This Michigan Ice Cream Shop Was Just Named the Best in the State — Again
Let’s be honest—Michigan does ice cream really well. From roadside stands to family-run creameries, you’re never far from a scoop of something sweet. But among all the options, one particular shop keeps climbing to the top of national “best of” lists… and for good reason.

In fact, it just scored another big honor. A major food site has officially named it the best ice cream shop in Michigan. Again.
A Sweet Spot with a Personal Connection
So what makes this place so special? For one, the ice cream is made fresh on-site. The setting? Absolutely picturesque. And the flavors? Let’s just say narrowing it down to one is nearly impossible. Trust me—I’ve tried.
This spot actually has a pretty special place in my heart. My husband and I had our wedding cake made there—it was a tiered ice cream masterpiece. Before the big day, we got to visit the shop, explore the property, and sample tons of flavors. Not a bad way to prep for marriage, honestly.

And the Winner Is... Moomers
If you’re still guessing… yep, we’re talking about Moomers Homemade Ice Cream near Traverse City.
A true Michigan gem, Moomers is located just a few miles outside of downtown on a working dairy farm. The same cows you’ll see grazing in the pasture help provide the milk used in the ice cream. Talk about farm-to-cone.
National Praise and Over 160 Flavors
Moomers has been nationally recognized before—by Thrillist, Taste of Home, Reader’s Digest, and more—and now it’s landed yet another honor from Lovefood.com, who is declaring it the best ice cream parlor in Michigan.

They churn out over 160 flavors (yes, really), including Michigan favorites like Blue Moon and Superman. Some standouts include Oreo Mint Meltdown, Caramel Sea Salt, and the legendary Cherries Moobilee—black cherry ice cream packed with brownie pieces, cherry chunks, and a fudge swirl.
Whether you’re into cones, sundaes, floats, or seasonal treats like pumpkin ice cream sandwiches, you'll find it at Moomers. Yum! Can't wait to visit the next time I'm back in TC.
