Not that we ever need an excuse to eat ice cream but Sunday, July 15th is National Ice Cream Day! Take the kids out for a treat and try some of our favorite ice cream shops around town.

Treat Dreams 
Ferndale // 22965 Woodward Ave, Ferndale, MI 48220

Treat Dreams offers up fun, funky flavors like Kooky Monster and Mac & Cheese at two metro Detroit locations.

Here’s The Scoop 
 8814 Pelham Rd, Taylor, MI 48180
Head Downriver to find out the flavor of the day – they rarely have the same one twice!

La Michoacana 
4336 Vernor Hwy, Detroit, MI 48209 
Beat the heat in Southwest with authentic Mexican fruit paletas (popsicle) and delicious ice cream.

Shatila 
14300 W Warren Ave, Dearborn, MI 48126
Shatila is home to all sweet treats in Dearborn. There are plenty of options to chose from and you won’t want to skip the Kashta, a Middle Eastern specialty.

Browndog Creamery 
Farmington // 33314 Grand River Ave, Farmington, MI 48336
Northville // 120 E Main St, Northville, MI 48167
This local micro creamery is popular with kids and even more popular with parents. The ice cream parlor is also a bar so let the kids get something sweet and you can take home a pint of alcohol infused goodness – we recommend SoCo ToCo (Southern Comfort Toasted Coconut).

Ray’s 
4233 Coolidge Hwy, Royal Oak, MI 48073
Ray’s is an old-fashioned ice cream shop that has been a RO staple for decades. Have plenty of napkins handy because the generous portion sizes might start to drip before you’re done.

Cool Jack’s
Sylvan Lake // 2530 Orchard Lake Rd, Sylvan Lake, MI 48320
Have double the fun at Cool Jack’s and get two desserts in one. Pick out two cookies and ice cream flavor for a yummy ice cream sandwich.

Calder’s Dairy Farm

It’s hard to beat farm fresh ice cream. Eat your ice cream while watching the animals on the farm, including the cows who made it possible.

Macomb // 18309 Hall Rd, Macomb, MI 48044
