The first Sanders fountain counter opened on June 17, 1875 in Downtown Detroit. Over the next one hundred years, that number would grow to more than fifty as Sanders parlors became a fixture on Main Streets throughout Michigan. Over the years, people have shared their memories of the popular Ice Cream Sodas, Handmade Chocolates and Hot Fudge Cream Puffs that you could only find at a Sanders parlor. We are pleased to return the Sanders storefront to Metro Detroit. Visit one of our 4 locations in Laurel Park Place in Livonia, the Village shopping district of Grosse Pointe, east of Woodward in Birmingham or north of Eureka in Wyandotte...and make sure you ask for your free sample!

When I was a young girl, many, many times my Grandmother would take me to the Sander's Ice Cream Shop on Michigan Ave in Dearborn, it was my favorite place to go, especially for Hot Fudge Cream Puffs! I am now 68 years old and have lived in Phoenix, AZ for 49 years and sure have missed my favorite Ice Cream dish. I just wish I could get the fudge mailed to me by Sander's, I would be a regular customer. I did not know any new stores opened in 2006 or I would have been to one of them when in Michigan recently. When I am able to visit Michigan I usually buy some fudge at a grocery store to bring back with me...while always missing and wishing I could go to a Sander's Ice Cream Shop. Now that I know about the 4 Shops, you can bet I will be going to one some day...a priority on my list!!! Sure wish there was a Sander's out here in Phoenix, I'm sure it would take over all other ice cream businesses. Thanks too, for the Website!
I used to go to Saunders with my mom when I was a young child and those are memories that I will never forget...I think it was on Houston Whittier and Kelly or somewhere near there in Detroit! It was such a treat!! Love the caramel!!
I love Sander's toppings and have sent them throughout our great country so that others could see what they were missing.
My dear departed mother took me and my siblings to get a hot fudge sundae more than fifty years ago. It was so good, I'll NEVER forget it! It's a great way to do something with FAMILY that everyone will long remember. What a great tradition!
I've traveled across the country and Sanders is the best I've been too, and best hot fudge I've ever experienced.
I always have some ice cream topping on hand for unexpected guests, and whenever out of state guests are here to visit, we go here.
The ice cream toppings are The Best! And Sander's chocolates are better than Godiva!
I have been enjoying Sanders Hot Fudge since a small child; it is so smooth and creamy. I have many cherished memories of my days in the Sander's stores. It is the only hot fudge I buy.
Visiting Sanders ice cream shops is really a wonderful experience. The service and care is remarkable and the ice cream is sinful!!!
Sanders takes me back to my childhood days, ice cream shops, tasty cakes and pies. I love Sanders.
We both grew up enjoying Sanders candy and ice cream. Nothing like a "bittersweet ice cream puff". Also loved the Sanders bumpy chocolate and bumpy caramel cakes.
There's nothing like having a hot fudge sundae with my mom that makes me feel like a kid again.
No one makes a caramel cake like they do. I have drove many miles to find a sanders caramel cake.
My mother used to treat us to sanders hot fudge cream puffs when we were kids. I know they were mom's favorites! We went to one in the wonderland mall. Mom is gone now, and I'm turning 50! When I make a trip to Michigan I always bring back Milk Chocolate Fudge! I just received a package from my sister Karen today with cream puffs, hot fudge, a ice cream scoop, and some coffee. Thanks Big Sis! LS
A childhood favorite tradition has come back!!!! NOTHING beats Saunder's Hot Fudge!
I've never tasted another ice cream topping as good. It's so rich & creamy. All the others taste so artificial.
They have always had delicious ice cream, and the very best toppings, along with their wonderful assortment of chocolates, etc.
As a child they were the best and 37 years later I still think they are! Every birthday in our family was and still is celebrated with a Sanders bumpy cake. YUMMY!!!!
The Sanders in Birmingham has the best looking staff....and the hot fudge is awesome too!
It is not only that the ice cream and dessert confections are completely superior to anything else in the locale, but that Sanders does appropriate and due tribute the Detroit's proud history.
Best ice cream around. Love the butterscotch caramel and cinnamon pear caramel toppings!
I've been a long time Sanders customer and can't pass the shop without stopping in for an ice cream cream puff. No one can make them like Sanders.
