Overall this was a good experience. The Belgian waffles do have pearl sugar but I'm fairly certain…read morethey are still a batter made waffle. True Belgian waffles are made with a yeasted dough but they were very good and flavorful. No syrup needed. The chicken tenders are t anything to write home about. They are standard frozen tenders. The sodas are creative and my daughter enjoyed hers. I had a small sundae and by the time they were served they might as well have been milkshakes. Overall not a bad experience. Service gets 3 stars because of the melted sundaes. Food freshness and quality gains 4 stars. Cleanliness 4 stars. Ambiance gains 4 stars but mainly because it sounds like an elementary cafeteria. The wait was long but we had friends to talk to. I love seeing the history all over. That's a solid 4 stars. I do recommend you give them a try.

I've been to a Kilwins in three different states, and all of them have been very good. This Kilwins…read morein Ludington is no exception! I forget that Kilwins is a chain, because it always feels like a small local joint. We had a party of six looking for some sweets, and more than half of us chose ice cream. Kilwins offers kid favorites like Superman, but also flavors like Mackinac Island Fudge and cappuccino. You can get it in a cup or a cone, and they have kid scoops, too. Ice cream is not my jam, but chocolate is, so I got a variety of different chocolate-covered things, like a chocolate-covered s'more, chocolate-covered pretzels, chocolate-covered graham crackers and a chocolate turtle. I like chocolate a lot. There are a lot of different chocolate things here. They also make their own fudge, and if you're lucky and visit at the right time, you can watch them as they're mixing it on a big table. There isn't any seating inside Kilwins, so you'll need to take your treats to go. There are two entrances here, so we exited at the back and ate our desserts in the alley like a bunch of hoodlums. It was nice, though. Chocolate and ice cream taste great, even (maybe especially) when you eat them outside in an alley.

There are several toppings to choose from such as cereals, candy bar pieces, caramel, boba, brownie bites etc! They also serve a variety of cold drinks such as lemonades, teas, canned soda, bottled water etc. You can also add boba to the lemonades! The nespresso coffee bar is also a nice touch for the coffee lovers! The inside is clean and the 50s theme takes you back in time. The bright colors give a fun vibe with the checkered floor. There is no indoor seating but they have plenty of seating on their new covered deck overlooking the village green and Pentwater lake. There is truly something for everyone at Pentwater Froyo! Don't miss out!

A Wonderful Experience at Pentwater Froyo…read more We arrived in town late and noticed this new frozen yogurt shop near the square. Even though they were closed, the person inside (possibly the owner) kindly let us in when he saw me and my 4-year-old daughter at the door. He was so friendly, helping us fill our cups with yogurt and toppings. To our surprise, when we went to pay, he said it was on the house and even gave us a 10% off coupon for our next visit. It was such a kind gesture after a long day of travel. We'll definitely be back!!

They may not…read morehave that true sit-down restaurant burger quality but they've got the fast food industry on LOCK. Service is usually decently fast, But the environment feels welcoming enough that I don't even mind the wait. I will say they are super expensive, And the normal burgers at least when i tried them were super salty. But the mushroom and swiss that i almost always get now never disappoints me. I have tried any of their chicken or fish based products yet, But all their sides are phenomenal. Especially their chili! 8/10

The fries were hot, I wish there was a bit less salt. I got the bacon cheeseburger it was very good. The chicken in the cashew chicken salad was cold, I wish it was a bit warmer if not hot. We got ice cream at the end both chocolate and vanilla were very good. The restaurant was decorated to perfection. I loved the wood look and feel it really matched the vibe of the restaurant. The curves of the corner were really cool and the chandelier matched the atheistic of that corner perfectly. I loved the structure of the restaurant. Everywhere but the bathroom was very tidy. What disappointed me the most was the bathroom. The decoration was good with automatic flushing toilets very good. Toilet paper on the floor and on the walls. The sink wasn't fully connected to the wall and that scared me a bit. There was also trash on the ground, I'm not sure if they thought I wouldn't see it but I did.

I don't write Yelp reviews often, but this place absolutely deserves one…read more From the moment I walked in, I could tell this wasn't just another coffee shop. The space strikes that perfect balance between cozy and modern--warm lighting, comfortable seating, and just enough background music to create ambiance without making it hard to have a conversation. It feels like somewhere you can settle in with a book, meet a friend, or get a few hours of work done without feeling rushed. What truly elevated my experience, though, was the service--especially Taylor. It's rare to come across someone who is both genuinely warm and highly attentive without being intrusive. Taylor greeted me with a friendly, welcoming energy and took the time to walk me through the menu when I mentioned I wanted something comforting but slightly different from my usual order. Their recommendation and enthusiasm felt authentic, not scripted, which made a big difference. I ended up ordering the raspberry chai, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The chai itself was beautifully spiced--rich notes of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and a subtle kick of ginger. The raspberry added a bright, slightly tart sweetness that complemented the warmth of the spices instead of overpowering them. The flavor balance was impressive; it wasn't overly sweet, and you could tell the ingredients were thoughtfully combined. It had a smooth, creamy texture and was served at the perfect temperature. Honestly, it was one of the most unique and well-crafted drinks I've had in a long time. Beyond my own experience, I noticed how attentive the staff was with other customers--checking in, remembering regulars, and maintaining a clean, welcoming space. The atmosphere feels community-oriented and intentional. You can tell this shop cares about quality, both in what they serve and how they treat people. Between the exceptional service from Taylor and a raspberry chai I'm still thinking about, this coffee shop has officially earned a spot in my regular rotation. If you're looking for a place with standout drinks and genuinely kind staff, this is it. Highly recommend.
