Known for its beautifully preserved historic buildings, strong communities, and peaceful environment, Ypsilanti, MI, is the perfect place to enjoy a day out. The only thing that can make a weekend here better is dessert! This list will give you all the most loved ice cream shops in the city.

1. Go!

There’s a reason “Go!” is the name of this sweet shop. All of the desserts served here are crafted with the intention of being portable, so you and your family can grab the dessert and hit the road. The main highlight of the menu is their stuffed cookies, which come packed full of frozen cream and coated with rainbow sprinkles. Cups here are made artisanally, so you can expect a photo-worthy delivery on top of the excellent flavors.

Another unique dish here is the local honey sorbet, which comes chilled and drizzled with honey harvested right here in Mississippi. You’ll be able to enjoy your sweets while also helping to support local beekeepers. Just like their cookies, this sundae is styled with the intention of travel, so there’s no need to worry over your new Honda Accord’s interior.

2. Time

If you’re looking for something more classic, Time is the perfect spot for you. This tiny location packs a big punch with a surprisingly long list of flavors, ranging from the expected to the more unique. Specialties include combinations like shortcakes with strawberries and pumpkin pie with van wafers floating in decorative whip cream. The desserts here are served as sundaes in all the traditional flavors you’d expect from somewhere staying true to their creamery roots.

The most popular item here is the delicious hot fudge cake. This item comes with a slice of warm fudge served over vanilla with mocha drizzled all over. Ask for marshmallows on top if you’re wanting a little extra pizzazz.

3. Cravings Dessert Lounge

Sometimes we have an appetite alongside our sweet tooth, and that’s exactly the audience that Cravings Dessert Lounge caters to. This polished shop offers middle eastern styled pastries with their cream so you can have a rounded experience instead of sorbet alone.

Try something you’ve never had before, like the baklava pistachio with a side of moose track vanilla. The sugar-coated layers of crispy baklava pair perfectly with the vanilla cream, and the entire dish is taken over the top with the addition of savory pistachios and chocolate chips.

Whether you’re looking for something more traditional or an experience that takes you off the beaten path, Ypsilanti will have a shop for you. Drop by Fisher Honda to get the best deals and make the journey even sweeter with one of these hit dessert joints!
