Cakabakery, located in East Fulton and with a second location in Holland, is a renowned custom dessert bakery. The owner, Jason Kakabaker, gained national recognition after appearing on Cupcake Wars. Everything at Cakabakery is made from scratch using real, fresh, local ingredients. Their specialty Lemon Blackberry Cake is highly recommended. The bakery offers a wide variety of desserts including cupcakes, cookies, customizable cakes and daily special treats.
Went to Cakabakery to order a small Wedding Cake. Other than wanting some yellow roses on it, I just advised I wanted something simple. I went to pick up the cake and was very happy to see the results! Even got teary eyed talking to Jason about our special day, and how the cake was a surprise for my Partner. Not only did it look just perfect, the cake was moist and the frosting wasn’t overly sweet. Thank you for making our day extra special! 💛💙

Jason did our cake & dessert spread for our wedding. From our tasting, to the wedding everything was absolutely perfect. Jason came to our venue and set up the display, it turned out amazing. Everything was a hit & you can tell it’s not made from a box. During this stressful time he made it so easy to communicate & helped bring our ideas to life better than we could have imagined. Thank you so much for everything & we will continue to come in and get some tasty treats!

Hired cakabakery for my wedding on 11/2/2024. We did a wedding cake and then a dessert board consisting of cupcakes, brownies, and cookies!!! They did wonderful!!!! Everyone loved the dessert and our cake turned out beautiful!!!

Went to the farmers market nearby and stopped here today on a whim because it looked interesting from the outside. The term hidden gem is the best way I can think to describe this place. The cupcakes looked amazing and had so many interesting flavors (we ended up getting half a dozen to try them all because we couldn’t decide on just one). I ended up talking to the owner who was super friendly and welcoming. He and the other employee made us feel right at home, like we had known each other for years. He told us they change out the cupcake flavors everyday so you can always try something new. And they were making them from scratch as we were in there so you know that they’re fresh. We tried a cookie on the way out and when I tell you that it was the best damn cookie I’ve ever had in my whole life, that’s not an exaggeration. Still haven’t tried the cupcakes yet, but I’m very excited! I bet they’re going to be just as amazing as they look. I also saw that they do custom cakes. They looked beautiful. I don’t have any events that warrant a cake, but it almost makes me want to go around my friend group to see who has a birthday coming up just to have an excuse to try one.

10/10 would recommend the Cakabakery for all occasions!!! Jason and his team were beyond exceptional and made every step of the experience easy and enjoyable. If you're looking for desserts or specialty cake for your wedding, Cakabakery is the best in the Grand Rapids area!

Cakabakery created a phenomenal wedding cake for our special day. Not only was it visually stunning, but it matched our wedding theme flawlessly. The taste was equally divine. Each layer was moist and the flavors were rich. The team (and especially Jason!) at Cakabakery was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were attentive to our preferences, offered great suggestions, and ensured every detail was executed to perfection - including making sure our inspiration photo would map appropriately to our specific cake. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious the cake was (we opted for a classic vanilla and it was amazing). I can't wait until our 1 year post-wedding anniversary so that I can eat it again (I snuck some without my husband knowing before putting in the freezer, hah!!)

Cakabakery exceeded our expectations with our wedding cake!!!! We got carrot cake and it’s truly the best in town. We can’t wait to get it again! This is our go-to spot for treats now 😍

Wedding bakery
Nantucket Baking Company on Lyon St in Grand Rapids, MI is a delightful neighborhood bakeshop that exudes a charming Parisian vibe. The bakery offers an array of artisanal breads, pastries, pizzas, and cakes in a rustic setting. Visitors are greeted with the inviting aroma of freshly baked goods as they step into this quaint establishment. The bakery takes pride in its vegan-friendly options, including delectable treats like double chocolate cake and generously sized cookies.
On the way up to the Upper Peninsula, land of the very scarce vegan options, we stopped in Grand Rapids, Michigan to pick up a (pre-ordered) vegan birthday cake. The Lyon Street location was adorable, with easy parking, a few outdoor seating spots and friendly staff. They are a full service Bakery that carry a few rotating vegan menu items in stock daily with the ability to pre-order any of the many vegan items they carry and vegan birthday cakes. Check out their website for more info. We both got a vegan walnut chocolate chip cookie and goobled those tasty things up in the car before I got a good close up pic. I also got a vegan everything croissant which was the perfect thing to go with some of my chickpea salad when we arrived at the hotel in St. Ignace that night, yum. The cake was even still really delicious 3 days later, when we finally cut it on Brian's Birthday. Vanilla cake, with chocolate frosting. I definitely recommend checking out this place if you are in the area. 🙌 Thanks for the great vegan options, Nantucket Baking Co.

This bakery is amazing! I’ve been in here plenty of times for their out of this world fresh bread, scones, cookies and more. Recently, I ordered a strawberry cheesecake for my friend’s birthday and it was PHENOMENAL!! Literally the BEST cheesecake I’ve ever had. Their friendly staff was so helpful over the phone and even via email when I needed to edit my order. Thank you Nantucket Bakery for the excellence you provide to the community!

The bakery Le Bon Macaron offers a variety of flavors for dog owners to enjoy alongside their furry friend. The Signature Collection features sweet cinnamon buttercream within while the Fruit and Floral collection has flavors such as strawberry cheesecake, salted dark chocolate, candy cane, and pumpkin. There are also several collections with different flavors such as Margarita Collection, Coffee Collection, Pistachio Collection and more.
Delicious macarons that had the perfect balance of chewy inside and delicate crunchy shell. My favorite flavor was the lemon raspberry. I really enjoyed how aesthetically beautiful it is on the inside! The service was friendly and the space was clean, and I love that they offered such a huge variety, including gluten-free options!

Ordered my favorite macarons for my bridal shower and they were such a hit! Everything was boxed carefully and ready on time for pick up! Great overall experience! The little towers are adorable. Can’t wait to order more for our wedding.

