Insanely cute chocolate shop down in Nickels Arcade [which is a tiny alley with an assortment of…read moreshops like a vintage store and clothing store]. They have an array of flavors of bon bons (chocolates with a filling inside) lined up behind the glass case including fudge brownie, peanut butter and jam, and much more unique combinations that I paid no attention to because i was enamored with the rest of the shop. They had all sorts of knick knacks, stickers (some were for free!), mini greeting cards, shirts, tote bags, cool shaped chocolates on the shelves. Each bon bon is $3.50 and it gets individually packaged in a tiny box. If you're feeling extra, you can buy a cute cardboard carrier case for your chocolate treasures ($2). Otherwise you can still get it packaged in a cute box for free (pictured). As for the actual bon bons: - The fudge brownie one had a deep chocolate flavor with only about 35% sweetness which was quite dismaying. - The PB&J one was sweeter which I liked and the jam added a bit of tartness. Comparatively, this bon bon had more complexity than the dark bitterness of the fudge brownie.

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.

Sustainably sourced from Ecuador, the cacao beans are fermented and ground locally in Dexter, then processed into the cocoa that is used to make the delicious brownies.

It was sized just right for me so that I could finish it and the potatoes were perfectly sliced with a little bit of crunch. My husband ordered the poached eggs with pesto and veggies and said it was delicious. It's a casual, local place as more customers came in, they were regulars!

I was looking at the menu outside, and a server came up to me and asked if I wanted a table, so I said yes. It was a beautiful day, so I decided to eat outside, but had I gone inside first, I might have stayed there, as I liked the old fashioned, homey look. It certainly might have been a house in a former life. I ordered the country omelette. It had sausage and cheese inside and country gravy on top. it came with nicely browned potatoes and a piece of homemade toast. I enjoyed my meal very much. However, it seemed very overpriced; the omelette was $14.50 and the portion seemed very small, especially since it came with only one piece of toast. While I know that other restaurants charge around the same price, what I'm served is almost always enough to have a second meal.

By the time I got home (about 20 minutes later), the food was still warm and so delicious. The fries were golden brown, crispy, and honestly the best I've had in a while. For a "small" order, you get a ton--easily more than a large fry at McDonald's, and way better. The ranch deserves its own shoutout--it's the best ranch I've ever had! I would literally buy a bottle if they sold it. The breadsticks were warm, soft, and so tasty--and the portion was so generous! And the chicken gyro? Absolutely delicious. They load it up with plenty of chicken, and the cucumber sauce ties it all together perfectly. On top of all that, the workers here are always so kind. The food, portions, and service are all incredible--I'd recommend this place to anyone!
