Jackie's Custard is my husband's favorite place for getting birthday cake and this year's cake was…read moreno exception!! We have been ordering his cake from this business since it was still Jack's Custard and Jackie has continued their tradition of great customer service and personalized deserts! We ordered a Cherry Custard cake with cherries and chopped chocolate on top and it was exactly what he was looking for!! We brought the cake with us next door to Bourbon's and the staff thought it was a beautiful cake, as well! We ended up with an extra slice that we shared with our server Tyler and he was also impressed! Thank you for going so far to make my husband's birthday a memorable celebration!!

This place has gone down hill since the new owners took over. When it was Jacks Custard it was such…read morea staple downtown and now it's just a disappointment. Inside of the shop was dirty. Store owner was rude and made our family super uncomfortable during our visit. The custard isn't even good. There is nothing special about it and after our recent visit we absolutely will not be back.

By and large I find Marv's pastries and breads to be mediocre, but the one major exception is their…read moregingerbread cookies which are absolutely phenomenal. Their pastries are reasonably priced and they always have deals of the day although the discounts are negligible - eg something normally $4.89 might be on sale for $4.29 or so. I haven't found the service to be particularly friendly either which seems unusual for a longstanding mom-and-pop with loyal customers who have been coming for decades (I'm the third Marv's generation in my family). I do think it's sweet how they offer free coffee with any bakery purchase. It's by no means gourmet but it's a nice touch. They also sell some miscellany like cheeses, pickled goods, meats, etc. About half the physical space is all baked goods and the second half is the rest. I can't imagine anyone doing significant shopping here but if you needed an item conveniently you can get it here.

Local butcher and bakery that is worth the stop. Right off Grand River and a parking lot right in…read morefront with plenty of spaces. They take made to order cakes, and the chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. There are bake goods, fresh bread, seasoning, frozen and fresh meat for sale. The meat counter has a number system so when you show up grab a number. The bakery is stand in line to purchase. Teo different areas under one roof. They take cash and card. They offer recipe ideas on cards and posted around the area to snap a picture. All the employees are helpful and patient will I make your selection. Love the nostalgic pictures and memorabilia decorating the area.

When one is looking for a good breakfast at a good price look no further then Sunrise!…read more The staff are always very friendly and the breakfast is consistently delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to see they are now offering more upscale specials, but it's the two egg breakfast special that keeps me coming back. The place is light and open, and the conversation that happens at tables can only be described as unique to Howell with the amount of "regulars" that frequent Sunrise. I suspect most towns have a "down home" restaurant like Sunrise and it's always been a good dining experience.

Breakfast here is downright good stuff! Came in for breakfast around 1030 on Sunday and had to…read morewait in line a short period of time (but not long). Was promptly seated when a table came up - staff server was great. I did a standard farmer's omelet breakfast with white toast and hashbrowns w/ grilled onions on them. Extremely good food and a lot to accomplish if you wish to eat it all. This is one of the better breakfast spots in Howell, so if you get a chance, give them a try or simply return.

I am here on a rainy Friday and it is nice to be in a dry spot with indoor plumbing. Interesting antiques including a wheel chair in a lofty dining area. I am sad that things cost so much.

Although the ice cream here can be pricey and the store is busy, we loved the ice cream and the customization!

It was a bit of a wait but hey we are retired and on vacation. We had our pup with us so we were able to sit outside which was nice too. Now that we are back home my mouth is watering for a slice of cherry pie. Parking is a lil snug getting in and out but there is street parking and a parking lot across the street.
