I stopped by here for the first time this week - I had a work appointment at Zingerman's Bakehouse,…read moreand figured I'd try out the Creamery and the candy store next door too. I am a big Swiss fan so I asked if they had any - I ended up buying a small piece of one, which ended up being tasty, and also an aged cheddar they had, called Prairie Farms - they had a sample of it and it was DELICIOUS, which swayed me to try it. They also sell tiny little charcuterie boxes here and even big things of gelato. Everything looked really good. Staff is also very friendly - the girl behind the counter is a recent UM grad so we talked about that, I'm a 2009 alum. $6-7 for a small block of cheese is pretty standard for gourmet cheeses too, so I didn't think it was super pricey (although they did have some for $15+). I definitely want to stop by here again the next time I'm in A2.

After a disappointing lunch in Ypsi, we turned to Yelp for something sweet…read more How 'bout Gelato? Head to Zingerman's Creamery! Quickly. This is an excellent stop for all things dairy. Mostly, cheese for me. Today I picked up: six ounces of a very creamy Goat cream cheese, a smoked salmon cream cheese and a Goat feta. Since we had a cooler, I also bought a half pound of Detroit Street Brick cheese. It begins as a dense, crumbly cheese with a twist of lemon and ages into more of a savory, spicy flavour. The star of the show is the gelato. I say the best is the Coffee flavour. Closely followed by the Peanut Butter chocolate and the Dark chocolate. Today we split a Cherry Cream Cheese Gelato. It really hit the spot. The prices are a bit steep. You're paying for quality, not quantity. Always an education talking cheese with these folks! 08/24

I also got the double dark chocolate, which was decent but a little more lackluster than I expected.

Every time I walk by there's basically a line around the block, so clearly people love it. Thankfully when I actually went, the service moved pretty quickly.

Shoutout to my friend and fellow foodie Tiffany for always being down to try a new spot together!…read moreWe did a double date at El Harissa recently and it's my favorite kind of spot - welcoming and warm, with delicious food, and kind, patient employees. The cafe is a few tables inside of the market/deli, with a lot of takeout happening but I love that they offer dining in as they heat everything up for you and it's all presented very nicely. We ordered a ton of things: harissa dip, hummus, pita, spice roasted cauliflower, tabbouleh, lasagne verde, chicken tagine, and gelato. I loved that the menu indicates which menu items have a smaller carbon footprint - and we happened to be dining there on Earth Day! The food was all flavorful and the perfect temperature, which I appreciated. My favorites were the harissa dip, tabbouleh, and the lasagne verde. The chicken tagine was very good, and we enjoyed the leftovers the next day. The spice roasted cauliflower left us wanting it to be a bit more crispy, but it was a nice side. The gelato is delicious - it's made by Palazzolo's but El Harissa provides them with the unique ingredients for their specialty flavors. They were out of some but we got to sample several. We ended up with the roasted pistachio gelato and the apricot peach cardamom. The texture of the gelato was perfectly creamy and the flavors were strong. The market has lots of great items to buy: chips, tunisian olive wood pieces, spices, etc. I'm so glad we sought out this spot and can't wait to get more of their food!

They have specialty coffees, bagels, pastries, pie, gelato, chocolate, etc!! I went with the Lady Grey (earl grey tea with home made vanilla) drink and a cinnamon raisin bagel with plain cream cheese. The Lady Grey was sooo good! The bagel was over toasted and super hard and the cream cheese was kinda powdery :0p I should have ordered something else. I definitely will be back! They have restrooms and more seating upstairs.

Additionally, it's an excellent early morning spot for coffee, espresso drinks, bagels, or pastries. In warmer weather the outside is open, including the front porch. Otherwise, it's grab a table downstairs or go up to the second floor. In short, the best bagels include the sea salt and plain. For whatever reason they had to discontinue the egg bagels, but try a currant scone of cinnamon sweet roll instead. Pricy? Yes, but the quality of ingredients is what makes it worthwhile. I found a new favorite latte, the golden one with turmeric and other things. Otherwise, house drip pour is a great go-to. All-in-all, it was nice to get reacquainted, however briefly.

Think cookies, macarons, cakes, and gelato. Plus delightful candies, cookie mixes, spice blends, marshmallows, etc. They also carry super cute tea and kitchen accessories like mugs, teapots, tins, linens and more. The shop itself is adorable. Full of delightful touches and colorful decor. Staff is super sweet and the treats themselves are delicious. I've always been a fan of the Tea Haus macarons and they carry them here, in more ambitious designs and flavors too. The gelato is also delicious. I had a scoop of the blueberry with a delicious tea infusion and it was flavorful and delightfully creamy. Such a fun and delightful addition to Kerrytown. Definitely stop by if you're in the area.

-cute concept and shop -macaron flavors are good in theory…read morebut what you get is really hit or miss -gelato flavors are very weak, tastes mostly like milk -a staff member once gave us a visibly older macaron and didn't offer to exchange it for a fresh one when we pointed it out (there was one old one vs five fresh ones) The gelato and macarons here have been underwhelming, especially since they're supposed to be the focus here. I'm also confused by the macaron flavors, as they aren't tea-inspired. I would go to TeaHaus over this extension, as their tea is good and they have seating. Gelato - very dense and milky. A medium (2 scoops) is $4. I tried the strawberry green tea and an earl gray with lavender shortbread, and both mostly just tasted like milk - the flavors are accurate, but they're very weak and difficult to detect. The caramel and black tea with sea salt had a mild caramel taste but no salt. They do offer samples. Macarons ($2.25 each) - flavors are good but shells need work. They're really big (about 2.5" in diameter), and the rotating flavors are often fun and creative. Le Bon Macaron has better shell quality, but the flavors here are better. Compared to when I first tried them 3 or 4 years ago the macarons have improved, but out of the ones I tried recently only one (chocolate malt in July) was decent. Quality is really hit or miss depending on the batch you happen to get. -raspberry key lime (August) - really sugary with a weak lime flavor -bubblegum (July) - tasted very much like bubblegum but the shells were very crunchy and overbaked, and there were huge air pockets -superman (July) - too chewy and soft -brown butter pecan (July) - good flavor but shells were dry and too crunchy, and the buttercream was very stiff and buttery
