This place was amazing! Service was top notch but the ice cream they make in house was perfect. Creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. I had their cherry pie ice cream under a scoop of m&m cookie dough. Not cookie dough ice cream - cookie dough! It was 10/10. They have this adorable store too

Fantastic ice cream shop. The best in the Lansing area. They have this brownie skillet thing that they serve hot with ice cream on top! So good. That is the must purchase. They have regular ice cream shop stuff but I’m coming back for the skillet every time. Can’t recommend this place enough.
