    Great selection!
    Gabrielle B.

    While on roadtrips, my favorite thing to do is try new donut chops. Sweetwaters had great reviews and I can see why. The prices are insanely affordable half a dozen donuts were $7.99. Just a week ago, I paid $15 for 3 donuts in chicago. Sweetwater donuts were large and flavorful with a huge selection. I really enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake and cherry bomb. If I ever find myself back near Kalamazoo, I will 100% be back at Sweetwater !

    I finally was able to see where the magic happens in Kalamazoo! Sweetwater's Donut Mill is open 24 hours and near Kalamazoo College and Western Michigan University. I heard this is a student and local's favorite location. There are two locations in Kalamazoo and one in Battle Creek. I was amazed with the size of my Cinnamon Roll!!! It was as large as my face! lol I also chose a sour cream donut! They were both deliciously decadent! Donuts make you smile. I was smiling all the way back to Detroit!

    I went on a road trip to Kalamazoo and had to stop by after reading all of the amazing reviews. And I'm so glad I did! The shop is a classic, casual donut shop with lots of seating! As soon as I walked in, I was shocked by the many different flavors and types of donuts. They have fritters the size of heads and flavors like caramel apple! I unfortunately did not get the name of the staff that helped us, but he was super friendly and patient! I was even more surprised that half dozen donuts was only $8! I tried their flavor of the month, caramel apple donut, as a snack during the drive..and the only regret I have is not getting more! I highly recommend stopping by to try Sweetwater's donuts!

    Chocolate filled long john, completely empty of chocolate filling and with a giant empty space.

    This is conservatively the third time, I've ordered a chocolate filled long john and it is missing the filling. This time I've uploaded a picture of the donut being empty inside. I've never had experience with a donut shop like this that has repeatedly failed to include the advertised filling. It's also a $2.99 donut that is double the cost of a regular donut. Filling lovers beware!

    If you want to make your coworkers happy, just stop at Sweetwater's on your way back to Grand Rapids from Firekeepers casino and grab a dozen to share the next day. At least, that's what Nate and I have done several times over the years! He's from Kalamazoo so he introduced me to this place years ago. I am generally not a huge donut person but I always get one at Sweetwater's - either a strawberry cheesecake or a Boston cream. They are pretty big and quite inexpensive, plus they are open 24 hours (at least pre-covid times). I much prefer yeast donuts to cake donuts and especially at Sweetwater's - I've found their cake donuts to be a little dry. Either variety is best on the day it's purchased, but I've been known to have a donut snack over the next couple of days after buying a box. Do stop in if you're in the area and want a sweet treat!

    I'm best donuts in the cake. Cake donuts. They have all their dependable and often have specials. Like this weeks Oberon donut for Oberon day!!! Three locations. Two in the zoo and one in the creek!

    Found through TikTok. First time at Kalamazoo trying to put a visual from The Glenn Miller Orchestra song of same name. Had donuts in every state I've been in and have to say this now tops them all including the last best one I had in Stockton, CA.

    It would 100% be unacceptable if I came home to Kalamazoo for a visit and did not go to Sweetwater's! My friend that I stay with pretty much knows she is going to wake up one of the mornings that I am in town and there will either already be donuts waiting for her and I'll be sneaking out the door to get them for us, we are both early raisers. I chalk this up to pay of my payment for her letting me stay with them! LOL. And of course, I always send pictures or post online that I am there to rub in my family's face that is back in Florida. The ladies there always laugh at me cause I take forever to decide on my choices because there are so many and through our chit chat find it funny that I am visiting from Florida but there at 6am to get their donuts still after being gone for all these years. This last trip in January, I even drove for the first time in 13 years in SNOW to get them....I have priorities!

    I've heard great things about Sarkozy Bakery for years, but never had a chance to stop in since…read morethey close at 5 pm or earlier. We happened to be in town during lunch time so Nate and I stopped in for a quick bite. Their lunch menu includes some sandwiches, a couple salads, pizza, soup, and quiche. I got the ham and cheese sandwich, and Nate got an 8" pizza. The food came out pretty quickly, and I liked the sandwich. It had plenty of mayo and thickly sliced ham and cheese. It came with a little cup of pickled veggies, which I enjoyed. I had a bite of the pizza, which was very tasty! The prices were great - I think my sandwich was $7.50. We also got some pastries for dessert - I chose the cherry danish, and Nate got the pistachio croissant. Both were very tasty and not too sweet. The vibe of this bakery is more old-school and homey than some of the more "trendy" bakeries that I'm used to - not a bad thing, just a little different. They sell loaves of bread, cookies, and pastries. I loved their merch, too - cute pins, hats, tote bags, etc. They have brunch every Sunday and they were swapping out some art while we were there. It's a cute spot and I'm glad I finally got to check it out.

    The ham and cheese sandwich was perfect! The ham melted in your mouth! The cookies were hard but…read moretasty. The pastries were ok. The place had a great atmosphere with live music. Very nice!

    Best cake ever. Great customer service. 2nd time I have…read moreordered a cake from them, and both times everyone wants to know where I got it. I'll never go anywhere else.

    A complete nightmare! BEWARE!!…read more The owner Amy is full of herself and has absolutely no professional etiquette whatsoever. Starting with her inability to answer straight forward questions and ending with her backing out of contract and cancelling our order 50 days before my wedding after I already paid the down payment! She cancelled the contract and refunded the down payment I made to hold the date - leaving us to find another cake vendor on short notice! Her excuse? She has worked "for Bert's for 42 years and made over 10,000 cakes and feels like no matter what she does, she won't make me happy." Photo attached. All I did was ask about the pricing for the samples because no other cake vendor had required payment for samples so I didn't know how much they cost. I also asked her which location we should visit to try the samples. Lastly, I told her that I couldn't believe that she was charging us the same amount to deliver the cake across the street as she would charge us if she were driving across town. I didn't say I wouldn't pay for delivery... I just told her I was surprised that she would do that. The other cake vendor we were considering wasn't charging us a delivery fee at all and they are located 30 miles away from our church! I was put off by how unprofessional she was from the beginning when I first reached out last fall. The only reason I decided to finally give Amy a chance is because she was cheaper and right across the street from our church. Now I understand, you get what you pay for...... because Amy is a MESS. Absolutely awful and I feel sorry for anyone who has had to deal with her. I saw in other reviews that she is described as rude, cheap, disorganized, snobby, and that she talks down to customers. I can confirm that she is ALL of these things and worse. The cake isn't even that good and at this point I'd rather buy one from Sam's Club than have to work with Amy and her staff. She doesn't send you a contract until you pay her a down payment, which is strange. Typically you create a contract/agreement, have both parties sign it, and then you ask for the deposit. The contract looked incredibly sketchy - Words were misspelled, font was all over the place, punctuation and grammar were hideous. Photo attached. Just so you know, AMY - Nobody cares HOW MANY YEARS you've been making cakes, HOW MANY CAKES you've made in your lifetime or HOW GREAT YOU THINK THEY TASTE if you continue to be a an inconsiderate, egotistical, uneducated, defensive, stubborn old woman who can't figure out how to treat people and keep your word. That's just bad business... I don't care who you are. I'll "wish you the best" as well...
