy super fast. That's not really the store's fault, but it is a thing to note. If you're getting there on a hot day expect to be waiting a few. The staff are pretty friendly and the ice cream is rather tasty. It's Worth the wait.“
“We stopped in for a first time visit with the kids, none of which knew what they wanted. The staff was patient with them while they chose their goodies. The cases looked very yummy with all the fun treats. I will say, the only thing I didn’t love was that all the frosting is cream cheese based, which I don’t love, so that turned me off immediately. But I know most people love it. We got a couple frosted sugar cookies, a cream puff, a few chocolate chip cookies (filled with ganache), a pineapple upside down cupcake, and a strawberries and cream cupcake. My favorite was the strawberry cupcake (it had strawberry jelly in the middle!!). We will come back to try some of the other fun things they have.“
