Ice Cream Time

Have gone here for years and now take my two year old here almost everyday in the summer. Especially on free ice cream Tuesday’s (for toddlers and under). Very nice and helpful service.

I love this place!!! Huge selection of ice cream flavors and everything from cones to flurries. Toppings are unlimited here you name it they got it! Prices are not bad and they have some benches for you to sit and enjoy your cool treat. The owner is here a lot and he knows his business. Sometimes when the younger ones are working the window they can get a little skimpy on the serving sizes. Other than that if you want ice cream here ya go.

Great alternative to DQ, been in the community for 40 years, same owner for the last 20. Open late, even found the owner keeping it open at 9:45pm on Easter Sunday because of how beautiful the weather was. Friendly staff, tons of options, good stuff. Would be a five star if more ingredients were from local vendors.

This is a great local ice-​cream joint that has a wide variety of frozen treats to choose from. They have lots of treats that use their soft-​serve, like sundaes and freezes, but they also offered hand-​dipped ice cream if that’s what you prefer. They have about 10 or 15 flavors to choose from. Everyone is bound to find something they like at Ice Cream Time. The prices are reasonable, too.
This is just a walk-​up place, with a few picnic tables if you want to eat there. They do accept credit cards, which is nice for such a small place.
I recommend trying this out sometime this summer!

Just what we were looking for! Friendly staff and a walk up window with a grand variety of ice cream treats. All the standards, and a nice variety of hard-​scoop flavors from Independent Dairy. Very reasonably priced.

Just discovered this place after looking for an ice cream place on Unilocal!It’s perfect. It’s not a chain place, so it’s got that summer-​y, easy going feel. They have tons of selection, from cream puffs to flurries, and perfectly delicious soft-​serve. They take credit cards, which is cool. My favorite offering? The old-​fashioned chocolate soda. Delicious!

I have passed this spot more times than I can remember and never bothered to try it.
I can finally say that I’m glad I did.
The service was impeccable and the chocolate peanut butter shake I had was ridiculously good. Even with the line building on a warm summer’s night the man I could only imagine is the owner moved along quickly, making helpful suggestions as he assembled hand dipped goodies. It was reasonably priced, especially for how big the portions are. I will go back before the season is over. Well done Ypsi!

I thought this place was really cute! It’s old school, for sure, but that just adds to its charm. The middle-​aged man behind the counter was very kind. My husband got the green dragon shake (kind of lime-​ish flavor) and I got a medium cookies & cream ice cream cup. Our bill was $ 7, which I’m ok with for an occasional treat. The ice cream I got was ENORMOUS. It was an actual medium-​sized cup like you would get at a fast food place, filled with scoops of ice cream. My husband and I both enjoyed our treats greatly. Good find!

Ice Cream time is the only ice cream place near my house that’s not a chain like Dairy Queen, so they tend to get my business. The tip jar on the walk up window says its «The College Fund.» The employees who work there do look like local kids, and I’m happy to support them. A sign on the window says they now take debit and credit cards.
On a recent visit, I got the small Turtlette Flurry. I thought nearly $ 3 was expensive for small until I saw the small mountain of ice cream I was receiving. I don’t know why anybody would need a medium since a small is almost one and a half cups of ice cream. Mine was mixed with piece of chocolate shell, chopped pecans, and butterscotch sauce. The girl at the window said some people ask for caramel to be substituted for the butterscotch and offered to do so for me, but I declined.
The building itself is kind of fun, with a big old-​fashioned sign. They make an effort to provide shady seating with benches along one side, and picnic tables under an overhang in the front. However, this particular part of Ecorse Road isn’t really all that scenic. You’ll mostly find neighborhood kids walking up to buy a cone and then strolling off to do whatever it is kids do on summer vacation these days.
