Just a quick review of my experience - Murphy's is a popular ice cream shop near the Notre Dame…read morecampus in South Bend and there is a reason it is so popular! The ice cream and the vibes are so cool! The vibes are very cozy and the staff are hard workers. You can also sample some of their ice cream, many of which have very creative names! (See my picture of the bourbon ice cream, "Exhausted Parent"). There are three sizes you can get, generally 1, 2, or 3 scoops. The "small" is 2 scoops and cost a little over $5. I got myself the small as a post dinner dessert with my boyfriend and some of our friends on a crisp April day in 2026. One scoop was the oatmeal cookie chocolate chip, one of the best ice creams I have had in a while, and the other scoop was called Fat Elvis, also pretty good, although it could have had more texture. They rotate their flavors sort of regularly so maybe next time I visit, I'll find a new favorite! As for now, the oatmeal cookie chocolate chip is my favorite flavor here. Yum!

Good ice cream! The flavors were unique and personally a bit too sweet for me so I just grabbed the…read moresmallest scoop of vanilla and that did it for me :) I love how interactive the place is with games and a map to put a pin in to mark where you're from. The gal working the ice cream was also very sweet!

This place was such a hidden gem. We went to get sandwiches from the shop in front and found out…read morethat this was in the back. They carry frozen yogurt and ice cream. The service was great and the staff explained allot to me as a first timer. They have three sizes of bowls. A small, a medium, and the last bowl is weighed by ounces. Bowls start bout 4-5 bucks. We got a small and was able to share. The fruit flavors were so good. I really liked the coconut and pineapple flavors. I was told that most of the fruit flavors are water based, so if you're trying to avoid dairy, froyo & so fruit flavors are a great alternative. Inside is clean and they also offer outside seating for warm sunny days. While we were there we saw people ride their bikes and stop and get ice cream/frozen yogurt. Super cute and such a great find.

The toppings they offered were good, however, all the candy pieces were so stuck together it wasn't worth the effort to put them in my Froyo. The staff working was friendly and the outside patio is cute. Unfortunately they close early in the evening on Friday and are closed on Saturday. I wasn't super impressed, however 2 star Froyo is still Froyo and it's the only place within a 10 mile radius so I'm glad it's here.

This is a wonderful drive thru/ walk up custard stand we love to visit after school on hot days!…read more We visited recently last week on a very slow day for the business (unusual) and drove thru the drive thru. The young lady who helped us was very friendly with a nice smile. She let us know the flavors available and suggested her own personal favorite which was nice to hear! My daughters always get a single or double in a cup. This time it was chocolate all around! Everyone was extremely happy with the rich delicious chocolate taste of Ritters custard. It was so smooth and creamy tasting. Their scoops are very generous so we all only had just one scoop and it was more than enough! We will return again and again for a delicious after school treat or weekend dessert trip!

What a treasure find! This would be if you took a bucket to the beach to play in the sand and came…read moreback with a diamond. There are 55 flavors of ice cream and so many to choose from. I sampled Wizards Brew, Shores, Just Take My Money, and Dark Chocolate and Peanut Butter. I could have tried 51 more but that would have taken a looking time. I wanted a milkshake to drink while I was driving home and couldn't decide between Smores or Just Take My Money. The girl who made my milkshake suggested why don't I just have both? That was brilliant as it turned out to be a Chocolate Caramel type of Smore. One thing the Midwest does fantastic is ice cream! Besides ice cream, there is Bubble Tea, Fudge, and lots of snack type of food. Picnic tables are outside with interesting yard decorations. Make The Beach Bucket a must stop for ice cream if you are in the neighborhood.

Expect not only all the ice cream your heart desires but also ice cream cakes, fudge, popcorn, mini donuts, and savory lunch grub. Five stars for friendly staff and service--Having the cash register outside is great and keeps things moving inside. Four stars for the ice cream--Again, there's so much to choose from, but the Moo-ville flavors aren't always potent. I was disappointed with my gooey butter cake and peanut butter brownie. Recently, I learned that some of their classic flavors are award-winning (vanilla and strawberry). Perhaps I need to go in that direction next time. Also, I had a taste of vanilla soft-serve, and it was pretty standard.
