The Depot Ice Cream Cafe

What a cool place to stop on the way home from up north! This posh, creative ice cream and food shop sits right off the highway and has easy access and parking. Stop by for a quick two-minute ice cream break or make it a leisurely stop for an hour so the kids can play on the convenient playground right across the street. The owner said he just started up in August 2022 and I’ll say that he has a lot of the “feel” already going for the place. Great quality food choices, perfect and unique flavors of hand-dipped ice cream, and a gentle place to stop are the markers of this establishment. What an amazing find! We were lucky to stop by here on our long trip. Highly recommend.

What a cute place. A calming and peaceful place for a snack or ice cream. The ice cream was delicious. Costumer service is super friendly. We love the location. Nice place to eat outside and across the street is a park. We loved that they also had yard games to play. We would definitely come back and recommend.

Update: we have been here a few times this year and the portion sizes have become much more consistent. The quality of the ice cream has always been outstanding and their waffle cones are the best I’ve ever had.

We live in Wolverine and really wanted to love this place but the portion sizes are different every visit. Today our double scoops did not even fill the cone. The ice cream tastes great and the waffle cones are amazing but the inconsistent scoop sizes are very disappointing for the prices they charge.

Stopped in for a snack and ice cream. We all enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly. We will definitely come back!

Good ice cream, cute little shop, friendly staff. Things to play outside and a park across the street we're a hit. We plan on camping nearby this summer and coming back!

Great hot dogs, awesome ice cream variety (I recommend the carrot cake whenever they have it!), free popcorn, and a super friendly staff. What’s not to love!? Super excited their going to be open during snowmobile season too! Thanks for being our much needed gem in downtown Wolverine!

Had their pizza tonight and it was delicious!! The service was great! Super nice owners and great atmosphere. I will definitely be going there again.

Nice people! We only had ice cream, but will be back soon for pizza. Kiddie cones are two scoops!

I have been coming to Wolverine, MI since I was a baby, and coming to The Depot was such a sweet new experience to have in a town I’ve loved for so long! The ice cream is delicious, the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing, and it adds so much charm to the hidden-gem that is Wolverine. It’s the perfect and quaint little stop after floating down the Sturgeon River, camping, a day at Silver Lake, or in mine and my Husband’s case…hitting the trails in the Polaris! I can’t wait to come back with my family when we’re back up at Silver Lake next summer.

P.s. We were offered free popcorn!! So sweet! 😋🍿

Friendly staff & fun place to stop for ice cream - with a wide variety of flavors - a g ood place for rest stop.

This place is awesome! We walked in at 2 minutes to close, and they were happy to take care of us. While they have the common flavors, they also had some flavors I hadn't seen before. What a pleasant surprise! The owners are very nice and you can tell they take pride in what they do, and what they serve.
We liked it so much, we drove up from Gaylord the next day too, YUM!

Nice little ice cream shop. They also sell pizza and brats. We had our whole family there. Everyone had fun playing games outside. There's a little park across the street, not to mention you can stroll along the bank of the Sturgeon River. It was good ice cream and the people working there we're very friendly.

Great pizza and delicious ice cream!! Super amazing place to visit. All the staff if so nice and always smiling. Our boys enjoyed themselves!!

It really good ice cream and food too mmmmmmmmmmmm

Such a cool little place in the middle of no where! Staff was super friendly, ice cream and choices were awesome! Definitely recommend.

Great hand-dipped turtle sundae made with butter pecan ice cream! Both indoor & outdoor seating.

Great ice cream and a wonderful experience all around on Mackinac Island.

Great tasting ice cream with great service.

Great ice cream, friendly owners and staff.

Got my first pizza from the Depot Ice Cream Cafe tonight. All I have to say is ? EXCELLENT.
