It's February, which means it's time to start thinking about buying sweets for your sweetie. We…read morecame in because I'm obsessed with cashews and we wanted to check out their prices. We step in and nobody is in sight but within about 20 seconds someone came into the main room and greeted us. We were looking at all the sweet treats and settled on 6 milk chocolate peanut butter cups for 60 cents each. I enjoyed them, but it would have been an extra bonus if they had used sea salt like they did with different items and charged a touch more. Everything was reasonably priced and they had some unique items, like chocolate covered orange peels. If you're looking for some nuts, chocolate or gummies for your significant other and are in the Kalamazoo area I'd come in and check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Some things are made here and other things are bought, fyi. I do think this is info that should be apparent and not something you should have to ask, since everything is repackaged with their own label. They do roast the nuts and make the brittle there. I normally love chocolate dipped pretzels but the coating on those and the graham crackers is way too thick, disappointing. The whole point is to have the contrast between the crunch and the chocolate. The prices are reasonable and the woman who helped me was very nice. I would stop in again to try some other things.

Rocket Fizz is like a retro candy store from the 1960s, carrying every candy brand imaginable. It…read moreconjures up nostalgia from a bygone era before people started buying in bulk from warehouse stores and online. The service is very friendly. A lot of the candy here I'd never heard of before. The candy and drinks are from every region of the USA as well as from Europe and Asia that can't be found in most stores. Shopping here is a fun and unique experience with something for everyone. I bought peanut butter Goo Goo Clusters from Nashville and Twin Bing from Sioux City, Iowa, both candies I have not seen sold in my neck of the woods. Rocket Fizz is a must visit when in Kalamazoo.

I love this place! They always have the best candy options! I love to check out this place when I'm…read moredowntown Kalamazoo.

Who doesn't love a bowl of cereal of one of the beloved flavors made by the Kellog Company? Heck, I…read moreenjoy so much that I have Kellog branded bowls in various designs.

Bilberry Jams and Jellies is one of the newest entries to Kalamazoo's vibrant Farmers' Market scene…read moreand brings a really interesting variety of jams, preserves and salsas to the table. Many of their jams contain spirits and spices that add an extra bit of punch (their peach salsa jam, for example, contains jalepenos and their peaches of the Caribbean contains rum). Bilberry participates in both the Kalamazoo Farmers' Market and the Night Market (which occurs the third Thursday of the month throughout the summer).

Bilberry James are simply the best. I love their spicy/sweet combination jams. My kids love…read moreeverything they come up with! The owners work hard to collaborate with other local producers and vendors and support a lot of other small business. Despite having a large family, they make time to bring their jams and jellies to the Farmer's market each week. I can't stop at the Market without buying a jar or two. Highly recommend!

These little cheesy bread balls are amaze-balls ... just the right combination of crunchy and gooey, nice sharp cheesey flavor, and such a great bready treat ... especially if you're gluten free and other cheese breads are non-options. They come in four flavors (original, garlic, jalepeno and rosemary -- both the garlic and the rosemary are favorites in my household). They're available at several shops locally -- I typically pick them up at Salut, where I first tasted them at an Art Hop event.
