National Survey Names This the Best Ice Cream Shop in Michigan
Ice cream season may be winding down (just kidding, it's always ice cream season) - so you may want to hit up this ice cream shop that's been ranked among the best in the U.S.
This ice cream shop actually has a special place in my heart. We got a multiple-tier, gorgeous ice cream wedding cake there for our special day. Highly recommend! Especially because prior to the wedding, we got to head out to their sprawling farm and creamery and try a TON of different flavors - yum!
Traverse City's Moomers Homemade Ice Cream Named Best Creamery in Michigan
Yes, it's Moomers Ice Cream in Traverse City that is once again getting national attention. Last year Moomers was honored among the 40 best ice cream shops in the U.S. by Thrillist.

Visitors can pull up a stool at this quaint, family-owned shop in Traverse City. Sundaes are the best ice cream order at Moomers, and popular choices include the Turtle (any ice cream flavor with hot fudge, caramel, and butter roasted salted pecans) and the Udder Delight (a brownie sundae with ice cream smothered with hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry). We’ve got sweet stuff covered, but do you know about the umami flavor?