BEST place to get macarons!💗 They always offer amazing flavors and varieties and are consistently delicious. Their shop is adorable too and a great place to meet friends or co-workers. I had an iced latte when I was in last time and it tasted like heaven. I cannot say enough about how amazing this place is and if it was in my neighborhood I would just hand my paychecks over because their macarons are so good 🤣
Sara I — Google review
I was very disappointed with the macarons I purchased. They are a guilty pleasure of mine so I ordered a pack of 12 for $30 plus 2 single cookies for my son. I ordered 10 flavors in total and was very disappointed by the lack of flavor. As a baker with a lot of experience baking macarons, it was surprising that such a lovely establishment served such bland cookies. Most of them tasted the same (typical almond flavor of macarons) with no variation aside from the colors. Even the passion fruit cookie was bland and lacked any fruit flavor. The cookies were also hollow…every single one. For anyone familiar with baking macarons this is a big failure! For $2.50 a cookie I think these are way overpriced. These would have been “oops” cookies in my kitchen and wouldn’t be served let alone charged for. While they were pretty, they were also pretty disappointing. These staff was very friendly though and the establishment itself was very charming a cute.

Le Bon Macaron is like stepping into a little slice of French heaven right in Grand Rapids. The atmosphere is charming and calm, and everything about it from the delicate displays to the friendly staff feels thoughtful and warm. The macarons are the real star, of course: perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside, with a range of flavors that range from classic to creative seasonal options that are always worth trying. You can tell they care about the quality and craft of what they do. Whether I’m picking up a gift or just treating myself, this place never misses. It’s one of those rare spots that makes your day better just by walking in.

I love this shop, and I'm so glad we have delicious macarons in town! I didn't actually think I liked macarons until I tried them here (no one else local does them this well). The only place I've had better was in France. I highly recommend ordering for a wedding or baby shower or stopping in with friends/kids to try all of the great flavors and drinks.

A gem of a place for coffee and macaron. Molly & Natalie were great, she made the perfect Macchiato , good service. Raspberry chocolate macaron is delicious, when you take that first bite , it feels so good, crisp on the outside and soft inside, right balance of sugar and flavor. Great spot !!

The bakery known as The Salted Cupcake is a popular spot for its creative flavors incorporating savory elements. The cupcakes are usually available in limited quantities and often sell out, so it's worth grabbing one if you're in the area. Additionally, the bakery has many wheat free options, making it an ideal place for anyone with dietary restrictions. The bakery is beautiful and the ingredients seem to be of high quality.
I can’t even begin to remember how many times we have been fortunate enough to be blessed with the artistry of the delicious cupcakes offered. Not once have we ever been anything but pleased with our selections. Please keep doing what you do and we will keep telling everyone about you!!! If you could, bring back the blueberry pancake cupcake. PLEASE!!!! 😎

One of the BEST bakeries around Kentwood…. Pricey, yes but the taste of these beautifully crafted cupcakes is soooo worth it…. So scrumptious in a variety of flavors that are rotated. Even my dog loved his pupcake. I rather spend my money here than buying cheap, bland tasting cupcakes at a supermarket.

Ice cream shop
Nestled in the charming Uptown neighborhood, Furniture City Creamery is a delightful micro-creamery that has been captivating locals since its inception in 2013. Founded by the innovative Rachel Franko, this cozy shop specializes in crafting unique ice cream flavors using locally sourced ingredients. With an inviting patio where you can enjoy your treats alongside your furry friends—who are pampered with all-natural peanut butter banana frozen yogurt—this spot is perfect for a casual outing.
Furniture City Creamery is hands down one of my favorite ice cream shops in Grand Rapids! You just can’t beat fresh, homemade ice cream, and they truly are the best. I love their bold variety of flavors and how they’re always rotating in new ones—it keeps every visit exciting! I recently stopped by to celebrate Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, and it was such a fun experience! They had creative flavors like Chicken & Waffles, Fruity Pebbles, and Blueberry Pancakes. While I wasn’t quite bold enough to try the Chicken & Waffles, the Blueberry Pancakes flavor was absolutely to die for—so delicious! Beyond the amazing ice cream, I love the charm of their adorable shop and the friendly staff who always make the experience even sweeter. If you’re looking for a top-notch sweet treat in Grand Rapids, I highly recommend Furniture City Creamery!

Since moving to GR almost a year ago, this has definitely become my favorite spot to get a sweet treat! I’m very picky about my ice cream, but I like theirs because it tastes fresh. They rotate the flavors a lot, and my absolute favorite is Cookie Monster, it is the best ice cream I’ve ever had!!! The waffle cones are amazing, too! I come here wayyyy too much, but I’m not gonna stop anytime soon…
Evelyn S — Google review
The ice cream was great, the service was also great, and the fellowship was even better! I’d definitely return with friends again for the ice cream. I would say that the atmosphere could be better- I did visit in May, so maybe it’s a little rough looking in spring and gets better in the summer? I’d have to revisit to check it out- because it just seemed a little worn down. The idea is good- a back patio with some vines and decent seating, but it was a bit overgrown with a lot of dead leaves all over the ground. I recognize it’s outside, but it’s line visiting an elder person’s home- one where they’re struggling to take care of it, you know? But the ice cream! It’s good. Very tasty. The ship overall is quaint and I’d definitely like to try it again.

Liberty L — Google review
Consistently rude service. I go to Furniture city regularly, because I like their ice cream, but the attitude you receive when you walk in is unwelcoming. One employee in particular glares at customers and gives uncalled for snarky responses. I was behind an elderly couple that couldn't hear them properly, and the employee proceeded to speak to them loudly and slowly in such a condescending manner. It's insulting the way they speak to customers. I have seen them roll their eyes when customers walk in, and you always feel like you as the customer are interrupting or imposing when you walk in. They also have a terrible system where there are usually two employees working but only one person scooping ice cream. I will happily go to The Parlor instead.

Cute spot with a solid range of ice cream, including a couple of vegan options (which I think rotate). When I went, they had trans joy and vanilla. Both were good, but definitely leaned more sorbet-like than super creamy. The line was way too long for what it was, but my friends got other flavors and were fans. They also can make anything into a shake but it’s definitely a little more pricey.

