I have drove by this place plenty of times always seen a line of people and I finally decided to stop. I am so happy I did. Even though this walk up only ice cream stand is small. They have an extensive menu. I opted for the strawberry shortcake sundae and it' was very good. Can't wait to come back it the summer for more. P.S. they are cash ONLY read more

Sometimes you get the feeling that a particular time and place can be accessed freely. This Dairy Deluxe is one of those places. Standing in line on a warm summer night and listening to muscle cars roar by on Woodward; seeing couples hand in hand and families standing together laughing. My visit to this location was a portal to a simpler time, when the government wasn't as corrupt and the youth was more corrupt. Chocolate milkshake with extra malt, please. read more

Even on a chilly day, dairy deluxe didn't disappoint. From the quick long line to the welcoming parlorette.

I've been here a gazzilion times! It's so easily located off Woodward Ave in a little hut looking thing! This thing has been around for years & is a local favorite! They have standard flavors of frozen yogurt -vanilla & chocolate and usually have a special flavor of the month/week. The have lots of other things to order: slushes, ice cream, floaties & some of their own specialty ice cream sundaes. it's a cool vibe outside on Woodward enjoying your ice cream. I'm not crazy about frozen yogurt, but when I get it, I get it from here. read more

Very fun local soft serve place. They often have unique flavors. Tonight they had lemon. My husband and daughter love the strawberry soft serve. I noticed that they had a bumpy cake flurry (like a blizzard) so I ordered that tonight. It was tasty but crushed into more of an Oreo cookie blizzard consistency. It could've been better if there were recognizable pieces of cake, after all bumpy cake is the best. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for soft serve. read more

Context is crucial for this review. Dairy Deluxe is a little roadside soft ice cream stand. As a kid we called this frozen custard, or you may know it as soft serve. The key elements of the experience are a warm summer night, a group of family or friends, an iconic road, and a good soft serve place. It is important that Dairy Deluxe sits on the side of Woodward Avenue, the famous path from downtown Detroit to the iconic upscale suburbs of Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills. Somewhere in the daily journey driven by so many commuters along Woodward lies the meaning of life. Work hard to earn a living so you can buy ice cream for your kids. As their faces light up, you know it is all worth it. So yeah... it's about a lot more than a twist cone of soft serve. And this is the definitive place to experience it. read more

This is a super busy place during the warmer weather season. All of the residents from Birmingham seem to come here, as well as some of the residents from Royal Oak too. They have a lot of great ice cream flavors and soft serve ice cream. I get why this place is always busy. It's reasonably priced and you can get cups or cones of whatever flavor you like. There's always a line for ordering and everyone just hangs out by their cars along the parking lot or the street adjacent to the windows. Kids love this place. It always seems like ice cream places like this is I must to hang out for family and friends. It's a happy place, since I have never seen a frown on a person eating an ice cream. My favorite is either the cookie flurry with Oreos or chocolate soft serve. read more

I have been a patron of Dairy Deluxe since I came out of the womb-- literally. But tonight, everything changed. I waited the requisite twenty minutes in line on a Thursday night at 8:30pm, ordered my usual (a small twist in a cup with sprinkles and oreos), and waited for my order. However, what came out at the window was a complete disgrace. I was handed a cup not much larger than a Dixie cup (the kind one would use for mouthwash). Upon inquiry into this discrepancy, I was told they were out of their regular cups. However, I was not charged less, I was not warned that they were out of the normal cups, and I was not offered compensation despite being given half the amount of ice cream I paid for. This is in addition to the significant Venmo upcharge. I am incredibly disappointed, to say the least. This is not the Birmingham institution I know and love. #MakeDairyDeluxe2008Again read more

The man was very friendly working. I went with the QT which he said was a good choice and my boyfriend got the butter pecan sundae. The man working said the pecans are from Ohio. His sundae was awesome. The butterscotch was warm and the pecans were amazing. The QT is like a Mexican fried ice cream but not fried. I found a new ice cream place and cannot wait to go back. Also, he mentioned they are open almost year round and only close from around thanksgiving to Feb. read more

There is nothing better than sitting on the benches at Dairy Deluxe on a hot summer evening, licking an ice cream cone. The atmosphere is always fun, watching the cars drive by and chatting under the fluorescent ice cream sign. If you're from the area, you're bound the run into neighbors and friends. My go to is the simple vanilla cone with sprinkles, but it always satisfies. Throughout the summer they also have different rotating flavors. They're usually best when in a twist with the vanilla. I love the orange cremesicle and boysenberry, which is unique. When I'm feeling like something special, I also love the Reece's flurry, but it seems like the flurries get a bit more expensive every year. Great spot right on Woodward, a must on a nice Michigan summer night. read more

My family has been coming to Dairy Deluxe since I was just a kid. A great local business with generous portion sizes (believe it or not this is only a medium!) prices are right and it feels great to support a long standing member of the community. There's something on the menu for everyone from icecream, to floats, to dairy free options, to pup treats for your pets. The establishment is a walk up window that's cash only, but thankfully there's a bank next door! Used to be a water fountain, but haven't seen it recently. Opened now despite COVID.

