Review Love's Ice Cream & Chocolate - Grand Rapids

Paul Kauer
Alert!!!⚠️ This icecream is some of the most creamy I have ever had! It was so delicious. You better get your fix of that amazing treat.

Took a drive to get to this place today…located inside the busy Grand Rapids Market downtown, the area was very congested and busy. I got 2 pints of ice cream to go. I tried one of the flavors and it is delicious. It is pricey, but you definitely can taste and understand why, it’s very decadent and not your grocery store stuff. They have a large freezer upfront with all the different “pints to go” flavors. Bring dry ice—if you are not local and have to travel longer before it can be stored in a freezer again. My only disappointment was the help at the counter, they were not friendly and just wanted me to go away as quickly as possible it seemed.

Flights of ice cream! What a great idea! Everything was great, 6 flavors of non dairy Gelato. About 14 flavors of regular ice cream. Great place to eat ice cream and people watch. Will be returning!

I have been here a few times. Most recently, the cashier/store worker was polite, let me sample a flavor, explained anything I had a question about or was unsure of, and did not push or rush me. I had the Caramel Cookie Crunch (I think that's what it is called) ice cream and it was so good! It had all the flavors I love and was very creamy. Their chocolate chip cookie was acceptable as well, plenty of chocolate which I will never complain about, but for me, lacking in the dough/cookie flavor. It did have a pleasant crispy yet soft texture. Overall, a definite crowd pleaser and a cute shop! It is really nice to have a spot on the lower level of the Market to sit and eat your treats!

We had Love's provide ice cream and cookies for our September 2022 wedding at Downtown Market and they were amazing to work with! First, the ice cream and cookies were delicious and we received so many compliments from guests. The staff working the event was friendly and Laura was excellent with communication leading up to the event. We are so happy we chose Love's and it is one of our favorite parts of the wedding! Thank you so much.

Delicious selection of ice cream flavors, with a healthy offering of gluten free/vegan options: definitely recommend the super person flavor, it's a fun take on the classic superman. Their chocolates are also spectacular. They are a little expensive, but the quality very much matches the cost.

Love's ice cream is an excellent place to get a little treat. The ice cream was incredible. I asked where they sourced their ice cream and was told that is is made by the store's own workers behind the back wall. The ice cream is a testament to the skill and dedication of the people who work there.

So much deliciousness in one spot! I love that our family can all enjoy ice cream here, even with one of us being dairy free! All of the flavors and ingredients are natural and freshly sourced — even organic! Each flavor tastes so pure and true...what it was meant to be. They have done a fantastic job, and it’s the only kind of ice cream I crave! Also, the VEGAN GELATO will change your life! I’m not a vegan, I just love delicious ice cream, and these coconut cream based gelatos are AMAZING. The nice part about it, is that you don’t need a whole lot, because they don’t whip as much air into the ice cream as the “other guys,” so it’s a much denser, more filling ice cream. A is just plenty for me, and a whole scoop is a treat! Their waffle bowls are delicious as well! They also have a WIDE selection of chocolates & other treats, and they offer gift cards. Really fabulous vegan and non-vegan chocolate. We’ve received gift cards here for birthday presents. Great gift idea! Yippee! I scream, you scream, we all scream for LOVE’S ICE CREAM!

insta: dmv_reels Wow so good. I love their ice cream. It's not that sweet which I love. Blueberry flavor was good

I can’t speak for their dairy options but the vegan strawberry gelato was so good! I’m not vegan but lactose intolerant so sometimes I’ll go for the nondairy route if it’s good enough. They provided samples which was great if you’re indecisive like me. Alot of times nondairy frozen desserts have a strong aftertaste of the base that is used (like almond/coconut/cashew etc. milk) but this didn’t have that or it was hard to notice. It was nice and fruity, not too sweet, and had a great consistency like ice cream. They also had many options if you didn’t want just ice cream including alcoholic floats and milkshakes. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Because all you need is Love's! The flavors are always superb, and the texture so smooth. Friendly staff, and great indoor seating for those rainy days that still call for ice cream.
Novi Bear
Wonderful flavors! Tried a few samples. My buddy got me to come back it had been awhile. The main thing is they have non dairy options and they actually taste great! Lavendar Blueberry is the star there. The other flavors rotate a bit but you could get something in a cone, a cup, a smoothie with booze maybe. I didn't even get into their chocalate but the display looked nice.
Michelle Kooi
Best I've cream by far in Grand Rapids....live the flavors and options. I enjoy the vegan ice cream too. Now with their bar and chocolate expansion, it is even better. They also cater!
Mindy Weiss
We ordered some scoops to eat while we were there and some pints to take home. The ice cream was delicious and creamy.

