Visited this place as a part of the tour we had during our conference event. Last stop, but definitely worth going back. I tried their sample ice cream flavors we had as a part of the tour, and the ice cream was quite creamy and they had interesting flavors. However when I went back I tried their sundae, I like the s'mores sundae which had nice powdered gram crackers , and I really loved the fudge. Most places I leave disappointed because it's more of a sauce or a syrup in the name of fudge but this was thick and gooey, perfect for the sundae

Excellent service and flavors. Just a perfect location and great summer ice cream stop.

DoorDashed this last night, too. I had a hankering for something cold and sweet. I did not know what is in the Michigan Pothole, but Google mentioned it being a chocolate lover's dream, so I ordered it. It's black-tar fudge swirl with chunks of chocolate. It's really, really good! I plan to rate the DoorDash driver a 0 once I checkout and get to the airport. The DoorDash driver did not deliver this to my room (it's on the first floor near the lobby), instead it was delivered at the front lobby without any word to front desk. Horrible! But delicious ice cream! What a treat after a long week!

A great local ice cream spot! We stopped in late afternoon on a weekday, there was a small line but it moved quickly. We were able to try some samples and I got a small (2 scoops) with lavender honey and Mackinaw Island fudge. It was delicious! My friend got a sundae and that looked good too. I love how many Michigan based flavors they have. The staff were friendly, helpful, and quick. There's a few indoor seating spots. The prices were also very reasonable for A2. Highly recommend!

Michigan Creamery is serving up homemade ice cream and located right across from U of M. You can see lots of local shops and stores- including some really cool antique shops You can choose from all different types of rotating flavors. Their lavender honey was so creamy with just the right touch of flavor to it. If you like citrusy flavors, the orange sorbet would be a great choice too! Unfortunately they didn't have the key lime flavor we were looking for but that just gives us another excuse to be back The workers were all very friendly and there was plenty of indoor seating. The walls had lots of scribbles and signatures, definitely giving that college town vibe. Would be a great place to hang out around campus!

Lavender honey and sea salt turtle

We finished the seoul and wanted something sweet so came here Ice cream: Creamy and flavor is quite on point. Not too sweet, subtle flavor, nothing over power. Scoop size pretty good My husband and I really like the texture of it. It's on a thicker side, not quickly melting, it's more tightly stick together?! But we really like it. We were more surprised that it tastes better than some other hyped stores around Ann Arbor. We got Lavender honey and sea salt turtle. I personally loved anything with Lavender and hates fake Lavender taste, but this tastes quite good! I highly recommend! So far my top fav with Lavender flavors are from salt and straw and a specific lavender farm in California. My husband likes sea salt turtle, he said it's not like other places where the saltines is emphasized, but it is subtle and balanced. Service: the worker was a bit tired but fulfilled all our requests of trying 6 different flavors The ambience is casual andike a mom and pop store vibe, nothing fancy or cool, just an ice cream shop shop style, nothing special. I would recommend this as a more quiet date stop if you just want to casually know someone and nothing serious. Extra: We didn't try, but they have a free sprinkle section! Feel free to try

Super long line for some ice cream. There are a lot of unique flavors but it's comparable to a less creamy version of Kilwin's.

Love the variety and uniqueness in flavors! The lavender honey was unexpectedly really good, very subtle lavender taste.

Even an Arctic current barreling through Ann Arbor would never stop a true Michigander from having a scoop of good ice cream. Well, I'm not a true Michigander. I'm just a Michigander by marriage as Jamie W. is true blue, but I have my own dairy needs, too. Right on the edge of campus is this old-school ice cream parlor with handmade chocolates for sale as well as scoops of decadent creaminess. It's the type of place that serves frozen yogurt out of cardboard containers, not oozing out of a spigot at the discretion of my handle prowess. That's what Jamie and I went for, no sugar added be damned. The small cups were only $3.25 each. Jamie went for straight-ahead Chocolate (photo: http://bit.ly/2KNsVFB), while I chose the Blueberry Vanilla since swirls flatter me (photo: http://bit.ly/2QNJEMR). Satisfying indeed. Go Blue! FROYO - 4 stars...a richer froyo but who's complaining? AMBIANCE - 3 stars...old-timey but in a good way SERVICE - 2.5 stars...a bit harried for Wolverines TOTAL - 4 stars...Go Blue!

