“House of Ice Cream is a true gem! Located right in the heart of downtown New Baltimore and just a short walk from the beach, this charming little shop has become one of our favorite summer spots. The selection is absolutely incredible—far beyond what you'd find at most ice cream places. From Ashby’s hard serve to soft serve with flavor blasts, delicious milkshakes, and more, there’s truly something for everyone to enjoy. But what really sets House of Ice Cream apart are the owners. They are genuinely kind and welcoming, and it's clear they care deeply about every person who walks through the door. Even during the busiest days of summer, they treat each customer with warmth and attention, making everyone feel special. Because of this personal touch, we’ve returned many times and created so many wonderful memories here. House of Ice Cream has become a beloved part of our summers—and we’re so grateful for it.“

I see there’s no new recommendations so I posting one.“

“1st time visit this past wknd. Could certainly use some updating but the one very large update needs to be serving draft beer in an actual GLASS… Ive never been served a beer in a hard plastic cup (?)much less 32oz.. I ended up ordering bottles after that… Also, the menu was paired way down cause it was a band night.. We arrived 1 1/2hrs prior to band so full menu should have been available… Do better is all I can say…“

“Have been here several times for good food and drinks but, this is the first time I'm leaving a review. We went here last night with friends and all of our kids. At one point all of our kids were playing pool and an employee or owner (not sure which position) had her dog with her. My daughter who has autism was very excited but in the mix she said something that could be perceived as rude but the lady with the dog did not react and seemed to let it go without judgment which I really appreciate. ?“

“Saw them on FOX2 Sunday 9/7, the food looked really tasty, then they showed their wings. Got the 25 for $25 and....THEY HAVE THE ABSOLUTE BEST. We haven't had takeout wings THIS DELICIOUS in literally years. The Savvy Sauce was good paired with, but we never had it and it had a heavy dill herb flavor to us. Still delicious, when we order again (addicted!) we're going to try a different sauce. So glad they have such awesome chicken so close to home!!!“
