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.

I must highlight a product in Palazzolo's freezers I've never seen before: LORENZO'S FROZEN…read morePUDDING. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to know more, and--more importantly--try it. This is a black-owned Chicago-based biz, and Palazzolo's manufactures their product. There are three flavors of this southern-style frozen pudding: banana, strawberry, and pineapple. Naturally, I had to try banana. One bite in, and I was hooked. It's super creamy and flavorful. Dare I say that I enjoy Lorenzo's over Palazzolo's?! I'm giving 5 stars for Lorenzo's Frozen Pudding and 4 stars for Palazzolo's frozen confections. I'd pick the frozen pudding over gelato any day!

They always have great service.

Honestly, the confections there are no better than in Frankenmuth, I don't mind paying for quality, but they literally bend you over taking full advantage of you.................NEVER will enter one of their stores again!

The server was kind enough to let me know that I can sit with my puppies outside. I got some cold water in a plastic bowl which was an added bonus as it was a very hot day. My order took less than 10 mins and 2 things that I will point out. Eggs in a compostable plate which really made the experience so "to go" like and I was disappointed since I heard so many good reviews and it's definitely about the experience. Second, the omelet had no salt and pepper in it, I get American cuisine but I need basic salt and pepper to understand flavors. It was very bland. That to say I added my spices so all in all I ate well and portions were great. Thanks for letting my pups sit in the shade!

As I was walking the first thing that caught my eye were the huge milkshake pictures on the outside. Seriously they looked huge and amazing. I ordered the strawberry lemonade slushee because it sounds so refreshing. I also ordered the regular sized milkshake of course, I ordered the cookie dance. I was a little sad to see that my milkshake didn't come with all the fix ins like the pictures on the outside. It just looked like a normal milkshake with whip cream. However it did taste amazing and definitely hit the spot. Maybe next time my milkshake will come with everything on top, but I still enjoyed myself here. They have a cute little outdoor seating area too!

I'd come across them while doing my HW for the trip, but without really knowing the area, I'd thought that staying in South Haven meant I wouldn't get the chance to visit, but after stopping in to The Flying Saucer in South Haven and picking up their beans there for the house, I learned everything is kinda close on this part of the coast! This is their main location, right in the heart of Saugatuck. It's cozy and colorful, warm and inviting, and filled with some incredibly sweet people. Oh yeah. They have A LOT of great coffee too! Their specialty and seasonal drinks all sounded delicious, but I'm a purist in pursuit of the best cup of black coffee, here for the single origins and blends that are sourced and roasted by this skilled team. Walking in I was faced by a massive wall filled with beautiful bags of beans from all over the world, each labeled with notes on origin, processing and flavor profile. I set my sights on a pour over and when the cashier said I could choose anything from the wall, I was gobsmacked (that's a funny word). The range was so impressive, with great representation from all over the world, processed in all different ways, making the choice quite difficult. It's a good thing I used my time in line to look at all of the options, and I settled on a white honey processed coffee called Villa Sarchi, which was delightful. If I have one quibble it's that they didn't have an actual pour over menu and this is simply because I enjoy asking the baristas about the coffees. This spot is super hot, with a line out the door at all times, so despite the barista at the counter being incredibly accommodating, I couldn't in good conscience hold up the patrons behind me with too many questions or returns to the wall. I also tried their espresso lime tonic for a beverage to stroll with and enjoyed the slight sweet and tart drink very much on a hot day. Uncommon also has a great menu of food offerings and we had a bagel breakfast sandwich and one of their MASSIVE savory scones. I wish I'd asked or been asked about warming the scone because it definitely needed it, but holy hell this thing was packed with cheesy goodness and the perfect foil to my naturally sweet coffee. Normally I go home with one bag of coffee as a souvenir, but I couldn't help but buy two, which were in addition to the beans I also bought in South Haven! In total I think I sampled about 5 different Uncommon roasts and loved them all! I loved this place so much I looked to buy merch, but sadly they had run out of the sizes I needed. There's always next time. Or maybe they'll ship...

Coffee wise: fair. I ordered a few specialty summer cold brews for my wife and I and they were tiny, and my wife's was well-made with cold foam and cinnamon, but mine barely had a dollop (I gave her the good one, aren't I a nice husband?) I got a black coffee on my second visit and it wasn't very good. Service: friendly but slow. I was SO glad to have pitcher on pitcher of cold brew back at the AirBNB so I didn't have to wait. The times I came, this place was popping and it (expectedly) took some time. Hours: I was out for an early morning walk in the six o'clock am hour and several other middle-aged to elderly people were circling like vultures waiting for their caffeine fix. I feel like in peak season bumping hours to 6 or even 6:30 might do numbers for them. Food: I ordered a buttered bagel for my kids the first time in and it took a long, long time. I think they forgot about it. It appeared to be a grocery store style bagel and was ok. I'm telling you, this place looks beautiful and it's got great energy. It just so happened the business and the coffee on just a few visits didn't quite land. I would definitely encourage folks to try it out, it just missed the mark more than I was hoping for.
