50 Best Ice Cream Shops near River Rouge

“Love this place. Been coming here for 40 years. Always clean, always on point. This place has never underperformed on any level. The staff is super rad and friendly. Easy to find in River Rouge. Right on Jefferson across from McDonalds and Memorial Park. Banana Split Blizzard for the win!“

“This dairy queen is jut awesome !!Parking: Parking lication very small for how popular this dairy queen is, and the spots are always getting blocked by the drive through line. O so rough in the summer time they should expand there parking lot or have street side reserved spots for that place it gets bad.....Kid-friendliness: They do birthday cakes...have high chair seating on the inside very kid friendly..Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp instead of a step to get in the door so wheel chairs r more than welcome I'm sure ...“

“The only thing I would change about this business is that they're not open year round, because when they're closed, I really miss them!Great coffee and a huge variety of drinks and ice cream. There is a cute little area outside where you can sit and fun, eccentric decor inside. Definitely check them out!“

“This was our first time here tonight. The two girls that waited on my daughter and I were absolutely amazingly and kind. We will definitely be making this place a mom and daughter ice cream date ? thank you for making our experience awesome ???“

“Absolutely love this place, just wish the flavors lasted longer. I never get the one that drew me in.BUT------ EXCELLENT service and very attentive. I go there often but the lasti needed 4 pup cups for my Gypsy's Birthday. Not only did she give me them she offered peanut butter sauce to drizzle on top. They even wrote "Happy Birthday Gypsy" on the bag.Each pup was elated, especially the birthday girl Gypsy.“

“Treat you Batter has some great cookies and coffee options. I tried the Shaahi coffee and the flavor profile was unique with a distinct cardamon taste/smell. The lavender Matcha was a bit too flowery for me, but still good. The cookies are served warm and are delicious, although a bit too sweet which overpowered the taste. For example you can't really taste the cheesecake flavor in the cheesecake cookie. The simple chocolate chip cookie was delicious!“

“I love this place and wish they were open all year. The pricing tends to differ depending on who waits on you. The custard is really good and the coconut flavor is my favorite! I also like the drive through even though the speaker seems to cause issues. I do wish they gave the total before pulling up to the window. Overall I definitely recommend this place!“

“Reeeeally good food. I really needed a pick-me-up and I found what I was looking for. A lot of menu options to choose from. Highly recommend the mixed fruit drink! 1000% will be returning. Also a cute park is out in front if you just want to enjoy the day with some ice cream.Parking: There's a good section of parking behind the building if the street parking is full“

“Have had the pleasure of someone introducing to this Café. It is without exaggeration the best coffee I’ve ever had. The customer service is above and beyond. My dad and I were there today and the staff was amazing and accommodating. The owner even thanked us for coming. Lots of respect for you guys.“

“Great boba tea cafe with many options and a variety of ingredients. Prices vary, but expect to pay $5-$6 per drink. A little expensive but on part with Starbucks blended coffees. I've drank boba all over SE Asia, and I'm not a huge fan. However, my kids love boba. So I'll get a coffee with the tapioca boba and honestly it's pretty good. I still can't figure out why someone would want to drink a beverage with small balls to choke on, but I get that it's just different enough that it's unique. If you are into boba, and if a café makes a boba good enough for me to drink, then I say give Z's Bubble Tea a chance. You may may be pleasantly surprised.“

“After indulging in a delightful Mexican feast, our cravings for something sweet led us to Momento, a charming spot that exceeded our dessert expectations. Nestled snugly amidst the vibrant streets, this cozy establishment proved to be a haven for those with a sweet tooth.Opting for a chocolate muffin paired with a steaming cup of hot chocolate, I found myself in dessert heaven, while my companion savored the creamy delight of gelato. The interior boasted comfortable seating, with an added touch of elegance in the glass-enclosed area overlooking the alley, complete with inviting lounge chairs.What truly elevated our experience, however, was the exceptional service provided by the staff. Their attentiveness and warmth made our visit all the more memorable.While parking presented a slight challenge, the convenience of a new parking deck within walking distance alleviated any concerns. Moreover, the surrounding area, located in the burgeoning Corktown neighborhood, exuded a sense of safety and promise, further enhancing our enjoyment.In conclusion, whether you're in the mood for a leisurely coffee, a comforting hot chocolate, or a refreshing gelato, Momento offers an array of delectable treats to satisfy every palate. Whether enjoyed in the cozy confines of the café or taken on the go, a visit to Momento is an experience not to be missed. Highly recommended for those seeking a sweet escape in Corktown's burgeoning culinary scene!“

