Dairy Deluxe is the quintessential summer ice cream spot in Michigan! It is so fun to head over there with your friends, pick out your favorite ice cream treat: whether its a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Blizzard or a Twist dipped in cherry with sprinkles (my personal fav), and take a seat on the curb and soak up the weather! DD has been around for years and it is a classic in my book! You have to check it out.

A MUST.... Turtle Sundae!!!!! This has been a family staple for 25+ years. If you want to try, the flavor of the day is usually pretty good.

We've been going to Dairy Deluxe for 30 years. The wonderful taste and high quality haven't changed, nor has the efficient way they serve even very long lines of people. All of the employees are very nice but we especially appreciate the kind, welcoming, funny Chad.

So good!! Got a chocolate soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. Really reasonable pricing, just remember that it's cash only, and they also accept Venmo. Super fast service as well.

Dairy Deluxe is my favorite soft serve on Woodward. I used to be a devotee of the Boston Cooler but ever since they changed the formula of Vernors I have gone back to the upside down banana split.

Cash only! Sort of a chaotic spot to try to access with the Woodward avenue traffic. Noisey spot at night due to the street cars flying by and revving their engines. Definitely the more popular spot to get ice cream as the line is super long! Can't really eat at a bench, would have to go to car to eat.

Umm how have I never been here? I have lived here for ten years and passed this place a million times until tonight. First off, they have so many choices that I didn't even know where to begin. The man was very friendly working. I went with the QT which he said was a good choice and my boyfriend got the butter pecan sundae. The man working said the pecans are from Ohio. His sundae was awesome. The butterscotch was warm and the pecans were amazing. The QT is like a Mexican fried ice cream but not fried. I found a new ice cream place and cannot wait to go back. Also, he mentioned they are open almost year round and only close from around thanksgiving to Feb.

Anyone who lives in the area knows about this place and I'm sure loves it just as much as I do!! It is a super popular spot in the spring and summer especially! They do also offer dairy free. If your in the area stop by a give them some business! You won't be disappointed!!