The most decadent little dessert shop in all of the land! I have yet to find anything like it, anywhere really. The owner is fantastically friendly, making each visit feel like a casual chat with a friend. Mokaya is my “go to” spot for grabbing a 6 pack of chocolates for birthday gifts, along with a 2 pack for myself, of course. Everyone is always delighted to receive them. The refrigerated desserts are divine as well. Highly recommend the crème brûlée. As for chocolates…get the Thai basil! Or the cayenne pepper! Or the cherry key lime! You must try them all :)

Dessert shop
The ice cream shop Jersey Junction is a nostalgic favorite in East Grand Rapids, offering 28 flavors of made-in-Michigan frozen treats plus candy and light lunches. The store features locally sourced Hudsonville Ice Cream, and its unique selection of candy makes it the perfect stop for anyone looking for something special.
Amazing ice cream, service, atmosphere, and all around wonderful. - Dish: Waffle Cone with Michigan Pot Hole Ice Cream.  Simply delicious.  Similar to moose tracks, but with a Michigan twist.  Love it!  The waffle cone was on the softer side, a great texture, and a bit on the sweeter side (but not too much at all).  The price is a tad higher, but for the amount you get is WELL worth it! - Service: We asked questions and were answered politely, positively, and informatively.  The staff there seem to have a great handle on things!  We were helped rather quickly and there was virtually no wait. - Atmosphere: Very historic and old fashion.  The memorabilia is fascinating and you could spend hours just looking at it all.  They had a toy train running a circuit around the ceiling that was so fun to watch with the kids! The bathroom needed an update, though. - Conclusion: This is an awesome place to take anyone special, but especially kids, for a birthday or other celebration. Stopped by on a Saturday in late September around 5pm.

One of my go-to ice cream places. I don't even need to explain, every local knows this place. The serving is a lot as you can see in the pictures (compared to the cup), and the price is fair and reasonable in my opinion. I always love the combo of watermelon sherbet and belgian cookie butter (?), thats my all time go to. And I do need to emphasize this again but the portion is huge, so their small one is not quite so small actually (at least for me). The selection is wide, and every cup can get at least 2 flavors, I'm not quite sure but that's what I have been doing, 2 flavors per cup regardless of its size. I like how they have vegan friendly options as well. As for the service and wait time, I have read a lot about how the wait is extremely long and how sometimes the service is "bad", in all my visits to this place, I can see that yes the wait line could be long but not quite bad, I mean I have been in a longer line before and to be honest, if you cant wait and feel that its a waste of time then just go to another place, they only have so many people to serve everyone so it's understandable about the line. And also, if you're a local, you would know about this place always have a long line and should be prepared to wait. The service has always been good to me, I mean they're busy all the time and truly just wanna get things right so sometimes I could see why some behaviors might come across as harsh/straightforward but not to the point of being rude. I stutter sometimes when I'm nervous and my accent becomes stronger when that happens, but they always patiently listen and ask again if they dont quite catch my orders. There are places to sit, both inside and outside, and also available restroom to use. I like the rowdy atmosphere in general, definitely not for everyone in some aspects but just try it out.

I love this place so much and I have been going here since I was a little kid and would always get the amazing chocolate monster. One down side is that it is very expensive compared to other ice cream shops but I know that they need to pay their kind employees and pay for the ice cream so I understand. I would give it 100000000/10 stars if I could. Amazing place

Jersey Junction is a fun tradition for our family! Great place. Chris VanAllsburg started this lovely nostalgic ice cream and candy shop. Kids of all ages enjoy the model train that travels above eye level around the small shop. Sit in the vintage school desks while you wait, or take in the historical photos and newspaper clippings adorning the walls. So much history about Ramona Park, the Park that used to be on Reeds Lake where John Collin’s Park is now. (This is a vote to bring back Ramona Park!) There is also a deck with seating and a bench just below under a tree. The bike rack is often full of kid and adult bikes! Have you read or seen The Polar Express? Chris VanAllsburg’s son, also named Chris, created the story and the book and movie both have references to Grand Rapids. This train is sorta like the first Polar Express! There is a seating area & tiny restroom up one step, next to the staff waffle-making goodness.m. Unfortunately, the restrooms paper towels are not accessible for those with some disabilities (or shorter patrons). Because of the historically small size of the shop, the restroom itself is also small, unable to accommodate wheelchairs or walkers well. **The Starbucks a few shops down has a wheelchair accessible one in the back parking lot, or the D&W across the street.** All in all, it’s a darling ice cream shop with old charm and the young staff were professional and courteous. They even offered our group a “pup cup” for the dog on the very hot day. Umbrellas weren’t out and would be helpful in 100* heat, however! Thanks for all these years of fun, Jersey! We get excited for April 1st when you open for the season!

Jersey Junction is adorable and the ice cream is delicious. I love this place because the service is outstanding! I was there recently with my elderly grandfather and he had a slight stumble and fall outside- Ava and the other young woman working rushed outside to offer assistance. They were so caring and kind. My grandfather was 100% ok and loved the ice cream. A million stars. Give this place all the business!

One of my absolute fav ice cream shoppes! They have a TON of options! I like how they offer cute, fun drink/treat options as well! I want to come back to try this sprite float they were promoting soon! I got a double scoop in a waffle cone… and OMG YALL!!! 😂😭🫣 TELL ME WHY this was dang near a PINT of ice cream!! 😅 Not complaining! Lol Was pleasantly was surprised! I got the chocolate (ofc), and a heaping scoop of Carolina peach. OMG the peach was UNREAL. Perfect amount of peach, with little frozen peach chunks that were perfection! I highly suggest…. But if you do want any advice, ask for a cup or two when you order a dbl scoop in a waffle cone! You’ll thank me later! 🍦

Field & Fire is a bakery that prides itself on crafting European-style breads and pastries using organic ingredients. Their offerings include rustic European style breads, authentic French pastries, croissants, cinnamon buns, muffins, and other natural fermentation method-made breads. The bakery uses 100% organic flour and grains while also incorporating locally sourced items whenever possible.
Every time I visit the Downtown Grand Rapids Market, I always buy bread and/or other treats from Field & Fire. Absolutely delicious bread and baked goods. I highly recommend this place. If you are in the Market, be sure to pick up goodies from this great spot!

Greatest place around to get bread! Love their pastries even more. however they are much better when reheated if they’ve been out rather than eating after buying. I would love to see if they could, one day, be able to reheat them behind the counter at the bakery so I could have them right then and there. Please for the love of bread— BRING BACK THE RIGHTEOUS CROISSANT! I loved that one! Never have craved a croissant like that before.