“Support Detroit madeThe ice cream was amazing, so creamy and flavorful. They do offer samples but there are a limit selection. I would typically like to see more variety of flavors, there was nothing with chocolate, but I'll still give a five star because my salted Carmel was that great.The guy at the counter was attentive, as soon as I walked in, he jumped up to assist.Dietary restrictions: Non dairy options“

“Best cocktails I’ve had in michigan. Their smoothies were ice cold and made fresh, and the icecream and treats satisfied my sweet tooth. 10/10 customer service, even offered me a free drink! If you come to Michigan or live in Michigan you have to come to this place.“

“I just went inside the business for coffee. The service was great. The employee was engaging and the decor is niceWheelchair accessibility: Door entrance and common areas are spacious enough for mobility devices and have accessible bathrooms“

“Always has been our go to dairy queen. Never disappointed. Great customer service,well ran, and of course their ice cream, blizzards and drinks hit the spot always. Even more so on a hot day. Highly recommend if you haven't stopped by here yet you definitely should. You won't be disappointed at all.“

“I wish I would have taken a picture because it was cute and colorful! Their vanilla custard is amazing. I get that there is another famous custard place in the area, but this place is just as good or better. Try it! I got a small vanilla custard butterscotch dip and spring colored sprinkles. They put it in a cup because “sometimes it gets messy” and she was reading our minds. ? It was very good and I want it again tomorrow! I will wait a while though. They also have a drive thru and it’s pretty centrally located within downriver in my opinion.“

“I love a good elephant ear! This place hands down met my expectations! The server was friendly, dining area was clean… and most importantly the elephant ear was amazing… crispy, chewy, and rich in flavor. I drove from Canton to Dearborn to check this place out… they did not disappoint! Highly recommend giving this place a try… I will be back! Go see for yourself!“

“Was in the area yesterday with a coworker and stopped in for my fruit salad and apples with tamarind (both spicy and sweet). Also order a small elote and a mango/pineapple Fresca. My cravings were satisfied!Line got busy after we arrived there and customer service was overall good.“

“I can't say enough how this place warms yet chills me down. The ice cream is amazingly awesome and tastes so good and creamy. I had a Cookie Monster waffle sandwich which I forgot to take a pic of and my partner had a Oreo chocolate and strawberry shake. Amazing 10/10 and will be going back. Thanks so much for the great service clean establishment and the warm welcome. 5stars is much deserved“

“La Gelati provides a delightful ambiance with its light, bright, and clean setting, accompanied by music that transports you to Italy. The handcrafted ice cream boasts divine flavors, with the Biscoff standing out for its creamy, buttery, and subtly sweet yet irresistibly smooth taste. A must try for anyone visiting. We also indulged in their pancakes, generously drizzled with chocolate and white chocolate, and though I personally prefer them filled with chocolate, the overall experience was fantastic. My friends thoroughly enjoyed it too, and we're already planning to return for more.“

“The young girl behind the counter, was so happy we came in. She explained everything they have, all the toppings, how it all works. All the ice cream, yogurt, mixing, and special treats. Then all the drinks. Super friendly, bubbly, and great customer service. Will be back for sure!!!“

“A few days ago I ordered a chocolate Ice Cream Cone. It was nice inside and outside of the building but I got a Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cone. Maybe somebody mixed up the order but I didn't say anything. It came out very quickly though which could be why it was the wrong flavor. It was still good and will be back for ice Cream.“

“Great spot for sandwiches in downtown Detroit! I usually get the Ruben Italiano. Its phenomenal especially when toasted. The purple cabbage adds nice color to it and the meat is delish. The chicken parm is hot, crispy, and flavorful. Definitely one of my favorite lunch spots when it's nice out as they have a small outdoor seating spot.“

