One thing about me is that I absolutely love sweets, so I couldn't resist stopping by this candy…read morestore as I passed by. First off, I have to give a shoutout to the owner--he was incredibly friendly and even let my girlfriend sample some fudge. The store had an endless variety of both new and old-school candies to choose from. They even had this really cool jelly bean machine with a wide assortment of flavors to bag up. Before leaving, I made sure to grab some treats to share with my family too! I can't wait to come back in the summer to see what new goodies they'll have.

Candy shops and popcorn shops are what elevate a vacation town from A to S tier. You need these…read moresupplemental sweets for the days when you're not devouring enormous scoops of ice cream. Or...perhaps even for the days when you are? Maybe it's ice cream in town and candy back at the vacation rental. Sweet Haven ticks all the boxes: various small candy in bulk; taffy in bulk; old-fashioned packaged candy; higher-end chocolates; Jelly Bellys; and of course FUDGE. It's a dangerous and delightful place. I'm not sure about the prices. This stuff *seems* expensive, but since you don't buy an armload of candy very often (do you??), it's hard to tell. So just go ahead and treat yourself (and your kids I guess, but mostly you, because sugar is bad for kids) and see whether you can make it last beyond the journey home at the end of the trip.

Kilwins has been a favorite for years! We have frequented locations all over Michigan over our the…read moreyears and found the flavors quite consistent!! We only ever get ice cream, so that's all I can speak on here! :) I always expect a line and almost always find one. ;) In our experience they keep the line moving along and the wait is never too much to bear! ;) The ice cream choices are numerous and this location conveniently offers a QR code that you can scan to take a look before the flavors are before you! The only problem is that I didn't notice this until someone else pointed it out - it wasn't obvious and I could not find a menu on the wall as I am accustomed to! I'm glad someone else noticed because I needed some time to properly go through the flavors and make my decision! ;) With a regular size cone you can only choose one flavor - I appreciate when 2 flavors are allowed, but I understand when it's not. So many delicious choices make it hard for me to choose just one! ;) A favorite for years has been the toasted coconut! On this recent visit I was so surprised to see that they now offer a chocolate toasted coconut option - of course I had to try! While it was good, it didn't trump the OG!! Another family fav is the yellow cake batter!! Kilwins makes their own waffle cones, you can tell by the amazing smell when you enter the door! They are delicious and often served still a little warm, which is my favorite!! The only downside to this quaint and adorable little beachside shop are the price points! This location runs higher than other locations we've visited that are not along the lakeshore beach towns... :( They are quite expensive and families with several to feed will notice that pretty quickly! This is the reason I can only give 3 starts... I wish the prices were more reasonable - this has kept us from choosing Kilwin's many times over the years as there ARE other equally amazing options in town with much better prices for a delicious ice cream cone!!

For the most part, ice cream is ice cream, there are a few brands that are more delicious than…read moreothers, but this is pretty standard HOWEVER, the prices have gotten so exorbitant, that I won't even bother going there any longer. Not just for ice cream, either, but for all their sweets. I'd rather just walk by and smell the waffle cones cooking and pay $11 for one scoop of ice cream or $5 for a tiny truffle. Everyone seems very nice, but they're just a few young kids working there.

I was so excited to finally visit the store in person, and it didn't disappoint. It's a small, quaint shop with a cozy hometown feel, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. They were genuinely welcoming, happy to chat, and made the whole experience enjoyable. You can tell they care about their customers and the products they sell. If you're anywhere nearby, stop in and grab a jar...even if you think you don't like mustard. Trust me on this one!

I love me some good olive oil to dip in some good bread and Parmesan cheese. I came across their slow roasted garlic olive oil and had to buy it. Love that garlic smell. It was originally $30 for 500 ml but with discount came out to $25. Overall, service was great, I felt welcomed and product was top notch. Would come back again!

This being my first ring, I wasn't sure about the fit, though Ward advised that a ring should "pop" over my knuckle to ensure a true fit, but I insisted on a ring that fit loosely and comfortably. After much ado, trying on different sizes (and arguing over who would pay) I left the shop with a beautiful Claddagh ring. Though within the hour, I realized that Ward had been right, the ring was in fact, too big. I called him, explained that I'd make a mistake on insisting on the bigger ring and he insisted my boyfriend and I come back to get a ring that fit. After sheepishly apologizing while trying on a smaller size, he said with a smile "If this is the worst thing to happen to me, today will be a great day!" Ward's geniality and concern of my comfort with my precious ring will ensure that I always make a trip to Biddy Murphy any time that I'm in South Haven and I encourage all visitors to stop in. If for nothing else, to be greeted by their official store mascot, Mocha, a very friendly and affectionate black lab.
