My favorite ice cream spot in Michigan. Staff are always friendly and the line moves quick. Flavors are incredibly good, creative, rich. Last few times I've gotten the cherry amaretto the last few times, which is an exceptional icecream. The Mackinac island flavors are always stellar as well. Love this spot! read more

I have dropped my rating by half a star. My husband and I were very put off because there was a new server and when we asked if we could sample a flavor she very abruptly told us 'no'. Not sure if that truly was policy or if she just didn't want to do it. Either way, it is not good service to not allow customers to sample flavors, and to have to purchase something they might not like. A full scoop of ice cream is too much to pay when one wants to try something new... read more

I don't live in Michigan anymore but pretty much every visit home to see friends and family includes a stop by Stroh's. This ice cream parlor brings back all of the feels from growing up and going for ice cream. They also now carry retro candy, frozen yogurt, and so much more... On my recent visit, I called my dad when I landed DTW and I asked him if he had any special requests that I could bring him in the nursing home where he currently resides. His response: "a vanilla sundae with peanut butter cups." I knew just the place and was warmly greeted by Paul himself (I think). Sure enough, my dad was pleased with his Sundae. I was pleased with the experience and will definitely be back. If you are seeking a sweet treat, support this local biz and go enjoy Stroh's! read more

Stroh's Ice Cream Parlour - Just some of the flavors available at this adorable ice cream/ fro yo store - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

It's Stroh's Ice Cream. What else do you need to know? All that you could want: nice staff, many flavors, spectacular formica. And who doesn't appreciate spectacular formica. It's an institution; long may it wave. read more

Don't do it! The ice cream looked old and I really should have left but I ordered a single scoop cone. It tasted old and spoiled. The ice cream had freezer burn crystals and just tasted off. read more

Our favorite ice cream store since we moved to Michigan in 1970. The ice cream is perfect, smooth, rich and with great flavors. Come to think of it, we are going to be there this weekend. It wouldn't be Labor Day Weekend without our trip to Stroh's. read more

I went to school right down the road during the 70's, and Stroh's was one of the primary hang outs for me and my friends. For years, our bikes could be found out in front. (I probably had hundreds of Frozen Cokes). I was back in Birmingham recently, and I stopped in for Ice Cream with my wife. I was AMAZED to find Paul still there, ice cream scooper in hand, after 50 years! It was like time had stood still. We chatted about old friends who used to work there and I got a picture with him. Great ice cream, and great memories. read more

Stopped by Stroh's for the first time a few weeks ago and had a great experience! It's the first Ice Cream spot I've been to since the start of the pandemic, so I wasn't really sure what to expect... but they make it pretty easy! When you arrive at the store, you'll notice a sign that explains their limit for how many people can be inside the store at one time. As a result, there's a fairly persistent line outside the door, of groups waiting to enter and pick out their ice cream. Once inside, there's a flow for how to go through the room, and create an orderly direction for people to move in and out. You'll notice that there's plexiglass between the customer areas and the ice cream areas, to maximize safety and sanitation as well. The quality of the ice cream is solid, and I'm sure there's plenty to be said about the various flavors. I tried the Superman and Scoopy Doo: both good flavors, but I'd definitely go for Scoopy Doo again next time (I think I have grown out of the Superman Ice Cream stage of my life!). Outside of the pandemic-related modifications, Stroh's still looks like a classic Ice Cream shop inside -- you can tell that some of the decor really has been around for decades! The interior has a great vibe, and I'm certainly looking forward to returning someday when it's safe to eat inside the building! Currently the tables outside the building are open and provide a great venue to enjoy the ice cream, while maintaining a good distance from the other customers. Overall, great experience at Stroh's! read more

I dont really eat ice cream on the regular. Maybe twice a year. However, when I eat ice cream, I choose chocolate. This was my first time here today and orderd a scoop of Michigan pothole. Chocolate ice cream, chocolate truffles and some other chocolate bits. Yum! The ice cream is creamy, smoothe, luscious and delicious. I see why it was so busy. The price for 1 scoop was around $4. A great treat for after dinner. read more

Decent business. Ice cream is usually good, if a bit freezer burned. Expensive. Service is usually very good and is the highlight of the business. Feel of business adds to the experience. read more

Great place, have gone for years. Friendly old school ice cream shop. Hand packed cone and ice cream pies.

