Clark’s Ice Cream And Yogurt

Seriously good ice cream! Been here in all seasons but I’d say that the best time is the summer because you can sit out in the grass on the menagerie of tables. I’ve had a variety of flavors and never been disappointed!

Awesome ice cream selection– carrot cake is divine! The special sundaes are great too. Just good service, awesome options, the best in the Berkley-​RO-​Bham area.

We went on a summer night, crowded. We were not locals so we were a bit confused by the ordering system but somehow they get around to getting everyone their treats. Ice cream is yummy and very reasonably priced.

Quite simply the best scoop shop around, hands down.
I’ve been coming here since the 80’s, when my parents used to bring me, and it was called The Ice Box. Now I bring my kids and I hope they can eventually bring their own kids one day.

First trips to Clarks ever, yeah I know I’ve been hiding under a rock. They have a great selection of non-​traditional ice cream flavors which made it hard to choose just one! So of course I didn’t. I got a 1 scoop, which actually holds two scoops and they allow you to pick two flavors (score!!). I tried the mint Girl Scout cookie and the peanut butter chocolate brownie. I liked them both for different reasons. With the mint it had great mint flavor and prices of cookies in it, the peanut butter had fresh swirls and chewy chunks of brownies. Yummy! The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is that the ice cream isn’t made on the premise, it’s Ashby’s.

Nice little hole in the wall ice cream shop. The banana pudding is really good and the prices are cheap. The blueberry muffin top was nearly gone and mediocre. The waffle cone was blah and not fresh made.

I have not been to many ice cream shops in the area that sell Ashby’s ice cream and that is a shame because it is so good! The flavor options are very unique and I love getting to try a flavor I have never heard of before. I have never had a flavor that was not great and most recently I have loved the Nana’s Banana Pudding and Blueberry Muffin Top. They offer a variety of sizes to satisfy any size hunger and the prices are quite reasonable compared to the competition. I really like being able to get 2 different flavor scoops even in a smaller size since I can never pick just one flavor. The store itself it small, so it is a tight squeeze when it gets crowded, but the staff is friendly, helpful and very efficient, so even if there is a line, you should be in and out quickly. The longest part is making up your mind.

Small town hometown type ice cream spot. Indoor ordering. Unique architecture. Seating abound off to the side. Can get crowded when busy. They have yogurt too. Featured in a scene in the indie horror hit IT FOLLOWS

I’ve always been a huge supporter of mom and pop shops and this one is no exception. Whenever I’m craving ice cream this is my go-​to. They have interesting flavor combinations, your basics and a few sorbets.
Outside they have mismatched outdoor benches and furniture strewn across the lawn which makes the place feel even more eclectic and cozy, and it becomes the perfect spot to people watch.
I highly recommend this place especially with their generous portion sizes!

Nice little gem of a neighborhood ice cream shop. Lots of parking and a small grassy area with tables. Small but the line moves fast. Lots of interesting flavors and products– ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, soft serve ice cream, sundaes, floats, cups and cones of course. It was pretty busy post-​dinner when the temperature was in the low 50s, I can imagine it gets pretty crowded on a hot summer day– but isn’t a ice cream cone one of the things that taste especially good then. I’m glad it’s a bit of trek for me, otherwise I would be coming here far more often than is good for me! Will repeat and definitely recommend!

Great flavors of hard ice cream and soft serve frozen yogurt, prices are right too, really what is not to like?
I really enjoyed their little park area too, right in downtown Berkeley. I found the town charming. I will be back again for sure.
I had the lemon cheesecake ice cream, next time I’ll try the southern pecan pie ice cream or the coffee and cream ice cream. Delisious.

This is your neighborhood ice cream parlor. They have a great variety of flavors and they charge a good price fir the amount you get. Just a tip: a «kiddie» size is enough for a grown man.

Dairy Queen who? Cold stone who? That’s right questions that popped into my head after taking a bite of the wonderful hand scooped Superman ice cream inside of Clark’s in Berkley, MI. The server was awesome she gives great service with a beautiful smile (always important) and a great portion of ice cream with it. The outside of the restaurant is beautiful but the inside could use a touch up but nonetheless you still get a great vibe stepping inside. I am going to tell everyone about this place and finish the convo by saying GET THE SUPERMAN!

Holy big portions! Clark’s did not disappoint!
After leaving a movie in downtown Royal Oak, I was really looking for something to satisfy my sweet tooth. Naturally, I pulled up Unilocal and drove a few miles (further from home!) to Clark’s.
The man working that night was really helpful and was a great conversationalist! Maybe he knew I’ve never been there, maybe he didn’t, but he sure knew how to make someone feel right at home. As others have mentioned, the portions are huge and the flavors are delicious.
I opted for a mint chocolate chip waffle come and as the man was scooping my ice cream, he asked what I was up to that night. I mentioned I saw a movie at the Landmark Main theatre and told him what it was about. The couple in line next overheard our talk and said they may even see the film. Friendly people all around! Upon hearing I went to the movies, I informed the gentleman that I wasn’t very hungry. Turns out two scoops of ice cream is considered a baby cone! I was incredibly shocked and happy about the price! An ice cream place in my town carries Ashby’s ice cream for double that price (for one scoop!)
Parking is a bit tight but Clark’s has plenty of outdoor seating to make up for it. If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll be sure to stop back in!