We LOVE Love's Ice Cream! This place is the best. I'm not vegan or gluten free, but sometimes I'll go for those options anyways - you really can't tell the difference with Love's Ice Cream. I've shared with my husband, who's a die-hard dairy guy, and he couldn't tell that it wasn't made with dairy. We recently got my parents hooked now too! If you're GF, try the GF cones! They're outstanding!! We make a point to stop at Love's anytime we're in Grand Rapids, but we'd make the hour drive to get it anyways! The staff has always been great too, and they're always more than happy to pack my pints with extra ice for the drive home if I don't have a cooler, which I really appreciate :)
Benjamin Mier
Amazing ice cream. I’m not vegan but the fact that they offer the option, and it’s terrific, is appreciated. And the flavor variety is always intriguing.
Mickayla Robison
VEGAN ICECREAM!!! Recently I have discovered that milk really upsets my stomach, which was so disappointing because icecream is one of my all time favorite treats. Then I remembered that a while back, a coworker had recommended this place for their vegan options, so I thought I’d check it out. The drive was well worth it! I finally found an icecream that doesn’t make me feel sick afterward, and the flavor is really rich! I got coconut fudge ripple and dark chocolate! Definitely recommend this place!
Corey Bixby
Great stop for something sweet at the downtown market. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and courteous. Georgia paired up two recommendations for me: cashew caramel and peanut butter. What a delicious combo! Prefect for a summer day downtown.
Kirk Strasser
Love this place and its location in the Grand Rapids downtown marker. Amazing ice cream. All of their flavors are so unique, and their ice cream making method is the original method! I got the lavender blueberry and it was delicious. I will definitely come back here on my next visit to Grand Rapids!
Randy Leja
The best ice cream, hands down, in Grand Rapids. With creative flavors, Love's Ice Cream is a must if you are visiting Grand Rapids. We decided to pass on a traditional wedding cake and had Love's cater our wedding dessert. They let us pick out four flavors and brought the ice cream in a wonderful cart. Our guests raved about the ice cream and we continue to take family and friends visiting Grand Rapids to the Downtown Market for ice cream.
Rick Weidenfeller
Love's ice cream is the bomb! Our family has a dairy sensitivity, but love ice cream so much... Love's vegan options have REPLACED regular ice cream in our house! The Madcap coffee, Coconut chip and Blueberry Lavender are our top 3 must haves! Always have Love's stocked in our freezer at home
David Ferris
Love that they have vegan options just as good as full cream flavors. Loved the both the lavender blueberry and the cardomom orange blossom (both vegan) but the vanilla bean might be one of the best vanilla (non vegan) ice creams I have had.

My husband and I got married on May 8, 2015 and we used Love's Ice Cream to cater dessert for our evening, cocktail reception at the Grand Rapids Downtown Market. Our guests had such a great experience and I would recommend them to all other brides in the West MI area. Love's Ice Cream was so professional yet personal from day one of our wedding planning experience. Upon our initial meeting, they were very helpful in choosing the exact flavors that our guests would love and helped us to develop the concept that we intended for our reception. Our guests commented on the innovative idea to offer ice cream as our dessert and were ecstatic about the unique flavors that Love's provided. The creativity that is placed into every batch and flavor of their ice cream was well worth our decision to go outside of the box of serving a traditional wedding cake to our guests. We appreciate your hard work and are thankful for your expertise. It made our evening special!
Logan Keith
Great staff, very good prices especially for the ice cream being served. I'd recommend getting a flight and trying many flavors.

As a recently diagnosed celiac with lactose intolerance I could not thank you enough. My grandfather is an ice cream fanatic and loves taking us out as a family for ice cream in the summertime. I thought my days of participating in this tradition were over until I discovered your shop. We came to visit today and I was blown away by how delicious your vegan coconut chip gelato was! I will definitely be visiting again!
Leah Frey
They make the absolute best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had! Thank you for bringing joy to the lactose free. :)
Emilee Van Hoven
If you’re looking for dessert for a wedding reception or other event, we could not recommend Love’s Ice Cream more highly. Chris and his team went above and beyond for our wedding from seeking special approval to serve at our reception venue to personalizing our dessert exactly how we wanted it (including placing 250 tiny flags in our ice cream!) They brought more than enough staff to help serve the ice cream fresh and had it out perfectly on time. The chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream were phenomenal (as always) and were such a hit at the reception. We received so many compliments on our alternative to cake. Love’s, you never disappoint! We LOVE you!
Kristi Hale
Picked up some vegan Tcho Chocolate gelato tonight to share with a friend. We couldn’t get over how densely chocolaty and creamy it was, especially considering it’s vegan. It was SO good.
Larry Pethick
The last two times we’ve been here, we’ve discovered hair in our ice cream. Once is a fluke; twice is an issue. The hair did not match the servers or my family. Won’t be back.
Tina Town
Vegan LIFE! The best part of the Downtown Market. I recommend Date Caramel Pecan.
Jess Gholston
Had the pistachio and the lavender blueberry ice creams today -- they were both delicious! So creamy and light, some of the best ice cream ever!
Angela VanOrder
Outstanding and amazing. Lured in with a sample of the fruit/but bar. It was incredible. Sampled ginger ice cream. It was the creamiest. Had to have some ice cream. Love that I was able to do two half scoops. I couldn't pass on the peanut butter sandwich cookie. Omg. I didn't want it to end. Easily one of the best things I've ever eaten. I realize this review seems too good to be true. But Love's is the real deal. So fresh and delicious.
Paul Thomas
We stopped by to have a dish /cone of Smores. Just a fabulous taste. Highly recommended.
Danielle Guinsler
Tried the Tcho chocolate and the strawberry today, both were so creamy and amazing.
Nicole Zaagman
Enjoyed a Valentine's treat at Love's tonight! Loved the vegan/dairy free options the lavender blueberry was a favorite!
