Ice Cream Detroit is a seven-year labor of love turned premium—sometimes boozy—ice cream shop.
Ice Cream Detroit started in 2018 pop-up. Co-owners Ysahai Honor-Marie and Kiara May opened a permanent storefront on Second Avenue in Midtown last fall.
As the duo continues to grow and gain loyal customers, the shop remains grounded in the community. Ice Cream Detroit offers discounts, which aims to connect to all members of the neighborhood.
Whatever’s next—a trailer, an ice cream bar, a second grand opening, it’s safe to say they’re doing it for the culture. They’re doing it for Detroit.