What?! How have I not reviewed this place yet? I love Clark’s, it is the best ice cream ever. They have so many delicious and unique flavors and they have huge servings for a decent price. I’ve tried Ray’s just up the road because people say it’s great, but I don’t think it’s any better and it’s more expensive, so I’m sticking with Clark’s!

I love this place! Every time I pass by in the winter it makes me think of how much I want summer to come so I can get ice cream. Flavors are super creamy. Friendly staff. Very affordable!

Up until trying this place, i probably would of said coldstone is the best ice cream place, but after having this place, that statement is in complete doubt. I came because i wanted ice cream and this place was highly regarded on Unilocal.You come in and they have a set up like baskin robbins, but trust me, 31 flavors don’t have none of these great flavors. Another great think here is three things: they let you try the flavors (about 20 – 25 different flavors), the portions are massive (I got a two scoop child cup that was ultimately big enough for three flavors) and they are pretty cheap also. As for the flavors, well i had/​tried five and here’s how I would rank them
1. Lemon cheesecake bar-​probably the best ice cream I have ever had
2. Cookie jar-​love the m&m in it and all the different cookies in it
3. Mint Girl Scout cookie– when you put one of the three best Girl Scout cookies mixed with mint chocolate chip ice cream, you get ice cream gold
4. Strawberry cheesecake ice cream
5. Anniversary cake ice cream– taste like a funfetti cupcake from just baked but ice cream style.
Overall after having this place, I will be making special trips here.

With the proviso that this little place doesn’t make it’s own stuff (it’s Ashby’s Sterling, as mentioned by others), unlike Ray’s in Royal Oak or Treat Dreams in Ferndale, this is a great little ice cream shop. One of the core pieces of downtown Berkley.
They have some spectacular combinations. I’m a big fan of the Milky Way, the Belgian Chocolate is luxurious, the salted caramel is very good (though not as good as Treat Dream’s), and they have a ton of great peanut-​buttery options. Everything is very high quality. And «a scoop» is really two giant head-​sized scoops — i.e. it’s great value for money.
It’s also right next to the little farmer’s market deal that Berkley puts together in the Summertime, so it’s a great anchor spot for an afternoon in downtown. They’re also open late, though, if the post-​dinner munchies strike you…

Come the dog days of summer when a lid on the city makes even my glass sweat, wait until after dark to crawl to an oasis illuminated in a sea of lights. Clark’s is a throwback on 12 Mile, just like the A&W drive through, as much a local landmark as the Guardian Building is.
Inside has room enough for ten people single file to bask over the double decker labels of Ashy’s (Sterling) Ice Cream. On offer are some old standards like Moose Tracks and fruity sherbets, but the bulk are chocolate confections whipped up with crazy combinations from chunks of Milky Way bars to brandy and wafers dipped in cherry. The Jacked Up Tennessee Whiskey is worth a sample just to appreciate that rich bourbon flavour melting into chocolate. Samples are an absolute must. Clark’s has sugar-​free options too, like the surprisingly addictive country apple pie and a mellow cherry vanilla. You can sprinkle all the condiments and toppings you like across your favourite blend.
On the ice cream spectrum, the sweet is definitely appealing to the kids and little old ladies. It’s a bit too much for me, whereas I can tackle a full cone at Treat Dreams no problem.
Sugar cone, waffle cone, you’re tempting fate with anything larger than a modest scoop on the kid’s cone if you ate in the last 8 hours. The portion sizes are generous heaps that dwarf the little flimsy wrapper holding up a monumental curl of drippy ice cream. Eat fast as it starts to melt deliciously into rivulets guaranteed to start a race to the bottom of the cone.
The teens in here are a happy lot who manage the crush of bodies at lunch time or after dinner very well, and competently whip up samples and scoops with great efficiency that probably doesn’t extend to cleaning their bedrooms. All in all, it’s a great stop in Berkley to have yourself a tasty dessert for $ 3 and change.

This is my all-​time favorite ice cream place. Old-​school ice cream shop vibe, and massive portions for the $$. I usually get the «baby» size, which is one huge scoop of ice cream. I’ve never gotten past the «child» size, which is two scoops.
And the flavors are excellent. My all-​time favorite is key lime pie, and order it nearly every time I’m there — graham cracker crust with whipped cream and key lime swirl in lime mousse ice cream. Another favorite is banana pudding — banana ice cream swirled with marshmallow crème and vanilla cookies.
They only take cash, so keep that in mind when you go.
