The staff were super friendly, and there's actually a large selection of items inside including made to order ice cream sandwiches. They have a large candy counter as well as tons of pre-packaged items that make perfect gifts. I chose some caramel corn (excellent) as well as a prepackaged box of assorted creams (also delicious). The ambiance is that of an old fashioned candy store, and it's full of wonderful smells! Definitely visit if you're in the area and have a sweet tooth!

I went to update my review for Kilwins and realized that I went back almost exactly a year after…read moreposting my original review - and got the exact same thing. Ha! I wanted a sweet treat after dinner at Ato Sushi recently, and I remembered loving the hot fudge at Kilwins, so that's where we ended up... again! Nate and I were greeted right away as we walked in and told that we could sample the ice cream. The employees were very kind and patient, as they have a lot of flavors to choose from, including several I'd never seen before. They make their own ice cream, which is fun since we have a lot of Hudsonville ice cream in this area (nothing wrong with that! It's just nice to see some different options sometimes). I got a single scoop of the berry pie flavor, which is vanilla ice cream with swirls of strawberry and blueberry, and pie crust pieces mixed in. Yum! I added the decadent hot fudge and was so happy. Nate got the praline pecan and really liked it. The total for our two cups was $15 with tip, so definitely pricey for ice cream, but worth it for a treat for me every once in a while.

I was struck by a couple of details: *They offer you a sample when you walk in the door. *They give you the option of a free gift bag with tissue paper as you're checking out. I really appreciated this since I was giving this as a gift and I was from out of town. It meant I didn't have to go buy one, which I was grateful for. *The store itself just has a wide variety of nuts, chocolates, peanut butter and candies. Something for everyone! Service was friendly too!

This was my first time visiting this shop. I ordered a small amaretto coffee. I took one sip and…read moreit tasted only of cinnamon. I asked the barista if there was cinnamon in my coffee and she said, "Yes, we put it in every coffee." Without asking??? What food establishment just willy-nilly "adds" something like cinnamon to every single item they make without notifying their customer? I would have gotten a refund but my friends were ready to leave. I ended up just sitting my full coffee on the counter and walking out. $7 (tip included) just wasted.

I'm thrilled (and relieved) to say that Midnite Patisserie ticks off all the boxes I look for: lots of flaky layers, buttery bites, sweet *and* savory options, and creative, gorgeous flavors. Midnite's menu rotates weekly, and in order to get your hands on them, you have to plan ahead via preordering. Check the instagram page or website on Wednesdays, take your pick (there is an option to order a sampler box at a discounted rate), and pick them up from the "secret kitchen" on Saturdays from 10 AM-1 PM. I promise you: it's 1000% worth it.
