While in Michigan City, we ended up coming to the Lighthouse Outlet after the zoo. We wanted…read moresomething sweet and happened upon Xurro which sells churros and funnel cake snacks. We got a churro sundae and a funnel cake sundae. The churros were warm and crunchy, while the funnel cake was soft and warm. The ice cream was good too but the whipped cream was just basic from a can stuff. They make the funnel cakes and churros as they are ordered so they end up as fresh as you can get. I would recommend Xurro for churros or funnel cakes and would definitely recommend the sundaes. They are so yummy and go great with ice cream. They were a great snack after the zoo and before we started looking around the outlet mall. I will admit though, the wait was longer than I was expecting and I had wished I'd gotten a chance to talk to the employee more than just giving my order, but I'd still come back nonetheless.

And it was worth it! We got a peach pie and a pecan pie - soft, smooth and delicious. This little place is literally in the middle of nowhere, but it's a hidden gem worth visiting for anyone who loves a good, homemade pie. The next time I drive through Michigan City, this will be the first place I visit. If you're looking for a cute little local business that serves up fantastic pies, you gotta stop by A Slice of Heaven!

Hubby and I picked out a lot to take home since we live 45 minutes away. We also talked to Chef Joyner about cocoa beans and learned something new today about the process of making chocolate! Cool!

The mango sherbet they use in those is the best around with real fruit and the combo is a sweet and spicy flavor that's indescribable but delicious!

You know, as much as I have been to Oink's in my lifetime, I cannot believe that I forgot to leave…read morea review for them YEARS ago! First let me start by saying that Oink's and I go way back. I believe that the first time I went there was in 1988 when I was 16 (my two older cousins were raised in Union Pier), and since I visit SW MI at least twice a year, I never leave without going to Oink's before coming home. As I always took my kids to Warren Dunes instead of Chicago beaches, my kids always got to enjoy Oink's before coming back home also! So this year was no different and my wife and I got to sit down and enjoy ice cream before coming back home. I have always loved the different ice cream flavors (especially strawberry cheesecake), and as I always do, I bought a few pig keychains and other things from the gift shop. I also have always loved the old-school vibe! So every time I am up that way, I'll be there!! One last thing: I got to meet Coach Vink back in the day because my older two cousins (The McSmith brothers, who both passed away unexpectedly in 2024 and 2025), played for him at New Buffalo High School. Coach was a good dude, and I was sorry to hear of his passing. So, see you next time I'm up there!

While there's all kinds of dandy baked goods you can take home, Arturo's is a great stop for an excellent breakfast that is also very reasonably priced. Don't expect haute cuisine here - it's quaint and small, down home and rustic with friendly, welcoming service. All perfect in its own way. My wife and her friend both had breakfast taco's that were filled with a bountiful array of vegetables, eggs and cheese, accompanied by a tangy green salsa. My buddy and I both had a breakfast special - house-made hash browns (mine were as ordered perfect extra-crispy) topped with onion, house made bacon, cheese and eggs. Everything was perfect, but perhaps the highlight of our brunch was the waffle that we shared - absolute perfection! Crispy on the outside, buttery and soft on the inside. It was perhaps the best waffle that I've had in 20 years and when I go back to visit our friends in Michigan City, I'll be back to Arturo's for that waffle!
