Everything here is phenomenal, from their local chocolates to the popcorn. I've never had anything bad here. This time around we got the giant truffle box, the smaller assorted box, s'mores popcorn, garlic parm popcorn, taffy and some fudge. We haven't broken into most of it but the smores popcorn is absolutely absurd, and the boxed chocolates are exactly how I remember them. The first time I was here, I left wanting more so I bought some chocolates from the store. Not even a comparison. There's only one Alpine. Can't say enough good things about this place. Come check it out!

Ahhh I need a 3.5 option…read more Can ice cream be bad? Definitely not. Can it be not the best? Yes. Had 2 scoops...carrot cake and banana pudding. Both were good for a few bites, and Definitely extra points for the banana pudding being a unique flavor. After a few bites, though, neither was exciting. I eat a lot of ice cream, and it's been a really long time since I had some that wasn't great to the very last bite, so unfortunately 3 stars it is. Service was great, though. Fast and friendly with a quick moving line. In addition to ice cream they have candy, tons of chocolate options (including chocolate covered chips) and fudge. I tried a sample of 2 different fudge flavors and they were excellent! Prices are high here..so if making a stop go for the fudge over the ice cream!

We went to Moomers on our trip to northern Michigan. Moomers is an ice cream place located on a…read morefarm west of Traverse City. The ice cream was rich and was nice potions. We had Cherries Moobilee. It had plenty of cherries, chunks of brownie, with a chocolate swirl. We had a small, but it was very generous. There were a variety of favors. I wish I had room for more. There were a few tables indoors and outdoor seating at picnic tables on a deck overlooking the farm. The service was quick, and workers were helpful. You may have to seek it out, but it is worth the effort. I would definitely recommend Moomers.

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.

The decor and atmosphere is one of a kind gem which needs to be preserved like a museum. I want to compliment the two young girls working their tails off.

We wanted to hang out at the bar to chit chat to get to know them, compliment them, and hear about how they're doing, but the customers kept pouring in non-stop. Great work ethic girls.! I applaud you, especially because its Friday night - when young adults rather be hanging out relaxing / recreating. Thanks for your great service.

The ice cream is that good, and the history and story behind the building make this place such a fun stop. It's easily become one of our all-time favorite ice cream shops! I got the Eskimo Kisses and my husband got the Peanut Butter Bull's-Eye, and both were absolutely incredible. The ice cream here is seriously 100 out of 10. I got mine in a waffle cone, and that was probably the only slightly disappointing part. The cones are pretty small, and honestly, it wasn't my favorite waffle cone compared to some others I've had. But the ICE CREAM makes up for it and then some! There is pretty much always a line here, no matter what time of day you go, but they are incredibly efficient. They move people through quickly, so even when the line looks long, you aren't standing around forever. The inside is so cute and quaint, almost like stepping into an old-fashioned diner or soda fountain. It's bright, fun, clean, and has so much character. I'm still kicking myself that I've never actually stopped here for breakfast or lunch because I've heard their food is worth trying too. One of these days! We ordered from the ice cream side, where they have all of the cones and ice cream treats listed. I didn't see milkshakes and some of the other things you might expect at an old-fashioned ice cream shop on that side, although I'm pretty sure you can get more options if you sit down and order from the restaurant side. If you're in Ludington, you absolutely have to stop at House of Flavors. The ice cream is fantastic, the atmosphere is so much fun, and the history makes it even more special. We came back a year later for a reason, and we'll definitely be back again!

This place has started as an ice-cream shop. They hold a lot of records including one in The Guinness Book of World Records and it shows in their elaborate ice-cream selection.we ordered vanilla with butterscotch and raspberry rendezvous and liked both. Prices are reasonable too. Definitely worth a visit when in town. PS : we walked by the restaurant's ice-cream shop side in the evening again and there was a queue extending to over a block :)
