Within, you feel like you've been transported to an old fashioned ice cream parlor, with its vintage decorations and photos of historic Gaslight Village. They serve all kinds of Hudsonville ice cream, and can turn any flavor into a milkshake or malt shake upon request. They also carry a wide selection of old fashioned candies and sweets. Definitely worth stopping in if you're walking around East Grand Rapids!

Inside of the store there are a few places to eat and then there's several places to eat outside. Inside you can also purchase drinks and a bunch of old school candy!

They feature unique housemade flavors, and have vegan and gluten free options. On my most recent visit, I got a kid's scoop of the banana pudding ice cream, which was very tasty. The kid's scoop is tiny but it was perfect for me since I just wanted a small treat. They also have an ice cream flight, which is a fun idea. I liked the interesting drinks for sale in the cooler, including a few I'd never seen before. You can customize your ice cream with all kinds of toppings, or get it in a homemade waffle cone. There is a small seating area in the back or some spots in the front on the sidewalk. I will say that over the past several times I've visited, the service has not been the warmest. I don't love feeling like I'm a bother or not welcomed in to a place that should be as joyful as an ice cream shop.

Because we don't eat dairy we tried 5 of the 6 non-dairy flavors: amaretto cherry, lavender blueberry, blood orange mango, coconut fudge, and superhuman (which had lemongrass). All of the flavors were very good, but I really liked the amaretto cherry, superhuman, and coconut fudge. It's great that they have so many non-dairy flavors! People who worked there were really nice. The flight can't be ordered to go.

The dark chocolate shake is super chocolate-forward, thick and delicious. It's really, really chocolately. Also: Why have I lived forty-plus years and never tasted a dark chocolate milkshake? I've had many chocolate milkshakes, and they have been fine. The dark chocolate milkshake at Love's tastes like actual chocolate, though, and it is supremely satisfying. It almost makes me forget that I don't like ice cream! Love's has lots of other ice cream and gelato offerings, including vegan ice cream, plus chocolates and peanut brittle and things like that. This is the place to visit if you're looking for an ice cream treat in Grand Rapids.

The prices are a little higher than the other option downtown Ada but I think the quality is better, so it's worth it!

The green beans and macaroni & cheese were my favorites! We came in for lunch. We were about the second table seated around 11:30am. The place quickly filled up! However, there was only one server. It's not her fault. But it kinda sucked after a while. And it was our first time trying this place. Since it got so busy, our server got tied up taking orders and she seemed to be answering the phone too. I noticed that our food was ready and under the warmer. Unfortunately, our food was not that hot when it got to us, finally. The ribs were overdone. My pulled chicken was very good although it was a tad on the cool side. We were celebrating a special occasion and I hate that our special lunch was kind of ruined. I think I would probably try this place again at dinner time.

The employee scooping was super helpful and let us try a couple of flavors before we ordered. They serve Moo-ville ice cream, which is my personal favorite brand. We got one mini scoop of the easy peasy lemon cheesy (sweet lemon ice cream with NY cheesecake pieces and a graham cracker swirl) to share and it was a giant portion! Definitely way more than enough to split. I hadn't had this flavor before and it was delightful, with nice natural lemon flavor and cheesecake taste. Prices are great - the mini was only $3! I'll definitely be back this summer when I'm craving ice cream.

The course itself was not the most interesting or challenging, and some holes were repeats of others, but it was well maintained and easy for children to pick up. Plus, for $3.50 per ball you can't beat it! I had a butterscotch milkshake and drank it so fast I can't really remember how it tasted. Must have been delicious though.

It all started on a smoky, 87 degree Saturday in July when our camping plans got a rain check and we were open for a good time. Big Mini Putt Club was initially discussed but nixed because we weren't feeling the downtown vibe or $12 a person/9 holes. Then, we looked up AJ's mini golf but they had a private event scheduled. Yelp suggested Double Dip and after one ring, the employee on the telephone sold us with $3.50/person for 18 holes and recommended we come before 7p (thanks for the tip!). We parked, watched the first half of England vs. France at Walker Roadhouse and walked right over to the Depot. The course was perfect (no waiting around and lots of shade) for our 4 year old who got her first hole in one on the 15th! The ice cream/cone of ice came out quick (no line either) at 6:30p and we had our choice of picnic tables with umbrellas to enjoy. Overall, great family date night! We rarely frequent the west side, besides for the zoo, but will have to plan another trip before the summer ends. Sorry Frosty Boy - we'll see you soon (probably tomorrow) and congrats on winning Best of the West!
