This place is so cute! Has a special place in my heart as it was one of me and my now husband's first dates. 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). read more

Very nice and chill (get it) ice cream spot serving Dole whip, an assortment and wide variety of different ice cream flavors, and also beverages like water, pop and more. Service was excellent, very friendly/attentive and prompt, and the internal ambiance was cool (get it, again) with many historical prints of photos on the wall, and cooler temperatures (very welcome as it was quite hot outside). A nice spot in Royal Pak definitely worth checking out! read more

It's Definitely a spot that'll quench your appetite after the spa. They were a bit rushy, because they were closing up. I tried 2 yummy flavors, there was a piece of paper in the inside...

I just have to give a huge shoutout to the manager, Brie. Throughout the summer, she was there every single time we visited. She was always friendly, greets everyone with smile (and sometimes a joke) and you could tell she enjoys herself. She recently made me a Spooky S'mores Parfait, and not only was it absolutely adorable, but also incredibly delicious. You can tell how much heart she puts into everything she makes. Brie has such a great attitude and clearly loves what she does -- she's always smiling, friendly, and takes real pride in her work. You can tell her and the other employees have fun working together and doing what their doing. It's so nice to see people who genuinely enjoy making people happy through what they create. The parfait looked amazing, tasted even better, and Brie's positive energy made the whole visit extra sweet! Keep up the good work. read more

Golden cone is the cutest mom and pop ice cream shop downtown royal oak. They are only open in the summer though. They use guernsey farms dairy so I feel good about shopping local, plus it's really high quality. I have been bummed because they used to carry my favorite flavor- peanut butter cookie dough and I haven't seen it in a while. I have been getting lavender honey in the meantime, which is good but miss my pb cookie dough! read more

Golden Cone is a cute little shop in Downtown Royal Oak. I've been here around 4 times with my sister. Although the shop is cute, the staff is always incredibly friendly and the service is quick - there's always just a "meh" feeling about the ice cream. The custard is more of a frozen cool whip consistency and dim flavor - it never truly hits the spot. The hard scoops are okay, but the flavors, again, just don't hit the spot for us. Maybe it's us and our insane sweet tooths, who knows. read more

This is by far one of my favorite ice cream places. They have so many different flavors and they are all amazing. I usually get the lavender and blue moon, but they didn't have the blue moon when I went yesterday. Instead I got the pistachio and lavender and they were both so yummy together. The lavender taste is subtle and not overpowering, which I love. My friend ordered the lavender and the white chocolate russian latte and she loved both of them. She said the latte flavor was a very subtle coffee flavor and that it was delicious. I'm definitely going to try that one next time. The workers were very kind and it was pretty busy. I loved that they opened up a window instead of having people come inside. I know the interior is pretty small. I am already craving their ice cream again and I can't wait to be back! Please being back the blue moon!! read more

On a warm, sunny day you're walking down the street and see a few people standing in line for.. ICECREAM! I never knew this place was here.. but of course my toddler saw icecream & had a full on panic attack that could only be treated with chocolate chip cookie dough. The best part is there's a little outside window to order form or you can go inside. There's a few little tables and a bench nearby. They have both icecream and frozen yogurt. Loved it!

I love their McGuire's Irish Mint in a cup. The big chunks of dark chocolate are crunchy and a nice balance to the creamy mint ice cream. My hubby and I fight over the dark chocolate chunks. We share a cup to spread out the calories and if I can I take first dibs at the bowl so I can eat as many chunks possible and leave a few for my hubby. He claims I only left him one last week, wasn't my intent if I did, but his claim is questionable at best. Enjoy an ice cream and a stroll around downtown. read more

Been here a couple of times, it's a popular local spot for the folks here in Berkley…read more It's a decent spot for a chocolate soft serve. 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 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.

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.