This is a lovely spot to visit at the Grand Rapids Downtown Market. The gal today was very friendly and enthusiastic about the breads she was selling. She told us all about the sample bread, Righteous Seed, which is a darker bread with poppyseeds along with sesame and fennel seeds, Oh my! YUM! We decided to to shop a bit and then get a loaf on our way out, since there were several loaves left. When we came back, there was only a half loaf left but it was better than not having any! We shall be back!

They are located inside the farmers market. They recently moved to a smaller station at the front. We visited in the afternoon on a Wednesday.

I love their croisants and love their bread. But I don't like flies... In this photo there are 2 big flies comfortably sitting on pastry and there are about a dozen little fruit flies that are everywhere. I have seen these flies here on several occasions in August and even asked their workers why there were flies sitting on the pastry. It seems people working there are chill and relaxed about insects at their bakery. I guess the workers feel compassionate for the hungry insects... But if seriously, I hope they can fix this, I would be glad to get back one day! They need those blie light zappers killing flies. I haven't seen any!

MDRD, located on the 27th floor of the Amway Grand Plaza in downtown Grand Rapids, offers breathtaking views of the city skyline. The restaurant's modern Spanish cuisine and lavish cocktails are complemented by its sleek design and personalized service. With tiered seating, private rooms, and a balcony for eight, MDRD provides an upscale dining experience.
We had a lovely first visit. It was as expected after hearing nothing but high praise since they first opened their doors. We planned a birthday celebration, noted on our OpenTable reservation and received well wishes all throughout our service. We were seated in a private space overlooking the city and were treated with respect and welcome! The food is all top notch quality and flavor and preparation and presentation! All of these details made our first visit an outstanding memory, especially for a milestone birthday of a deserving family member! Our service was wonderful and pleasant and easy going. We appreciated being treated to a high-end experience with a comfortable approach. (We were sure to wear the appropriate business/casual specified on our reservation confirmation but did notice on our way out that other patrons wore more casual attire. I applaud the openness but always like to know how to feel most suitable. Overall, we were definitely glad to not be surprised when we arrived and felt our occasion warranted a dressier vibe.)

Quite the dining experience in Grand Rapids. The view was incredible - and the restaurant is designed to give almost every seat a view (very impressive!) Tapas style dishes were extremely flavorful. Perhaps not fully authentic but not in a bad way - their twist on Spanish food is quite a good take. Drinks were fantastic as well. Definitely will go back - albeit likely for a special occasion.

Best views in Grand Rapids. I absolutely loved this very chic restaurant. The flamenco reserva drink was so refreshing. The food presentation was a surprise. Very beautiful and explosion of flavors in your mouth. We really enjoyed the appetizers, we ordered the wild boar empanadas very tasty. We absolutely loved the spiced ginger carrots. So flavorful with a hint of spicy in it. The pepino salad was a nice surprise if you love pickled foods. The only reason I gave a 4 rating was because the Wagyu steak lacked flavor. The limon dessert Wowww what a fun experience! so delicious!!! Overall we had an amazing experience and the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Very romantic. Our reservation was at 7:00 p.m. so the Sun was shining very strong on our table. They do have shades if needed. Our waiter Jeff was so knowledgeable. He explained every single entree with every detail. He did a great job. We would definitely recommend this restaurant. We ordered a nice bottle of tempranillo overall our bill was not a shocker. About $300 for the spanish amazing experience. Worth every penny.

The Pump House is a locally owned frozen yogurt bar that offers a delightful experience with its artisanal froyo, gelato, sorbet, and custard options. Customers can create their own ice cream masterpiece by choosing from a variety of flavors and loading up on toppings from the giant toppings bar. The Cookie Monster is a popular choice, featuring Oreo cookies added to a liquid froyo base. The place also offers hand-scooped ice cream and pints for purchase.
If a dive bar could be a chameleon, this place would be it. If not for the big mural screaming "Pump House," one would think this is the management office for the adjacent apartment buildings. Don't be fooled, for once you find this gem off of the beaten path of SE Kalamazoo near 42nd Street you will find a great and relaxed atmosphere with down-to-earth regulars and a pool table, and the drinks are more than affordable making this dive of SE GR a must.

Me and my friends have been here at many times, and every time the owner treats us badly, is really rude and stand off ish- but only when the women come. When the men in our group come by themselves, they have no issues at all. Even the men said our group get treated rudely when the women come with. I don’t what his problem is, but it seems like he truly only likes his old regulars and is never in the mood for non regulars, especially women, to come in. Very inhospitable.its not wonder it’s always dead and NOT vibing when we go.

RUNNNNNN! It stinks, it’s dirty, it’s dark, it’s ugly and the female who was working around 2:30pm on Fri, 26 July 2024 has the nastiest disposition one who works in customer service could have. I walked in, the miserable haggard behind the bar didn’t speak despite the fact that I did several times. I asked for a margarita, she mumbled, “I guess” and some other choice, negative, surly words. I asked her to repeat herself, she repeated the, “I guess” part and honestly, that was enough for me to tell her where she could put the drink, her funky attitude and that hole in the wall that needs disappear. Florentine’s is across the street and has decent food. Go there — go to Timbuktu — go anywhere besides this place.

Roses is located in gaslight village next to the boat launch. The scenery around the place is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. Open the kitchen so you can see them cooking. Coat hooks on the ends of every booth. They have an inclosed patio, which also has ceiling fans to help when its hot. The restaurant is stunning. Now the food, it did not take our breath away. My friend got the mac and cheese, and she said it's the worst she had ever had. It didn’t have a cheese flavor to it. It's more like butter and light herbs. My angel hair pasta was good for the most par. It had cured meat in it tho and wasn't the best. Kids portions were small like maybe 5 yr old small. The deserts were fantastic tho.Overall, it was a nice experience, but the food just wouldn't get us back.

Always a great place to eat. Kay, our server was beyond EXCELLENT in all the ways; thank you Kay! Waited at bar until a table opened up outdoors. We kindve felt invisible for a good 10 Minutes however. Took a lot to get a drink even tho there were only 4 other ppl sitting at bar. Bar backs too busy making/pouring drinks for restaurant I'm thinking. More help, or at very least, quicker acknowledgement of our presence would have made all the difference. Bartenders seemed very stressed.