“The service was great. I surprised my 7 year old step son Nicholas that night when I told him lets go for a ride. He didn't know where we were going and neither did I but we ended up at Taylor Dairy Queen. The ladies working were very nice. The ice cream was very yummy. We had a great time there. We will go back soon.“

“went on to pick up some carnitas this morning, and they were good. The only thing I didn't like was that I was charged for the 1/2 pound when I ordered, and I couldn't add more carnitas. they were good, falling off the bone as I asked for ribs. usually we go for the pupusas or the ice cream treats, also the corn with doritos are awesome.“

“I have been here a few times now and each time has been great, the owner spends time getting to know each person that comes in, the selection has been great, I have tried something different each time and it's been awesome, today I was given a custom smoothie that taste like a PB and j, it was amazing, this place is awesome and I will continue to go here, thank you for beinga great stop after a long day......“

“The custard is great and lots of options. Punch cards are 1/10 stamps per transaction (regardless # of items) and redeemable for only plain custard, which is not ideal because the business is largely built around insanely decadent cones, sandwiches, and flurries. Owner responded that there will be a new system for summer 2024 and looking forward to that.“

“Great local spot. The staff are willing to work with customizing items or offering recommendations. I love that they have dole whip and vegan flavors available for people with dietary restrictions or allergies. And I love ordering a pint of dole whip to go to enjoy at home. The Misty’s are my favorite. Prices are great and our whole family can enjoy a treat for a reasonable price. So glad it Re-opened, the new owners and employees are doing amazing.“

“A beautiful concept nestled into the heart of downtown. Yesterday was cold and rainy, shopped around all the department stores and stumbles onto this gem. A small shop with small batch broth to help soothe the brutal cold. What an idea to serve soup in the winter and ice cream in the summer. The server was friendly and helpful too. Guided and recommended a nice local pizza joint nearby. Hope they plan to build on this and add more soups outside of broths like chowders and bisques. Thank you very much!“

“Very good service and there tortas are bomb!!! (Tinga de pollo is my fav) Very good coffee as well made with cinnamon yum and smoothies, haven't tried anything else but they have so much more to offer! They are very friendly and helpful with there menu! My go-to every time I'm in the neighborhood ??“

“Best subs in Detroit! Feel like I'm at home when I'm here . They treat customers like family . Wait sometimes is long but that's because everything is made with passion here and attract very big crowds because of how good their food is!“

“If I could rate this establishment with more than a measly 5 stars, I would. My co-workers recently ordered a birthday cake for me, but left a lot open as for its design, etc., but nonetheless, Serendipity came thru! The result was one the BEST birthday cakes I've EVER had! EVERYTHING abt it was absolutely perfect! I almost didn't want to eat it bc it was truly a work of art! One of my greatest birthdays ever! I've seen wedding cakes elsewhere that cost hundreds of dollars that didn't have the degree of quality, creativity, detail, and craftsmanship that went into a simple birthday cake, I can't imagine how elaborately and beautifully actual wedding/ special occasion cakes here are made. Mind blown. Thank you for helping to make a birthday that much more special, Serendipity Cakery!“

“First off I walked in and was greeted by Christina and she took my order and made my coffee and had a smile and was chill the whole time .. the only reason I took 1 star away is bc all the donuts were very cold and they were running out of some selection.“

“2/6/24I've enjoyed this particular Dairy Queen location many times and today I realized that I've been remis in my diligence to write a review, so I will make up for that right now. I entered the store and was promptly greeted by Rhonda G. who took my order and then, when it was ready, brought it to my table. She checked on me during my meal to see if everything was good and/or if I was in need of anything else. On this occasion, as I was finishing my meal and my Blizzard treat, a gentleman dressed in "Michigan" garments (Go Blue), just as I was also wearing, approached and asked me how everything was. I explained that everything was good but that everything is always good here. After a few minutes of casual talk about this (and other) DQ's that I have frequented, the gentleman identified himself as Sam the store owner. I told him that I always get good service there and that some of the staff actually make me feel like family. I then gave an example of Rhonda and the gentleman who took care of me the previous day. Come to find out, that gentleman is Sam's brother who is a co-owner of the store. So if you want to enjoy some delicious food and treats, stop in at this location and join the DQ "Family" also.Rick ZornParking: Plenty of perimeter parking ?️ is available.Kid-friendliness: It's the Dairy Queen, it's ALL about the kids.Wheelchair accessibility: They are Handicap accessible.“

