It was fun finding it given it's down the little lane of maiden murals - imagine that on Maiden Lane! Very charming. I wasn't sure if they were open although their lights were on and open sign showing, but the door really stuck, but a good tug and we were in. The gal behind the counter said sometimes it sticks so bad, she let's people in through the connecting neighboring business. A relatively small menu, maybe a dozen flavors of ice cream, but unique things like a maple shake with bacon and caramel. I tried the Blue Buried Treasure on a just make waffle cone. The ice cream was creamy with a hint of blueberry and white chocolate cups. Very tasty, but the homemade waffle cone made it great. All that for only $4 including tax. Very glad we found it. Conversational gal was also sweet and had a nice chat.

Monroe Street that it's located off of is under heavy construction currently so it may be a bit treacherous navigating the sidewalk outside, but the pastry shop remains open and continued to enjoy heavy foot traffic during the hour I was inside. The staff members are friendly and recommended the baklava as their most popular pastry, so I ordered one dipped with chocolate and pistachio, along with an iced latte. They had about five small tables along the wall for you to sit and eat at, but the benches are wooden and not the most comfortable for use as a study spot. My coffee was nothing to write home about, but the baklava was flaky and very sweet, definitely one of the best I've tried. They had a huge variety of other pastries too, and if they all taste as good as they look, would be worth checking out too.

I went with my friend here for a birthday dessert celebration. He loves carrot cake and red velvet…read morecake so we grabbed a slice of both. The carrot cake looked delightful but the slice of red velvet looked a little dull. When it was time to indulge we started with the red velvet slice and discovered it was a waste of calories if you're a red velvet fan - the cake was dry and the cream cheese icing was anticlimactic. On the other hand the carrot cake was amazing - super moist and got a 2 thumbs up. In addition I will say the staff was very friendly and patient especially with our loads of questions. I will go back but the red velvet will not be purchased again. Also I love the overall look and feel of this bakery but do wish it had more seating.

Love that they have a vegan ice cream place. I can't get enough of it, actually…read more I knew we had to come here during our trip, I feel compelled to try vegan spots when I am visiting a new place. I was even more thrilled that they had superman ice cream, which I learned was a local specialty ice cream flavor during my Detroit research. Sub 20 degree temperatures were not going to stop me. The place is SO CUTE and they gave both of us a free cookie "for trekking here in the cold". The ice cream was SO GOOD. It didn't have quite the same punch of flavors that the regular version I had elsewhere but it was enjoyable nonetheless. GF ordered the cookie dough which was even better. Such a great spot

We made a trip out to check it out. There was a lineup outside, but thats expected (due to the covid). Their website isn't up and running yet. We had to go the Facebook to look at their menu. They are pricey but it is worth it. I could not eat my entire cone. I ordered the cinnamon bun cone. The cone is literally a cinnamon bun. My fiancé ordered a chocolate dip and said it was good. I forgot to take a picture, but my friend who was in line behind me took a great picture. Memories. I forgot

It isn't on the main strip or…read moreanything and the building is small but there was a quite a line when we were there Saturday night so figured that must be a good sign. They have unique flavors made from scratch in small batches and I think their menu rotates a bit. They have multiple non dairy options too. They were making fresh waffle cones when we were there and the whole place smelled delicious! The two girls working were friendly and let everyone sample some flavors. I ended up choosing a split scoop (slight upcharge) of 3 peanut and malt cherry chocolate and both were incredible! So creamy and delicious. The 3 peanut was peanut butter ice cream, peanut butter sauce, and peanut brittle...so so good. My friend got the earl grey flavor and that was unique and refreshing! It's a bit pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. So good. Thank you, Milk & Froth!

Moodith: A Calder Bros. Love Letter A confession from a…read moredairy addict with no plans for recovery When I was little, I lived with my grandparents in a house that still had a milk chute by the side door. Some of my earliest memories are of Gram accidentally locking us out. She'd give me a leg up, and I'd clamber through that tiny door like some pint-sized action hero. Without fail, I'd crash into the brass umbrella stand and send it tumbling down the basement stairs, which sounded like a car crash. But after landing in a heap, I'd pop up, fling the door open, and beam like Fievel finally finding his family and fitting into his giant hat. Now, Calder's might not be sliding bottles through chutes anymore, but they will still deliver to your doorstep: milk, eggs, butter, the whole wholesome package. This is a lifesaver for my 96-year-old Gram, who doesn't exactly "pop into Meijer" the way she used to. Downriver might not be a postcard neighborhood, but Calder's honestly dignifies it just by existing. But let's get real: I'm here to talk about the eggnog. This is not your run-of-the-mill jug. It's eggnog with the viscosity of wet cement and the caloric density of my future regrets. It's one of the main reasons I'll never hit my "target weight," unless that target is simply "rotund." Here's the thing...I have a dairy problem. When I was a teen, I once complained to my doctor about my loud stomach. She suggested I give up dairy. I laughed directly in her face. Given that I'm usually pathologically polite, that was basically the emotional equivalent of slapping her. If my family ever staged an intervention and gave me an ultimatum, dairy would win, and it would be the loss of a pretty good family. My addictions, in rough order, look like this: 1. Dairy. 2. Buying stuff I don't need (but swear I'll use). 3. Caffeine. 4. A practiced devotion to the unattainable (sigh/fml). 5. Hoarding premium gel pens like they're rare Pokémon. So yeah, Calder's doesn't just have a customer for life. They may very well end up as the surprise beneficiary of my estate someday. Picture it: a modest inheritance left not to wayward relatives, but to the cows themselves...my final act of dairy philanthropy.
