28 Best Ice Cream Shops near Orion

“After a rough day, we decided to lift our spirits with some ice cream and headed to Menchie’s.

The atmosphere was nice and inviting. There were a few people sitting and enjoying their treats, but it wasn’t busy at all.

I tried the pineapple coconut smoothie frozen yogurt, which is both gluten-free and vegan. Unfortunately, it didn’t hit the mark for me—it was really sweet and lacked strong pineapple or coconut flavors. I ended up giving it to the kids. I was hoping it would be closer to the pineapple flavor they had before.

Even though that flavor wasn’t my favorite, I would still recommend Menchie’s! This location was friendlier than the last one I visited, they have a good selection, and lots of toppings to choose from. I also appreciate that they charge by weight, so you can get as much or as little as you want.“

“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! 🍎🍩“

“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!“

“ice cream is hands down the best in Michigan...maybe the world! Very cool place where the staff is friendly and so are the cows. We love visiting and do so often.“

“fantastic staff, clean, delicious custard!“

“We can’t get enough of Custard Corner. Our favorite ice cream place we’ve been to. The custard is amazing and we love all of the flavors you can get. The dole whip is my absolute favorite. I get so excited with every flavor change. We always can’t wait to see what flavor is next. Then there’s a whole menu of non-cone fun that never disappoints. This place is definitely the best out there. You have to try it! Also the staff is really awesome. So friendly and always getting our orders right and being kind while they do it.“

“Great place, fantastic ice cream, courteous and fast work ethics; It appears there's unity and solidarity between the associates on the team, orders clear up fast, and that makes a great experience especially in front of the kids. Thank you!“

“fast, friendly service. they keep it clean.“

“Food was good. I got a triple butter burger with lettuce mayo and cheese. With a small drink, fries and a kids meal for my daughter and got her the custard token of chocolate ice cream
I was here, probably almost an hour not because of the food took forever or whatever I was just sitting here, relaxing with my daughter, and I ended up talking to an older couple. The majority of the time was a nice experience. I come down this road often so I probably will come again.

Kid-friendliness: I believe they have high chairs for your children to sit“
