Happy July! Summer just screams ice cream right? With the holiday weekend on the horizon, and warm weather this week I’ve mentioned to Cory I’m craving ice cream. So where are some of my favorite places to grab ice cream in Grand Rapids? Scroll down because I’m sharing my favorite ice cream shops that are a must try this summer. Enjoy!
Jersey Junction
Jersey Junction is a must for ice cream with its iconic red building in East Grand Rapids. Fun fact – Cory and I went to Jersey Junction with our families after we got engaged. It will always hold a special place in my heart for ice cream during the summer. My favorite ice cream (I get it every time)is Coffee Lovers Dream from Hudsonville Ice Cream.
Frosty Boy
I love visiting Frosty Boy in Cascade with my nephews. Frosty Boy has flurries (my favorite) and speciality sundaes that are always delicious. This is a great ice cream stop with your family during the summer!
Furniture City Creamery
Furniture City Creamery is located in East Hills, and I absolutely love all the different flavors they come up with! My favorite ice cream flavor is D’OUGH! that’s a collaboration with Cakabakery. They use ice cream that’s been developed using Cakabakery’s recipe for cookie dough and chocolate chunks. It honestly tastes just like raw cookie dough! Doesn’t that sounds amazing? PS they also offer vegan ice cream options here!
Pinkie’s Ice Cream
Pinkie’s Ice Cream features ice cream from Sherman’s of South Haven including flavors like Birthday Cake, Java Chip, Grasshopper, Almond Joy and more! Check out their social media to follow their food truck.
Kilwin’s
I’m a huge fan of the waffle cones from Kilwin’s. As I type this I’m imagining the smell of the homemade waffle cones when you walk through the door. With some chocolate chip ice cream in a waffle cone or cup I’m good to go. You can visit Kilwin’s in East Grand Rapids or downtown Grand Rapids or take a drive to Saugatuck.
Love’s Ice Cream
Located in The Downtown Market you can find Love’s Ice Cream. I love that they offer vegan flavors and out-of-the-box flavors that are so delicious. This is a wonderful spot to enjoy some ice cream after grabbing dinner at the market or downtown.
I hope you enjoy these awesome ice cream shops in Grand Rapids!
