I am from Philly, and this is the real deal wooder ice as we say!?. Water ice as you say it. If ever you're by campus martius, it's right on Woodward/ Gratiot across from CVS.

The dairy free pineapple swirl was great and we highly recommend it.

Really nice spot to cool down in the city! Friendly and helpful service, and I like the charitable vibe. Delicious, too!

Our menu features 21+ delicious flavors of D-ICE water ice scooped to perfection and served in iconic orange cups. Water ice is related to, but not exactly like Italian Ice. It contains no preservatives, the recipe calls for less sugar and more natural fruit and fruit base than other recipes, creating a dessert that is so smooth, creamy-tasting and delicious.
