Love this ice cream shop. They had a struggle this summer with the street being torn up ALL summer. But the service was great as always and the ice cream truly good - again as always.

This place has been around for over 100 years. The ice cream is really good and it’s right next to a scenic river and a playground. We like to drive down Hi here from Kalamazoo to have a family outing.

We accidentally stumbled across Deans in June during a visit to Plainwell, and decided to check it out. To our surprise, Dean was actually the name of the man who opened this local favorite nearly 100 years ago, and not "Deans brand" ice cream. Along with a long history, Deans offers every kind of ice cream creation imaginable, and many, many flavors of ice cream. But it does not stop there. Daily specials, including burgers, and other sandwiches round out the menu that keeps people coming back. One of the owners was working the day we were there. She took our counter order, and pretty sure she made some of our food. Very nice park setting adjacent to Deans provides good place for outside eating along the Kalamazoo River. Or a spacious parking lot for in-car dining.

The owner is absolutely rude and acts annoyed or bothered that you’re even there ordering food or ice cream. I will no longer give my business to these owners. I hope they sell quick because clearly this lady is MISERABLE. Oh and the ice cream is gross and usually freezer burnt. The only thing I recommend is their malts. So when you go there to order food or ice cream be ready for her rolling her eyes, sighing EXTRA DRAMATIC, and mumbling rude comments to herself because lord forbid you come to her establishment. I will give my business to Plainwell ice cream or dairy freeze in Otsego, They go above & beyond to make you feel welcomed. Good luck! Fingers crossed they sell quick.

Staff was nice, good service - but awful ice cream. There were 6 of us, most had a favorite but got a taste first and decided on something else (like butter pecan. Yuk!) Finally two of us decided to go "safe" with chocolate almond - and it was awful. It most certainly was not chocolate! How can you mess up chocolate?!? No one in our party was impressed; different flavors tasted similar to the other, and the "scoop" was small. I love small towns and small shops like this, and it hurts me to make a. negative review - but I will never go back.

The older woman who waited on us was rude, short, snippy. Highly disappointed. I decided not to give my money to this establishment. My parents owned a small general store and every customer was treated with respect.

This place is awesome. I have taken my kids here quite a few times. The ice cream is amazing and you get a good amount for the price. Plus like another one of the reviewers said you can sit right next to the river go over to the park right next to the ice cream shop or walk across the bridge over the river. Amazing place. Love it here.

I've really never eaten anything but the ice cream at Deans, but it's been the Bosma's summer, go-to place, for a few decades. My sons and I started participating in the tradition in 1977, before I married into the family. My husband, his three siblings and their spouses, are the first generation included in this review, but since most of our kids are now married, with kids of their own, there's now a third generation of ice cream, malt and shake fanatics who NEED their "Deans" in the summertime (a destination MUST, during any Bosma family gathering)!

Ice cream at Deans is less expensive than Plainwell Ice Cream and you get to sit down by the river while enjoying that hot fudge sundae! What could be better?
