We…read morehave recently written about the Candy Manufactory for work too so I was curious to actually see it! I've never actually had any of Zingerman's candy bars so I bought two full size bars, plus a small version of the Cashew Cow. I think both the Zzang and Peanut Butter Crush were equally good. The store also has non-Zingerman's brand candies, such as Venchi, which is also a high-end brand. The shop doubles as a coffee shop, as well, and I think may have also had some small food items, but don't quote me on that. Overall, I would return the next time I'm in town.

I am a big Swiss fan so I asked if they had any - I ended up buying a small piece of one, which ended up being tasty, and also an aged cheddar they had, called Prairie Farms - they had a sample of it and it was DELICIOUS, which swayed me to try it. They also sell tiny little charcuterie boxes here and even big things of gelato. Everything looked really good. Staff is also very friendly - the girl behind the counter is a recent UM grad so we talked about that, I'm a 2009 alum. $6-7 for a small block of cheese is pretty standard for gourmet cheeses too, so I didn't think it was super pricey (although they did have some for $15+). I definitely want to stop by here again the next time I'm in A2.

After a disappointing lunch in Ypsi, we turned to Yelp for something sweet…read more How 'bout Gelato? Head to Zingerman's Creamery! Quickly. This is an excellent stop for all things dairy. Mostly, cheese for me. Today I picked up: six ounces of a very creamy Goat cream cheese, a smoked salmon cream cheese and a Goat feta. Since we had a cooler, I also bought a half pound of Detroit Street Brick cheese. It begins as a dense, crumbly cheese with a twist of lemon and ages into more of a savory, spicy flavour. The star of the show is the gelato. I say the best is the Coffee flavour. Closely followed by the Peanut Butter chocolate and the Dark chocolate. Today we split a Cherry Cream Cheese Gelato. It really hit the spot. The prices are a bit steep. You're paying for quality, not quantity. Always an education talking cheese with these folks! 08/24

Got a sweet tooth check the cooler for large ice cream sandwiches. There are two levels and something for everyone. The Brix soda is from Grand Rapids and the pomegranate Lemonade was very good.

And yet, I've still needed a couple of things over the last few months and it's been quite an easy process. I've done both curbside pick up and stepped in super quick to shop and both have been solid and safe experiences. Curbside is easy thanks to their website and the in store experience was quick and painless. The aisles have been widened, and there's plenty of open space to keep your distance and shop. Like many other stores, the floors are marked on the floor, spaced by 6 feet to keep shoppers apart and the check out counters have plexiglass in front of the cash registers to create a barrier between shopper and cashier. Just because we're in a weird, distant time, doesn't mean we can't pick up a few things to celebrate special occasions. I know our silly noisemakers, hats and masks made our quiet NYE celebration at home much more fun.

The woman working today was very helpful. Although I declined, she was willing to pack their dog-friendly white chocolate bone in bubble wrap to take on the flight home. They had run out of their prepackaged dark chocolate truffles, so she suggested that I pick and choose from the display as it was the same price. I definitely plan to come back if I happen to stay near the mall in the future.

The service is friendly, if not a little too watchful of your perusal however the food is both bold and mute. What I mean by that is for each of the flavors you either have too strong of a flavor or too light of a flavor. For instance let's take a look at two classic fudge flavors, peanut butter and chocolate, the chocolate is far too strong as if there is too much cocoa powder and the peanut butter it too light tasting mostly of powdered sugar instead of peanut butter. Not to say it isn't inedible ( that would be a 1 star review) but with how strong the flavors are it isn't preferable. This applies to all the flavors and other items as well. The other items such at the truffles are hard, not due to anything like nuts but because the chocolate isn't made to be soft yet stable. Getting something like Lindt truffles from a grocery store far beat out the truffles here unfortunately. This trend is continued with the other items available as well, nothing hits the spot and is either too strong or too weak in flavor and texture.

The people working here were extremely friendly and chipper. The only issue I have is that their prices are higher than most places that sell the same products, so I would not come here for items like Buldak noodles unless you really cannot find them elsewhere. I would like to come back with the kids.
