Though winter is approaching and the heat of summer is long gone, that shouldn’t stop you from having a decadent scoop of ice cream, or even two! We think ice cream should be enjoyed year-round even if it’s eaten in front of a warm fireplace with cozy socks on. Thankfully, there are many good options around Highland Park, MI.
1. Treats Dreams Dessert Emporium
The owners call this place a dessert experience and we couldn’t agree more. From the moment you walk in, the smell of freshly baked waffle cones hits your nose. Friendly staff greet you and then the dilemma begins. How to choose between such offerings as stuffed ice cream sandwiches, sundaes, and milkshakes.
Even going with a simple scoop of ice cream is a challenge with flavors changing weekly. For those with dietary considerations, their desserts are available vegan, keto-friendly, and even gluten-free.
2. Golden Cone
This ice cream shop has the feel of an old fashioned ice cream parlor. Stepping inside brings back memories of the days when ice cream was handmade using real, full-fat milk. Thankfully, the taste of Golden Cone’s ice cream lives up to those memories. They use local Guernsey brand ice cream and rotate their flavors often.
Popular choices include the strawberry shortcake, lavender, and seasonal pumpkin spice. Along with ice cream, they also offer ultra-rich frozen custard and popsicles.
3. Cakes and Shakes
The name says it all. Guests don’t have to decide between cake or ice cream when they can choose both. Their shakes are made of real milk and pair beautifully with a slice of cake, or a plateful of brownies or cookies.
If you really can’t decide and feel guilty ordering both a cake and a shake, then try their unique cakeshakes. They are a blend of actual pieces of cake incorporated into a milkshake base. You can choose from such fun flavors as red velvet, chocolate, and vanilla.
4. Holy Moly Donut Shop
We have a concept for you. How does a donut ice cream sandwich sound? If you’re like us, it sounds amazing. This design-your-own donut shop will have you choosing your base, glaze, and topping. Trust us, this alone will take about ten minutes. Then comes the fun part, adding ice cream to the mix.
If a donut ice cream sandwich sounds like too much, they also offer brownies or cookies as the sandwich “bread.” Or for purists, ice cream can be served the original way and you only have to pick your number of scoops.
5. Doug’s Delight
Doug’s also serves Guernsey ice cream and you can have it blended with mix-ins for a blizzard or combined with soda for a float. Their soft-serve is incredible and comes out piled high atop the cone. They also sell some of the best sundaes in town including the indulgent brownie sundae.
You’ll need a reliable car to pick up all that ice cream. Visit Bill Snethkamp today and test drive one of our many models of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram. Let us extend a “Motor City” welcome to you.
