Dexter Creamery — Restaurant in Dexter

One of the best authentic ice cream shops I have ever visited. The building itself is historical and sits in the downtown area of Dexter. Granted they are temporarily closed at the moment, they will be opening back up anywhere from February to March. At least that’s what the friendly employee told me when I asked about the hours/days of operation in general. This cute shop offers an endless list of flavors and options to every one of different ages. They have ice cream, soft serve, and frozen yogurt. From shakes to sundaes, you cannot go wrong with any choice you make to indulge on a frozen treat. The selection of goodies you can sprinkle onto your dessert blow any chain ice cream corporation out of the water. Even the cones themselves offer variety from original, to dipped in chocolaty coating, to a festive fruity sensation. The prices themselves vary depending on what you choose and all are reasonable in today’s market. If you dine in, they have a nice selection of board games and card games for the children and adults to play together. The atmosphere along with the employees are welcoming, fun, and a great place for families and friends to gather. When my family and I visited back in October, it was decked out with all types of Fall and Halloween themed decorations. We really had a wonderful time dining in and playing Chutes and Ladders while enjoying our delicious treats. I cannot wait for them to open back up because I have a hankering for that Traverse City Black Cherry ice cream and the fantastic customer service the...

I work over at Cottage Inn and will try to stop in every chance I get. These people here have been nothing but professional and extremely helpful to me since I started going in there pretty much since their first day back open this season. Prior to this ice cream “season” I had never been there before. They seriously have the BEST options. Maybe it’s just because I’ve never been in a place like this before…BUT, They have sooooooooo many choices. It’s honestly almost overwhelming. (In a good way.) And lastly: Their prices are EXTREMELY FAIR & REASONABLE. With everything else in this world being crazy expensive, It looks like this place is a unicorn…Simply meaning compared to everything else in the world right now, Their prices are honestly pretty cheap. I just went in tonight and got the biggest size they offer and got a lot of ice cream/toppings in it and spent LESS than $10.00.

If you’re looking for a place to go to get ice cream, THIS IS THE PLACE!

You guys are awesome. I will continue to go in every chance I can. Let me know if y’all ever want to make a little buisness deal…😉 A little trade if you will lol. Some pizza for some ice cream lol. Thanks...

UPDATE! This is why I support small businesses!! After hearing about my "hairy" experience the owner found me and reached out with the hopes that I would give them another chance. I'm so glad I did! I brought my daughter and we enjoyed a couple of cones and the owner even chatted with us! We enjoyed everything and it was very clean. Im so happy he took that time. What great customer sevice & seriously delicious ice cream (I had Lavender 💜) If you are anywhere near Dexter you must visit!

OLD POST: Everything was great until I found a VERY long, black hair packed in the middle of my ice cream. The counter person was a blonde and just as disgusted as I was. She offered something else but I had lost all taste by then and just wanted a refund... They do have a cool incentive that if you sign up for the frequent buyer club you can donate a portion of your order's proceeds to a local organization or charity. But...
