Eva’s Ice Cream

Eva’s is a good local ice cream place. It’s well known in the area but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s good. The folks behind the window tent to be crabby.

Great ice cream — simple and a wide variety! I had the single strawberry (my favorite) sugar cone. Definitely great prices. I’m visiting from California and I’m glad I made the decision to make a pit stop. Will be back if I’m ever in the area!

The best «taste» in a soft serve. The strawberry shortcake Sunday was so good and fresh. The staff is very welcoming and frendly. Staff really organized, orders come up fast. They have an inside eating area. Nice on cool evenings. Love going to Eva’s

We made the switch from Frosty Boy when we first tried Eva’s. They are very friendly and the ice cream is great. My husband and I are obsessed with the rice crispy cyclone, it is amazing!
Last time we were there, a little boy dropped his cone on the ground and they replaced it free, which I thought was really nice. I still remember being little and going to Baskin Robins and the owner telling my dad that of I dropped my cone, we’d have to buy a new one!

What can you say about ice cream really?
We all love it but it really takes something special to set you apart. Special flavors or toppings you can’t find anywhere… You know something that makes you scream with ultimate food joy!
Sorry to the nostalgic folks who grew up going here.
I’m not overly impressed with Eva’s.
There menu is typical ice cream stand stuff.
Scoops, soft serve, sundaes, flurries/​cyclones, parfaits. FroYo and the like.
They claim to make home made/​fresh made hard scoop ice cream. We tried the butter pecan. Meh.
It wasn’t buttery, the pecans were ok. They didn’t taste toasted or candied or anything really special. No salty sweet delight.
My husband was less than thrilled with the long string of hair that was mixed into his scoop. Upon returning it to the management he was given a new scoop — nothing more. There was barely an apology. It was handled but there no warm fuzzies. No «I’m terribly sorry we weren’t wearing hats or hairnets to protect your food» No, «we are embarrassed that you experienced that at our establishment»
There was no coupon for your next cone free since your first experience was lackluster and we really want you to like us and come back again. Nothing.
Soooo… The turtle parfait my son had was more of the same. Regular soft serve, bland pecans, normal hot fudge and Carmel sauce and standard canned whipped cream.
Meh.
If you want standard fare that’s pretty much where it’s at.
Zzzzzzzz…

Such a lovely ice cream shop. Delicious desserts… so many different types of ice cream. Absolutely love it!

This is a great local dairy joint. They offer a variety of soft serve options, from classic cones to flurries (cyclones) to sundaes. They also have around 8 – 10 varieties of hard ice cream if that’s your thing. The service is incredibly fast as well, always a plus!

I Fucking love this place! Get their turtle sundae with hard butter pecan icecream. Holy shit! Holy grail! Rock on.
Ps– Paul a the guy who wrote the 2 stars, owns the lake Orion Dairy Queen.

not that special. i think people like this place because of nostalgia only. they went there as kids so its got be good.
so save your self a trip if you don’t live near by go to dairy queen its better and there’s more on the menu.

I’m probably pretty biased when it comes to giving Eva’s five stars. I grew up around the corner begging my father when I was little to walk with me there. I remember when I was in Middle School and Eva’s used to serve food I would bike up with friends for lunch and a cool dessert. I had friends that had their «scooping arm» muscles so large their other arms looked small in comparison. Summer in Lake Orion? You go to Eva’s.
Favorites:
–Fresh made drumsticks
–Any cyclone, but especially the rice crispie treat (weird, but try it!) and tropical
–When I was younger I tried all the flavor blasts in one month
When there’s a line:
–after sports games
–during the fair and fireworks
–after any school event
–when it’s hot
–anytime after 7pm
I also must mention if you get a gumball from the machine and it’s wrapped in foil, you get a free cone! When I was younger I always put a quarter in it when the machine was low because I knew I had a better chance.
Ok, done reminiscing!
P. S. Cash only!

Eva’s is the best! Their service is super quick and the ice cream is delicious. They have yummy shakes, malts, and sundae’s. YUM!

Surprised they didn’t have this business listed. It’s only the best place to get ice cream for miles. They are open half the year and it is great on a hot summer night. The only problem with this place is that it is next to a marsh and sometimes there are lots of misquitos… but don’t dispair! Just go inside! :)
