The food was amazing and it has great ambiance ! The only thing that didn't go so well was that the workers kept bringing us duplicates of our ice cream order. read more

Just went for national icecream day and are regulars to this place has always been a favorite and ordered a two scoops which is my usual and was handed the most pathetic cone I've ever received at this establishment. As a pregnant lady I left in tears because I was looking forward to spending some quality time with my loved one and enjoying my favorite snack The line was so long my icecream started melting and staff refused to help saying it was their normal size My partner ordered a one scoops which we held side by side and was the same amount of ice cream. Very unfortunate experience as a regular here. read more

Hayloft - The best thing ever - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Decatur, Michigan

Delicious pizza and of course the ice cream dishes were amazing! Fun family restaurant and a great place to celebrate a birthday!

Shockingly poor customer service. Overpriced food. The food was good but not worth the prices. It was packed so there is some room for slow service. However it was more than slow. We wanted 35 min for pizza and burgers. The wait staff is young and needs some training in customer service. It was a sad atmosphere. None of them looked like they wanted to be there. We then moved outside for ice cream. Wait was worse out there. They served our first cone with the top scoop falling off. They handed it off and got out of there. I stood half way in the window asking if I could have a cup. Honestly the story makes me more mad. It was Just a sad experience. Catch them when they are not busy. Maybe it would be better? 6 of us dinner and ice cream 140 bucks. I'm out. read more

The Hayloft is a family friendly atmosphere with friendly staff. The Hayloft is well known for their ice cream but when purchased 3 years ago have now expanded the food. Serving delicious pizza, burgers, hot dogs, pretzels and quesadillas. Come join us and make some memories! read more

OMG this place is incredible. They recently underwent a change in management and now one of my old favorite spots is even better than before! The pizza, ice cream, service and experience couldn't be better. If you're on the fence, go here!!!!! read more

We love The Hayloft! The food is so yummy and the service is great. We have seen so many positive changes since new ownership last year - improved menu, better service, and physical updates to the restaurant. We can't wait for them to open up for summer! read more

Hayloft - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Decatur, Michigan

I just can't say enough about this shop. They have tasty ice cream and they give you generous servings. The staff is professional, polite and all about getting you your order. They have a vast selection of ice cream which includes sugar and dairy free. the Waffle cones are amazing. We didn't have the pizza but It seemed to be a big hit with those that ordered it. A fun place in Decatur which has ben around for years and this is why! You should definitely stop in and get a taste of their ice cream! read more

This has been a favorite place for ice cream for years. Although they have several food offerings I've only come for ice cream. They were a decades long Sherman ice cream vendor, but now offer Mooville ice cream which has two creamery locations in Michigan (Nashville & Ionia). Although I've always liked Sherman's, Mooville is premium and a deliciously huge upgrade. Tonight I had a double in a cup and mixed it up with Sea Salt Carmel and Mackinaw Island Fudge (4 scoops and way too much to finish!). Both ice creams were incredible! Don't know whether or not if it's under new ownership/management, but still has the classic Hayloft ice cream concoctions available. Inside decor is old and tired and hopefully they'll upgrade that soon as well. Service tonight was a bit slow, but not bad at all for a Friday summer night. read more

As a kid my dad brought us here once or twice a summer, as a family treat. We lived about 20 miles away. As an adult I still come, back and really enjoy the ice cream and the friendly atmosphere. This last time we had a calzone and cobbler for me, and my wife had the brownie bucket, Yumm. I am a big fan of Shermens Ice cream that they serve here. The staff does a great job of making the many ice-cream concoctions from simple cones to parfait . The Calzone was nicely made and very tasty, I will have to come back and try more of the hot food I usually get ice-cream and go.. read more

Nice customer service. Very popular place, and for good reason. My shake was delicious.

My family has been going to Hayloft for as long as I can remember but I'm pretty sure last night was the last time. Service has always been really, really, ultra-slow at Hayloft but last night we waited for over an hour AFTER ordering to get 6 ice cream cones (nothing fancy). The place was manned by two young women, a young man, and the owner. The three youths spent more time eating pizza and and standing around than scooping ice cream. The owner could be seen in the closed dining room playing freecell. If he cares so little about our business that he couldn't get up to help scoop ice cream or at least create a sense of urgency in his employees while 40+ people stood outside waiting for $8 ice cream cones, then I'm done spending money there. read more

greatest ever ! must go destination - the ice cream is truly unlike anywhere and the recent additions to the inside make it extremely comfortable for me and my family read more

