Western Market has a wide selection of fresh foods, drinks, meats, vegan foods and even more specialty items. The place was very clean and the staff were friendly. It has a high end feel to it but pretty competitive prices compared to a Better Health, Zerbos, or Westborn Market.

There's parking surrounding the building as it shares lot space with the municipal offices of the city. It's quite a large space, great for expos, fairs, etc. I could even see it as a wedding venue; which it likely is. The are food services spaces and bathrooms inside of the building, and a nice outdoor sitting/dining space.

P+P is a great business showcasing goods that speak to the heart of Detroit. Community, health,…read morefamily... That's Pillar + Pride. My first visit was to pick up some coffee from Bean Brothers, a michigan-based brand that I had found out was being carried in person by Pillar and Pride. I could just drop in and grab some when I was running low. Checking out their website ahead of time, I was excited to see the goods that they carried and showcased. Wellness is a theme of their product offerings, with a variety of supplements and items to help atune yourself to a feeling of balance. But there's also a lot of good food. :) Tyree offered me a sample of some barbecue sauce from Williams Food Company, another local brand. It was delicious, and a bottle of it went home with me. (If you go by it's the five spice sauce, which is really different from any sort of barbecue sauce off the shelf. It has a little kick, and it's a little sweet. Go in and try some.) It's also worth mentioning that in the back corner there are a variety of books the touch on topics that speak to thriving in your life, children's books where kids of color can see themselves represented in the pages, and titles looking at improving your health. Lots of local authors are represented here too. It's an awesome variety. P+P also has a great presence on social media, and hosts events in their space, to try and further promote the ideas are at the core of their mission. Actually I first became aware of them because they were hosting discussions on Instagram Live about COVID and Detroit's concerns and discussions around a vaccine that would hopefully protect them. It was honest and frank conversation that gave me a lot of perspective that I wouldn't have had otherwise. At the heart of Pillar and Pride is the family that runs it. You can tell they care about Detroit so much. You can tell that they care about the people they serve. And if that's not a reason to go check them out, I don't know what is. :) Support black owned businesses. Support small businesses. Support Detroit.

There were a wide variety of Belgian chocolates to choose from and beautiful packaging. There were premade boxed if giving as a gift or individual options if indulging for oneself. Jacob gave suggestions and also brought out samples which sold me on some good options. I opted for a Standard box and picked two layers of boozy chocolate (yes, boozy) and one additional layer of chocolates without the adult component. I didn't purchase any Belgian beer but they looked interesting. Parking was not far in the lot nearby with reasonable parking at $1.25/hour.

I've tried the salmon, burnt ends, southern white beans, smoked wings, and jalapeno cheddar grits. There is also a selection of healthy food that I also enjoy including salads, sandwiches, seafood, and breakfast food like frittata and deviled eggs. It is a bit pricey but the food tastes fresh and homemade. I come here exclusively to buy ready made meals. The price is worth it because everything bought here is eaten up and enjoyed by my household. It's still cheaper than dining out these days. Service is friendly as well.

Huge selection of gifts, including some fun Schitt's Creek stuff and Golden Girls, and also lots of candy and chocolate. They had Coffee Crisp which surprised me, it's a Canadian chocolate bar and I've never seen it outside of Canada. They are still requiring masks as of right now (6/13/21) which was nice, also. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's a bit pricey - most of the gifts I saw were $9.99 and up, for small things, and they had some Sanders one-piece chocolates for 75c (I've seen them 25-50c in other stores). Otherwise, this was a fun store to browse and I will be back at some point.
