DeBoer sundae without whipped cream and cherry and caramel added
Andrew C.

When it comes to ice cream places, you basically just need to not mess anything up and your good to go. This place had the biggest line I've seen (nearly to the corner) which wasn't unexpected for a Saturday night but they got through it very quickly and we were in line maybe 10 min. They get things done quickly and are used to the rushes. They have a very extensive menu with soft serves, Hudsonville ice cream, dairy free options, sundaes, shakes and speciality kids treats... so the options are endless. Just make sure you have CASH with you so you can enjoy, no cards. Great stop for a treat and prices and portions seem comparable. Our family of 4 spent $24. There are plenty of spots to sit with your groups; tables in back and benches in front and on the side. Also a bike rack for those riding into town.

A very happy ice cream eater!

Every time I visit relatives in Byron Center, we go to Houseman's. I'm partial to the Coffee Lover flavor, but on this visit, I had their Peach ice cream for the first time. It was creamy with little tiny bits of peach. It was sublime and I am determined to return every day until I depart for San Francisco, where there is no shortage of great ice cream, e.g., Mitchell's, Bi-Rite and Humphrey Slocombe. But I have yet to get peach ice cream any better than this. Houseman's is exactly the neighborhood spot where you stroll up to the window and sit outside with your cone or sundae and taste summer in a range of flavors. Service is friendly and speedy unless you hold things up trying to decide what you want.

Houseman's Ice Cream Welcome to this neighborhood, family-friendly ice cream shop! Not only is their patio space so cute and perfect for enjoying a sweet treat, but their menu is also filled with so many fun creations! They offer a variety of sundaes that are seriously irresistible! They also serve up an AMAZING almond milk based soft serve!

Cherry glacier

Stopped in here after walking 10.5 miles along the Kent trail. A sweet little treat to end the day. I went with a cherry glacier, cherry slush is topped with a scoop of light vanilla soft serve. I was really excited about the slush, but finding out that I could add ice cream to it made my day! There is plenty of seating located behind the shop and a very large parking lot. The drinking fountain in the back is a great addition, and must save them from constantly getting people little cups of water.

Great place for ice cream! Portions are larger than normal so a medium shake could pass for a large. There were about a dozen flavors of hand dipped ice cream and even more flavors for soft serve. The salted caramel was amazing.

Great place to take a 5 and 8 year old. Wonderful selection of high end ice creams. No indoor dining but lots of fun.

Good ice cream and friendly staff, but the ice cream is very overpriced.

They are a good place to have ice cream they sell some food I believe. Just a bit overprice but it's worth it!