I chose this restaurant for my birthday and we started with the wrong foot. My sister made a reservation and the hostess didn't have it on their system, so we just had to wait for a couple of minutes while they prepared our table. Once the restaurant door closed it made a loud noise and that was part of our soundtrack every time a customer walked in. 😳 Rather unpleasant. The venue was dark and the music was gloomy. I started with the lobster bisque and it was perfection, so good! I tried the lobster bites and they were a tad too salty for me. For main course I ordered the beef Wellington with mushrooms and mashed potatoes on the side, it was nice. Drinks were delicious and the 6 desserts I tried were amazing. Probably the best desserts I've had in town. The service was good. I'd suggest to take care of the musty odor coming from I believe the carpet on the lower floor I noticed on my way to the bathroom, which was impeccable.

I have lived all over the country and have eaten in fine dining establishments from coast to coast. This was probably the best service I have ever had. I'm here to tell you, it is an experience! The wait staff are complete professionals at what they do, with detailed knowledge of their delicious menu. They present the food in a choreographed manner that was just delightful to witness. The atmosphere is what you'd expect - dimly lit, tastefully decorated modern dining room. The food was delicious. My steak and lobster were both perfectly seasoned and cooked. The scalloped potatoes were to die for, I would come back just to eat those! All in all, a wonderful dining experience. Do remember this is obviously a very expensive place, think $300+ for two people. But worth it to splurge every so often if you can, I think! Highly recommended.

The Delicious Spot for a Special Occasion or Business Dinner If you're debating whether to eat here, just do it. I visited on a business trip and it was a standout dining experience. Here's a quick guide to making the most of it. What to Order: The star of the show is the 16oz Australian Wagyu steak—it’s an incredible cut of meat and cooked flawlessly. For starters, the piping hot cheese bread is a must-have, and the calamari is a great choice for sharing. The Atmosphere: This is a fantastic choice if you want an intimate setting. The noise level is moderate, making it ideal for quality conversation. It strikes a great balance between being upscale and comfortable. Best For: • Date Nights & Anniversaries • Important Business Dinners • Celebrating a Special Occasion The service was excellent and very attentive. While there are plenty of dining options in the area, this place delivers a premium experience that is absolutely worth the price. Highly recommend.

My husband and I came here for him to try Beef Wellington and to celebrate our anniversary. I thought it was sweet they had flower petals on the table for us. I did not like how dark it was, but it wasn’t horrible. My husband said the scallops were amazing, the beef in his beef Wellington seemed not to be seasoned and the peanut butter dessert he got was delicious. I enjoy the lamb, a pumpkin martini and the espresso cake! Our waitress was wonderful and very attentive.

I really appreciated the friendly and attentive service — the staff were excellent, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. However, I was a bit let down by the food. The steak lacked depth of flavor and wasn’t as tender as I expected. As someone who has had extensive experience with Wagyu in Asia, I was particularly excited to try it here — but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The texture was limp rather than melt-in-your-mouth, and there was more sinew and gristle than I’d expect from a high-grade cut. For the price point, I was hoping for a more memorable dining experience. Still, it’s a pleasant spot if you’re looking for great service and a vibrant setting.

Marge's Donut Den has been a beloved part of the Wyoming community since 1975, earning its reputation with the motto "Quality comes first." This charming donut shop is famous for its delectable fritters in flavors like apple and blueberry, as well as their creamy custard-filled long johns. Everything at Marge's is made fresh daily, from the dough to the icing, ensuring that each bite is a delight.
Marge’s seems like a GR institution, and it’s easy to see why. They have a wide assortment of donuts and pastries for sale at decent prices, and the staff is friendly. The donuts are fluffy and sweet, and there’s nothing to complain about. I really liked the chocolate old fashioned donut with its bit of crunch. Buying the donuts was as easy as I could hope, and I appreciate the warm attitude of the employees. I hope they continue to serve GR for many more years to come.

Robinette's Apple Haus & Winery, located in Western Michigan, is a popular destination known for its seasonal produce, fresh apple cider, and delicious baked goods. The family-friendly farm offers activities such as apple picking and corn mazes during the fall harvest season. Visitors can also enjoy year-round shopping and dining experiences at the venue.
I absolutely love this place! Not only does it have the best donuts around that are warm and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the cookies I recently tried were amazing too! The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming, the activities are fun for everyone, apple picking is fun (first time I ever apple picked was here!), the store is also cute with a lot of local items. Also, the winery is amazing and you can also do wine tasting! This is definitely a family staple around West MI and a must go to!

I went off season (no outdoor activities involved) and was so impressed by this little gem in Grand Rapids. The donuts were beautifully soft and so satisfying. Additionally, everyone at the wine cellar was so friendly and so helpful. Though very sweet, I loved their recommendations, and I’m so glad I bought bottles to share of their peach Spumante. They did offer a discount if you buy 4+ bottles. Also, loved hearing that their wines support local MI farmers as all the fruit used for the fruit wines comes from MI farms.

I also love stopping for a wine tasting,it’s such a fun and cozy experience. The employees here are truly wonderful. On my last visit, I couldn’t find a specific apple variety, and one of the staff not only walked me right to them but also took the time to explain the differences between a few others I might like. That kind of thoughtful service makes you feel so welcomed.♥️♥️♥️♥️

Mid-sized apple orchard. They have a few children’s activities but not as much as some of the others in the area. We did the horse drawn wagon ride and that was very nice. The petting zoo was just a few animals in individual pens. The donuts line was way too long. It seems they could have a better process for it. No other lines outside of that. They only had one type of apples for U-pick and it was $25 per bag. We couldn’t bring the children in with us for the wine tasting. There was a small slide and a jumping pillow. The jumping pillow was for children over 3 so we didn’t participate as one of our little ones was only 2. It seems like a great place to spend an afternoon if you live in the area however, not exciting enough for our annual fall weekend trip.

Our food arrived quickly and was delicious, though a bit on the salty side for our taste. Still, the flavors were fresh and satisfying. The combination of great service, scenic surroundings, and family-friendly policies made this a memorable visit. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Robinette’s to other families (especially those with dogs) looking for a relaxing place to enjoy good food, local wine, and a beautiful outdoor setting.

Honestly a little disappointed. Just seems your whole business is a little dishonest. Your pies packed in your boxes are just GFS pies and your coffee here, while good, is marked with a wonderful from Michigan sticker making it seem local. It’s from Wisconsin. Again, great coffee but the negative review is more so with how you’re marketing yourself with less than honesty and it seems a bit shady.

