Excellent products, fairly reliable order fulfillment, DISGUSTING milk crates used with delivery.
It's been a while since I was in the store, but I do remember it being tiny and smelling like soured milk.
Again, good products!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Marj J.Lincoln Park, MI10457Jun 30, 2023

The best EGG NOG ever!! I definitely plan on making many stops here. Their dairy products are the best offered in the State of Michigan.

Chocolate milk so thick it could stand to be diluted with milk . But so good on it's own
Very good Ice cream !!! Great place to take the kids for a cone in the summer . I hear the eggnog is great as witnessed by the lines out the door at Christmas time .Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Marisa W.Dearborn, MI047Mar 31, 2023Updated review
I love this place! The products are so delicious and fresh. Most of the staff are friendly, but one lady in particular, Denise, is absolutely the best!! She is so friendly, and always makes me feel so welcome. She always has a smile on her face and is genuinely interested in how the customers are doing. She is the best!!

Very seldom does anyone say hello or thank you. Was in there the other day and a young man was working. No hello and certainly not a thank you. Too busy paying attention to someone else behind the counter.
If the business depended on the workers, they would be in trouble. - Sep 1, 2018
Cheat days are made for ice-cream. Yum, yum, gimme some! Normally I drive an hour and a half to Dietsch Brothers in Ohio to get ice-cream when I'm in Michigan. But I thought, why not try a local establishment like a normal person? I was deciding between Stroh's and Calder Bros (based on Yelp of course.) Calder's won, thanks to Fox E's awesome review!
It was a tiny old-school joint. There was only employee which is typical I hear and the line felt like it took forever. I was rolling my eyes as the person in front of me took her time trying samples knowing I'd do the same thing when it was my turn. She even had the nerve to order a shake, sigh... I chatted with the regulars while waiting.
The selection was a bit limited. There was no salted caramel or anything caramel (other than cappuccino) but it was definitely adequate. And when I saw the size of the scoops (you pay for one but really get two) and the prices, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! I got cookie dough. I figured that was the safer option since a fellow Yelper said they use artificial colors (sad face). It was light on the cookie dough, maybe three or four pieces, but creamy and melt in your life delicious! They don't have waffle cones but the tiny sugar cone was simply divine.
It was worth it! Worth the wait, worth burning up waiting in line inside that hot establishment, worth the ice-cream melting in the car cause there was really nowhere within walking distance to enjoy my cone.
P.S. I'd like to thank the nice guy who bought my cone after I thought he'd jumped me in line. Waiting for ice-cream makes me cranky! I salute you brother and hope to pay it forward. Real class act..
I highly recommend Calder Bros. and will definitely indulge again!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0
