Still love it! Still agree with everything in my previous write up from 6 years ago (good on you…read morefor maintaining the quality!) but I had to write a quick update to give a huge shout out to the new (to me, at least) treat on the menu here--THE WALKING STRAWBERRIES! I mean, what's better than a cup of fresh strawberries covered in a ladle of warm, melted chocolate? Not much, I have to say! And you can take your pick between dark and milk chocolate (I highly recommend the dark). My only complaint is that they're over an hour away from me. I keep dreaming about them!

One of our favourite things is that you can grab any brick and have the staff slice off a smaller portion if you don't want the whole thing. Super convenient, and the team is always friendly and happy to help. It was tough to choose, but we ended up taking home the Mont Buffalo Wing Cheese, Maple Syrup Cheese, and the Smoked Butter. All amazing. We also grabbed some Wisconsin cheese curds, which were tasty, though we do wish they had that squeaky bite we love. Would've also loved some free samples (or maybe they were there and we just didn't see them!). Highly recommend checking this shop out.

The cupcakes are beautiful in appearance and quality in taste. My family sampled quite a few (cuz we don't play small) and our favs were the raspberry white chocolate and the butterbeer. But all their flavors are worth trying if you need to satisfy your sweet tooth! Yum. Don't forget to pick up a treat for your pup while you're in there too! They have an elaborate selection of goodies for canines.

I really want to love this place because it IS a cute little coffee shop with a lot of potential…read more The vibe is cozy at first glance, but once you settle in, you start noticing some things that could definitely use improvement... shaky tables, sparse seating, and a general "almost there" feeling with the interior. The bigger issue for me is the pricing and consistency. Charging an extra $1 for alternative milk in 2026 feels a little like cash grab? Especially when a lot of people order it out of necessity, not preference. On top of that, the specialty lattes have gone up another dollar in the past year, which makes the quality even more important. I've had good drinks here before, so I know they CAN do it well but this last visit was rough. My $6.50 "specialty" latte tasted like burnt coffee water with none of the flavor I ordered. For that 20% increase in price, I expect to actually taste the specialty part. That said, the employees were genuinely kind and super helpful. They happily added more almond milk to help salvage my very sad latte, and I appreciated their attitude a lot. Overall it's a cute spot with sweet staff, but the pricing and drink consistency need some serious attention. I'd love to see them tighten things up because it really could be great.

On a recent sunny weekday afternoon, I decided that I needed a mini road trip, and took the time to…read morecheck out Frankenmuth. No spontaneous afternoon is complete without some ice cream, and I quickly found a place there that served some big scoops. After mulling over a number of flavors (sadly, not able to sample at this time of the pandemic) I decided on a small serving of cake batter ice cream. I was expecting something about a third of the size, but I wasn't going to complain -- never a thing as too much ice cream! I grabbed a table outside in the shopping center and dug in, but sadly found that I couldn't finish the whole serving. Hot temperatures melting the ice cream plus me filling up on the huge serving meant that a bit of it went to waste. It's an ideal size to share with someone if you just need a little something sweet! Still, when the warm weather has you screaming for ice cream, it's not a bad place to grab a scoop!

Despite our substantial lunches, we were still tempted by the baked offerings at Zehnder's Bakery…read more The selection is huge, so we first lapped the store before making any final selections. We were greeted with different loaves of bread, sliced and bagged; I had eyes only for Stollen bread. Other baked goods, seasonings, jams, salad dressings, and more were there. My friend and I both ended up at the bakery case, where we picked out some treats. I ended up with cherry and apple fritters and a pineapple hand pie. The fritters were okay; I had one at the end of the day and thought it was a bit stale. The pastry for the hand pie was a bit more like shortbread than pie dough so not to my taste. However, the staff at the bakery counter were friendly and helpful. The place was buzzing but they worked quickly to accommodate all of us, even the undecided.
