My favorite small town ice cream place. The first time I stopped here, the mosquitoes were vicious…read moreand ordering at the window was miserable. However, there's a convenient drive thru located around near the mini golf course in the back of the building. I haven't tried the mini golf yet, but for just a few dollars you can play on a small but very interesting course. It's usually pretty clean when we happen to stop by. I usually only get the waffle cone with two scoops of Hudsonville ice cream, and I've also had one of the flurries which was pretty good. I would say the cones are better. My favorite scoops are the cake batter or traverse city cherry. 2 waffle cones with double scoops are $11, by the way. Staff is very friendly and efficient. We have only had an excessive wait once, and only because the car in front of us apparently ordered $30 worth of ice cream. It's that good that it's worth the wait.

We have frequently stopped for an ice cream after an evening spent in South Haven. We almost always…read morepick the same spot, just down the road. After noticing the line to this place extending down the sidewalk both times we were walking through town on a recent Friday evening, we decided to try this place instead of our usual! Trust the locals, isn't that what they say?!? ;) This spot DID NOT disappoint!!!! WOW! SO, SO good!! Also super cute and clean! They keep the line moving so don't be thwarted if there appears to be a wait!! You'll need some time to decide your flavor from the long list of amazing sounding options!! ;) South Pier Creamery offers SO MANY unique flavors and the three that we tried were all on point! So creamy and delicious! Each flavor was robust and satisfying! I asked about a banana option listed that ended up not being available - but the server offered me a different option that ended up being my favorite! The Banana Pudding! It was laced with the thickest, most delicious and dreamy marshmallow cream, bananas, cookie crumb bits, so much goodness packed inside of one little cup! My only regret is that I hadn't saved more room after my dinner to allow me to try a waffle cone! They advertise fresh, homemade cones! Another awesome benefit, if you order at least 2 scoops you can order multiple flavors in your cone or dish! I always love the option to experience more variety!! :) We will most definitely be back to try more of this spot that is new to us, while visiting South Haven!!

Oh and they are not stingy with their portions! Sunday evenings are the busiest to go but I never mind standing in line. It's a festive affair. Lots of children running around and there's always a dog or two. We've had some delightful chats while waiting to be served. Don't be put off if you see a long line. When it's that busy they open a second window and it moves pretty quickly. LOVE THE TWIRL!!!

The staff super friendly and fast! They offer all sorts of ice cream treats from hard serve to soft serve and everything in between. Big fan of the Oreo soft serve and the portions are GIANT. I ordered a medium and ended up getting a small after I realized how big the serving was. They have a walk up window and a drive through. It might seem like the line will be slow because of how busy they are but I got through it super fast. Open until 9pm and Cash only! Remember to tip your servers.

I decided to opt for the dole whip, which was pineapple with the option to swirl with strawberry . Refreshing on a hot summer day. We carried our two small dogs in, as they were dog friendly.

My husband ordered a milk shake and the ratio was just so off. Too much milk he completely lost the flavor of his ice cream. The shop is in a great location, and I appreciate the seating that's offered.

Best spot in Otsego to grab some delicious ice cream creations!!…read more My family, friends and I have been coming here for years....like since the 90's. So when I say this is the best spot in Otsego to grab some ice cream - I sincerely mean it. They offer lots of ice cream options: soft serve, hard serve, cone creations, sundaes, icebergs, flurries and parfaits. **Note: their flurries are huge - like shareable huge!

A delightful place to grab an old-school soft-serve. My wife and I stopped by on our way back from…read morethe beach and got a couple treats - she had a Reese's pieces flurry and I had a chocolate/vanilla twist in a cone. Both were pretty generous portions (especially the flurry). There are lots of outdoor picnic tables and they've marked off six foot increments on the pavement.

After dinner, we stopped by Captain Sundae based on several local recommendations. I was craving…read moreice cream, and this place really hit the spot. They have a lot of unique sundae options, which made it surprisingly difficult to choose. I ended up getting the Peanut Butter Shipwreck with vanilla ice cream, and it was delicious. The ice cream-to-topping ratio was perfect, and the combination of hot fudge and cold ice cream brought everything together really well. It was also very reasonably priced for the portion size. My only critique is that I expected it to be made with hard ice cream rather than soft serve. That said, the soft serve was still very good. It does melt pretty quickly, though, so don't wait too long before digging in. There's plenty of outdoor seating, and they even have a mini golf course in the back. The whole place has a fun, laid-back atmosphere and is a great spot to hang out with family and friends. Their soft serve cones also looked incredibly good and picture-worthy, so I'll definitely be trying one of those the next time I visit.