What a find! We're not from this area, but live an hour away. Our second visit in two weeks. Last week I had the dark chocolate and peanut butter swirl on a waffle cone. Very good. Today I got two slices of meat lovers pizza and it's also very very good. But this was the really good part. I asked a young man working here for a bag. "Thanks for coming in today. You're always welcome here". End quote. Verbatim. It's not often you get this kind of politeness and service from staff these days. Decatur. You're lucky to have this place. I hope you frequent it and bring your business in Thank you, Hayloft! read more

Love the Hayloft!!! New owners were very nice and happy to have us there. I asked for my favorite, hayloft shake, which isn't on the new menu. She said they could do it!!!! We also ordered the hayloft sticks and they were amazing! So glad to have this gem of a place (even if we have to come from Paw Paw). Thank you for a wonderful place to have Mooville ice cream!!! read more

The Hayloft is a must visit whenever you are around Decatur, Michigan! The brownie buckets are massive and can be topped with whichever ice cream you want, they're amazing. The service was fantastic, everyone was so nice and welcoming. My favorite restaurant in Decatur! read more

We were nearly weekly customers the last several summers. Loved their pizza, breadsticks and ice cream. Today we came in for the first time since the new owners, just for ice cream. I was happy to have the option to eat inside again. They have pared the menu down dramatically and no longer have any of our favorites. So instead I got a two scoop sundae. I will admit that the portion sizes in the past were too large and I expected them to pare it down. But what I got for 6.50 was the picture below. Smaller than a solo cup. We may come back to test their pizzas and breadsticks but I'm probably done with the ice cream. read more

Had a great BLT Pizza...fantastic burger the next time and even indulged in the Brownie Bucket! Unbelievable...

What an amazing place! We stopped in while on a road trip and couldn't say enough good things. The staff was incredible and so generous. Jaden was our waitress and did everything to make our visit a pleasant one. And oh my goodness that brownie bucket was incredible! The pizza was also outstanding. What a cute place. Thank you hayloft! read more

Seven of us came back here again. We hadn't been in there since last year. We have been coming here for the last 15 years. The place wasn't very busy like it used to be. We found out soon enough why. The food ( salads, burgers, pizza) was not so great. My granddaughter had the Caesar salad which she couldn't eat. It was covered in huge croutons drenched in dressing. That was just stupid. The croutons were the only thing with dressing. Instead of putting it on the side like most decent places do. They did away with waitstaff. People delivered our food. Not friendly at all. My pizza was really bad. More like overcooked cardboard. They were not busy but yet they ran out of dishes!! My one granddaughter's ice cream was in a small take out container. Another's ice cream was a double scoop that was enormous. We also had ordered a 3 scoop and that wasn't even as big as the double!! It was just a huge pile of mess!! They had only one place to put trash and dishes and it was disgustingly full and gross! Overall a terrible experience. We won't be back any time soon. read more

Good ice cream with lots of flavors to choose from. The staff were all very nice and seemed to be having a fun time working. Could use some more outdoor tables in the front shade but otherwise a very cute and cozy ice cream spot. read more

NEVER EAT ANYTHING BIGGER THAN YOUR HEAD Wiser words have never been spoken, but I made an exception for the gonzo, gargantuan, Godzilla-sized portions at the Hayloft. They do not mess around here. A single scoop here is at least two giant baseball-sized scoops of QUALITY ice cream. At $2.59, this is a steal! Heck, even the "baby scoop" portion was bigger than a single scoop at most places. As you can imagine, the sundaes are even bigger and are best left to small families and those training for Man vs. Food type challenges. read more

As the line from the old ad campaign went, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" may well have been first spoken here. The Ice Cream deserts are huge, and reasonably priced. Service was fantastic Never went for the food, so no comment on that, this is after all an ice cram parlor. read more

An ok place. Food is good, and ice cream is fabulous. Restaurant floor is not always clean and ice cream is in the walls. Service tends to be slow. Very nice but the Hayloft needs to start getting with the program. They need to start having employees to clean. Food takes pretty much forever. I don't understand why it takes an hour for a pizza. Ice cream takes a while. But it's good though. That's the only reason it's 3 stars. read more

Hayloft is amazing. There's always great service. The place is always kept clean and took care of. The ice cream is amazing even though there's a lot of it. read more

Not really sure why this place is so beloved. It's kind of over priced and it's not like they make the ice cream, so I'm at a loss to explain the premium. It's fine, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

