We walked from Ray's Drive-In, through the old neighborhood of Grand Haven to the water. I had my eye on Dairy Treat, an unassuming shack selling Hudsonville ice cream, from nearby Holland, MI. I loved it. Girlfriend got a cake batter ice cream sundae, super sweet with chunks of cake. I got a peanut butter cups freezee that almost did me in. I wasn't prepared for the bulk of topping to have settled on the bottom: my experience is that it usually gets whipped up into the top. I muscled my way to the end. read more

Dairy Treat is open for the season! We really enjoyed our treats from here and they were very friendly. I did find some of the signage of all the food items to be a little hard to read through the window (perhaps the font and that the sun was setting but my husband and I both had difficulty). Thankfully, we just asked the workers and they were helpful. My dad got a hot fudge sundae and said it was delicious (and it looked fun too). It's a great spot to get ice cream then walk around. read more

Dairy Treat - Amazing - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Grand Haven, Michigan

dairy treat in grand haven is THE spot. it's the perfect little walk-up stand, walking distance to literally everything--beach, pier, even your next bad decision. the lemon soft serve? life-changing. it's like sunshine in a cone, and honestly, i'd fight a seagull for it. plus, they're dog-friendly, so your pup can join in on the fun (and maybe beg for a bite). if you're in grand haven and skip this place, what are you even doing? read more

Opening season for the summer is a tough thing to manage, so I know going to get ice-cream on May 3rd was a crapshoot considering it was a chilly raining day in Michigan! Those were my exact thoughts as I walked in the light rain from our house at 8:30 PM knowing they close at 9 PM. And sure enough as I turned the corner they were closed; I get it. They probably had a handful of customers all day so they closed up shop early. BUT WAIT!!! As I turned around, I saw a white SUV pull up and a guy yelled out; "I told the staff to close early since they only had 5 customers all evening...but if you want some ice-cream I can get you some. I'm the owner!" Sure enough the guy opens up the shop and gets me two serving of our favorite flavors; Butter Pecan and Michigan Pot Hole! Before leaving; he just told me "Its the right thing to do!" Thanks Kirk; very much appreciated! NOW THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE! THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR RAINY EVENING A LITTLE BRIGHTER! read more

I love this place. It's the only ice cream spot around that has gluten-free cones available. A heads up, they only have sorbet as a dairy-free option. I'm lactose intolerant but it was so worth it to get the coffee lovers ice cream. This place is awesome and I would definitely recommend stopping here for a summer treat. read more

This place had EVERYTHING - everything ice cream that is! Thank God your menu is so disorganized. It gives me something to read and marvel at as I'm enjoying my vanilla soft served dipped in chocolate. This is across the street from Pronto Pups. It doesn't matter how many of those wonder dogs you eat, you must go across the street for Dairy Treat. read more

Can not say enough good about this place! So quick and easy. On a very easy location and convenient. Workers are always kind and friendly. The ice cream is always great and at a reasonable price! Always will recommend this place! read more

Not sure what was going on tonight but service was sub-par and irritating. Second time we have been here and the orders are always wrong I'm not sure why it's so hard to make the orders correctly. We were given half melted ice cream too. Maybe if the employees quit plying around and goofing off in the back the orders would be right and not take forever. We threw out all of our orders and went to McDonald's. I don't usually take my time to leave bad reviews but I couldn't help myself. Ice cream... read more

My uncle loves this place so we decided to stop here while we were at the beach. There are SO many choices of ice cream, almost too many imo. But the employees were very friendly and helped me decide on what to get - a mint flavored vanilla ice cream in a cone. I know, not too crazy, but it was all I ever dreamed it would be! I'd hit this place up again for sure (pretty good prices, too). read more

Don't get a had ice cream cone. The small top scoop of ice cream was the flavor I asked for, everything inside the cone was just vanilla. Not worth it. read more

Dairy Treat - a hand holding an ice cream cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Grand Haven, Michigan

I get ice cream here like 3x a week lol. My standard is a vanilla cone with peanut brittle crunch coat. So goooooood. They have such wonderful people working there. Always smiling and friendly. Over the years I have even struck up conversations with the owners. Owner Kim has worked there serving happiness since 1969. She is great people. I look forward to awesome summer evenings spent enjoying their soft serve! read more

Great to see them open again. Rock Pile was as delicious as always. Peanut Butter Cup flurry was not the same without the peanut butter.

