Unfortunately, the customer service wasn't. There were three employees working--one younger woman and two older women. One of the older employees looked annoyed that she even had to help me. I had a couple of questions and made a quick call to my grandmother to confirm which flavor she wanted. When I returned to the counter, everyone ignored me for a few minutes until the younger employee finally came over to help. It made for a strange and unwelcoming experience. Overall, I'd return because the cakes are high quality and taste great, but I hope the customer service improves.

I've only tried their donuts, but I plan to taste their cakes soon. Allow two days for cake orders, but more for special orders. I loved the ambience -- looks so relaxing.

When we came in the worker told us that it was bogo because of what time it was. That was a nice piece of information and we got some donuts too. She was friendly and helpful. The price was great for what we got. By coming in later we had less to choose from but that was fine by us as they still had all of the classic flavors left. Recommended!

I was looking for places to check out on my recent Holland adventure and this place intrigued me…read more.. because it's a bakery/cafe that has chicken tenders....!! I LOVE chicken tenders. I drove up and loved the spacious parking lot. Walking in, the bakery was well lit and clean, and a bit overwhelming. They had so many kinds of baked goods, including some Dutch specialties like banket. (I honestly have no idea what that is but I know it's a Dutch pastry.) You can order 2, 3, 5, or 12 tenders at a time, and you can get them as a combo (with fries and a drink) or just by themselves. I opted for two tenders, one plain and one with original dry rub which is kind of like a ranch flavor. I also ordered a Diet Coke. The food didn't take too long to come out, and the tenders were hefty and super crispy. I liked the dry rub, but I think I'd just go with plain next time because they have the most delicious honey mustard. The Diet Coke was also super crispy and this was such a nice snack. They also have a menu of breakfast options like egg sandwiches, bagels, avocado toast, etc. The lunch menu is rounded out with salads, sandwiches, and mac and cheese. If I lived nearby I think I'd be a regular here!

I highly recommend this bakery!

In the Dutch town of Holland, Michigan, there is a little café where the color blue feels less like…read morea shade and more like a way of life. Bowerman's on 8th is a love letter to the humble blueberry, written in the language of warm lattes, fresh pastries, and shelves overflowing with jars that seem to bottle summer itself. As someone with a dairy allergy, coffee shops can sometimes feel like places built for everyone else. But here there was kindness in the details--different milk options, thoughtful choices, and the feeling that everyone should be able to enjoy a good cup of coffee. Traveling from out of state, this was one of the places I circled on my map, hoping reality would match the stories. Somehow, it was even better. The blueberry latte was the kind of drink that slows time. Bright and refreshing, sweet without trying too hard, tasting like a morning walk through a Michigan orchard after the rain. Around me were cases filled with treats and shelves stacked with jams, syrups, and every blueberry creation imaginable, each one carrying a little piece of the region's soul. There is something beautiful about a place that chooses one simple thing and perfects it. Bowerman's does not merely sell coffee--it celebrates harvests, local traditions, and the quiet joy of gathering around a table. You leave with a warm cup in your hands, a bag of blueberry treasures under your arm and a feeling of satisfaction. Some places are worth the drive. Some are worth the hype. Bowerman's on 8th is both.

We took so many pictures because we thought it was so cute. She broke apart the pipe for the fisherman figure and found a black haired man. It's all in the details!

We then ordered 6 large sheet cakes to be cut and served to our 300 guests. Our caterer pointed out the cake was not deliverd yet, at 30 minutes before ceremony. We had to call to get the cake delivered and it was all wrong....it was a styrofoam cake with buttercream frosting that was melting off in the July heat at our outside garden wedding and reception. We were also shorted one entire sheet cake. We met with Marcia 3 times to get what we wanted and gave her pictures. Luckily, we also had Ben and Jerry's Ice cream serving at the reception and some guests only had ice cream and no cake because we were shorted one entire sheet cake. We specifially ordered fondant on the styrofoam display cake so it would not melt, my daughter burst into tears with she saw her buttercream icing melting and exposing the forms underneath. Our caterer and photographer tried to fix the appearance for pictures. We had to pay the entire $600 up front and when I tried to contact Marcia after the wedding, she would never take any of my numerous calls. No response from letter I wrote. I should have sued her!

But on the other hand if you need a handful of ingredients for a recipe or have to pick something up that you forgot earlier then this store fills in the blanks. The one thing that they do very very well is their deli. They have a wide assortment of things like pasta salads and chicken wings etc. It's a great way to get something to round out a family dinner or get something to add to your lunch. We come here around 4-5 times a month for small things. And given the proximity and the past salad it'll likely continue to be a place we stop by.
