Such deliciously creamy ice cream! Checked it out on an ice cream crawl we did for my birthday to both Dr. Mike’s and Ferris, and both are out of this world! So creamy and fresh! Loved the peace and ease of getting the ice cream and sitting here (no line and plentiful outdoor seating). Delicious Oreo peanut butter ice cream. My whole family loved it so much. We’ve got to try the mocha cherry next. 5 stars!!!

Dr. Mike's is so good that we went back a second time in two days...even though it was raining. The flavors aren't overly creative, which is fine by me because my main interest with ice cream is creaminess, and this has plenty of that! They also have ice cream pies, which we're definitely going to try next time.

This is the best local ice cream parlor in Bethel. I love their rotation of flavors and the friendly atmosphere of the picnic tables for families to enjoy. My son loves coming here. This is one of the few ice cream parlors where the pistachio ice cream is not artificially green.

We frequent Dr. Mike’s all year long, and it never disappoints. From the moment you take your first bite, you’re reminded of everything great ice cream should be—fresh, homemade, creamy, and full of that nostalgic summer feeling, whether it’s July or the middle of winter. Some of our favorites are the raspberry chip, toasted almond, rich chocolate, and, of course, the classic vanilla. What sets Dr. Mike’s apart is that every flavor tastes authentic and thoughtfully crafted. There are no artificial or fake syrup flavors—just rich, delicious ice cream made with quality ingredients. Every scoop has that old-fashioned homemade taste that leaves you wanting just one more bite. While the menu may be smaller than some larger ice cream shops, every flavor is exceptional, proving that quality matters more than quantity. You truly can’t go wrong with any choice. And if you’re in the mood for a milkshake, they’re thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Dr. Mike’s is everything an ice cream shop should be—a place that brings back fond memories, creates new ones, and serves incredible ice cream that keeps us coming back year after year. 🍦☀️❤️
