Eleanor's assortment is incredible! I've been a couple of times, but this time most recently with…read morethe Murder Mystery Crawl (hosted by Saline Main Street and Mind the Gap Theater!) As part of the crawl, we got to try their incredible truffles. They're giant Nespresso-Vertuo-pod-like domes. I tried the peanut butter and it was a peanut butter lover's DREAM. I also squealed in delight that they carry Peelerz (IYKYK!!). I also ended up trying their gelato, which is from Iorio Gelato. I was informed that they're local and used to have a storefront. It was....pretty bad unfortunately. It was my first gelato in states after our trip to Italy and the texture (icy) and flavor (did not taste like pistachio) unfortunately were completely wrong, so I don't recommend trying the pistachio gelato at this time. Maybe their other flavors are better, but I'll stick to the truffles and packaged candy here.

I stopped by here when in A2 this past week, I was visiting the Bakehouse for a work article. We…read morehave recently written about the Candy Manufactory for work too so I was curious to actually see it! I've never actually had any of Zingerman's candy bars so I bought two full size bars, plus a small version of the Cashew Cow. I think both the Zzang and Peanut Butter Crush were equally good. The store also has non-Zingerman's brand candies, such as Venchi, which is also a high-end brand. The shop doubles as a coffee shop, as well, and I think may have also had some small food items, but don't quote me on that. Overall, I would return the next time I'm in town.

The service was fine and they were just your standard checkout people. It was bright, well lit and lots of interesting things to look at. It was very busy. But it was set in the right tone in terms of where it's located and what we were doing there. Would recommend coming back to check things out. Even though there was a lot of things, it was more for the look of it like some really good candies I think. I prefer candies that have less artificial ingredients and maybe imported from Europe versus some of the things that they have which are kind of more for fun than to Eat

I visit this chocolate shop a few times a year to pick up gifts for family and friends and, of…read morecourse, myself! A small town, local, chocolate shop where nearly everything is made by the owner! :) I've been to several small, local chocolate shops in the state and this one is far and away my favorite. Prices are reasonable for some great chocolate candies. My dad absolutely loves their nuggats and often asks for them for his birthday and Christmas. As others have mentioned, if you're not sure what to get go for the one of everything box! Finally, Milford is a pretty cute small downtown area so if you're making the trip make sure to take the time to do some window shopping and experience the rest of what this town has to offer - it's really quite scenic.

We first discovered BonBonBon at a hip Valentine's craft fair at the Majestic Theater in 2019 and…read morewe've been hooked ever since. Their chocolate creations are not only delicious, but creative and unlike any other treats out there. Back in the day, it was not unusual for us to make a 40 minute drive into Hamtramck or Detroit to get a Bon fix, so you can imagine how excited we were as they opened more storefronts across Metro Detroit. The Ann Arbor store is my favorite because it's just a short lunchtime walk from work! This is a business that you can feel really good about supporting. Not only is their product top notch, but their practices prioritize quality, sustainability ,community and inclusion. It has been fun watching their tremendous growth over the last seven years and cheering them on from the sidelines!

Insanely cute chocolate shop down in Nickels Arcade [which is a tiny alley with an assortment of…read moreshops like a vintage store and clothing store]. They have an array of flavors of bon bons (chocolates with a filling inside) lined up behind the glass case including fudge brownie, peanut butter and jam, and much more unique combinations that I paid no attention to because i was enamored with the rest of the shop. They had all sorts of knick knacks, stickers (some were for free!), mini greeting cards, shirts, tote bags, cool shaped chocolates on the shelves. Each bon bon is $3.50 and it gets individually packaged in a tiny box. If you're feeling extra, you can buy a cute cardboard carrier case for your chocolate treasures ($2). Otherwise you can still get it packaged in a cute box for free (pictured). As for the actual bon bons: - The fudge brownie one had a deep chocolate flavor with only about 35% sweetness which was quite dismaying. - The PB&J one was sweeter which I liked and the jam added a bit of tartness. Comparatively, this bon bon had more complexity than the dark bitterness of the fudge brownie.

If you're into CUTE THINGS, this place is for you! It's a great spot for gift ideas for all ages, especially if you have someone in your life that loves novelty items or is just big into fandoms! I saw Avatar: The Last Airbender items in here, BTS (!!!) items in here, FRIENDS, Parks and Rec, The Office, general adorable PLUSHIES, the list goes on! There's something for everyone! Also, retro/nostalgic candy GALORE as well! I kept on saying, as I walked through this store, how nostalgic everything was making me feel. It's all so darn cute! We absolutely loved it! Ended up picking up some novelty items for friends and definitely have my eye on more (especially for myself) and will be coming back here whenever I'm in the Ferndale area to scoop up more!!

This place was neat. I hadn't seen it before and according to the other reviews on here, they moved…read morefrom a Woodward location to 9 Mile, so that would explain it. 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.

Walked in and quickly greeted - i had about three people ask if i need anything; literally were chatting with other customers and making everyone being seen.

I think someone was doing inventory or just general work and i ask him about the taste of item; he said "take a sample" and you should've seen my face because other stores dont want you to try again unfortunately. This was a big selling point for me - i'm not going to go crazy but this allow customers to be able to explore a little more. Pricing is pretty much the same - customer service is WINNING here. Well i return; yes i definitely will be back. Side note - they sell doggy treats too! Happy Eating!!!