“This place is just too busy. No negativity on the service it's easy to see they are overwhelmed. I believe it will be best to order ahead of time avoid the crowd. However their menu is great it's unique in styles of deserts and ice cream I have ever seen. That being said you need to come here for yourself because this is an experience. You will love also the diversity here it's a perfect example of America. The vibes here and ambiance are positive with a lot of happiness. That is all. Chief Live easy be humble and always pray to God.“

“I went twice in 1 day, since the pretzels were not ready. So the service was ok during that visit. He couldn't tell me how long it would take for the pretzels would be ready, so it felt a bit dismissive. Other places give me an estimate, even before I ask. I was craving a pretzel, so I went back hours later. The pretzels were ready and the person was a lot friendlier. The pretzels were not as good as a NYC vendor's pretzel, yet still good. I will return for their water ice during my next visit.“

“Don't get to come here often but it's always good when I do. Only ever come for the cookies really, but last time the red velvet ones weren't ready yet (heartbroken) so I opted for the red velvet donut and a couple other baked goods. So delicious!“

“I've come here several times with my family and it's been a great experience every time! Both of my boys (3 and 5) can be very impatient and rambunctious but the friendly staff didn't seem to mind at all.There can be a bit of a wait in line during the summer when it's busy, but the staff really tries their best to give great service!“

“This place is a gem!!! Great food, prices, and customer service. !! I always run into other "Detroit Enthusiasts" while waiting and end up having amazing convos... Its great.. I wish the hours were more consistent though, but i understand the difficult of finding reliable staff..“

“Great little shop! We traveled long and far to try the rolled Ice cream, we brought our pups and Nick's shake even was topped with A whole cookie..... 10 out of 10. Love the service, small business family run feel. Great product. highly recommend“

“I've been frequenting this hidden gem for their delectable fruit salads, and it never fails to impress. The variety and freshness of fruits they use are exceptional, creating a colorful medley that bursts with natural flavors. The portions are generous, and the presentation is always inviting. The staff's attention to detail and friendly service enhance the overall experience.“

“This is a super fun little joint. This is where the Sanders used to be and there is still a sign behind the register that reminds you of that. Overall it was an enjoyable experience I hope that they would consider staying open late on the weekends in the summer as i have many fond memories of being in East town GR and leaving the bars and hitting up Yesterdog afterwards and downtown Wyandotte is good for that type of thing with its very nightlife friendly environment.“

“The service was excellent! The selections were great. I did find some pieces of mango that were rather fibrous in my mangonada and that did not make for a smooth experience ?.Still, well desering of 5 stars, the taste of each desert we had was good?“

“Frozen Custard shop within greenfield village,offering various flavors of custard offered. The custard shop is located between the Sir John Bennett Sweet Shop and the Thomas Alva Edison Statue. They also offer floats and a Blizzard-like blended, candy-filled “igloo.”“

“I live in the neighborhood and stopped in with my sister. A worker named Keeley made sure I was satisfied when I was a little put off by how the lime flavor slushie tasted. She allowed me to try a different flavor and was best kind about making sure I was satisfied. The waffle sandwiches are also amazing! Def will be back again thanks to the service and ice cream“

“Although you had me confused at first, ice cream not me, but then I looked at the map, and discovered that it was the chicken place that the service is always pleasant and prices are reasonable, no beggars flooding the lobby and it's clean and the food tastes great“

“Family Treat is a staple in Southwest Detroit. Year after year they continue to offer impeccable service, food quality/selection and a Wonderful Atmosphere in which to dine. Their One A Kind Sundaes, Malts, Shakes and Etc... Are to DIE FORRR!!! Try it you won't be disappointed.... I have a tip for you... If you like Cheesecake and Sundaes, try there Cheesecake Ice cream Sundae... OMG YOU BE ADDICTED!!! ☺️☺️☺️“
