Paul Gabriel, co–owner of Browndog Creamery, stopped by to tell us about this unique business, which combines fun ice cream flavors with a full-service bar. The production house in Oak Park is where all the small-batch ice cream is made, including the popular salty dog and kookie for cookies flavors and the new flavors that incorporate Better Made snacks and Faygo soda. The Northville “barlor” serves up ice cream, craft cocktails and a full food menu for dining, and the Lansing location has ice cream and food. You can order Browndog ice cream online and find pints in grocery stores as well.
