To die for Cupcakes!! Usually I do not like cupcakes cause…read morethey tend to be dry and the topping is usually just very sweet but tasteless. I discovered this little gemstone when looking for a parking and decided to explore. What a great decision! Welcomed and greeted with a smile I got a little intro about the shop, the woman behind these amazing sweet little things and the ingredients used (natural flavors, freshly made daily, etc.). I was excited and took different cupcakes and a mini cheesecake home. And Boy, were they good. Flavorful, great taste, moist cake, not too sweet, fluffy consistency and a filling like from heaven!! I'm impressed with the attention to detail, beautifully decorated and no frosting or cake tasted the same, the all have different ones. So glad I found this place. We will be back for more. Thank you for having such an incredible selection and such wonderful sweet things.

Hillman is a small town off M32 about 20 minutes west of Alpena. Mostly known for the Thunder Bay…read moregolf course, there are a number of clean and natural lakes in the area. The Black Squirrel recently opened up in the sleepy, forgotten town and it's like a breath of fresh air was pumped in to liven the tired town up. The owners are local so you know they care about their customers. It's evident the moment you walk in when you are greeted by a genuine smile and accommodating attitude. I was excited to try this place and the building itself welcomes you and kicks your experience off on the right foot. You first notice the amazingly clean and airy atmosphere of the bakery, then greeted by kind faces but when you peek back into that pristine kitchen and see the owner baking amazing items to set out, you know you are at the right place. They serve coffee - both drip and espresso specialty drinks - breads, desserts, and breakfast items (both sweet and savory). I got a vanilla mocha, a bacon and ham egg bite (it's the size of a muffin though), and a cinnamon roll. We drove back to the house and warmed up the food. The egg bite was very good. Simple but the perfect savory item to start with. The cinnamon roll was excellent - soft and fresh with cream cheese frosting that really hits home! Note that they are only open from 8a-12p (Tue-Sun) and often run out of things. They also have kitchen gifts and bread accoutrements that I'd like to try in the future as they have a special daily bread menu. Since we got there fairly early, they were setting new items out as they were prepared (which made it hard to choose, but in a good way). We will definitely return to try more of their amazing food!

With an absolute stunning and beautifully decorated interior and exterior patio, this place is somewhere I will be stopping by every time I come into town, regardless of weather! This time around I got a selection of their lemon gelato and Michigan blueberry flavors and they were scrumptious! Others that my friends had tried that I snuck a little taste of from them that I was very impressed with were the stracciatella (chocolate/hazelnut taste) and the zabaglione (wine taste, but very light and more sweet than wine) flavors! And with their unique selection of gelato flavors that rotate as well through the seasons, there will always be something new for me to get here as well, which I love! YUM!
