The Story

Ray's has churned on Coolidge Highway for more than sixty years, and metro Detroit treats a summer visit as obligatory. The hot fudge is made in-house and poured with a heavy hand.

    Best ice cream in town! Friendly staff, fast service, and those fresh, made-in-house waffles are unbeatable. Highly recommend Ray's

    Elvis is in the house! Homemade waffle cone with Rlvis ice cream/chunks of peanut butter in banana ice cream-very good. Scoop of lemon sorbet in a cup also. Long line but moved quickly…well worth the wait

    We got a Ray’s ice cream cake for my birthday and it was SO so so good. We got the cookies and cream with chocolate cake and it was perfect. I’ve always loved the ice cream (their cookies and cream is 10x better than any other store bought ice cream) and then the cake and frosting were perfection - perfect amount of sweetness and so well balanced with the ice cream. The whole time we ate it we only talked about how good it was 😅 I will definitely be adding this to my go-to for birthday cakes!

    I was underwhelmed with the experience here. Although the environment could’ve been nice as an old school ice cream parlor, it was rather messy there with both garbage containers full of trash and some trash left on one of the tables. In the back, there was a group of teenage workers oblivious to the numerous patrons needing helped and the messy area. I had been told this place was really good so I was excited to try. Clearly it must have gone down hill.
