Charlie Browns (Almont)

So legit, they don’t even have an Instagram page because they don’t need one.

Ice Cream Taco Tuesday sounds like it’s a thing. Can anyone confirm?

They have more here than just ice cream too!

Mackinaw Island Fudge is my favorite.

    These all look delish! Frosty Boy in Harrison Twp. is another hidden gem! They have tons of great concoctions, and even have Dole Whips like in Disney! 😍

    You NEED to try Cathy’s Homemade in SCS. They have the most delicious flavors- try “Honey Cinnamon” on a freshly made-to-order waffle cone!!
