I really recommend this place for the variety and uniqueness of flavors.

I tried three of the viral fruit shaped desserts, it was $45, ugh. The mango was the best, with real chunks of fruit, layered on top of a cake like bottom with mango filling and a thin layer of chocolate encapsulating the dessert. The lemon and strawberry were the same respectively, but with no fruit inside. They were all pretty, and I wanted to love these but, it was just ok for me and I probably wouldn't get them again. Also, I cannot understand why they are so expensive, possibly hard to make or the ingredients, either way, sadly, I would not rush back.

Great location for a delicious scoop (or 3) of ice cream on busy Woodward!…read more We've been here a few times to get some different kinds of ice cream. They have a wide selection of different ice creams, milkshakes, and other items. You can even come in and get a gallon of milk or containers of ice cream. There's plenty of seating here and the workers are very quick to get your order ready.

Mad expensive for some mid ice cream. I got a single scoop of chocolate in a waffle cone. That was…read morelike 8 dollars. My bf got a single scoop in a bowl. Like 6 dollars. And he picked up a milk. Idk how much that was but my total was just about $22. So you're telling me this milk i bought was also 6 dollars when i've gotten the same milk at grocery stores for about $4. AND A SINGLE SCOOP OF ICE CREAM is just under $7. Go to hell lmao. The chocolate ice cream was freezer burnt and i was chewing on ice particles. Your ice cream is not good enough to be at that price. Maybe people love it bc they grew up with the name.. im not from here so i do not have that sentiment and think this place is severely over priced for the quality. Should have just gone to the frozen custard spot like 100 ft away. $22 dollars for a jug of milk and two scoops of ice cream!! Out your damn minds.

Ray's is like a step back to a simpler time. It makes for the picture perfect midwest summer night…read more Happy people of all shapes, ages, ethnicities, just enjoying their ice cream together peacefully on the charming patio. 7-8:30 pm is prime time at Ray's. There will likely be a line down the sidewalk. It does move along pretty quickly. They have all of your traditional flavors (ie mint chip) and lots of fun ones too (ie. Salted caramel mocha chip). The special seasonal flavors seem to sell out earlier. They also have MLB baseball cap sundaes, for us baseball fans.

Ray's Ice Cream was a pleasant surprise!…read more Customer Service: great. The scooper was the nicest person I've ever met across the counter anywhere. Value: under $5 for two flavors and a topping?! Nowadays, that's practically unheard of. Flavor: the lemon sorbet was very refreshing! Seemed there was also lemon rind init? It's a strong, but not overwhelming, lemon flavor. The DF Black Cherry was a bit overpowered by the lemon sorbet, but I think on its own it's nice enough. I asked about the Dark chocolate fudge, that is listed on the menu board. The scoop girl was not sure, looked around a bit. When I sat at the counter to enjoy the ice cream, I noticed an empty metal warming vat for it. Maybe they had dark choc fudge at one time? It was fairly busy for a random Tuesday evening in late summer. If you are looking for DF options that don't leave you sad, Ray's is a good choice!

The staff was also super kind, I have no idea what the other reviews are complaining about. They were super kind and accommodating of my friend's peanut allergy so we didn't have any problems. She got one of their famous orange & Vanilla twists and I got a milkshake. She was saying such good things about her orange and vanilla twist so I had to go get one for myself and I'm glad I did. I also loved the vibe of the place and it felt like I was transported back to my childhood in the 90's. Needless to say I will be coming back!

Staff was quick and polite. One thing I thought was odd is there are a few spots marked "employees only" and the only car in them was covered in really far left and trump hating stickers. It seemed odd to go that hard and have it associated with the business.

She did not seem like she cared or was happy serving ice cream. I got samples of the coconut ice cream with almonds and the Mackinac Island chocolate ice cream, and both were hits, so I got a small cup with junior scoops of each. The ice cream wasn't bad and had a unique flavor profile without being too sweet, but the service wasn't the best.

Despite the place being empty on Sunday morning, the staff still made so many mistakes with our order it was ridiculous. There is no cream/sugar/stirs station so every time you need something you have to ask. The coffee was good, so were the cider donuts, but that was it. The avocado toast has almost zero avocado, I couldn't taste it at all. The breakfast sandwich was made on a stale and reheated bagel from the bag. We were not impressed at all, and won't be back.

Our attentive and patient server was always ready to answer any questions we had. Our drinks arrived promptly, and we started with mimosas, which were okay but a bit pricey. I should have opted for the delicious lemon drop instead. After scanning the restaurant for other patrons' food, we decided to order veggie omelets, steak tacos, burgers, and a breakfast special. The table across from us had ordered a plate of cinnamon roll pancakes, which looked absolutely divine. It was an incredibly generous portion, but unfortunately, no one else wanted to share. Maybe next time. We had a slight wait for our food, but it was absolutely worth it. Everything was piping hot and incredibly delicious. I couldn't resist ordering the signature burger special from TikTok, which came with garlic truffle fries and a glass of wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and each other's company. I highly recommend this place, and they have a great happy hour during the week.
