We had to go to an appointment near Grand Rapids today. So my hubby wanted to stop by this bakery…read morethat was recently voted #1 Bakery in Michigan. Can I have anything... No ... Yeah I'm crying. But I ordered everything I would if I could. And my hubby tried everything. Do I think you should go out of your way Yes! Especially now when we have nothing to do but drive these days. Everything was freshly baked different unique flavors. We ordered one of everything basically. Got into the car my hubby tried a little bite of everything and then we actually went back in to get more of things so that we could share them with other people. They had a Malple Toasted Coconut Cinnamon Roll... I tasted the frosting it was delicious. The texture was super soft by feel. He loves them. We also got a four pack of regular cinnamon rolls which we haven't tried yet. They had a homemade oatmeal sandwich cookie that was pretty good, but not the best ever. Homemade nutter butter cookies. The frosting inside was a little sugary, I tasted that, but other than that he said it was a great mixture between crunchy and soft. They have a cappuccino donut... I tasted the frosting and the filling Oh my God... If I could eat them we would have ordered a dozen. And he agrees. The apple fritters... Amazing. We haven't tried the turnovers yet. They have Apple, blueberry, raspberry, and cherry And the scones looked amazing although we didn't actually get one. The baker really seem to know his stuff. As someone who cooks all the time and goes to restaurants and likes to try new restaurants and see what other people are doing I really appreciate the fact that he also does the same. He goes places, he tries things and it gives him new perspective. And it shows that he really is into perfecting his craft. Bottom line if you're in the area you should go. If you're not in the area and you have nothing else to do you should probably still go! Everything is great and fresh and they are super friendly and helpful As with everything there's always a con. My only complaint would be that the baker wasn't wearing a mask but maybe where they are, you might not need to. I don't know what the numbers are there.

They all have a great time and the produce/donuts they bring back are really good. In particular, I highly recommend the creme-filled and boston creme-filled long johns. They are simply outstanding! I love donuts and frequent local donuts shops when I travel, and these are hands-down the best long johns I've had. I don't usually like boston creme, but their boston creme is more subtle and really good. And the crispiness of the donut, even after sitting for a few hours, is amazing. Delicous! Highly recommend: creme-filled long john, boston creme-filled long john

Absolutely worth the detour! This little bakery may be tucked away in the middle of nowhere, but…read moreit's a hidden gem you won't want to miss. We stopped in on our way north, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The sticky buns were out of this world--gooey, perfectly spiced, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And don't even get me started on the apple fritters--loaded with juicy apple chunks and just the right amount of sweetness. Pro tip: get here early, because the locals clearly know how good it is, and things sell out fast. Trust me, it's worth the drive!

A long narrow building with a Deli counter on one side and a bakery counter on the other…read more I was there for the bakery and there were a lot of options. I ordered a Fruit Tart ($6) , an Oreo Creme Brownie ($5), and a Chocolate Chunk Cookie ($2). The Fruit Tart was my least favorite of the items I got it was ok I'd have preferred an Egg Tart, but that wasn't an option. The brownie was excellent. Very decedent and was great with some Ice Cream at home. The Cookie was an excellent cookie and a good choice. All of the items were a little pricey, but not extraordinarily so. The service was good, friendly and efficient. Overall a solid 4 star review for the bakery. Would I return? If I was in the area then Absolutely. Considering I found Charlotte to be a very charming and beautiful town, I'm sure I will be back.

This Bakery!!! Why don't I have a bakery like this closer…read moreto my hometown!?! Waaaaaaahhhhh!!! It's nothing from the outside. It's rundown. One tiny chalkboard sign in the window with the hours. You'd miss it if you weren't looking for it. But- LOOK FOR IT!! You will not be disappointed!! Paul the owner is the sole baker. His sister Barbara lovingly packages what you chose from the display case and cashes you out. They summer here at Silver Lake during the summers- all the way from Massachusetts! And they are just simply the best people ever! Oh the baked goods! Dill and cheddar scones 10 stars! So much dill, perfectly soft on the inside and yet a perfect brown crust. The raspberry and rosemary scones are equally as amazing, with real fresh raspberry jam in 4 little pools on top. We had nearly all the cookies in the cookie jars with the sugar cookie and confetti being our favorite. The cardamom radiating bun is unique and dense, the raisins are soaked in a orange liqueur and the top gently dusted is powdered sugar. Then there's the raspberry bar!! I only got 1 on my last day here, as we were headed home, and I'm living with regret still. Get like 6 of the raspberry bars! Don't be like me. In fact get like 6 of everything when you're here. You'd be a fool to buy any less. The prices are worth every penny, but you don't have to dish out a lot of them. Cookie will run you $1.25 for the giant ones and the massive scones that you can make a meal out of are only $1.75, my 1 raspberry bar (stupid me!) was only $2 and I swear is weighted 6oz! The face size cinnamon roll is only $2. Come here! Say Hi to Paul and Barbara, get 3 bags of goodies, a loaf of bread du jour, and a hot cup of coffee. Enjoy your items at this quaint little bakery, lots is seating, or take your items in the road. Oh- I almost forgot- THE CINNAMON ROLLS! Go look at my pictures!

I've been to a lot of coffee shops in nearby cities and big cities around the country and Sozo's is just as good if not better than any I've visited. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the environment is really laid back, with lots of space to sit and work or meet with friends, coworkers, or classmates. They source their own beans, and make their own baked goods in house. I'll often order their drip cause it's so good, but I also love their pour over, the Nutty Irishman, or just a plain Cortado. And I always keep their beans on hand for home. Please visit, enjoy, and support Rodney and Mindy and this small/local business!

It was just the right sweetness & the cream filling reminded me of an over the top ho-ho or ding dong from my childhood. She also picked up a cookie croissant that was amazing.

Definitely worth a side trip to Saugatuck if you're in the area!
