I have never been here before but am working the area today. I showed up at 2 minutes after closing..they have a huge line still at the window. I was waited on quickly and asked the girls to recommend something. I am not sure exactly what this is but it’s lemonade blended with vanilla custard and it is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! Thank you ladies! What a great little place! I wish I lived closer, but maybe that’s a good thing! I don’t need to be here everyday! I will definitely stop when I’m in town! This is WONDERFUL! And there was no waiting!

Our first visit! Their custard is unbelievably creamy, rich, and smooth — hands down the best around. Every bite tastes like summer in a cup, and the flavors are on point. If you’re craving real frozen custard that melts in your mouth, this is the place.

My dad and I just stopped here on our way back home up north and our ice cream we got were sooooo good! The banana cream pie flurry was delicious! It had chunks of bananas and crust, plus I got a pumpkin flavor on top of it-five stars!!!!

My favorite ice cream shop in all of Oakland County - the girls working are always so kind, and their weekly dole whip flavors are ALWAYS out of the park insanely good. My 2 favorites so far have been cherry and pomegranate - absolutely divine. Their custard is great and the prices are fair for what you get. I come here about once a week and I'll be so sad when they close for the season!

Smiling faces all around. Great service. Flurry was perfect. Shake was a bit watery, but feel confident they’ll quickly work out any kinks. Very cool location downtown and right at the crosswalk to the park- drive slowly in town and watch for pedestrians!

Super cute ice cream shop. They have a variety of custards to choose from, and the windows are absolutely cute. The lemon drop and pomegranate twist was really good (definitely reccomend it) but they have the classic vanilla and chocolate as well. If youre ever in downtown oxford, you should definitely check it out.

We love Summer Sundae’s! It is the first ice cream shop we’ve felt comfortable taking our food allergy kiddos to and we’re so lucky it’s right in town. They have a dedicated Dole Whip machine that changes flavors every week. Our kids love it and we love that they get to safely enjoy a summer treat!
