It was not prepared as chopped and mixed together like I am used to, but was equally good (I am uncertain what a true Chicago variety is supposed to be). The service was pretty slow although I was the only one there: That is quite forgivable as my selection was put together well. The fog was freshly cooked and the bun nicely toasted. There were a few tables inside and outside. I particularly enjoyed the complimentary caramel, which was so good that I almost went back in and bought more (but resisted). The mural on the wall inside is quite unique and worth admiring.

Spent $14 for a hotdog and Gatorade, and waiting for 22mins before walking out with no hotdog. Absolutely a joke. Stick to the overpriced chocolate.

This is a really cool place with great service, and a really good story. Highly recommend visiting.read more

I grew up in Kalamazoo until I moved away at 25 years old, and though I knew of this store, I don't…read moreremember ever going into it before I moved. I very well may have as a child but wouldn't remember. Once I moved, going home came a very big deal to me and embraced Michigan, and more importantly, Kalamazoo became so much of a bigger deal to me. Each time I have been home since 2007, I have stopped into The Spirit of Kalamazoo to check out what new items they may have that I feel I "need." I have gotten things over the years that now I wished I got two of, specially the "Just Another Animal in the Zoo" cup that I bought in pink, but broke and I cannot find anywhere online to replace. The store has lots of odds and end art pieces from local artist, some of which I pick up as I go for when I can make an amazing room filled with things from home and sports, especially since I am a die hard Michigan sports fan. The staff are always friendly and helpful but also let you shop without hovering over you. I am very glad that I can help this local business each time I am home, as it has become part of my journey now.

There is a single person at the gelato counter but she made me feel like she had all day to help me. Friendly, patient, and did a great job explaining my options. I tried the Tiramisu, Chocolate Hazelnut, and Pistachio flavored in a large bowl. Each tasted amazing but the chocolate was my favorite. Smooth texture with add ins for crunch. They also have $2.50 mini macrons with gelato inside .. such a great 2-bite treat (it was gone before I got my camera out). Stop by and treat yourself!

I got Vanilla Custard with hot caramel and almonds while my wife got vanilla custard with peaches. To me, it seemed more like regular Vanilla Ice Cream than Vanilla Custard to me.

Possibly the coolest mobile business in town (and we've got oodles of awesome food trucks so that's…read morereally saying something), this business is based on the back of a tricycle and features delicious ice creams and ice cream sandwiches. Even better, they partner with other small local businesses. This week, their Melody's S'peach'less ice cream features Michigan peaches from J&S Farms, and their ice cream sandwiches co-star cookies from Sarkozy's. This is often one of the first food trucks to sell out at events like the Night Market (third Thursday of every summer month at Bank Street) and the Kalamazoo Farmer's Market (every Saturday morning at Bank Street), so hit them up first for the delightful yums. They also cater, which would be a super fun way to support local at an event. La!