Once not even a thought in mind, Hayloft has since become one of my most significant unforgotten experiences. Every item on the menu comes with a dash of nostalgia and a hint of excitement. A little late to the show, I visited this rom-com styled ice cream parlor back in 2016. On the verge of leaving my hometown of 18 years for college, I wanted to make my final memory of the summer a memorable one. I journeyed 45+ minutes through the empty, but inviting, country roads of southern Michigan in a 2008 Hyundai Elantra with 2 of my best friends. With nothing but time on our hands, our youthful and innocent spirits were ready for the treat of a lifetime. Typically, our stop for a quick dairy desert was the local DQ (not ideal). I was sick of the usual routine of entering a restaurant filled with frowning employees, artificially crafted sugar, and awkward conversations between high school couples where the most captivating lines spoken are, "How is your Blizzard (that I used my moms credit card to buy)? I can't believe you chose that flavor. Ha Ha." My buddy, being the devoted hipster he is, suggested Hayloft, a hidden gem way out where the only worry is making sure there's enough beer, cigarettes, and girls with crooked teeth and sleeve tattoos to last the weekend. Not needing a hefty persuasion by any means, my other friend and I quickly agreed. To keep things relatively short, I'll cut to my time within the confines of the establishment. Each of us gave into the temptation from the food challenger voice that lives inside us and decided on the Brownie Bucket...full size. Typically, a shared family desert, we all decided on one for each us. At the time, we were all 18. Our metabolism was just as high as the local, Catholic high school lacrosse players hanging as a team in one their parents' $600,000 home basement after a big win against a rival school or as the kid who substitutes going to a party on a Friday night to play FIFA in his room alone instead. Our bodies, as well as our minds, were ready to take on this enormous feat. Weighing upwards to 15 pounds, I knew I had an extremely tough task ahead of me. I had to convince myself that this 3000+ calorie pleasure meal was worth losing the bottom row of my carefully carved and crafted 6-pack for. I dove into the bowl head first with no regards for any manners. Again, this is in the town where tobacco dip is part of the food pyramid, so good manners were the furthest thing from my cares. Taking in bites faster than a group of white sorority girls with a plain, only cheese, pizza at 3 a.m. after a pairing with the Delts, I knew nothing would slow me down and that I WOULD conquer this lactose intolerants' nightmare that laid in front of me. Eventually, though sad to confess, I was not able to overcome the punch sized bowl of ice cream, brownies, and whip cream. To be honest, I cannot recall if my friends did either. What has stuck with me though is each bite I took in. Filled with pasteurized (hopefully) ice cream and rich, chocolatey brownie, DQ and any other parlor for that matter could never do me justice again. I came for the ice cream and left with the everlasting thought in my mind of how fun of a night that was. Yes, you can come (and should come) for the ice cream, but I promise that you will leave with more than just minor gas from the dairy within your stomach. You will leave with an intimate experience with the people you love and, also, with the opportunity to brag to anyone you know about the time you got to enjoy the unmatched creamy delight of a desert at Hayloft. read more

Drove 40 minutes so my mom could get an ice cream cone for mother's day. Was greeted by a snotty teenage girl, with some of the worst customer service skills I have ever encountered. Their ice cream is good, but not good enough to put up with this kind of customer service. I will not be back. read more

Went there last year was really disappointed I grew up going to this place took my grandson there for his birthday and was treated very cruel and racist slurs were made towards us we left read more

I have nothing positive to say about my experience at the hayloft. For starters, after I placed my order the girl that was handing out orders got an attitude with a customer and then he asked for a refund and told them to keep their ice cream bc of the girl's attitude. Secondly, my party of 6 then waited 1 hour and 3 mins ( yes we kept a stopwatch going bc of a previous experience). And then at 9:15 the manager locked the doors and my 7 month pregnant friend wasn't allowed to use their bathroom even though we were paying customers. We gave the hayloft a second chance but because of their terrible customer service and the 1 hour and 3 min wait. We definitely will not be coming back! read more

Hayloft - This is the amount of time it took to get my ice cream! Unacceptable!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Decatur, Michigan

We dove quite a ways for this place, we heard the ice cream was good and the sizes were huge, first off they didn't have any of the yogurt that they said they had and didn't know the difference between yogurt and sugar free ice cream... we ended up getting a baby cone for our son at just under $3.00, It was big for being called a baby cone, not huge, but a full large scoop of ice cream, however I do wish they would have had a smaller size with a smaller price, for the little ones. I ordered a almost $5.00 waffle cone that while being on the bigger size for a small was not big compared to the price.(anywhere you go a cone that size would cost you less) It was very freezer burned..eww read more

I love the hayloft. I grew up goin there, but I only order their icecream. I never tried their other items on the menu. But WOW they give a person ALOT of ice cream! It's good too. The ice cream I usually get is the brownie Sunday. It comes in this huge pretty glass bowl that looks like a goblet. With huge chunks of brownies. Plus the scenery there is very pretty and relaxing, because it's out in the country. It's a nice family place to take the kids to or would make a nice daytime date where a couple can relax. read more
