Detroit’s downtown just got a whole lot sweeter with the arrival of Huddle, a brand-new walk-up window dedicated to delightful soft serve custard. Located at 2 John R St., within the former Chickpea in the D space, near the bustling Farmer Street, Huddle officially opened its doors at 4:30 p.m. today, ready to serve up swirly treats to eager customers.
Behind this exciting venture are the experienced restaurateurs Lea and Kyle Hunt, the duo also responsible for the popular Eastern Market eateries Gather and Cøllect. Known for the creative soft serve cones featured on Gather’s dessert menu, Huddle is a natural extension of their passion for innovative and delicious frozen desserts. Detroiters familiar with Gather’s sweet offerings are sure to be thrilled with this new dedicated soft serve spot.
Visitors to Huddle can anticipate a menu focused on classic soft serve flavors done right. Indulge in creamy chocolate, smooth vanilla, or the best of both worlds with a swirl option. Customize your treat with a selection of tempting toppings, including sea salt for a sweet and savory contrast, vibrant rainbow and rich chocolate sprinkles for a playful touch, and mini chocolate chips for an extra dose of chocolatey goodness. Priced at an accessible $4 for a cup or cone, with an additional $1 for a waffle cone upgrade and just 50 cents per topping, Huddle offers a delicious and affordable dessert option. Little ones are also catered to with kids’ cones, and for those seeking refreshment beyond ice cream, Huddle provides flat and sparkling water, as well as $6 floats featuring classic soda choices like cola, root beer, Vernor’s, and Rock N’ Rye.
A significant bonus for dessert enthusiasts in Detroit: unlike many seasonal ice cream stands, Huddle is committed to serving the downtown community year-round. Rain or shine, summer heat or winter chill, Huddle plans to be your постоянный destination for soft serve satisfaction.
Huddle is located at 2 John R St., Detroit, and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Update: The opening time for Monday has been updated.
