We have frequently stopped for an ice cream after an evening spent in South Haven. We almost always…read morepick the same spot, just down the road. After noticing the line to this place extending down the sidewalk both times we were walking through town on a recent Friday evening, we decided to try this place instead of our usual! Trust the locals, isn't that what they say?!? ;) This spot DID NOT disappoint!!!! WOW! SO, SO good!! Also super cute and clean! They keep the line moving so don't be thwarted if there appears to be a wait!! You'll need some time to decide your flavor from the long list of amazing sounding options!! ;) South Pier Creamery offers SO MANY unique flavors and the three that we tried were all on point! So creamy and delicious! Each flavor was robust and satisfying! I asked about a banana option listed that ended up not being available - but the server offered me a different option that ended up being my favorite! The Banana Pudding! It was laced with the thickest, most delicious and dreamy marshmallow cream, bananas, cookie crumb bits, so much goodness packed inside of one little cup! My only regret is that I hadn't saved more room after my dinner to allow me to try a waffle cone! They advertise fresh, homemade cones! Another awesome benefit, if you order at least 2 scoops you can order multiple flavors in your cone or dish! I always love the option to experience more variety!! :) We will most definitely be back to try more of this spot that is new to us, while visiting South Haven!!

The smell of fudge and other sweet things wafting through the air drew me into this shop, which…read moreI've been wanting to try. It's such a cute and inviting store, you'll love to browse, even if you don't buy anything, but I bet you can't leave without buying something! The chocolate black walnut fudge we bought was the creamiest I've ever had, and I've eaten fudge pretty much everywhere we've been on vacation. Many people were eating ice cream cones which looked delicious also, but I figured the fudge was enough sugar at the moment. Service was super friendly and fast and helpful. A definite must stop!

I've had Kilwins before and believe the ice cream is good, so I was excited to see it near our…read moreAirBnB. However, I don't know if this is always the case or I just noticed it here but... Holy rip off! $40+ for four ice cream cones? Go across the street for half price. They conveniently don't list their prices anywhere. We were full and ordered kids scoops across the entire family, yet what I received resembled a small basketball of ice cream. You're probably thinking, this guy.. complaining about "too much" ice cream.. was his lobster too buttery, his steak too tender? But let me explain. Sometimes you don't want a pint of ice cream delicately sitting on a cone. Sometimes you just want a little bit, and for that to be their smallest option, it just doesn't make sense. Especially for my already wired kids. The second was the aforementioned sticker shock. We went to the place across the street the next night and our normal sized, delicious cones were about $20, half the price. So yeah, it's not so much a bad review because of quality or anything, just a bit of a misleading and poor experience. Others in the store were sharing similar concerns, so I wonder if this place has pushed it as far as they can and need to scale back. Oh my ice cream was pretty tasty, but super rich and nowhere near anything I could finish. That's all I got, a bit let down by Kilwin's.

What a fun afternoon activity and SO COOL to see that this is quite literally where some of the…read moreblueberries we eat in grocery stores come from! We came for the u-pick experience and it was a blast, especially with kids aged 2,4,5, and 8. On top of that, the price was super reasonable at $7 for the small bucket, which you get to keep. Most interesting part of this experience was the fact they grow 4 different varieties of blueberries here, each with their own unique flavor profile! It was so fun to walk the rows of bushes picking and tasting the differences. The most unique were those growing in the rows at the back left of the sales shed. They had an incredible sweetness that made me say "wow that's what a real blueberry tastes like!" The staff offered a great explanation and we filled up the buckets and enjoyed blueberries everyday during our stay. We also checked out the store across the street and found it filled with lots of blueberry products. Salsas, bbq sauce, jams, jellies, cookies, pies, cakes, and of course, ice cream! They have several blueberry flavors made just for them by a local creamery, and the ice cream is great. This is definitely worth a stop!

We visited the shop and I bought some blueberry fudge (which sadly wasn't that great) and some…read moredried blueberries and was able to taste some Elliot blueberries which were delicious. They had a nice variety of blueberry products from mustards to jams and honeys, pancake mixes and more as well as children's books about blueberries and Fun Tshirts with the business logo. It's worth a stop if you want to get the blueberry experience.

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.

07/19/26 - Well we went blueberry picking @ DeGrandchamps Blueberry farm. No trip to South Haven…read moreis complete wo/a trip to Sherman's Ice Cream. We came here w/my wife, 2 brother in laws & 1 sister in law. After DeGrandchamps we had lunch and no one was hungry. I suggested Sherman's but they said they weren't hungry. I still wanted to go here & after we got here all of a sudden everyone wanted ice cream. I heard they changed owners but they still have the generous portion sizes. We got 2 butter pecan baby scoops & 3 pistachio scoops. As usual there was a huge crowd present but they cycled through pretty quickly & everyone was happy. Even though there was a brief closure & reopened under a new owner the quality & portion sizes are very good. They have excellent thick ice cream. For me Sherwin's is a must when I come back this way

Huge indoor space with loads of tables and booths, and outside there are a few tables. You can order both outside and inside, but it was the same people taking orders regardless, so you probably will wait in a queue. It does move fast. You can try their different flavors too. Got the strawberry cheesecake and it was nice and rich. Would definitely come back!

Driving through town we wanted something quick but tasty. Here, you can order from a surprisingly…read morelarge selection of really good food! Not to mention an extensive ice cream/freeze menu. I had a scoop of their homemade (not sure if it's the brand or if in fact it is homemade) coconut almond chip, which was delicious and gigantic. Husband had a chocolate malt. For food I had their "snack size" 2 piece chicken and fries. (You get your choice of white or dark meat) Chicken was delicious! Fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. My husband ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a side of onion rings. Seriously one of the best onion rings I've had in a while. Husband enjoyed their burger very much. Nice to have someplace to go where the food is fresh and quick. The ladies at the window were very sweet and friendly. Looking forward to having more when we blow back into town.

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!

This spot underwent a glow up and a rebrand since the last time we were here and I love it!…read morePreviously you would do your shopping in the big building on the property (where I assume they do a lot of the processing and kept all their equipment, it felt kind of like a "facility" or warehouse of sorts) and it was pretty barebones. And it was fine! Better than fine because the blueberries were so good! I had no complaints. But now they've leveled up. Now it's not just good blueberries but good ambiance as well! They've converted another smaller building next to it as a storefront and it's chock full of blueberry based goodies like jams, jellies, baked goods, dips, mustards, beverages, etc. Way more to choose from! They also sell ice cream and added a play structure to help entertain the kiddos that get a little bored of picking (smart). The day of our visit it was around 100 degrees and humid so I was not up for picking myself. Instead I arrived ready to buy a box of pre-picked fruit in bulk like I had in the past. I walked into the cute new storefront, scanned the shelves, and panicked. There were no boxed berries to be seen! Was this no longer a thing?? U-pick only?? Why God why!? No need to panic, the really lovely woman at the counter explained to me. They just ran out because nobody wanted to pick in the heat (fair) and they had another load of blewbs (just processed and boxed) enroute and arriving at any moment, she just wasn't sure when exactly. Our time in town was limited so we decided we'd come back instead of waiting. She assured me there would be plenty available. And she was right! A couple of hours later we came back to find the coolers absolutely stocked full of 5lb boxes. I was fielding requests from the family back home to bring them some so in the end I bought 20 pounds worth. I also added a blueberry lemon coffee cake for good measure. Great visit! Wonderful changes! Lovely personnelle! And most importantly, the blueberries are still amazing. Next time I just hope it's cooler so I can get an ice cream cone that wasn't going to liquify the moment I stepped outside.
