About This Spot

There’s a familiar hum to the air at Tasty Twist, a lively little hub where the carefree buzz of East Lansing’s community spills out from behind its counters. As you step in on a warm afternoon or after a day wandering the nearby college streets, the place wraps around you like a well-loved local story—full of cheerful chatter, the clink of spoons against waffle bowls, and the soft whirl of soft serve machines spinning their magic. It moves with a friendly, unhurried pace, offering a moment to pause and savor something sweet in a space that feels both spirited and welcoming.

The joy here is in the details that invite you to slow down and explore familiar favorites with a twist. Whether you find yourself marveling at a vibrantly dipped cone, delighting in a warm lava cake paired with chilly scoops, or indulging in classic sundaes with playful names that hint at local charm, there’s a gentle sense of discovery woven into every treat. These are not just desserts; they’re touchpoints for shared moments—those casual celebrations after a long day or simple pleasures with friends and family.

Tasty Twist holds a quiet place in the rhythm of its neighborhood, where parking might sometimes feel like a small challenge, and lines form as many gather to claim their favorite flavor of the week. But within that buzz is an unmistakable feeling of community: regulars chatting with the staff by name, the ease of familiarity in each scoop, and the warmth that comes with knowing this spot isn’t just about ice cream, but about creating a space where simple, joyful moments happen daily.

i can not believe my eyes. i gathered all my friends and family in the area for this very moment to be severely disappointed. i feel bamboozled. last week’s sign said “next weeks soft serve flavor is coconut”. well, it is now next week. i trot in all holly jolly and to my sincere surprise: NO COCONUT. it said “flavor of the week: creamsicle”. i feel tricked. so sad. what will i do now? who knows when coconut will be back. now i have nothing to look forward to in my week.

Delicious ice cream and such a great variety of flavors. It may be sacrilege to say it, but I prefer their ice cream even over the MSU Dairy Store. And the free and plentiful parking is a huge bonus for an East Lansing business.

Simply the best soft serve in Mid-Michigan, maybe the US. They are a staple of the East Lansing/MSU community. If you're in town for any reason, go get a twister.

So good. So many favorites. Love the Michigan pothole! The superman! The lemon cheesecake! Eskimo, kisses!

East Lansing Classic. Used to live behind tasty twist for a year and it was really nice to have an ice cream place nearby. The owner and staff are great. The ice cream is well priced and always exactly what I expect. Lines can be long but they move fast. Parking is not great and can be hard to navigate but it does not detract from my views about the place!

Tasty Twist, a staple of the Lansing area for several decades! Easily seen from roadside, located in a mini mall! Plenty of parking options available either in their own lot or street side! Nice selection of cold dairy treats to choose from all at a decent price! Try Tasty Twist today!

This place is so cute and clean! They have an extensive menu that includes scoops of hard ice cream (8-10 flavors to choose from, including Superman and butter pecan), soft serve options of vanilla, chocolate, twist, and a flavor of the week, which was key lime and what I had, so yummy and light!). They also had several iced and slushie drink flavors to choose from. They also have sundaes, banana splits, and twisters: soft serve ice cream with up to two ingredients mixed in, we tried the fruit pebbles... So yummy!! I think they also have chili dogs? The temperature outside was basically hot lava, so I had little interest in any of their hot foods. The crew here was very friendly and attentive. This will be a regular spot for my family and I to visit for years to come.