Strawberry cheesecake junior size in waffle cone

I had high expectations for Michigan Creamery after seeing raving reviews and yes, the ice cream was very good. I got the strawberry cheesecake flavor and it was rich and very yummy, but the service was just not up-to-par with previous reviews I read. Two young women stood around chatting instead of helping customers, two of which made up a very cute older couple who seemed to be back in Ann Arbor for the big Michigan-Wisconsin football game. They were on their phones and had a few "oh, I should ask this customer if they want something" epiphanies and then they went back to socializing. Portion-wise, I got the junior size and it was very large! Good bang for your buck there. Also, on a side note, the bathroom is in the back and was not very clean.

This place is my go to ice cream shop when I visit Ann Arbor! Yesterday we were there during the Art Fair. The store was well staffed with attentive and extremely friendly workers. I got the Michigan pothole ice cream, which was phenomenal! You can't go wrong with stopping in at Michigan Creamery when you're in downtown Ann Arbor!

Formerly Stucci's, Michigan Creamery is a great treat if you're downtown in Ann Arbor. Not sure why the name changed but the ice cream is still just as tasty and reliable as Stucci's was for all those years. They're open later (to 11) on weekends, which makes it a great post dinner/before a late movie dessert, which is exactly what my husband and I did last weekend. Came in around 9pm after a meal down the street and we each got a small bite of something sweet before hitting a flick at the State theatre. It was perfect! Hand dipped ice cream is the standard here but they do have soft serve if you would prefer. I was into the idea of soft serve so I ordered the peanut butter cup sundae in a mini size. It's vanilla soft serve topped with hot fudge, peanut butter sauce, and a Reese's peanut butter cup. When she handed me my sundae I was kind of disappointed because the mini was WAY more mini that I had anticipated, but the fudge and peanut butter were so rich that it was actually the perfect amount. If you want a larger serving though, go for the large. My husband, also feeling a peanut butter and chocolate combo, got a small scoop of the sundae basically in hand dipped form. He was also really into it. It was fairly crowded for a Saturday night but the employees were with it and kept the line moving quickly. Turn over is pretty fast here so we had no trouble finding a seat, although it was standing room only when we left.

The flavor was bright and refreshing, with just the right amount of lavender. It tasted distinctive without being overpowering.

Blank Slate has a wonderful selection of creative flavors that feel a little more special than what you find at a typical ice cream shop. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in Ann Arbor, especially for the lemon lavender.

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 !!

There's about 8 desserts and a "dessert of the day" to make it extra difficult for you to pick. So we went for two desserts and a port flight: *Toffee Blondie Sundae (Warm Coconut-Pecan-Butterscotch Blondie Topped With Vanilla Ice Cream | Oat Streusel | White Chocolate | and Rum Toffee Sauce Poured Tableside) - mmm rummy rum. I feel like if you like Rum Raisin ice cream, you'd like the flavors of this! It was pretty decadent but not in a chocolate-y way. I couldn't stop eating it! *Brown Butter Lemon Bar - this was the dessert of the day. Loved that it was topped with ample fresh berries and wasn't too sweet. The toasted merginue-y whip was a really nice touch too! They also had a tasty looking boozy coffee beverage, which looked bomb but we were too full!

This shop is located across the street from UM campus in one of the busier and more appealing commercial areas in Ann Arbor. On this stop, I'll note that the service was up to B&J's standard and the prices were what I would expect. My wife and I generally split a two-scoop cup when we visit an ice cream establishment in order to moderate calories and conserve cost, but mostly to allow for us to sample more than one flavor at a time. It also allows us to experiment a little with mixing complementary flavors. On this trip, we mixed an old favorite with a different option (for us). Chunky Monkey is a longstanding favorite for us but Tonight Dough was a new revelation. It's been around since 2015 but we have never tried it. Created in collaboration with Jimmy Fallon, it is a mix of chocolate and caramel with chocolate cookie swirls, chocolate chip cookie dough and peanut butter cookie dough. It pairs well with the wonderful banana flavor in Chunky Monkey. It was indeed a treat. I'll look forward to trying this combination again. I'll also look forward to my next trip to the UM area to make another stop at this particular shop.
