I arrived seeking something suitable to take back from Canada to the U.S., and found a small but…read morevery full shop with numerous intriguing baked goods. I was particularly happy with the option to get a box of miniature cupcakes, which are easy to share, easy to transport, and easy on the wallet. They were quite pleasant. For myself, an apple cinnamon scone was just fantastic in taste and texture, and a churro-flavored bar was gloriously indulgent. I couldn't see that this was the sort of bakery that caters to special dietary needs, and I was also surprised to find nothing maple flavored (what kind of Canadians are these?), but I could go elsewhere if I had such needs. For what they do, they executed quite well for me.

I only wish they had a bigger space they could fill with more goods :)

We first discovered BonBonBon at a hip Valentine's craft fair at the Majestic Theater in 2019 and…read morewe've been hooked ever since. 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. Not only does the variety of locations support our Bon3 obsession, but each store is visually stunning and unique! This is a business that you can feel really good about supporting. Not only is their product top notch, but their practices prioritize quality, sustainability ,community and inclusion. It has been fun watching their tremendous growth over the last seven years and cheering them on from the sidelines!

This is some of the best chocolate I've ever tasted in my entire life. Typically I feel like a bon…read morebon is a ripoff...I mean....$3.50 for a tiny piece of chocolate? But this...this is worth it. I wouldn't pay more, but I would pay $3.50 again for a special treat. The place is absolutely adorable, great selection, and the taste...OMG. So why 4 stars? In a place like this it's easy to get overwhelmed and it would be nice to have some customer service...greeting people, explaining a bit about the options in packaging and prices. I likely would have gotten more had I known anything about the place and only saw other options as I was already paying. Missed opportunity "just" cashing people out vs learning first time in, etc, that would guarantee more sales and repeat business. It's too beautiful and tasty to not have that great attention to detail as well.

The knafa is perfectly crunchy and the pistachio paste was just the right amount (not too dry or soggy when mixed with knafa). The chocolate was milky and rich and the strawberries were fresh and plentiful. For the amount you get (again the cup is fairly heavy), the price point of $15 is very reasonable. A must try!

WOW! Just check out the mega huge croissants!

I tried the almond, chocolate and cheese croissants so far. I liked the chocolate the most but they were all good and very flaky. I just wish the cheese croissants used Asiago for the cheese - it's a bit stronger flavor than whatever cheese they used. They were very generous and included a couple of cookies in the box for free with the order. I'll be going back to try some of the other pastries soon.

First visit but we were made to feel like old friends. Ahmed (?) was more than helpful. I decided on Mint Chocolate gelato which was delightful. A nice hot cuppa joe and I was set. Everyone else had Boba drinks or smoothies. This is its own culture unto itself. Like a new concept opening for us. This young man was bursting with information and great recommendations. Hope he's here on our return visit! It was a small trip to watch more than a dozen guys congregating late at night without the benefit of alcohol. Hanging out, rapping it out, over a variety of gelato. Pretty inspiring, in a way. That's the vibe. Sure the ice cream is delicious, but it's such a relaxing atmosphere to just enjoy each other's company and watch everybody getting along....enjoying life. 04/25