Incredible place. Fast service, excellent selection of candy and ice cream. We went after a flag football game at Detroit Country day and had a great time. read more

This place is GREAT! Got a mocha almond shake which was delicious. TIP: Just ask for it extra cold ;) during COVID there is nothing to do- but this little ice cream shop will make you happy. Enjoy! read more

40 years ago I started coming here when I was little-- Paul owned the store then and was always there when I was growing up. Incredible memories of this place- Icees, hockey cards, football cards, baseball cards, all kinds of gum, candy, I remember when they got the first yogurt machines... Superman Ice Cream and of course... Blue Moon ice cream, it's a Midwestern delicacy. If you haven't had blue moon ice cream with marshmallow sauce topping you have not lived. Yes it will cause an insulin infusion, but the combination is sublime. This place is exactly how I remembered it 30-40 years ago. Stroh's ice cream parlour is a generational thing for many Birmingham and Bloomfield folks. It was heaps cool to see many kids eating ice cream outside, just like I did when I was younger. Another bucket list item for anyone wanting to get a real feel of Michigan... while your at it, get a Vernor's float! read more

Ice cream was very good but while eating, halfway through I saw a short dark brown hair in my ice cream. The man who served us had brown hair. Too bad since the ice cream was delicious. Also, our server was a little rude to us and didn't listen to what we were trying to say. read more

Stroh's Ice Cream Parlour - Ice cream with hair in it - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

We loved this adorable, retro ice cream parlor that has been around since 1965! I love the old-fashioned vibes and the bright, fun colors. There had to be at least 30 flavors of ice cream! We went at around 9 o'clock on a we day in the middle of the summer and it had a really fun family vibe. We got one double scoop in a waffle cone bowl dipped in chocolate with sprinkles. We were able to pick two different flavors for the double scoop, one caramel Caribou and one coffee. Caramel Caribou was delicious and very Carmely! The coffee was very smooth. We also got a single scoop of vanilla for my grandma which she loved and totally devoured! The owner Paul was very sweet and friendly. He made a point to say hi to my mom and grandma. I love the feeling of community in this well-established ice cream parlor. read more

My daughter, who was 11 years old at the time, went with her class to buy ice cream. I gave her $20 that morning, she came back with change for a $10. We went back later and the manager actually told my daughter and husband that she was lying. The manager did nothing but embarrass my daughter and make her feel like she did something wrong. Instead of offering to count the register to see if there were overages or talk to their employee, he just called her a liar. So very sad. He left a terrible impression on my daughter. We will never visit this place again! read more

This is a great hidden gem. I've lived in this area for a long time and I didn't even realize it was tucked away in this little strip. It's like going back in time. The owners have kept it up for over 40 years and they're great love taking my kids here! read more

I had a pick up order that I went in for, that was handled terribly. I assumed it was ready which was my fault for doing. The owner asked if I needed help and I said I had a pick up order. After I said that the owner got hostile with me. He said it wasn't ready and when I asked how long the wait would be, he replied "it will be ready when it's ready" . I really don't understand why it was handled like that. He could have just said it's not ready yet and it shouldn't be much longer. But he actually got mad at me. I'm really confused on the confrontation I wasn't being rude and I didn't ask with an attitude. I just said I was there to pick the order up. I won't be going back here and I'm recommending to the people I know that they don't ether. read more

Spectacular ice cream, fabulous, friendly service and impeccably clean. We will definitely return.

I visited the parlour this past week. The staff was nice and helpful. It has a really cool interior decor. It's been around since 1964 and makes you feel like ur in that same time zone. I ordered a banana shake and my friend ordered a chocolate shake. Both were delicious. Definitely must check it out! read more

This is a neighborhood ice cream and sweet shop that all the locals go to. Convenient, has all the flavors you want, and a nice outdoor eating area. Nothing else in the nearby area like it. It's an old school classic vibe ice cream shop. There's not a lot of ice cream choices in the area except for chains. You can head to Woodward but that's far. The place is owned/run by 2 guys that works in the place all the time and knows all the regulars. The other reviews complain about the kids, the rich kids, and the sugar high kids. What else do you expect in this neighborhood? It's a bedroom community with a upper middle income demographic. People move here for schools and bigger homes to raise their kids. read more

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore- But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again- ah, Ahmad and 1994. stroh's was the peach pit of ice cream shops for elementary and middle schoolers alike. After soccer and softball games, or school recitals everyone went to stroh's. They had the best chocolate malts I had ever tasted. it was bangin'. it wasn't cheap before, but now I feel it's a little pricey for what you're getting. If you don't want your malt to be liquefied you have to ask for it extra thick- that'll cost you my friend. If you want to be able to taste the malt, you have to order extra malt- that will also cost you. I had been a die hard customer for years, the 2 men that owned it used to say hi and chat it up with me when I'd visit. Now all i get a blank stare and now mention of back in the day... It seems to be lacking fun. (Dear Stroh's, if you are reading this, please bring fun back) read more

Stroh's Ice Cream Parlour - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

This is actually a review of the Stroh's Ice Cream brand. They used to be a premium brand, but no more. For instance, their Moosetracks ice cream now has way too much vanilla and way too little chocolate/peanut butter! It's obvious if you buy a half gallon, open it, and look inside. Some of Stroh's competitors have maintained their rich products. read more

ATTENTION!!: Don't come here. My step daughter was given a job, was verbally abused for her first 7 hours of work, quit, and wasn't given a dime for her work. They verbally abused her about not doing something right as a new employee. She came home crying and sobbing because the old man behind the counter yelled at her for 2 hours non stop. Do not come here, the abusive store-owners do not deserve a dime. read more

