I highly recommend Morkes Chocolates!

Ever since Christy sold Christy's Dairy Delights, we haven't found it anywhere else. This is the best ice cream. So creamy. Super rich in flavor. Michigan pot hole, coffee and a lemon raspberry sorbet were our favorites. The smoothies are so fresh and sweet without being too sweet with artificial sweeteners. We like tropical harmony (guava is such an unexpected but bright and refreshing fruit in it). Very cute inside too. Our kids have a blast oohing and aahing at the big teddies or the swings. Music might be a little loud and maybe wish it was a touch brighter inside, but we love this place.

The Dead Kennedys had a song about this place:…read more "Too young! Too young to f***" I walked into Daisy's, looked behind the counter, and immediately felt like Chris Hansen was going to rappel through the ceiling. The P.O.A. Index wasn't merely unavailable, it had been confiscated by the State of Illinois, sealed in an evidence bag, and transported somewhere my lawyer strongly advised me not to follow. Everyone working there looked so young that instead of wondering whether anyone was attractive, I started wondering when everyone's mother was coming to pick them up. One girl asked what flavor I wanted and I nearly replied, "Whatever people ate before you were born." This wasn't an ice cream run anymore. This was a mortality check. I entered Daisy's as a reasonably youthful man looking for dessert and walked out mentally pricing burial plots and wondering whether Costco sells Metamucil by the pallet. Fortunately, the ice cream was excellent... except for the non-sensical names. Besides the one labeled "smores" it was like trying to decide the enigma machine from WWII. If one can decipher the flavors... the ice cream is rich, creamy, enormous portions, exactly the kind of old-school neighborhood ice cream that makes you temporarily forget you've apparently become old enough to have employees serving you who don't remember a world before smartphones. Five stars... begrudgingly. I went in wanting a cone. I came out eligible for a reverse mortgage.

That's not what you get here. This is like a Dairy Queen knock-off but not as good with the exception being they have lots of ices and lots of flavors for those ices. The ice cream is soft serve: chocolate, vanilla, or swirl. And when I asked the two young ladies to put cookies or M&Ms on our ice cream, I was told the toppings don't go on the ice cream. Then what are the toppings for?? The place is small so not great for sitting down and the girl helping us clearly had no idea what she was doing. I know it's probably just a summer job for her so no judgement. I just couldn't get over that toppings were not meant to put ON ice cream at this place. Wish I had gone up the road and tried Daisy's instead.

Their location is small, and it was pretty crowded (good for them). They have a wide variety of ice cream treats and shaved ice. We went for the shaved ice. Their portions are large, so a small is pretty big. I had a Pina Colada shaved ice. They do a nice job of rounding the top over the cup, which keeps it from dripping, too. They were generous with the syrup - it blended nicely throughout the ice. It was very good. We sat outdoors - they have several tables outside on the sidewalk. It was fun to talk with people at the other tables and watching people walk by.

They were delicious but we knew we weren't getting the best of the batch and also noticed people in the back making tons of donuts. So we decided to return for a 7 am donut run....... PERFECTION! The donuts were sooooo fresh and sweet and there were soooooo many flavors - the huge apple fritter was moist and our new favorite was the payday with vanilla, caramel icing and peanuts. But I think what really stood out was how long the donuts taste good after you buy them and Spunky Dunkers didn't disappoint. Get them home and in a ziploc bag or Tupperware and they tasted just as good 2 days later This place isn't a secret either and I see why. There were at least 10 people crowded around the cashier counter first thing in the morning for a fresh batch.

As soon as I came in through the door and said HELLO , the woman in front didn't reply or even look my way at all and the whole time I'm picking out donuts, she acted so impatient and unfriendly. Her actions made me feel anxious and angry and I just wanted to be done with the order and leave asap. No matter how good the donuts are, I would never be back after that kind of interaction. It's too bad that they sell such sweet wonderful donuts but have such a sour person as your first person to take care of you.

I'm impressed nobody has reviewed this place at all and it seems to have been open for well over 7 years according to Google. This place is a café with all vegan friendly food items. On top of that it is a gallery that offers classes too that you can buy art and support local artists. I had their spicy 7 tofu wrap on my end while my wife ordered another wrap. Staff here was absolutely friendly and courteous with us especially with no other guests inside. Prices were a bit above average with moderate wait times but the food itself was absolutely filling making the wait time worth it. They have a dessert menu too after which has a small selection of sweets. Overall, I was blown away from my visit here. Highly recommend coming back and visiting when you get a chance!