It’s so fun to be in the city and drive about 10 min and be at an apple orchard. This place is busy busy on weekends but that’s how it goes. If you don’t like crowds, don’t come on the weekends. They have the best tasting donuts and cider and yummy chocolate wine! We go cherry picking in the summer and their nectarines are to die for! The ROBINETTES are so friendly and will answer any question you might have. They’ve been around since 1911 and hope they will be around for another 100 years. Love you guys

We had a great time. The kids loves the bonfire and the drinks we had were the non alcoholic and they were amazing. It was a little dark so you might need your flashlight till you get used to it. Out hostess told us all about the restaurant and the decorations. We did ask her about them. They have a fish tank upstairs. I should have taken more pictures but I didn't. We will go back again. The nacho fries were good too!

A very unique atmosphere. More importantly the food was delicious, tender. There spring rolls had the most delicate flakes wrap. Sauces were spot on. Service was great, the bartender explained everything that I asked and enjoyed watching my drink be made with pride. Id definitely go back and bring friends.

Dear Max’s, your staff, food, and drink, plus ambiance were amazing! I make it a point to visit tiki bars when travelling. While visiting family in Ohio I dragged my dad here from Toledo on a Thursday night. (what a drive and a half) The servers were a pair of young ladies, one gal had a Rum Rum, my darling shirt from the High roller tiki lounge/ Bettie Page rum from out in California which I immediately recognized, and thought was pretty badass! I didn’t realize the owners also had a SF location which explained a lot of the items I saw around the place 😊 Either way the food was superb! The portions were huge, and I wish I could have tried more. The drinks were top notch and again I wish I had a bigger stomach to try more. The servers hooked up my dad with a taste of a rum that they thought he would enjoy, since he’s a bourbon guy and it was both generous and thoughtful! I was absolutely exhausted by the end, and I regret not exploring the upstairs ( which we were invited to check out several times). I am not sure If they had any souvenirs for sale, nor did I see a swizzle… but I got a couple post cards for my tiki cabinet.

This place seems like an oasis in a concrete city. If you ever wanted to go to a tropical environment and have a few drink drinks and maybe a few appetizers or food, this is your place. The staff was very friendly when we were greeted at the door and they continued to be friendly while serving us. They were friendly and helpful with giving advice on drinks and I imagine food if we had done so. I will say the drinks were strong. I am not complaining. I’m just letting people know. If you wanna get the most bang for your buck, this is definitely one of your stops. They had a wide variety of beverages to choose from. I am sure you will find something that will wet your pallet. The interior is unique in a way that you might not expect. It has multiple floors. The upstairs has a full see-through aquarium, which was very unexpected. The main floor has the bar along with little private cabana type rooms you get seated in for a small party. Overall, this place will be somewhere I come back to and try additional beverages or maybe some food.

As a tiki connoisseur, this has to be one of the best tiki bars I’ve ever been to. It’s on par with Three Dots and a Dash in Chicago and Tiki Tatsuya in Austin. This place might as well be part museum/exhibition of high tiki art. There’s a large collection of numbered Shag prints hanging casually on the way to the bathrooms, for example. I will be coming back here each and every time I’m in Grand Rapids or else I will have a temper tantrum and become inconsolable. In fact, I will travel to GR again just to visit Max’s. Also, make sure everyone at the table gets a bread pudding, otherwise fighting will ensue over bites. I loved this spot 💗🍹

Chocolate artisan
Love's Ice Cream & Chocolate is an artisan shop located in the hip and modern surroundings of Grand Rapids Downtown Market. They offer a variety of hand-crafted ice cream, vegan gelato, sorbet, and baked goods made from scratch. The ice cream is made from organic, grass-grazed dairy and boasts a classic-yet-modern twist that focuses on high-quality ingredients. In addition to their sweet treats, Love's also provides vegan alternatives for those with dietary restrictions.
Love’s is inside the Public Market - tucked in the back, but so worth finding! I’m dairy-free, and they had six different vegan and gluten-free options, which is a dream. They offer free tastings, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! I ended up getting the vegan dark chocolate, vegan amaretto cherry, and vegan lavender blueberry - loved all three! 😋 The texture is like gelato, but the staff explained it’s more coconut-based. Bonus: there’s plenty of seating nearby, making it a great little spot to chill and enjoy your treat. Definitely coming back! 🍦✨

Love's catered the dessert for our wedding and I'm so happy they did! We knew from the start of planning that we wanted to serve ice cream for dessert, but we weren't sure we would have room in the budget for someone to scoop on site. Just two weeks before our big day, we reached out to Love's for a quote and booked right away! Maya was so easy to work with and thoroughly answered ALL of my questions. The guests loved the ice cream and wished we had booked them for longer, so they could go up for seconds! Booking with Love's was one of our favorite decisions we made!

We chose Love's to be the dessert option at our wedding this past May and it was such a hit! Their team was extremely helpful and responsive leading up to the big day and made hiring them a breeze.

Our guests have not stopped talking about how delicious it was and how fun it was to have the ice cream cart there. Highly recommend using Love's for your next event. :)

Best ice cream in Grand Rapids. Not only that but the staff is super nice and helpful. They are super informed on the product they serve.

Sweetielicious is my favorite place for pies! The Dewitt location is so much closer for me but I happened to be at the Downtown Market in Grand Rapids and had to grab a slice. I bought my usual favorite Tom's Cherry Cherry Cherry Berry but had to take a chance on Laura's Sticky Toffee Caramel Apple Pie. A delicious pie! I am very particular about apple pie. The molasses cookies are delish too! I've bought many pies over the years. I was surprised about the reviews being low as she is a prizewinning pie baker. I believe the strawberry/cherry cupcakes that people say are dry are an angel food cake. The texture of angel food is much different than regular cupcakes. Maybe the staff can help by clarifying it? Try the cookies, pies, carrot cupcakes....etc. well worth it! Follow me at withlovefrommiche on Instagram for more foodie adventures, in and around Michigan.

Girl was very rude and didnt want to help us. We purchased 2 slices, cookies and a cupcake and she tried to fit everything in one small bag.

