Houseman's: A Byron Center sweet spot!
Stepping up to the walk-up window (and remember, it's cash only, which just adds to the charm!) feels like a step back in time in the best possible way. Their ice cream is simply fantastic – incredibly creamy, with a wonderful variety of flavors, and generous portions that always hit the spot. Whether you're craving a classic cone, a rich shake, a loaded sundae, or a refreshing slushie, they do it all perfectly. You can tell why it's been a local staple for decades.

It's a gathering spot for families, friends, and even furry companions (yes, it's dog-friendly with outdoor seating!). The seasonal opening from March to October just makes those first and last visits of the year even more special.
If you're in Byron Center and looking for a taste of pure happiness and a beloved local tradition, do yourself a favor and visit Houseman's. It's the perfect spot to create...

I really hope Housman‘s ownership reevaluates some of their team members and properly trains them on the...

Shocked and delighted at the same time since that's usually unheard of.... so we sat an enjoyed our sundaes as planned an afterwords ran right home which was literally 5 to 7 blocks away to...
