Great little ice cream store! They have 60 different flavors of scoop ice cream that you can choose from! The young gentleman that was working in there did a great job and was super friendly. After a long afternoon at Warren dunes state park ice cream was just what we needed!

A huge selection of both ice cream and accompanying fudge and drinks. The staff was absolutely amazing.

Surprising find! Adorable little place, friendly service, but most of all, unusual array of ice cream flavors including Wizards Brew... butter beer flavored with butterscotch bits. Yum! Even the strawberry was special! If at Warren Dunes, please make sure to give it a try! You won't regret it!

Unique place. They have more ice cream flavors than I've seen anywhere. Also homemade fudge and flavored popcorn. Recommend the ice cream flight. Allows you to sample 4 flavors in small scoops.Also has BBQ available across the parking lot. Outside seating is in the sun for the most part so bring a hat.

They serve moo-ville ice cream, one of my absolute favs. So many flavors to choose from and great prices. Friendly staff and quick too. Sad we've only just found this place, but very glad to know it exists now, we will return as often as possible. Loved it

The 4 flavor flight is made for people like me that just can't settle on one flavor! And there are so many to choose from narrowing it to 4 was tough. Reasonably priced and sooo delicious.

Highly recommend! I don't care where you live, it is 100% worth the drive. The staff is friendly, the owners are amazing and the ice cream/food/boba is delicious!

BEST place around!! They serve Mooville ice cream which in my families opinion, the best. Their food is GREAT too. You must stop by and check it out for yourself. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The sign said they had 60 flavors of ice cream...they really do!!!! Good portions, delicious ice cream, huge variety. I had the "If it Ain't Dutch" and "Java Chip," my husband had the candy bar flavor. Absolutely delicious, you cant go to Warren Dunes State Park without stopping here.

I love this place! Best ice cream ever! To top it off the people that work there are so very nice and made sure that I liked all of my ice cream choices on my sample platter; specifically an older gentleman who may have been the owner his hospitality was greatly appreciated. I'll go there every time I visit MI!!!!Update: I tried the fudge for the first time and it is absolutely outstanding! Every flavor is heavenly! The salted caramel is my favorite! 😍

We love the variety of ice creams. I, myself don't do ice cream very well and they always have some sort of sorbet I enjoy. Also bubble tea and amazing shakes. Gets very busy at times but worth the wait. Try some fudge also, always so good!

Mark and Amri gave absolutely fantastic service, regardless of how many of us there were. I personally got a chili cheese dog, and that was the best chili cheese dog I've ever had, honest to god. I don't usually post reviews but man that place was just so fantastic. If you go to the Warren Dunes in Michigan, it's just right across the street from the dunes! Absolutely pay them a visit. Thank you Mark and Amri! Yall were the bomb!!

Malt and milkshake lovers steer clear! My family and I stopped in to get some ice cream treats last night and it was not a pleasant experience. My husband got a vanilla milkshake and I got a chocolate malt. His shake tasted like spoiled milk that had been sitting out on the counter for over an hour. He only took a few sips, thinking it would get better...but it didn't. He ended up having stomach pains and felt off the rest of the night. My malt had entirely too much malt mix...that's all I could taste. I drank about a quarter of it and had to stop because the taste was so unpleasant, and that's coming from someone that likes a strong malt flavoring taste. My son had the best experience out of all of us and enjoyed his scoop of Blue Moon. I was pretty excited to have an ice cream shop close to home, but I think we will be checking out other options from here on out.

We ordered food and ice cream here and were very happy with both after a long day at the beach! I had a scoope of the birthday cake ice cream and the triple threat scoop and they were FANTASTIC. The birthday cake scoop had chunks of delicious cake in it. One of the best scoops I've had. My better half had their Java chip and lemon cake scoop and those were both very tasty as well. Good location and we were in and out quickly! The staff was very helpful and kind as well. I'd love to go back when we're in the area again!

Stayed at Warren Dunes and stopped at the Beach Bucket. The Lavender Honey ice cream was awesome. They give samples too. There's not really a line, so you can walk up and down to look at the flavors and then just look for an open server. Reasonable and good customer service.

This place is the bomb. Food was good. The ice cream is awesome. So many flavors to choose from. I had coffee, my husband had strawberry, my son in law had butterscotch, my daughter has lavender and honey.

Honestly, the perfect ice cream shop. Super nice girls, awesome ice cream selection. Who would have thought their pizza is the bees knees. Prices are fair as well. Definitely will be back. Every small town needs a Beach Bucket!

It's nice for what it is. If your body is beach exhausted.. it's worth the stop. That being said.. I'll explain. We stopped for BBQ after leaving the state park. Pretty busy little establishment. We had the pulled pork sandwich. I expected it to be sloppy but not that sloppy. It would hold together much better if the bun were toasted or not a cheap burger bun.. no ff with the sandwich. That was a bummer. They did have an excellent assortment of treats tho. Many Ice cream flavors, lots of fudge, odd flavored popcorns, and taffy. Pass on lunch but go for the sweets!!

Super nice people! They were very patient and let us try any flavor we wanted. The ice cream and milkshakes were very good!

We stopped here for Ice cream while on vacation last week. We each (family of 4) got a "flight" which was four half scoops of whatever flavors we wanted. They were all delicious and very creamy ice cream. Before leaving we got a pound of fudge, which besides ice cream is a family favorite. We have tried a lot of different brands of fudge and we usually get it everywhere we go. We didn't try the fudge until we got home but we all agreed it was quite possibly the best fudge we have all had, especially the peanut butter. We tried five flavors and they were all delicious. So go for the ice cream, but don't leave without trying the fudge!

I have to edit my previous review. Tips are given to servers who wait on you at the table. There is no service here. You give your order and wait for your food. The order takers here have to rely on tips for most of their money, tho there is no service So either the order takers get screwed because there is no tip due, or you have to pay for service you don't get.So don't forget to leave a tip and a poor review.Previously, my review said:Nice ice cream shop just across the street from Warren Dunes State Park. You can get food, fudge, ice cream, and drinks.There are picnic tables, and there are pop machines outside if the store is closed. Don't feed the bear.Open until 8:00PM Michigan time.

I love this hidden gem! A lot if varieties of ice cream flavors and it is delicious! I also love their nachos! We make it a tradition to always come here after a day at the beach at Warren Dunes!!

Such a timeless gem! Both an experience and a great meal. The Chicago dog held up to its name and my son said the ice cream was the best he ever had (he's a bit of a conisour).Worth the stop and the memory. Definitely recommend. 😊🍧

The Beach Bucket is a very wonderful restaurant where you can lunch and dinner with your families and your friends too. The hot dogs are very delicious with all the toppings and the ice cream of different flavors too. I liked the black cherry ice cream with no sugar added.

First time visit and will be back! Mark was so charismatic and nice! I settled on a butter beer ice cream and some honey lavender! Both were excellent but the honey lavender is what knocked my socks off! Incredibly unique flavors! So many flavors to choose from and they are so pocket friendly

Great ice cream. The owner let me sample a few flavors. I couldn't make up my mind which flavor to get. Anyways even though I live in Kalamazoo it is worth the trip over there. The fudge is great too!
