The owner is always helpful and honest about the different kinds of trees, telling us about what ones hold their needles better, what's going to smell the best, etc. We originally started going there because my husband lived right there on 44th street, but we've lived in Jenison now for about 5 years and still drive over because we love the experience so much. Once you pick out your tree, they wrap it up for you and help you get it on top of the car. Great service from start to finish!

This is my go-to ice cream spot in Grand Rapids. I've heard good things about the food, but have…read morenever tried anything other than the ice cream. I am a simple lady and love a good twist cone with sprinkles and their soft serve is just superb. I have been to most of the ice cream joints in/around town and I have often run into the issue of the soft serve being TOO soft and melting quickly. I don't know what they are doing, but their soft serve is always so creamy and firm. It's a hit every time and we will literally drive past other spots to go here when we want ice cream. There is quite a bit of seating if you choose to stay there, way more than others in the area. The staff are always polite and helpful. I've never had a miss here!

If you are not already familiar with Broaster chicken (a proprietary cooking technique using a specific machine that gets consistently amazing results), then it is high time you learn! Let the super friendly staff come assist you! While only open seasonally starting in the spring and ending in the late fall, this little building serves up a variety of delicious and affordable ice cream options in addition to their amazing chicken and potato wedges. See the menu I snapped a photo of for more details on pricing. I've tried a lot of chicken in town and love almost all of it - but the place that I keep coming back to year after year is Frosty Boy of Cascade. Come give it a try and see if it also becomes a regular tradition for you and your family.

While I always go for a twist with sprinkles they have several flavors of sundae, milkshake and flurry flavors. The staff is friendly and kind, but what else would you expect when getting ice cream! There are a couple of benches and tables around the side to sit and eat, but not a ton so on busy days you might want to walk around the plaza and find a different spot to sit. The line goes quickly and there is plenty of parking. A summer favorite.

Sandy's is my favorite donut shop in Grand Rapids. I've never dined in (much respect to the group…read moreof old-timers always holding court over coffee that I see every time I'm in there), but I've picked up dozens and dozens of donuts over the years. Service is routinely exemplary and I'm in and out fast no matter how long the line is. They always have an enticing variety of pastries to choose from, from the traditional cake ring donuts, to fritters, to eclairs/longjohns, to seasonal varieties like pączki or king/queen cakes. They also have other treats like cookies, scones, pies, cakes, and breads (and they offer sandwiches made on their house-made breads). My favorite is the "cannonball" (a deep-fried round donut with custard and chocolate frosting) but I wouldn't say no to anything on the shelves. Like all bakeries - make sure you get there early for the best selection because they move quick (which is perhaps the best compliment you can pay a bakery).

I love the outdoor patio section would love to come back to try some of the beverages and a different crepe out there with some friends or my husband! The crepes are delicious and presented beautifully, even for to go orders, but for the price I would expect more fruit to come with it. What surprises me the most is that they serve alcohol here which I'm excited to try. Crependip is located right next to Super Green Market so you can treat yourself to something sweet after doing some grocery shopping! Definitely would come back to try more items on the menu.

They also have a cooler filled with bottled drinks and other treats. We went with the breakfast nacho special and the birddog sandwich with potatoes. They first brought us a burrito but she realized that's not what we ordered, so she apologized and took it back, so we had to wait for the nachos for a little bit. The portions were larger than I expected for a small corner cafe/coffee shop and the food was pretty good. The prices were pretty high but that's the norm these days. We ultimately had nachos, a sandwich/potatoes, yogurt parfait, orange juice, and a coffee and it was over $50. We would definitely come back.

The coney dogs were also great, no surprise there. The onion rings blew me away- the seasoning was delicious and they were so fresh and crispy. It was like if you turned funions into real onion rings I also got a chocolate milk shake to finish it all off and loved it. It was BUSY in there right when they opened on a Saturday- and seating is pretty limited. It might be a good idea to have a backup spot to eat if you're not planning on taking your food home. It was super fun inside though- loved the 90s decor!

As an…read moreeast side transplant, I miss national coney every day but One Stop Coney can cure my craving! It's fairly affordable and the service is quick and friendly. You can order ahead of time for pickup online or just order in the store and wait for 10 mins or less. They have a couple tables to sit at inside and one outside if you want to eat there. Their Chicago dog is pretty good and the chili on their Detroit dog and fries was great. I would get food from here more if it wasn't downtown. Just kinda hard with parking sometimes.