6 PM put in for a GrubHub order for a burger, half-and-half custard, And chicken tenders. My order finally arrived me at 8 PM. What was supposed to be hard rock ice cream the main reason I made the order came to me as foamy milk. The burger and fries were cold I am more upset about the ice cream when I called Freddy’s to tell them about it, the young lady that answered the phone said that they pre-make everything when the order is put in when I told her that my ice cream was full of milk she said that they don’t remake anything, but that it sat out on their counter for over an hour and a half. If I was the manager there, it would be about customer satisfaction and wanting to keep customers loyal and keep customers happy. I have never complained or done a review like this in my entire life so I am a little bit upset. Very disappointed. Went without eating. 😢

The fresh rolls were to die for. The peanut sauce was so good. The crispy veggies, the fried tofu, and the herbs, rolled big and fat into a fresh roll, divine.

Ordered the yellow Curry and the flavor was true to form but with a tasty and sweet coconut milk.

My husband and I love Thai food and have tried a bunch of places around here. I used to work at a Thai restaurant, and honestly, I haven’t found one I really loved until now. Lai Thai Kitchen is hands down the best Thai food I’ve had. The service was great and the food came out super fast. We started with the crab wontons and they were delicious - crispy with the perfect amount of filling. I got the Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice with medium spice, and it was amazing. The spice level was just right, not too hot but still had a nice kick. The Thai iced tea was perfect too, not too sweet and really good flavor. My husband got the Chicken Pad Thai with no spice and loved it. The noodles, sauce, and chicken were all really well balanced. We were honestly blown away. I never write reviews, but this place was too good not to.

Sticker shock. No other way to say it. At 76 cents per oz, the heavy frozen yogurt adds up very quickly, not to mention the toppings. I have no toppings and my small cup was half full and it cost $8.06. That will buy you two containers of premium ice cream at the store. It is pretty hard to justify the prices at this ship when there are much more reasonable ice cream shops around.

Amazingly good frozen yogurt that you have complete freedom to make the way you want. - Vanilla and Oreos Yogurt (Froyo) - $0.76/oz, $9+: My daughter and I went with the simple vanilla yogurt. It was creamy and tasted very similar to soft serve ice cream. I didn’t really notice much of a taste difference and there wasn’t a bad taste to it as can happen sometimes. The Oreo topping was fresh and a bit on the chunkier side. That will be a matter of preference. It is charged by the ounce. There are a TON of choices of toppings, some of which are extremely unique. I doubt you will find anything normal missing. - Service: You serve yourself. You take a cup (waffle cups are available), pull the lever to dispense your choice of frozen yogurt, and move on to the toppings bar to pile on your favorite toppings. - Atmosphere: Normal ice cream parlor like feel, but with some unique differences. They have two swinging benches at the front window. They have standard tables with chairs and wood bench seating, but also bar stool seating. - Conclusion: I’d recommend them for sure. If you like variety, this is definitely the place for you! Visited on a Saturday at 12pm.

We had a wonderful experience at Mithu, a cozy, family-owned Sri Lankan restaurant in Grand Rapids. We tried the Chicken 65, Ghee Dosa that comes with an amazing thick chutney and spicy veggie sambar, and Sri Lankan Chicken Curry (which came with rice)and butter naan , and everything was packed with rich, authentic South Indian flavors. The food was comforting and delicious, but what made the visit even more special was the lovely couple who run the place. The lady owner was especially sweet and welcoming—her hospitality truly made us feel at home. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re craving soulful South Indian and Sri Lankan food!

We had veggie samosas, rasam soup, veggie korma+potato, chicken tikka masala, and butter naan. Rice was exceptional, as well. We would take the 90 min trip for the rasam soup alone. Also, the TV was playing a show of a woman chopping fruits and vegetables in a serene environment the entire time we were there, we need to what that show was, if anyone reads this and knows please comment here, it was hypnotizing.

Before I went vegan, I fell in love with veggie korma. Since then, every Indian restaurant I go to, I look to see if they have a vegan option for their korma, and they never do. And then I went to Mithu. Not only did they have a vegan korma option, it was literally the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. I'm not joking, I almost cried. I had missed it so much!!

Frosty Boy is a popular ice cream shop in Grand Rapids that offers a wide variety of gluten free and vegan options. It is also known for its unique lemon flavor.
The portions are generous and they have pretty unique sundae options. I love that they are able to add vegan soft-serve to any sundae or flurry. This gives tons of options for people with food allergies. The vegan soft-serve was very creamy. It was hard to tell it was not normal ice cream. Prices seemed a little high but that's true for just about everything these days.

Unfortunately, instead of addressing my concerns, they doubled down, denied my experience, and deleted my public comments. When I reposted, they accused me of harassment. I ordered a chocolate shake made with chocolate hard serve. I was told they’ve never made shakes with hard serve… which simply isn’t true, as I’ve ordered it before and it was made that way in the past. I said as much and they said I couldn’t have had it there. But I did. Last time was less than a month ago and whoever made it, did it right. I decided to settle for a chocolate shake with chocolate soft serve. I didn’t really want to leave empty handed in spite of my upset and after waiting in the long line. What I received was overloaded with syrup to the point of being inedible—it was so overpowering I threw it away after one sip. This isn’t about a single bad shake. It’s about being told I was mistaken when I know I wasn’t, and then being silenced for speaking up. I won’t be returning, and I hope this business reflects on how they handle feedback in the future. I’ve been a neighborhood regular for years, but after today, I won’t be coming back. Two stars only because I have some decent memories of actually getting a good shake here in the past.

Great selection of delicious frozen treats. Lines are often long but move relatively quickly. This spot could be so much better if they would eliminate the parking lot in favor of seating, shade, and plants. There’s tons of street parking, parking next door, and a large lot at City Middle High School. As it is the wait can be hot, there is no shade, and drivers are frequently a nuisance.

Yes. So happy to have gluten free options. I had my first gf brownie flurry in years. The lines were long but they went quickly. I look forward to trying other gf options.