OMG, organize your freaking menu. There were little papers all over that had menu tidbits, but no one board that had everything. Other than that, nice ice cream joint right near the Harbor in Grand Haven. The Drumstick flurry was very nice. Cash only, long-ish lines, great ice cream. read more

Yummy ice cream of all kinds. Just what every little beach town needs in the summer! All kinds of ice cream treats...hand scooped, soft serve, dipped, sundaes, whatever you crave they have it at the Dairy Treat! read more

Dairy Treat rocks! During our stay in Michigan, I think we went here every night. Huge selection with everything you can imagine. Sadly, and I look back at this regrettably, I ordered the same thing every time. Something generic too. Just a twisty cone or whatever you call. But I did enjoy it. Every time. The service is great here, fast and efficient which I find is a necessity for this place as there is a always a crowd. So many things to choose from and I greatly enjoyed coming here every night. It's as good as it gets. So EPIC. read more

We got a little hungry after our walk back from the pier, and decided a little cold treat would fit the mood. I had a hard time deciding on what I wanted, but the girl there was pretty patient waiting for me to make my selection. There was ice cream in the popsicle form, the homemade kind, the frozen yogurt option, sundaes, and more. I went with the blueberry yogurt Hudsonville ice cream in a waffle cone. It reminded me of Michigan, and made me feel less guilty for having a sweet indulgence. The prices were fair as well, and the location kind of keeps it from being overcrowded but in the right area. read more

Nice ice little ice cream shop on the main drag through Grand Haven. I always make a pit stop here when I walk from the beach to my car, which during the busy summer season, tends to be pretty far away. Typically it's not as busy as the other ice cream shops around and you move through the line pretty quickly. On my most recent trip, I got a mudslide flurry (I think that's what it was called) It was Oreo, coffee ice cream, and chocolate in a cup. Hmmmm, nummy. Only downside is their limited (and often sticky) seating. It would be helpful if they streamlined their window menus as well. The windows are covered with different sized sheets of colored paper, each with a different item they offer. It's sort of fun but kind-of an ADD nightmare to read them all. read more

The most amazing ice cream! The turtle shake is simply divine! We look forward to having treats there every summer! Friendly staff and loads of choices (but get the turtle shake!!) read more

Went here about a month ago. They have Hudsonville ice cream plus soft serve. $1.99 for a small soft serve cone. I went with Reese's Flurry. Nothing amazing, but solid soft serve place. read more

Great family business. Fresh fruit, lots of good ice cream options.

1st Rock Pile of the year! Great to have the Dairy Treat and the Pronto Pup stand across the street open. They are both iconic features in Grand Haven. Ice cream & pretty lady servers here. Worth the wait in line, anytime read more

Fun walk up ice cream stand near the beach! Employees are super friendly, the soft serve is extra creamy, portions are huge, and they even have GF ice cream cones! We aren't locals but we will be back again and again. read more

Best ice cream stand in town. A lot of variety here, always busy during the summer. They ONLY TAKE CASH! Also, ATM on the side has a high surcharge, and last 4 visits, was out of order....so watch out. read more

Cute little ice cream place with a huge menu and usually sweet workers. Seems like the flurries are usually lacking much candy or add-ins. And it's cash only unfortunately. read more

They have SUPERMAN ICE CREAM! 'Nuff said. My husband got the famous Rockpile, and it was pretty amazing too!

Once you figure out their crazy, all-over-the-place menu, you really can't go wrong with anything on there. The kids had a slushie and blue moon ice cream which they devoured, my turtle sundae was delicious and DH had no complaints about his turtle shake. Great location! read more

I only come for the ice cream. The service is a bit annoying. One time after I ordered, a consumer who appeared to be friends with the workers ordered. And she got her ice cream before us. After about 5 mins of waiting after we ordered, we finally got our ice cream and I thought the atrocity that was occurring was done, but no it would never end. As I was eating my ice cream I noticed that there was a hair in it. I then had to throw away my ice cream which wasted my money. In conclusion, the ice cream is pretty decent, but it is clouded with hairs and bad service. read more

Very disappointed when I tried to order ice cream last Monday, the girl was so rude when i wanted to order a half hour before they closed. Very unfriendly staff!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The soft serve ice cream is amazing - we found this place after trying Taqueria Diaz and it was a perfect treat after some great Mexican food. read more

It is difficult to make ice cream bad, but Dairy Treat sure came close. From the slow service to the flat out awful turtle sundae, Dairy Treat did not impress me. read more

i went there this past weekend and there happened to be a couple girls who looked like they were in their teens working there - probably for a summer job. anyways, i ordered a medium oreo flurry and i waited 5 minutes, normal time, and when i got it, it didn't look like oreo. it wasn't. it must've been choco chip cookie dough or something but it wasn't oreo and i think they just needed a summer job so they were careless. i didn't wanna go back up and tell them they messed up my order bc it's just ice cream but it didn't really taste good and i kinda wanted my oreo read more
