Le Serving Spoon is a bakery and cafe and it's a nice little lunch spot. Their sandwiches and soups…read moreare scrumptious. I'm not normally a sandwich person, but these are very yummy. Make sure to grab a bakery treat to go! They also have a catering and custom cake service. We had them cater our wedding reception and the food was amazing! We got so many compliments about the food. And all of our guests scarfed down the equally delicious cake, leaving absolutely no leftovers for the newlyweds.

My second stop at Le Serving Spoon was like the first - that is, nice but not extraordinary…read more I had the blueberry pancakes with a side of scrambled egg and a chai latte. The blueberries were fresh, but seemed dropped into the pancakes as they cooked, as they were like large pockets on one side only. The side they were on seemed a scooch underdone. The egg was very good - a little on the dry side, which I like. If I could put my finger on the one area for improvement, I would call it "flow." Unless you've been there before, it's not totally clear how things work. There are a couple menus on the tables, but you have to place your order at the counter. The coffee appears to be self-serve, but it's not gratis. They also ran out of mugs and served some items in to-go cups; they also ran out of coffee and the replacement batch took several minutes. On a Saturday morning around 9, there were a handful of tables occupied but it seems like they were staffed for less. These are certainly not huge obstacles, but it makes the experience a little less user-friendly. On our way out we forgot to buy the bakery items (s'mores bars - omg) we'd ogled while placing our orders. Boo on us.

They had lavender shortbread, so I had to stop in and get some! When I see baked goods made with…read morelavender, I can't pass them up, and especially when it's shortbread. And because why the heck not, I also got a toffee pecan shortbread cookie. Why eat just one cookie when you can eat two? While I was there, I got probably the best iced tea I've had in a long time: the holy basil tulsi, which was wonderfully green-tasting and mellow. They have a good selection of all kinds of teas, from rooibos to herbal to black to white to oolong to green and more. But if you're looking for something different, I highly recommend the holy basil tulsi! I'm kind of kicking myself for not buying some of that tea while I was there, because I would love to enjoy it at home. They do sell their teas, so if you're smarter than I am, you will get some tea to take home. One of the great things about HumaniTea is that all of their teas are humanely sourced. They are very invested in combating slavery and human trafficking. So you can feel good that the tea leaves you're enjoying were responsibly sourced. That's a feather in your cap (and in your cup). Another neat thing about HumaniTea is that they offer local kombucha by the growler! I don't think I've ever heard of kombucha on tap, so that's pretty unique.

This Bakery!!! Why don't I have a bakery like this closer…read moreto my hometown!?! Waaaaaaahhhhh!!! It's nothing from the outside. It's rundown. One tiny chalkboard sign in the window with the hours. You'd miss it if you weren't looking for it. But- LOOK FOR IT!! You will not be disappointed!! Paul the owner is the sole baker. His sister Barbara lovingly packages what you chose from the display case and cashes you out. They summer here at Silver Lake during the summers- all the way from Massachusetts! And they are just simply the best people ever! Oh the baked goods! Dill and cheddar scones 10 stars! So much dill, perfectly soft on the inside and yet a perfect brown crust. The raspberry and rosemary scones are equally as amazing, with real fresh raspberry jam in 4 little pools on top. We had nearly all the cookies in the cookie jars with the sugar cookie and confetti being our favorite. The cardamom radiating bun is unique and dense, the raisins are soaked in a orange liqueur and the top gently dusted is powdered sugar. Then there's the raspberry bar!! I only got 1 on my last day here, as we were headed home, and I'm living with regret still. Get like 6 of the raspberry bars! Don't be like me. In fact get like 6 of everything when you're here. You'd be a fool to buy any less. The prices are worth every penny, but you don't have to dish out a lot of them. Cookie will run you $1.25 for the giant ones and the massive scones that you can make a meal out of are only $1.75, my 1 raspberry bar (stupid me!) was only $2 and I swear is weighted 6oz! The face size cinnamon roll is only $2. Come here! Say Hi to Paul and Barbara, get 3 bags of goodies, a loaf of bread du jour, and a hot cup of coffee. Enjoy your items at this quaint little bakery, lots is seating, or take your items in the road. Oh- I almost forgot- THE CINNAMON ROLLS! Go look at my pictures!

I've shopped at Meijer many times, but after what I've experienced during the night shift (around 8…read morePM), I will NEVER come back. The night manager who has a limp and assistant manager who is short and has curly hair with cauliflower ear are beyond creepy. Instead of running the store, they stalk and stare at customers--especially women--making the whole shopping experience extremely uncomfortable. The moment you walk in, they start following you around the store, watching your every move like some kind of predator. I don't know if they think they're being subtle, but it's painfully obvious. It's unsettling and makes you want to leave as fast as possible. No customer should feel watched, judged, or stalked while trying to shop. On top of that, they treat their employees like absolute garbage right in front of customers. I've seen them yell at workers, degrade them, and act like they're above everyone. If this is how they behave when people are watching, I can only imagine how bad it is behind the scenes. Between the creepy, unprofessional behavior and the toxic management, I cannot recommend this store to anyone--especially at night. If you don't want to feel watched, stalked, or uncomfortable, do yourself a favor and shop somewhere else.

They also have an order ahead service where you can order dinner rolls, cakes, pies, etc. for any special occasion, especially during the holidays. They also have something for every season. During the fall they have corn stalk decorations for purchase and pumpkins. At Christmas time they have wreaths for sale as well. They also will occasionally have dinners on the farm for a true farm to table experience. It is a self serve farm stand and they do accept Venmo and PayPal. Overall it is a wonderful stop in Hart with grab and go goodies such as salads, pasta salads, pinwheels, cheesecake slices, etc! The pricing is very reasonable too for what you are buying! I visit often and I've never had a bad experience!