The WORST! Miserly sized "scoops" at ridiculously inflated B'ham/Bloomfield Hills prices. Just inexcusable and will never return. Surprised anyone would frequent this place when there are so many competing ice cream shops pretty much on every corner. Vote with your feet. Note to owner: You should be embarrassed. read more

We walked into Stroh's today and it was a blast from my childhood past. I haven't been in here since high school and the same guy that I remember seeing behind the counter, co-owner Paul Scott, was right where he should be, scooping ice cream for the kids and the kids at heart. The place is the same as it ever was but updated to include frozen yogurt for the health conscious and free Wifi for the geeks in all of us. You really feel like a sock hop could break out at any time. They serve Stroh's, Guernsey's, and Sander's Ice Cream and have a plethora of nostalgic candy. I went with my childhood favorite, chocolate chip on a sugar cone. And you know what? I felt like a kid all over again. Except this time I was on a mini-date with my husband. It is a bit spendy at $6 for two single cones but if that's what it takes to keep this local place in business that's OK by me. Next time I think I'll have a Blue Moon. Or Superman. Guess I'll make it a double. read more

The worst blizzard ice cream I have ever tasted! I asked for Reese's Peanut Butter chunks to blend with my ice cream. They mixed in something but it wasn't Reese's, it was fake chocolate pieces with no peanut butter in it at all!!! I spit out what I tasted. Threw away 3 quarters of it. Will never go back. I wasted 4 bucks. read more

A local tradition! Both my husband and my kids have grown up coming here. It has been a spot to celebrate after victories and commiserate after losses. Friendly staff and delicious ice cream. read more

My favorite ice cream place. I love the inside it is very retro and clean looking and the workers are very nice. They have a cool rewards program and their ice cream is amazing. They also have candy and frozen yogurt as well but i recommend this place. This is the only ice cream parlour that i go to. read more

The counter staff needs to learn modern customer service skills and treat the customer as if they actually want them to be there. Additionally, the menu was ridiculously overwhelming and confusing. I am an avid restaurant and food service patron. But, this is the first review, positive or negative, that I have ever left on any website. read more

I love that they have the newberrys ice cream and I like to go in and buy the half gallon. They have new flavors but you can never try anything before making such a big / large purchase. The worker there is rude when I come in. Would have hoped to increase a sale that they would allow a small taste in a cup to keep sanity measures (if that's even the concern), I would have bought another half gallon if I knew what the flavor was like. They definitely do not flourish in their customer service. read more

Stroh's has been such a great, family-friendly place, with the same owner behind the counter, for decades! They have great ice-cream and candy and the nicest employees. I'm so glad they are in my neighborhood and have been open during the pandemic of 2020. read more

My favorite place to get ice cream hands down. The staff is friendly even when it's super busy inside. The ice cream is really good and the flavors I like are always in stock ( which is the only thing that really matters lol) . The waffle cones are my only gripe. They aren't extra fresh the way I like it but that in no way is a knock on them. It's just my person preference and doesn't take away from the ice cream experience. read more

This place sucks. The owner is creepy with the young girls, and it generally feels like the Brother Rice cafeteria, with a bunch of entitled acting clueless parents in the background taking up space. Avoid at all costs. read more

This place is like a daycare center gone awry. It's outta control inside with sugar-hyped kids. That's ok, especially if you have kids. But, considering this place uses all Stroh's ice cream (i.e. it isn't home churned or anything), it pales in comparison to places like Clark's, where you get a huge portion of non-homemade ice cream for a decent price, and Treat Dreams, where everything is handcrafted. I got a 2 scoop cup at Stroh's, and it was pretty scanty, especially considering the price. The selection is good - Rum Raisin, Pistachio, Mackinac Island Fudge, Chocolate Peanut Butter - but there are too many places with less mayhem and better value around. read more

Best ice cream place around, same owners for fifty plus years. Clean and great service

What I like about Stroh's are mostly the memories... the sentiment that comes from a childhood of growing up with visits to this place. Maybe it was because this wasn't a chain, but somehow I feel like we always ended up at Stroh's. They have a lot to choose from, and all of it is tasty. I think of it more of an ice cream boutique than store... maybe that's why it's an ice cream "parlor". I don't go back often because I'm trying to stay healthy. To this day, though, I still think of it fondly. read more

Lots of great memories of going here when I was a kid. However, the ice cream just isn't that special anymore. The flavors haven't progressed since the 1990's. read more

It's nice to have a neighborhood ice-cream shop that is open all year. They have a wide selection of ice-cream, frozen cakes, malts and shakes, real ice-cream not fakes. Sure it's a little pricey, but most ice-cream specialty stores are now adays. A parlor reminiscent of the 70's, worth a try. Service is spotty, and portions inconsistent, but overall a good shop. read more
