Lots of flavors of hard scoop Guernseys to choose from, or dole whip if you're not feeling dairy. Staff has always been friendly to us and quick. Seating area outside for nice days, they're right by the railroad tracks so if you're lucky you may get to see a train for entertainment while you eat your treat. Parking is typical Royal Oak (read: usually a pain).

Ray's is like a step back to a simpler time. It makes for the picture perfect midwest summer night…read more Happy people of all shapes, ages, ethnicities, just enjoying their ice cream together peacefully on the charming patio. 7-8:30 pm is prime time at Ray's. There will likely be a line down the sidewalk. It does move along pretty quickly. They have all of your traditional flavors (ie mint chip) and lots of fun ones too (ie. Salted caramel mocha chip). The special seasonal flavors seem to sell out earlier. They also have MLB baseball cap sundaes, for us baseball fans.

Ray's Ice Cream was a pleasant surprise!…read more Customer Service: great. The scooper was the nicest person I've ever met across the counter anywhere. Value: under $5 for two flavors and a topping?! Nowadays, that's practically unheard of. Flavor: the lemon sorbet was very refreshing! Seemed there was also lemon rind init? It's a strong, but not overwhelming, lemon flavor. The DF Black Cherry was a bit overpowered by the lemon sorbet, but I think on its own it's nice enough. I asked about the Dark chocolate fudge, that is listed on the menu board. The scoop girl was not sure, looked around a bit. When I sat at the counter to enjoy the ice cream, I noticed an empty metal warming vat for it. Maybe they had dark choc fudge at one time? It was fairly busy for a random Tuesday evening in late summer. If you are looking for DF options that don't leave you sad, Ray's is a good choice!

I got my favorite the pb parfait with added hot fudge. The peanut butter sauce was the best I have ever had. They have a nice outdoor seating area and we enjoyed our treats at a picnic table. It gets busy and there may be a line, but it moves quickly thanks to the great staff!

It's clearly well kept because there were no bees attracted to any of the trash cans. The store also smells very clean. Staff is swift and friendly. Our sundaes are soft serve based and enjoyable. Pricing acceptable as well. Long list of sundae options. And more. But if you're looking for hard scoops, they only have 3 flavors (Butter Pecan, Michigan Pot Hole, and Superman). Great spot! Would recommend.

I love Italian ice! Its one of my favorite desserts! So I was very excited to come here. I had a…read moregift card but it could only be used for online ordering. There is no ordering from the website, therefore I had to download the app, make an account, and order that way. Ugh! It took me some time to do, but eventually I was able to place my order. While I waited, I was able to try a few Italian ice flavors, which was nice. I noticed this location gets frequent foot traffic ! So that was a good sign. Unfortunately their online system was down, so they didn't receive my order. But they were very accommodating and just asked me to show them my order on the app. I ordered half Sour Blue Pucker and half lemon. It was made quickly and I ate it in the car with the windows rolled down and my seat laid back. It was a perfect summer evening treat for sure. I wish there was a location closer to my residence because the lemon half was mentally taking me to all the right places.

We sometimes like to stop by for a soft served dipped in chocolate too. Reminiscent of every diary ice cream in any town. Every town should have a soft serve after all, no?

She acted like she hated kids and every order she was making for people was wrong and instead of apologizing to everyone for it, she was very unpleasant and told people that would have to pay for a new order if they wanted it fixed. My youngest ordered 2 scoop cone with sprinkles and she put a scoop in a bowl with a empty come on top!!! No sprinkles. UNBELIEVABLE that people like this are ALLOWED to serve anyone let alone small children!!! We won't be back.

It was much more fun than the average ice cream shop! I had a strawberry sorbet popsicle, with the lemonade dip and a strawberry drizzle. It was a perfectly refreshing treat for a warm summer night. The staff was very friendly and did a great job walking us through the process of assembling our treats.

This is a very happy place. It is chock full of bright colors, nice people, and sugary treats. So…read moremany sugary treats! There are shakes, soft serve options, customizable ice cream bars (what they are known for), sorbet and ice cream cakes. They also have hot pretzels if sugar is not your thing. I think I ordered wrong. I went with the Sweet and Salty, which is soft serve ice cream with a hard chocolate shell, pretzels, and potato chips. A couple of major design flaws on this - the shell was so hard that I could not get to the ice cream and the cup was so small that all of the toppings were falling off (onto the ground). That said, I would gladly return to try one of the customized ice cream bars. Staff were friendly and helpful. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

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.
