    They sold me a fake labubu. The "labubu" came in the original packaging, but had a fake labubu.

    Mando!
    Aaron Z.

    My wife went in to get some Fudge, while the fam, German Shep (Mando) and I waited outside. (I didn't check to see if it was pet friendly, I just automatically believe a food-service place wouldn't appreciate a 90 pound dog blowing his coat in the store!) A very nice guy came out and asked a few questions about Mando and showed some affection. Then asked if he could get Mando some ice cream. (I showed him my wife and said she would need to answer as she's a vet tech.) Next thing I know, here comes this exceptional man with a med bowl of vanilla for my pooch. Free. (The Fudge my wife bought was also exceptional!)

    Super curious about their 'Unicorn Stars' and 'Super Moon & Stars' flavors.

    This seemed to be the go to place for tourists and visitors for locally made ice cream in the area, and wow, they offered so many different flavors - from classic flavors to local or Michigan specific ones. Judging from the amount of ice cream left at the shop, it looked like 'Superman' was the number one most popular flavor. I decided to go double with that flavor and 'Blue Moon', both of which were quite delicious - sugary and most definitely with very fun colors. The blue in 'Superman' was actually 'Blue Moon' though, just FYI. The red was cherry and the yellow was just vanilla. I had to have it cause this flavor screamed the most Michigan. I think a double cup was $4.99 if I recall correctly fly. The shop sold far more stuff than just ice cream, just so you know; it was basically a fusion of an ice cream shop and a candy store, so you'd find some fudge in here as well.

    Blue play dough - blue moon ice cream with pink and blue sugar cookie chunks, in a Superman waffle cone

    This place has four cases of about twenty different flavors of ice cream. It could be bad if you're indecisive... but you'll definitely find at least one flavor to love! They had blue moon, plus "blue play dough" -- a unique combo of blue moon with sugar cookie pieces. PLUS a Superman waffle cone to put it in!? SO COOL. We will definitely be stopping by here every time we are near the area HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Fresh made ice cream's and walls of candy! Sweet Spot is conveniently located in the shopping and dining plaza So it's a perfect place to stop after dinner. There is lots of free parking available as well. They had so many flavors to choose from in the fresh made ice cream's as well as a large selection of cone options. I loved all of the specialty waffle cones. Definitely I G eats. I went with a Michigan favorite, superman ice cream and a superman waffle cone. Both the ice cream and waffles were fresh and delicious!

    Candy Playdough Ice Cream (nutmeg flavored blue moon ice cream with sugar cookie chunks) with a vanilla chocolate cone - so SO good!

    Candy Playdough ice cream in a Vanilla-Chocolate Cone. Don't bother with anything else because this fresh nutmeg tasting blue moon dream with sugar cookie bits is perfection. Lord almighty. I'm not a huge ice cream person but I could literally eat this as every meal.

    Small banana split popcorn
    Jill O.

    This place was a pretty nice surprise. They have a TON of varieties of fudge. We didn't buy ours from here, but they had flavors that I've never seen at the other ones- like Superman and Cheesecake. The slices are prewrapped and look a little thin and soft, but I can't speak to that from experience. What we DID buy here is popcorn. There's a whole wall of it. We got some sort of special combination package pricing that was like four bags for $30 and it came with a tote bag. We got a large bacon cheddar, a large ranch, and a small banana split, plus a large of plain ole buttered popcorn. The flavor on the bacon cheddar one was explosive, and well worth the money. The banana split one is (obviously) super sweet, but definitely tastes like banana. I want to come back to try the Mountain Dew flavor.

    This place was great. Lots of treats and they kept giving me samples!!!! With that said, I had to get some ice cream (before dinner) and picked up five bags of popcorn. Very cute and fun place. So much so that we went back and sampled MORE then had to try a new flavor of their homemade ice cream. I think their popcorn here was a tinch above the rest as each place has their own unique styles of making it. They also have candy and truffles. I had to try a couple of the raspberry chocolates. The raspberry truffle was much better than the raspberry jelly filled chocolate. If you're in mackinaw city this is a must do...fun little place with delicious treats.

    Superman and amaretto cherry in chocolate cone.
    Aya L.

    Stopped in here to try their ice cream during my trip to mackinaw. What really made me choose this place over the dozen other shops was the flavored cones! I ordered a chocolate cone with Amerreto Cherry & Superman ice cream. The cherry was reaaally good. The service was ok, definitely far from friendly. If the service was better I'd give a higher rating. They also had sweets popcorn and fudge. It's like a one stop shop, but I'd rather get all that from stores dedicated to popcorn, fudge, etc. I'd say give this place a go. I will try other mackinaw ice cream then leave a review to this! Also, any true Michigander would laugh at the "'Michigan Pot Hole" flavor!!!

    Peanut Butter Mackinac Fudge & Chocolate Mackinac Fudge
    Kathryn L.

    Gale force winds on a ridiculously blustery fall afternoon could not keep us away. The winds were actually blowing the door open if left ajar at all. We could see the waves crashing at the ferry dock down the block, but we still wanted ice cream. It did not disappoint! We each chose some sort of "Mackinac Island" flavor (how could we NOT based on where we were), one chocolate based on one peanut butter based. They were both fantastic and the portions were very generous. We ran to the car to seek refuge from the crazy winds. But, we're looking forward to returning to Sweet Spot when we'll actually have to be concerned about our ice cream actually melting if we don't eat it quickly enough!

    Licorice flavor ice cream
    Donna C.

    They have 76 flavors (that's what the sign says I didn't count it but there were ALOT of flavors inside). My husband loves licorice and they actually have a licorice ice cream. He loved it. I had the black cherry dark chocolate chunk. You can sample the flavors before buying. Besides ice cream and sorbert and yogurt they have popcorns and other snacks.

    They only offer 1 sample per person here even with no people in the store. The ice cream was decent but not worth the cost either.

    For ice cream: great selection of flavors, great portions, great value. Much better than our visit to Mickey's a couple nights before.

    Average ice cream, terrible service. If you enjoy hostile treatment, this is your place. Otherwise, take your business elsewhere.

    Best place for ice cream in Mackinaw City. No matter how crowded it is there is never a long wait. A lot of flavors to choose from.

    First off, this name was associated, but it was also called 'Smash Sandwiches'. If you search it on…read moreGoogle Maps, that's what comes up. I visited on a Friday, so it was a bit busy. There was a wait and the food took a bit too, but it was still doable. I loved all the options and the sandwiches are a good size! They come with a bag of chips, but you can upgrade to get a drink and additional side (I picked the coleslaw). I think I would have just been fine with the chips, honestly. The coleslaw was good, but not anything amazing. I thought my sandwich was pretty good, and I appreciate the dips and sauces they serve with it. The chicken on my sandwich was a bit dry, but the sauce helped a lot. I got to try a different sandwich from my friend and it was good too, but also a bit dry (oddly!). I'd definitely come back here again and I think this spot is a great option. The area is so congested, expensive, and busy, so I appreciated that this was different!

    The cafe looks different in person than reviews so I'm not sure if it's going through new ownership…read moreor they're doing some major renovations. I was very surprised at how empty this place was because the food was so good!! You get a large portion for 15-18$ and it comes with choice of chips. I love the creative combination of flavors, works so well!! After eating American food all weekend, I was looking for something that stood out and Zachariahs was just what I was looking for! Had a hard time deciding between the Mighty Mac and Pistachio Press. Went with the Mighty Mac & it didn't disappoint. High protein and the Greek yogurt ranch was phenomenal. I should have gotten both to be honest because I can't stop thinking of the pistachio press. Lol
