The ice cream is from Moomers, so you know it's good! The staff was friendly and since I was just picking up, it was quick. They had a seperate counter that I went to, which I appreciated. The pizza was alright, but overly salty for me. I forced myself to eat 1.5 slices before stopping. Besides that, it looked amazing and cheesy and smelled good. Maybe I just got the wrong thing for the evening?

They offer an entirely separate vegan menu with multiple flavors to choose from, which was so appreciated. I sampled the chocolate vegan ice cream and it was absolutely incredible -- rich, creamy, and full of flavor. It genuinely tasted like premium ice cream, not just a substitute. If you're vegan and visiting the Traverse City area, this is definitely a must-stop dessert spot!

I grew up eating ice cream here and the new ownership has really just given it a face lift. The…read moreofferings are the same- moomers, soft serve, doles, sundaes, $3 hot dogs and of course monkey tails! Not a fan of the new shirts- I thought I was buying one with a cute ice cream on it but alas... it is a blurry "bardons" that everyone thinks says "brandons". When I went back to ask about the other option the girls said that was all they had (even though the sign had a different design and they were all wearing old designs). Didn't love that. Absolutely love the ice cream and hope it can make it another 75 years!

As you enter you will encounter all things cherry as there are many different foods, drinks, and other items for purchase. It may feel a little overwhelming with the amount of things in the store!

The staff member who served us was knowledgeable and informative. Both of the wines I got were delicious! Overall we had a great experience and would encourage anyone to make this a stop while visiting the downtown Traverse City shops!

Especially if you need to pick up gifts for in-laws and the neighbor who gets your mail when your out of town. Not super nice gifts. But cute gifts or interesting food stuffs. Spoiler alert: The food stuffs you eventually buy will be made with cherries. Cherry wine, cherry jam, cherry salsa, cherry barbecue sauce, cherry candy... Some of it's great, some not so much. It's large. It's packed. It's touristy. It has oven mitts with cherry designs and aprons with clever sayings. You've been somewhere like this before. If it's your thing, they do it pretty well. If not, this store will not change your mind.
