My husband and family have been going here for years the encounter that we experience today I pray no one has to go through. While waiting in line per usual a lady walks up directly to my car. Not in a nice matter directing me to pull up. No apron I don't know who she is. After I asked her to tell the car ahead to pull up. She stated she asked me previously to do so I did pull up, I guess I didn't pull up far enough for her. I stated have a good day. I mean it's Mother's Day why was she so angry? She then went on to tell me she has a right to refuse to service. And for what? I don't want to say why I really think this lady refuse to service my family. My children wanted to take mom out for ice cream. The younger girls are always so nice and professional every time, my husband and I always tip them as well. I asked the lady for her name she tells me; I'm the OWNER!!! BYE!! and closes the window in my face. read more

Love this place. Everyone has their town staple ice cream shop. This ones ours. Started off as the place where your friends' sisters worked and maybe hooked you up with a free ice cream. A place where at any given time in the summer there's a line of cars spilling out onto Wayne road. Then the day came when it was open all year round and that was it. Game, set, match to Dairy Dan. We now have all year to fight the urge to pull in, instead of just the summertime. As far as the ice cream goes, it's awesome. Portions are big, if you're into that. Nice thing about this place is the little things. Like if you get a flurry it's FULLY mixed up, not half assed mixed. The shakes are made right, not too thick but not too thinned out. They don't skimp out on the toppings or flurry mix in's. Whatever you order it's always well put together. To me that matters. read more

Waited in the drive thru for 15 mins before someone came to service us while the cars in front as well as behind received greetings and their orders brought to their car windows. After someone did ask about our order they then told us to drive to the window we can grab it there we sat and waited patiently to get to the window but one employee was having a very casual, long conversation hanging in the window to the car front of us creating an even longer line. We then saw someone coming out with our order she stopped at the door and proceeded to talk to another Dairy Dan girl, turned around and went back inside. 7 more mins passed a different girl brought the same order out and handed to us then Another employee (I'm assuming she was management because she was a lot older than the other girls) Yells out to us to go to the window next time so we won't hold up their line all the while their worker that was talking to the car in front of us was STILL hanging in their window continuing her conversation. I have never used the race card but yes I am black and yes everyone else were white even if these workers were just born and raised ignorant and never taught proper customer service I will never be back or recommend this location read more

Service is not great here, in fact it can be a bit argumentative. I actually had to sit there arguing with some woman who insisted she gave me the right order when clearly she did not. Ummm hello, shakes are melting for the people behind us right in front of my eyes, just give me my correct order please and stop with the attitude. We sat there for quite awhile in fact, ruining not only my experience but a couple cars behind me as they put a sundae up to melt as we continued debating. Holding up traffic, causing honking horns and backups on Wayne. At some point she actually made a comment about well it was only a dollar or so anyway. Hmmmm. So give me what I ordered instead of wasting more ice cream lady... Besides when one can only have sweets in small quantities every so often you want what you freaking want and when you do not get it, yep it sucks. I am not eating what I did not order. At some point I demanded my order or my money back, period, so she threw the money at us. Yeah guess who will not be back? read more

We drive from Farmington Hills just to go to Dairy Dan. It has never disappointed in quality of service or ice cream. The convenience of the drive-thru is not the only reason we love Dairy Dan. When you think of drive-thru you realize that you are going to sit in line, but even when there are cars ahead of you the employees come out to your car and take your order. Once you get to the window to pay your order is ready to go! The ice cream is better than Dairy Queen and the service and convenience are awesome. read more

I usually have a great experience at this place. The workers are normally friendly and the ice cream is always worth the wait. However, this last visit was so awful it was worth the update to my last review. I ordered the "flurry of the month" and the girl forgot an ingredient in it and I made that known to her with absolutely zero tone in my voice, I wasn't even bothered by it all that much- people forget things, it happens. It would have been fine if she had offered to fix it, instead she actually shrugged her shoulders and gave me a face that said, "well, what am I going to do about it?" I didn't know how to react, people aren't usually That blatantly rude so I just walked away. That's when I heard her make a snide remark to the customer behind me, "I can't make what you don't order". Okay. One, I DID order it, you messed up. Two, there was absolutely NO reason for you to be that rude. It was humiliating in front of all those people. Tip- if you have a customer that has a problem and was very kind about it, you try and help them, not shrug your shoulders and let them go on their way in that fashion. I was a regular, I won't be coming back now. read more

