I've tried his other truffles (which are all far superior to anything you'd get at Godiva or other fancy chocolate shops (and cheaper too!), but the cinnamon cayenne are definitely my faves. Pete also makes several wonderful hot cocoas. Needless to say, the spicy version is a favorite in my household. If you can't find Pete at Eastern Market, I've also found the cocoas at the Shinola stores and at the Pewabic store downtown.

The thing I like the most is that they are curated from small businesses.

Follow on social media for updates on events and offerings. Tip: you can buy online for shipping to your home or pick up in store. It's great for those who like to shop online. Me included. Detroit Monopoly was my favorite online order. Pleasant staff. Lots to choose from with affordable pricing.

This place has everything you need when visiting Detroit…read more I specifically went for drinks and snacks for my hotel room. This place has more, much more. I appreciate the fact that it stays open late, considering most of the restaurants downtown close early by Miami standards. I did deduct one star because it's a bit sketch. As written by another Yelper, they absolutely make the most of the space!

But for those who live in Bricktown or Greektown or perhaps you're staying at one of the nearby hotels, it's got what you need. Everything from snacks and drinks to laundry detergent and fresh meats. There's barely enough room for two people to pass down an aisle so be prepared. But for us, looking for beers and some spirits to enjoy back at the hotel? Just what we needed.

From their cakes and cookies, to their parfaits and macaroons, everything just hits. On a most recent visit, I tried their biscoff parfait and it was a show stopper. It was hard for me to enjoy my Matilda chocolate cake (though I managed) knowing that I had more biscoff parfait to eat. They do coffee and other assorted beverages as well, but those are just support for the real stars of the show here, their desserts. I cannot say one bad thing I have had here (though a friend of mine says their cinnamon rolls were underwhelming). OVERALL - a great ending to an evening, or a destination unto itself. Get some, now!

I also witnessed an employee graciously handle a homeless looking dude who kept on asking about cookie-dough when clearly that's not available.

We looked over all the flavors and was excited to find out you could mix two in one cup. I chose strawberry lemonade and blue raspberry. Before walking out I realized that I wasn't sure what "water ice" was. So I asked. I was told " ice, sugar, and syrup" It was such a beautiful day so we sat outside at the table and chairs to eat our frozen treat. I personally did not like it. It tasted like a mouthful full of straight frozen syrup. It was like eating a slushie with a spoon. I gave the rest to my fiancé because that was too much artificial sugar on my palate. Water ice is definitely not for me.

First issue: our reservation was canceled through OpenTable, which already started the night off poorly on what was supposed to be a special occasion. The food was extremely disappointing. The fish was inedibly salty, to the point no one at the table could finish it. The drinks were just as bad -- watery, with all the candy sitting at the bottom, offering more for looks than taste. To make it worse, there was no dry ice, which is a big part of why people come here in the first place. Everything was wildly overpriced for the quality we received. For a place that markets itself on experience and celebration, it completely missed the mark. This was meant to be a fun birthday dinner, and instead it was frustrating and disappointing from start to finish. For the price and the hype, we expected much better.

It feels like a family restaurant that can't wait to get to know you. (R&B and modern soul softly plays in the background as you eat and converse.)

Asked for eggs cooked lightly & THATS WHAT THE FUCK I GOT!!!!!! No picture cause I fucked them eggs up!!!! Food: See above comment. Fresh fruit, fluffy warm French toast could have been a little more hotter BUT that shit was slapping. I drink regular coffee BUT as my server explained to me the have COFFEE like over 10 varieties.

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.
