Popular Metro Detroit Ice Cream Stand Opening First Store This Week

BERKLEY, MI — A popular metro Detroit pop-up ice cream stand is opening its first brick-and-mortar storefront in Oakland County this week.

Bombshell Treat Bar is opening a 2,200 square feet shop at 2688 Coolidge Highway in downtown Berkley on Friday at noon.

Original plans called for the shop to open last summer, but delays kept pushing the grand opening back.

The sweets shop, known for their signature chocolate dipped ice cream bars, started with pop-ups that focused on contactless delivery during the pandemic. The owners took their ice cream cart, the "Big Dipper," across metro Detroit to various locations.

The homemade chocolate bars are first dipped into melted, flavored Belgian chocolate and then topped with a variety of add-ons, such as candy sprinkles, potato chips and pretzels. Other chocolate flavors include lemonade, cookie butter, salted caramel and Mexican hot chocolate.
