10 Best Ice Cream Shops near Whitmore Lake

“Dee's is only open during the summer season. During that time you can get both food and ice cream. My favorite food item is the walking taco, which is taco meat added to a bag of doritos or fritos with typical taco toppings. For ice cream, I like to get the strawberry short cake treat with no whip. They do make sure you get large portions, so I remove whip cream from everything so it's not over-flowing. I also enjoy the watermelon slush. Each year they add something new and are always working to improve their business.“

“Amazing experience for my wife and I. Very generous and warming people with an eclectic and very beautifully tribal atmosphere. Yousef and his two parents were such a pleasure to meet. Very sweet people, and very tasty food. Will be back inshallah????“

“Super unique ice cream experience! The owner takes your order, pours the ice cream base into a bowl, and then pours liquid nitrogen over it and works the mixture using spatulas. Every order is made custom so it can take quite a while if there is a big line. He has set up a really fun kids room in the back with a toy ice cream set, games, and books! Definitely recommend!“

“Returning customer alert: we love all things ice cream and frozen custard and are always happy to be customers at Ritters. They have outdoor seating with walk up ordering or even the convenience of a drive thru. Every time we go they appear to be clean and organized and of course we always enjoy our yummy sweet treats!“

“No complaints here! A basic Dairy Queen with friendly quick service. There are shady parking spots and outdoor tables. This DQ does not have a grill but does not pull any surprises when it comes to deliver its ice cream treats, be sure to check out the classic car and sign. Has a drive through also.“

“This is the BEST custard we've had in the area! We are from Wisconsin, where custard is everywhere, and since moving to MI, we have been on the hunt for the same quality. And we found it! The service was fast and friendly, and we loved the summer vibe inside and outside the shop. This is our go-to custard shop from now on!“

“Last week my husband retired after 22 years of military service. His mother who lives in another state ordered an ice cream cake for him (they are one of his favorite desserts) for our small retirement celebration. She texted me when it was ready for pickup. I arrived to pick it up only to find out Brighton didn't have any cake under my name. I called her to find out what was happening, and it turned out she had ordered it from the wrong Dairy Queen. She ordered it at one in Wisconsin! The staff in Brighton came to the rescue, found and decorated a cake for my husband, and then wouldn't even let me pay for it! Their generosity meant my husband got his ice cream cake and we were cared for at an important moment in our lives. Thanks for your support of service members and veterans!“

“The best Dairy Queen in town. The prices at 50% less than the one by the high school and the staff is amazingly friendly and patient. They listened to a Four year old order and were so attentive and when she couldn’t eat it because it had chocolate in it and she can’t eat chocolate they re made it. They even have us free drinking water with ice! Amazing service“
