Blank Slate Creamery

They had something for everyone and that was a miracle! We had gluten-free, dairy-free & tree-nutt free. I was amazed! And you honestly couldn't even tell the d

Delicious ice cream! The vanilla caramel is my favorite thus far. The flight gives us 4 small portions of our choosing which is perfect for my wife, two small kids, and I. Staff is young and friendly and the chalk board is a nice touch for the kids. Glad I don't live within walking distance of here, otherwise, I'd be here everyday. Also, they clearly label which options are gluten free. Doesn't matter to me, but nice for those looking out for that.

on our midwest road trip, we have been trying the "best ice cream" in each city. blank slate creamery seemed to be a top choice in ann arbor. best ice cream i tried in michigan, pennsylvania, and ohio (i think it is very comparable to jeni's and salt & straw for flavor creativity and quality). nice interior and some indoor seats. free parking lot. provides samples and service was friendly. pricing: triple for $7.75 (fairly average, little pricey but worth it to get a triple or double and share vs. $5.25 for a single) flavor variety: there are a lot of flavors to choose from on their menu, from ice cream to sundaes. they accommodate dietary restrictions as i saw a few non-dairy and gluten free flavors. flavor uniqueness: my favorite part. i thought blank slate had really original flavors (aka ones you can't buy at a grocery store) which is what i look for when eating ice cream at a shop. as mentioned, it's kind of like jeni's and salt & straw in this category which i was satisfied with. // flavors // lavender lemon honey: one of the better lavender flavors i've tried. the main flavor is definitely lavender versus the lemon but the honey gives it sweetness. basil peach swirl: an unexpected delight. i was hesitant to try a basil ice cream but actually it works with the peach really well. this was my mom's favorite. chocolate diablo: bittersweet chocolate with a kick (cayenne and cinnamon). i enjoyed how it was bittersweet dark chocolate and you definitely get that cayenne spice after taste. other flavors i sampled: chocolate churro: tasted like normal milk chocolate to me so i didn't choose. churro flavor was more subtle. vietnamese cinnamon: not to be mistaken with vietnamese coffee, this was a creamy cinnamon flavor. it was pretty good. brown butter cookie dough: i couldn't taste the brown butter too much but it was a pretty good cookie dough ice cream. ultimately, loved the original flavors and wish i had a location near me in CA. would recommend!
