Reliable walk up midwestern ice cream. I love the eclectic menu that never seems to change. There's definitely something for everyone here. Staff is always kind and welcoming and it never takes that long. I see them working hard. Seating area is always decorated with annual or perennial flowers, it adds a nice front porch feel. I've tried the soft serve, hand dip, and flurries. Parfaits are my best friend's personal favorite. Love coming here.
In 2006, I used to take my dog Marko to Mark-O's Ice Cream Time and called it "his" ice cream place. Many years later, we take any number of pups (and ourselves) to Ice Cream Time, blissfully ignoring various other ice cream stops along the way, from Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti. My favorite is a bit basic (but not to me!)- a twist cone, dipped in butterscotch shell, inside a chocolate and peanut dipped sugar cone. Absolutely perfect, no other place has anything like it. Wait times are never long, their service is efficient. And you have to love the interesting locals who are there waiting and willing to chit chat with you. We particularly like the milkshake lady, who gets hers every night and calls the owner "Skeeball!" Highly recommend. The Flurries are mixed correctly (not too overloaded like they are at -choke- King Kone in Garden City) with the add-ons like peanut butter cups and chocolate chip cookie dough. The mix is right on and the cone will last almost the entire time without ending up on your shirt. Very important! The dip is not too thick and has a satisfyingly light crunch to it, without cracks for the ice cream to melt through. He has stayed open until Thanksgiving in years past but of course, this is the owner's purview. Go here instead of whatever the heck that is which happened to Mickey's (RIP the real Saline Mickey's- at least the Westland one still exists), DQ and Frosty Joey.
I went here around 5pm and there was no line. The service was very quick and very friendly. The menu was a little difficult to read since we had around 5 different menus posted around the building. The ice cream overall was good. Lots of seating for you to eat your ice cream outside in the sun or the shade. Great little shop.
This business has been here for years and they are still the sweetest people. They have an extensive menu and I was so satisfied that I was able to get exactly what I wanted in my ice cream. I felt like a little kid in a nostalgic way when they gave me my ice cream and asked me how it looked. The only thing I didn't like was the outside was a bit chaotic since there was no social distancing and people gathering around the front.
This place is so nice and delivers exactly what I wanted, a hot brownie in cold ice cream on a warm summer day. Beyond underrated I'm not sure why people haven't come here more and why the lines aren't packed
Adorable ice cream stand. Have lots of options to order on their menu. There is a lot of friendly people outside the stand as we waited for our ice cream. You can bring your dog here. I ordered a s'more flurry it was good.

Ice Cream Time is such a cute little hole-in-the-wall spot, and honestly those are usually the best ones. I loved that they were literally writing the orders down on paper -- it just added to the whole old-school, local feel. I got the pumpkin cinnamon roll flavor and it was DELICIOUS. Definitely a little hidden gem! read more

Very nostalgic soft serve ice cream spot! Tons of options, great prices, super friendly service! If you're nearby it's worth a stop to support a local business! read more
What a cute little spot!! Feels very nostalgic and "old school." The service is great - I think I was served by a high schooler who was super polite and sweet. The menu was slightly overwhelming as there are a lot of options! The different items are all over the walls of the building. We all enjoyed our ice cream and would return! read more

Cute little ice cream stand in Ypsi with a ton of options, flavor combinations, and more. Soft serve is king here IMO but they also have hand dipped flavors if you want something along those lines. With the soft serve option, you can choose from a myriad of sundaes, flurries, shakes, and "glaciers" (slushes mixed with soft serve--yum!). I went with the tin roof sundae (chocolate sauce, peanuts, and soft serve) and my husband went with a cherry shake. Both were delicious and the perfect treat on a warm day. The gentleman who helped us, who I assume is the owner, was a delight. So friendly and helpful. I watched him interact with other customers and he was just a joy to observe. Loved our experience here and can't wait for future visits! read more

Ice Cream time is the only ice cream place near my house that's not a chain like Dairy Queen, so they tend to get my business. The tip jar on the walk up window says its "The College Fund." The employees who work there do look like local kids, and I'm happy to support them. A sign on the window says they now take debit and credit cards. On a recent visit, I got the small Turtlette Flurry. I thought nearly $3 was expensive for small until I saw the small mountain of ice cream I was receiving. I don't know why anybody would need a medium since a small is almost one and a half cups of ice cream. Mine was mixed with piece of chocolate shell, chopped pecans, and butterscotch sauce. The girl at the window said some people ask for caramel to be substituted for the butterscotch and offered to do so for me, but I declined. The building itself is kind of fun, with a big old-fashioned sign. They make an effort to provide shady seating with benches along one side, and picnic tables under an overhang in the front. However, this particular part of Ecorse Road isn't really all that scenic. You'll mostly find neighborhood kids walking up to buy a cone and then strolling off to do whatever it is kids do on summer vacation these days. read more

Great family owned business. Staff is friendly and always smiling. Lots of choices and they're all great. You get more for a better price than at DQ or other ice cream shops. read more
