Furniture City Creamery

Furniture City Creamery is hands down one of my favorite ice cream shops in Grand Rapids! You just can’t beat fresh, homemade ice cream, and they truly are the best. I love their bold variety of flavors and how they’re always rotating in new ones—it keeps every visit exciting! I recently stopped by to celebrate Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, and it was such a fun experience! They had creative flavors like Chicken & Waffles, Fruity Pebbles, and Blueberry Pancakes. While I wasn’t quite bold enough to try the Chicken & Waffles, the Blueberry Pancakes flavor was absolutely to die for—so delicious! Beyond the amazing ice cream, I love the charm of their adorable shop and the friendly staff who always make the experience even sweeter. If you’re looking for a top-notch sweet treat in Grand Rapids, I highly recommend Furniture City Creamery!

The ice cream was great, the service was also great, and the fellowship was even better! I’d definitely return with friends again for the ice cream. I would say that the atmosphere could be better- I did visit in May, so maybe it’s a little rough looking in spring and gets better in the summer? I’d have to revisit to check it out- because it just seemed a little worn down. The idea is good- a back patio with some vines and decent seating, but it was a bit overgrown with a lot of dead leaves all over the ground. I recognize it’s outside, but it’s line visiting an elder person’s home- one where they’re struggling to take care of it, you know? But the ice cream! It’s good. Very tasty. The ship overall is quaint and I’d definitely like to try it again.

I purchased the sampler and was able to try four flavors. I choose salted caramel, chocolate with oreos, vanilla with pretzels and I don’t remember the last flavor. Each flavor was delicious. I think more ice cream shops should have a sampler option.

Stopped in to try their hand crafted ice cream, and really happy I did. Lots of choices, I picked the WhatChaMaCallIt ice cream in a bowl, excellent. I’d get it again but learned that the flavors change and aren’t always available. So…I’ll come again and try something different. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended.

We got salted caramel and dairy-free chocolate. The lady was nice but the ice-cream did not taste good. We didn't end up finishing our cups. it tasted like there was too much sugar in it.

Bridget was very kind and helpful! Got the chocolate sundae with their cocoa ice cream flavor. So tasty! Almost $7 for a single scoop sundae.

I'll start by saying we go here very often. Especially when the weather is nice. Ice cream is really good! Most of my experiences here are positive. but sometimes the service is weird. What do I mean? There could be a line out the door (small place - maybe half a dozen people fills up the store), and there are two employees working. Employee 1 is taking orders, and ringing up customers. Doing it all. While employee 2 is just, making waffle cones or something? Totally ignoring the line of customers. Like not even acknowledging there is a line. They were prepping something. In the middle of service. I'd get if they ran out and needed more, but this happens pretty often. This makes it take FOREVER. Like 30 minutes to get through half a dozen people. Makes no sense. I've also seen one employee in particular treat customers like they are stupid for asking questions. Like they are an annoyance. I'll end with saying again, the ice cream is usually very good. Especially the typical ice cream flavors. Butter Pecan is my favorite.

We booked the Furniture City Creamery ice cream truck for our wedding in the middle of February (a little unorthodox, I know :)), and oh my, did they come through! They handed out really generous servings to our guests and offered a variety of flavors that were ALL delicious! We were particularly excited about their vegan options for our vegan guests. It was the perfect whimsical touch to our wedding day, and Rachel was absolutely lovely to work with! 100% recommend booking their ice cream truck (or just visiting their shop) at any time of year!
