    A nice little place for ice cream between Manistee and Frankfort. The place has a lot of charm. Inside is decorated with antique signs and an old gas pump. Has a feel of stepping back in time to the 60's. They have a large variety of Ice Cream, with some unique flavors. Plus plenty of other options. I ordered a chocolate shake from Hard ice cream. It was very good. Honestly it wasn't in top 10 or anything. That being said if your hungry for ice cream I recommend stopping here. Overall a 4 star review. Would I return? Yes I would.

    Stopped on our tour of Lake Michigan because it was easy on and off. We couldn't tell what brand of ice cream was being served. No signage anywhere. The ordering process took forever, the cashiers seemed very flustered, and it's a good thing we weren't in a hurry. When my husband and I received our scoops, despite having ordered the same size mine was significantly bigger than his. We wouldn't really recommend stopping here when there are so many other ice cream options.

    Nice roadside stand.

    Absolutely wonderful ice cream. It says homemade and it tastes like it. About 25 flavors. Just an easy pull off from M-22. Had the banana pudding and the cherry flavor. Outstanding. We try ice cream every time we see it and this was a winner. Fair prices and friendly staff. Loved this ice cream.

    Such a cute, old fashioned ice cream shop. We almost skipped on it because it looked closed but I'm glad we went in and had some ice cream - great selection of flavors and wonderful quality! Can't wait to stop in again. (Ps - I had the raspberry chocolate and its to die for!)

    Awesome old fashioned ice cream shop. So many awesome flavored, and home made waffle cones you can smell when you walk in. The staff was very friendly and nice. Would recommend if in the Arcadia area! Their summer hours are different than on the door, I believe open 12pm-9pm.

    Super cute

    It was amazing and the service was great especially during COVID. Their ice cream is probably the best in my area. I definitely recommend!!

    Cute little place (attached to a bossy store?) with a great ice cream selection and wonderful waffle cones.

    I am completely obsessed with Moomers! It is such a fun place to stop, with the BEST ice cream. The…read moreflavors are so fantastic, and there are so many to choose from! There is rarely a time in the summer when there isn't a line, but it is always worth the wait. Cherry moobilee is one of our favorites! We also love sitting outside and watching the cows while enjoying our ice cream. It makes the whole experience even more special. Recently, we stopped in and ordered one of their adorable mouse sundaes, and it made my whole family so happy! Such a fun treat and such a wonderful place. We absolutely love coming here!

    This place was right on the farm. Besides just regular ice cream, they had sundaes, floats,…read moreflurries, old fashioned sodas, etc. There were plenty of choices to choose from. The lengthy line moved quickly with an efficient process by the staff. An ice cream flight ($10?) was ordered. Five flavors were chosen. Each was about half a scoop I would say. The flavors I tried are below. Most of the ice cream was fulfilling, but not as creamy as I would have thought being homemade. Black Cherry - This was black cherry ice cream with pieces of Michigan cherry pieces. This was plain and did not really taste like anything except for the cherry pieces. Cherries Moobilee - This was black cherry ice cream with chocolate fudge swirl, brownie chunks, and black cherry chunks. Again, the ice cream was plain, but the pieces of everything else helped overcome that a little bit. Cherry Pie a La Mode - This was vanilla ice cream with cherry swirl and pie pieces. This was my favorite. The cherry swirl combined with the small pie pieces made for an appealing treat. Butter Pecan - This again just lacked flavor besides the pecan pieces. Lemon Raspberry - This was lemon ice cream with a raspberry swirl. This was just not good at all. The lemon did not taste like lemon at all, and there was hardly any raspberry. Even with a small portion, I would expect the swirl to be in every bite. Will I go back? Debatable.

    Fantastic sandwich and pizza option if you're headed to or from Sleeping Bear Dunes!…read more We came across Shipwreck Cafe after stopping for gas next door on the way to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We wanted a kid friendly option and came in for the pizza, but ended up being blown away by the massive sandwich menu! Don't be discouraged by the line - it moves FAST!!!! The young people at the register and in the kitchen are efficient and so nice!!! We arrived about half an hour before the sign says pizzas are ready, and the lovely man at the register said "sure!" when we asked if we could order a pizza. The menu has something for everyone - Including plenty of vegetarian options (I think they even had a vegan option). I loved my Griffon, and the meat eaters in our group enjoyed the SS Noronic (a BLT) and the Fitzgerald. Our kids devoured their cheese pizza! They also carry Great Lakes Co Chips, which are some of the best potato chips we've ever had. Our sandwiches were all so inventive with delicious, fresh ingredients, amazing condiments, and the most freshly baked "pretzel rolls" ever. If this place wasn't a vacation stop for us, we'd be back all the time! Our kiddos favorite part, bedsides the pizza, were the tiny plastic swords that came in our sandwiches holding them together. When they each wanted one more sword, we went back inside and the staff inside was so used to kids asking for more tiny swords that their response to "May we have two more swords?" Was "Sure! What colors?!" Very different from what the response would have been where we're from. :) We even came back later in the day for the frozen custard!!! All in all, it was a great experience with great food, great service, plenty of outdoor picnic tables under umbrellas, and something for everyone to eat.

    I think I can sum this one up by saying that I stopped here two days in a row and got the same…read moreexact thing both times. I opted for the Morazan and it was perfect. Wait time was minimal, benches outside were numerous -- this is the perfect sandwich shop for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.
