Delicious ice cream- candy shop. They offer ice cream samples which is a real plus to help you decide which tasty flavor you want. So many to choose from. So creamy! Large portions. Lots of toppings too. They have waffle cones, regular cones and cups. They also have fresh strawberries drizzled with chocolate topping. Chocolates. Fudge. Excellent customer service.

Sharon Hartmann

Great ice cream, fudge, etc. Friendly employees, fast service. Wife bought a "smores" chocolate confection bar? It was ok, but chocolate tasted like wax & not very good. Her ice cream was very good as was my peanut butter fudge.

Ice cream here is great! Get Mackinac fudge and lots of ice team flavors. There is a deal on Tuesdays to get 2 scoops for $2.50 ! Make sure to ask for the deal when you go to the counter. You can read about the history of the fudge and the stores opening as well while you wait in line .

Erica Rose

The fudge here is delicious! We tried several different varieties, and they were all great. The sea salt caramel is a prize winner, and it's easy to see why. So delicious! The service here was very good, and we got some good recommendations before we made out selections. They also have ice cream, popcorn, and other treats. The shop is cute on the inside as well.