There was an option to add whipped cream and marshmallows but I opted out. The cocoa was excellent - delightfully chocolatey and definitely spicy - it definitely had a kick. I would order again in a heartbeat - maybe it's a good thing for my body that I don't live that close to Plymouth. They also have a nice array of chocolates, very similar to classic chocolate shops. I bought a couple of dark chocolate covered cherries and dark chocolate honeycomb chips for my mother and she loved them and she can normally be very picky about these type of chocolates. She said they were very fresh and the cherry flavor of the chocolate covered cherries was excellent. These were probably her favorite chocolates she's had in the last ten years or so. Alpine Chocolate Haus was definitely a winner and we'll be back whenever we're in Plymouth.

Literally the most unprofessional business I've encountered. I made an honest respectful review (attached below) based solely on my experience and observation, no bashing no slandering. The owner and manager then took to Facebook to try to bash and slander my character - https://www.facebook.com/share/1BRhpX7Qd1/?mibextid=wwXIfr It's very disappointing to see. Instead of taking the feedback, reflecting, and moving forward, they chose to create even more drama. As a business, your response to criticism says everything. This just confirmed exactly why I felt the need to speak up in the first place. Do better! Very disgusting way to act Dairy Dan, very distasteful. read more

Absolutely horrible experience at this ice cream shop. The owner, Julie, was extremely rude, unprofessional, and disrespectful from the moment we arrived. We were refused service for absolutely no valid reason, and instead of handling the situation professionally, she continued to harass us even after refusing to serve our car. She repeatedly walked up to our vehicle in an aggressive manner and even slammed the drive-thru window in my face. I have never been treated so poorly by a business owner before. Customer service clearly does not matter here. I would not recommend supporting this place at all.!!!! read more

I recently visited Dairy Dan Ice Cream Custard Shop and had an amazing experience! The Waffle Nachos & Ice Cream were a hit - crispy waffle pieces with rich, creamy ice cream and perfect toppings. It was an ideal treat to share with the family. We also appreciated the outside benches, which provided a lovely spot to enjoy our treats in the fresh air. The benches were clean and comfortable, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere of the shop. The staff were friendly and made our visit even more enjoyable. read more

I visited dairy Dan 6/1/18 Friday night... was VERY GROSSED OUT that they have somebody not only working there, but taking and preparing food with the most ugliest HERPES SORE that has busted open on her lip! My boyfriends and I were so turned off, that we threw out food way! We wont be back ever again! read more

There's plenty of space inside to sit and enjoy your food/drinks, and it seems like there are several community events held here based on the flyers I saw (Easter Bunny, Speed Friending, etc.). There's even a private event space that's available for rent. We were greeted soon after we arrived and had a chance to look around. We ordered the Bananas Foster and Caramel Toffee Cappuccino shakes. I was very impressed with the time and care that was put into our shakes; they were picture perfect, and they tasted amazing! I'll definitely keep this place in mind when I want a treat in the future.

This is the best ice cream place I've ever been It's like a…read moreclassier better version of a salt & straw. That's all I needed was to find more amazing ice cream in Michigan that I can't take home with me. I'm also never in Ann Arbor so that doesn't help I tried fresh basil ice cream. It was drizzled with lemon olive oil. The most amazing and unique flavors. They have butterfly moon, not blue moon. While blue moon tastes like fruity pebbles, butterfly moon tastes exactly like froot loops and is even the color the milk turns when you have a bowl. Service was friendly and didn't mind us trying lots of samples. How can you not when they're all so amazing and unique !!

I've only been here once so far, but it was really good overall. I tried the salty caramel coffee…read moreand that flavor was genuinely incredible. Definitely the standout for me. I also got the double dark chocolate, which was decent but a little more lackluster than I expected. They have a huge variety of flavors though and it definitely feels like the kind of place you need to come back to multiple times to really explore the menu. Every time I walk by there's basically a line around the block, so clearly people love it. Thankfully when I actually went, the service moved pretty quickly. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to try more flavors.
