After my family tasked me with sampling the best midwest cherry flavored vodka, they put me to the challenge of tasting the ice cream that was voted America’s Best Scoop on ABC’s Good Morning America (see news clip above). Situated on the shores of the east arm of Traverse Bay on Route 72 in Traverse City, Michigan is MOOmers.
Upon walking into the establishment, I knew nothing of their prized cherry perfection. The ice cream barista recommended I go with the crowd favorite, the Cherry Moobilee. Being in the heart of the cherry producing capital of the world, how could I resist.
The black cherry flavored ice cream was combined with chunks of black sweet cherries and chocolate fudge swirl; however, the real surprise and delight of the ice cream was the chunks of brownies mixed in. The contrast of the smooth ice cream to the tart cherries, and then the fudge brownies was delightful.
While I was entrapped in an ice cream coma, the boys were more interested in returning to the playground out back, which was well equipped and safe for little ones.
If visiting the Traverse City area, be sure to stop in to the great little ice cream shop called MOOmers.

What a great name for an ice cream shop. My parents just returned from Michigan and stopped in Traverse City. They raved about it. All they talked about at dinner the other night was the cherry trees…
You know, if only that was the case because I commented the whole time, “where are the cherry trees?” I never saw a single tree.
