My nephew eating a chocolate dipped waffle cone filled with Cherry Chip ice cream.
Jen K.

The ice cream was incredibly creamy. We got the Great Lakes Rainbow Ice cream in a wake cone, which is blueberry, key lime, and Blue Moon. It's rich and sweet without being overly sweet. It didn't make you thirsty. It was a great sweet treat after taking our dog to Robert's Park in Shields, MI. My nephew got the chocolate covered waffle cone with cherry chip and I got a pre-packaged container of the coffee Caramel crunch for my spouse. The coffee Caramel Crunch Ice cream with the English toffee pieces was the best I've cream we've ever had! It's pricey, but I love supporting local businesses and all ingredients are sourced locally.

Ample bike parking and some outside seating.

Both interesting and fast. Many nice fancy and simple flavors, creatively named. Free tastes, and ready-lacked quarts to go. A local operation. Be sure to at least try Pawberry, which has pawpaws in it filled out with strawberry.

Great selection of flavors. Staff super helpful. Open late. Favorite was Sol Locks Swirl (cookie butter, ribbons of caramel and Biscoff cookies).

We love this ice cream shop. Stopped with my son right at noon on a Saturday in October. Wasn't sure if they would be open but were very pleasantly surprised to find they were. The shop is very cute with items made from local Michigan shops. One young lady in staff and the wait was a bit long. Ice cream is homemade and worth the wait though. I also tried one of the hot chocolates and would definitely get one again.

Iron Dame Baked Goods - Raspberry Vol au Vent

Iron Dame Baked Goods

We were visiting downtown Midland and the Tridge when we came upon Iron Dame. A…read moreFrench-European-style bakery in a small city? Not something that you see too often so we decided to stop by to take a look. It was within an hour of them closing and unfortunately many of the pastries were already sold out. Still, they had a couple of croissants that looked absolutely delicious and we couldn't resist picking some up. In addition to pastries, they also sell coffee and, interestingly enough, milk tea and boba (popping type only I think). I can easily imagine sitting outside, sipping on a drink and nibbling on a pastry. Raspberry Vol au Vent ($5) - Woah, just look at those layers on this pastry. So well defined with crisp, buttery puff pastry layers that are easy to pull apart. This one is filled with a raspberry jam and adorned with a single fresh raspberry in the center. They don't skimp on the jam here - it's absolutely loaded up. The jam is tangy, sweet, and delicious. It's filled with fresh and crunchy raspberry seeds and a brightness that is welcome. (5/5) Bacon & Havarti Croissant ($6) - Other places might put a single thin slice of bacon and cheese inside - Iron Dame fills it chock full with meat and cheese. Salty, savory, umami, everything you could want from a savory croissant. Since there's so much filling, it compresses the croissant dough along the edges making it chewier and more bready, yet still retaining a bit of flakiness. (5/5) Pain Au Chocolat ($5) - The lamination on this pastry isn't nearly as good - the layers are on the thicker side with smaller air bubbles. Definitely more bready than flaky. I'm not sure what happened to this pastry - the pictures on their website shows very well defined layers but this one was anything but. Two batons of chocolate are inserted inside, giving sweetness and richness. I wasn't able to eat this until the following day - since I couldn't eat it fresh, I won't include it in my overall rating. This particular pastry is something around a 3/5 though. It looks like they don't have a set menu (at least not what I can see from their website), so I would definitely drop by with an open mind to see what they are offering that day! I would come here again if I lived in Midland or if I was in the area. Yum! Bathrooms - Single unisex room. Overall rating of the food this visit: 5/5

The chocolate croissant was delicious! Lots of other treats that we'll have to sample another dayread more
