There were a wide variety of Belgian chocolates to choose from and beautiful packaging. There were premade boxed if giving as a gift or individual options if indulging for oneself. Jacob gave suggestions and also brought out samples which sold me on some good options. I opted for a Standard box and picked two layers of boozy chocolate (yes, boozy) and one additional layer of chocolates without the adult component. I didn't purchase any Belgian beer but they looked interesting. Parking was not far in the lot nearby with reasonable parking at $1.25/hour.

They have so many chocolate options and gift ideas in store Truffles and bar is good. Chocolate is smooth and bar contain plenty of toppings. Truffles have a good balance of sweetness pair with melt in your mouth filling. They do use soy lecithin in their chocolate. It helps with quality control. But high end chocolate not supposed to have that.

My only hold up with this place is that the space is too large and not well set up. You have to walk all the way along a counter to get to the chocolate case but then walk all the way back up front to check out. Additionally, there's not much decor. They could definitely benefit from some.

The 70% dark chocolate is some of the best you will ever try! Our host and owner is so lovely, she was patient with the beginner questions and offered nothing but her extensive knowledge which is invaluable. A small tight production, you can see the care and attention to detail. They are the only chocolate make in the greater Detroit area, most others are chocolatiers who fashion their good from premade chocolates that are laden with sugar. With Dwaar you will taste the notes of the chocolate. And they should sell those roasted cacao seeds, they are delis and addictive! For high quality dark search them out!

Dark chocolate is the least of my favorite chocolate variety, but after having a bite of DWAAR…read morechocolate I developed a deeper appreciation .. more so having after gaining knowledge on how the dark chocolate bar was originally made of ... from cacao beans imported from a country like Ecuador. Tons of dried beans are imported to Michigan, which is then roasted, shells removed, grind, mixed and tempered to shape as a bar, bonbon and other holiday shapes. Each bar individual bar is priced a bit higher than the commercial chocolate late because DWAAR chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa and much darker in color. The chocolate maker / owner of DWAAR chocolate is very passionate about her product. Be assured the she creates the highest quality of dark chocolate you can find only Michigan. The owner received an award and was featured in magazines, online and tv. I wish in the near future she will be able to mass produce and supply chocolate discs that can be melted and used as coating in fruits, chips, apples and pretzels. Must try the so-called sipping chocolate which is 100% dark.

I enjoy finding hidden gems on Yelp. An excellent small business like Mrs. Mason's deserves more attention. Mrs. Mason's specializes in handmade premium brittle and brittle bonbons. The owner was the only person when I visited on a Sunday morning. She gave me samples, and everything I tried in Mrs. Mason's brittle and bonbon collection was delicious, crunchy, and buttery. I bought an 8 oz. gift box of Heart & Soul Brittle ($26.95) for my college professor. I also purchased an 8 oz. bag of Bare-Naked Cashew Brittle ($22.95) for my mom. They both thought the brittle was delicious. A bit pricey, but it makes an excellent gift for anyone who likes brittle or bonbons.

The brittle has a nice thicker layer of the toffee, two layers of the white chocolate as well as the semi-sweet chocolate.

The smaller 4 ounce is great to accompany a charcuterie gift set or a stocking stuffer too.

We've been here several times on the weekend (even with the kids). The line is never too long, although it can look long but it moves quickly. All the pastries are in the refrigerated case or sitting atop of the counter for you to ogle and salivate at while you patiently wait to give your order. Everything we've tried has been delicious, almost too decadent from the cakes to croissants to sandwiches. We've also had their coffees and hot chocolate. Can't go wrong with a handcrafted beverage to warm you up or cool you down. They do provide a water carafe on the house you just have to go up and get water yourself either way the cups provided. There is a side register near the exit, not sure if that's just for coffee or pickups. Haven't investigated that yet. They have some seating inside of tables and bar seating but nothing more the a 2-3 seats per table, not a place for a large group. Outside on the patio they have large umbrellas and heat lamps depending on the weather. It's also better luck to find a table that can accommodate 4 outside, although the tables are small cafe tables to it's a little cramped for 4, perfect for 2-3. They have low and high top tables available. If you do have a larger group, there is a park a block and a half up Eton that has picnic tables and benches so you can always take your treasures to go and enjoy some people watching at the park. Ample parking is available in the lot just make sure you go in the correct driveway at the north end since it's a one way in/out situation.

Food & Sweets The dessert case is massive and filled with some of the most beautiful pastries I've ever seen. Here's just a sample of what caught my eye: * Pistachio Turkish Shells * Pistachio White Chocolate Fingers * Pistachio Turkish Squares * Cannoli dusted with powdered sugar * Fresh Fruit Tarts piled high with kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries * Classic Fruit Cake * Creamy Mocha Cake slices * Rich Black Forest cake with chocolate curls * Oreo cheesecake bars * Stunning purple mousse dome cakes topped with gold leaf * A dramatic chocolate drip cake perfect for celebrations They also serve ice cream and specialty Dubai chocolates, making the whole place feel like a global dessert market. Everything I tried was delicious -- flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. Ambiance & Decor The shop itself is bright, cute, and beautifully decorated. You can tell they designed the environment to match the beauty of the sweets. The displays are spotless, well-lit, and truly picture-perfect. Service Everyone was friendly and patient, even with the constant flow of customers staring at the dessert cases trying to decide what to pick (because choosing just one is almost impossible). Location Notes Parking is manageable, and the area is easy to access. The shop feels like a special treat destination -- the type of place worth going out of your way for. Overall This is a must-visit for anyone who loves pastries, pistachio desserts, high-end sweets, or just beautiful food in general. Totally worth the drive. I'm already planning my next trip.
