About

The Detroit Water Ice Factory, A brainchild of author Mitch Albom, features up to 21 delicious flavors of D-ICE water ice scooped to perfection and served in iconic orange cups. Water ice is related to, but not exactly like Italian Ice. It contains no preservatives, the recipe calls for less sugar and more natural fruit and fruit base than other recipes, creating a dessert that is so smooth, creamy-tasting and delicious, it is hard to imagine it does not contain dairy products and is 100% fat free. One hundred percent of the profits from The Detroit Water Ice Factory will go to helping Detroit’s neediest citizens through S.A.Y. Detroit. “We are here to create jobs, raise funds, do good – and eat ourselves silly with the coolest dessert ever.” - Mitch Albom

Nice people and reasonable prices. The ice is good but a little weak in flavor. Still really nice for a summer treat.

I'm not sure why they serve Philly Pretzels in the D. You could stand a spoon in the coffee. The staff is nice. Great location. The popcorn was tasty.

We have a lemon water ice flavor but not ice cream. The ice cream we do serve is chocolate or vanilla soft serve on top of your preferred water ice flavor in what we call a Motown Twist. You can see our menu here: https://detroitwaterice.com/flavors/

Sure! I just hope they dont melt

You pick it up, and deliver it to your home

I don't believe you can.