I was in town for the weekend and had just finished breakfast in downtown Birmingham. So I Yelped an ice cream place. I am so happy that I found this place. I can honestly say that this was the best ice cream mix I've ever had. It's not because their soft serve is the best, it's all the same. It's their unique mixes. My daughter got the Lucky Charms flurry. It's like a creamy version of cereal and milk. For me, I got the Madison. BUT, I asked them to add salted caramel. I was in heaven! It was the best mix I've ever had. It was like a turtle ice cream. The pretzels, peanut butter, and caramel mix was so good. Hope to come again when I'm in Michigan. Cash only, which is a little annoying, but when I put the place in google maps, it said "cash only" right under it. So that helped us prepare. read more

I really love the ice cream sundaes. My particular favorite is the black forest or turtle sundae. The blizzards are also amazing. I might go so far as to say it's the world's greatest soft serve.

The chicken was full of gristle: tough, stringy bits I couldn't chew through. The person who brought the soft serve to our table was pleasant and efficient, however several other employees were neither pleasant nor efficient. When we first walked in, the two employees at the counter were both on their phones (maybe this was why there was a huge line of people behind us). Neither greeted us, and the one who took our order did so with just a sullen "What do you want?" That person's uniform was covered in thick food spatter. Why didn't management get her a new top? While waiting for employees to get off their phones to take our order, we saw and heard several other employees gathering behind the counter to complain in loud voices about their work.

People don't realize what's going on behind the counter at dairy deluxe. As a former employee, it shocks me how the health department hasn't shut this place down. Flurry lids are washed every few to several hours meaning if you have a peanut allergy and the person who ordered before you got a peanut butter cup flurry, you will definitely get some in yours. Employees reuse cones that have fallen on the floor all of the time. Crazy busy during the dream cruise, while management enjoys bringing dogs into the tiny shop getting dog hair into the ice cream and taking a nap in the bed the owner has created IN THE PANTRIES. Chances are, as soon as you leave, management will judge you and talk about you behind your back. After working at dairy deluxe you begin to not even crave ice cream after seeing the kinds of conditions the food is treated. Do NOT continue to go to dairy deluxe. The owners do not care about customers or employees. They have repeatedly crossed lines with employees and customers, including verbally harassing employees. Choose dairy mat down the road. You won't regret it. read more

I very much enjoy the Dairy Deluxe. They have an easy competent staff, a fun hand written menu with many tasty treats and of course they're a local establishment which I try to support regularly. I work down the street and I have convince myself not to walk down there everyday. It's a struggle! If you're looking for good soft serve look no further. read more

She did not seem like she cared or was happy serving ice cream.

The ice cream wasn't bad and had a unique flavor profile without being too sweet, but the service wasn't the best.

Great ice cream, slushees, and custard here!…read more My boyfriend's a big fan of the cherry slushee while I get the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. We sometimes will get a green apple slushee mixed with vanilla ice cream--absolute best sweet treat! They also have chocolate covered bananas, sundaes, and 'cyclones' (custard mixed with candies) with a ton of options to add toppings, fudges / syrups, and different cones. The flavors are pretty rich, I stick with a small and it's all I need! There is also food like pretzels, bagged chips, and hotdogs. You order at a carry out window and wait outside. There's outdoor picnic tables to sit at but we like walking around. Since there's normally only one or two people working, I'd recommend going in the late afternoon to very early evening as the lines get pretty long--not surprising as it's the best ice cream for the lowest price!

From Doug's I went with their special--a blue moon soft serve served with strawberry soft served, dipped in sprinkles. It was so good! The flavor profiles of both weren't as strong as hard pack blue moon and strawberry ice creams but they were still very obviously blue moon and strawberry and tasted great together. The sprinkles were also a great texture. Just slightly crunchy but not hard. I'm very picky about my sprinkles and they've got good ones! Also, I ordered a small and it was HUGE. I couldn't finish it! Next time I'm definitely going to try a sundae or a "Dougie" but even with a soft serve you can't go wrong!

It was drowning in relish, so the bun was soggy and the whole thing tasted very sweet. It also needed some celery salt. The hot dog itself had a very thick casing and kind of a chewy texture. The french fries were way over salted, but were served fresh and hot. With less salt, they would have been incredible. They also give you a very large portion - could easily be shared by 2-3 people.