Pinkie's Ice Cream is a great place to get your ice cream fix in Eastown. They have a variety of flavors, and they're always rotating new ones in. If you're looking for something specific, their menu has options for you, but it's also worth checking out their food truck this summer to try some of their flavors out!
This place is so freaking cute, 5 stars all around for being a cute ice cream parlor with tasty ice cream. Please note, the bell at the door became obnoxious after awhile, I feel bad for the workers that have to hear it all day long. The ice cream is fresh and tasty! I smashed the lavender and honey ice cream in a waffle cone and regret not getting some to go! Too bad I live in Wisconsin. 😂

Delicious ice cream with generous portions! 🍨 I tried the Espresso Oreo, Sea Monster and Honey Lavender. BF got strawberry. All so tasty. If you're craving something sweet, this definitely hits the spot. I would come again if I'm in the area. Now... Just wish there was a pistachio ice cream!

It was our first time and shop was real cute and had nice seats inside. Libby was the only one working at the time and she was so kind and caring. She paid attention to details and went to the back to check when I asked if they had any coffee flavor. She found Oreo Espresso and it was delicious! Libby deserves a raise since it is absolutely a blessing to have a staff like her who genuinely care. It was so refreshing to see how she was working. It is rare to see nice people like her nowadays. Thanks again, Libby for your amazing service. I hope you’re treated like you deserve to be treated. You’re amazing!! :) Strawberry was excellent. Strawberry Cheesecake was ok and wasn’t impressed by Praline Pecan. I’ll absolutely comeback for some more Oreo Espresso & Strawberry for sure!!

It’s one thing for Google to be wrong, I recognize the times are not always up to date. But to show up to Pinkies on a lovely evening desperate for ice cream at 8:12 p.m. (we walked their from our home, 30+ minutes) and to see the signs outside the restaurant say they closed at 9 p.m. was very, very disappointing. It looked like they had been closed for at least 30 minutes.

We’ve enjoyed Pinkie’s each season, they are committed to good ice cream, are in a nice spot on Wealthy, and make appearances at community events. They are changing over their ice cream, Sherman’s was the main staple but is no longer selling wholesale, so we’re excited to see what’s coming. They have many flavors and a decent sized scoop.

Went here with two sweets lovers, looking for "free cream and desserts". Turns out "desserts" means "stuff made with ice cream",so no cakes, pies, etc. Between the three of us we tried nine flavors, ranging from Baconator to black cherry (with Traverse City cherries), strawberry to salted caramel. All were okay, in the okayest sense of that okay judgement. Sweet, flavored, adequate. Meh, okay.

This family-run fast food restaurant is well-known for its burgers, hot dogs and fries. The chili here is said to be better than at some other places, but the burgers, hot dogs and fries are all great in their own right. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a classic burger joint, with faded pictures of famous people on the walls.
Awesome dogs! Amazing staff. Great atmosphere. Got to try a local drink called Vernon's. Very tasty. Even got a taste of it in a float from one of the staff. Definitely a great place to come check out. If we are ever back in the area, we will return for another coney.

A worker even came out to ask me a question about a food item containing an allergen I have that I wouldn't even think would be in there (very kind and attentive) The food was a big portion ans thus a great value!

My husband and I came to One Stop Coney last year and had a great meal—friendly staff and delicious food. Sadly, our return visit was the complete opposite. I ordered the Olive Smash Burger and fries. The burger was burnt, dry, and flavorless from edge to center. Not a bit of meat flavor, all just crunchy with no moisture at all. Completely inedible. The fries were bland and forgettable. My husband tried to order a Flint Style Coney Dog, only to be told they no longer carry the chili sauce—even though it’s still printed on the menu. This was the whole reason we came! He ended up with a plain hotdog from a pile that apparently had been cooked ahead of time was and was cold, with a bun that was hard on top and soggy on the bottom. Also inedible. We spent over $22 on food we had to throw away. What was once a place we enjoyed has become a place we will not return to.

They def live up to the rating. I am not from Grand Rapids or even west mi but I travel a lot through Kent county down to Cass county. I have had food from LOTS of places. This place is a 10/10. Food is great, and the fact that if you place an online order they wait till you get there to make the food and the wait isn’t long (for the most part). I came here once and was impressed but not enough to make a review. Finally came back and tried something new and I am def sold!

Crumbl Cookies - Grand Rapids offers customers a unique and exceptional bakery experience. They create delicious cookies with a perfect balance of crispy edges and chewy centers, available in a variety of flavors that change on a weekly basis. Their menu goes beyond the traditional chocolate chip cookie, ensuring there is something for everyone's taste buds. The presentation of their cookies and the overall experience of sharing these big and flavorful treats are truly remarkable.
It’s very clean and the staff were very friendly!! There were quite a few people ahead of me waiting for their orders but it didn’t take long to get mine. I got the Peanut Butter Cup Skillet Cookie ft. REESE'S and it was amazing!! 😋 Would highly recommend!!

Savory cookies that were not too sweet. The edges were a bit on the crispy side and the middle soft and dense. Overall, a good texture. Four Large Cookies $16 - Chocolate Chip: Good standard cookie! What you’d expect from a favorite and done right. - Pink Velvet Cake Cookie: Ours was not as covered in frosting as their picture, but it was still plenty of frosting. I would not have honestly wanted more than that. - Kentucky Butter Cake: Just a touch more of a butter taste and reminded me of a sugar cookie without the sugar crystals. - Sticky Bun: Yep, it tasted like a cinnamon roll. Not my cup of tea, but if you like cinnamon rolls, you’ll love it. - Service: The line was a bit longer, so the ordering process was (pun intended) cookie cutter. The gentleman taking our order didn’t seem to care much, but got us through quickly and correctly. The young lady handing us our cookies let us look in the box first before closing it to make sure our order was correct. The box was a bit sticky and (pun intended) crumbly. - Atmosphere: Only about a quarter of the store is customer service. The rest is kitchen. No place to sit and eat so plan on taking it with you. There is seating outside in a common area, but this is not ideal when the weather is cooler (like when we stopped by). There were also floor mats rolled up in the corner and made crowding difficult (it was a bit busy). - Conclusion: Good cookies, but not great service (though it was effective enough). Visited Saturday night at 7pm.

Amazing cookies!! Every single flavor is delicious!! This year instead of a birthday cake, my daughter wanted these for her birthday. The cookies were scrumptious, worth every penny! The customer service was excellent, I was extremely impressed. The employee that greeted me had a super sweet personality and answered my questions kindly with a genuine smile on her face!! These days that’s hard to find!! The only downside was the menu had said they had the smores cookie and my daughter had really been wanting that one. Since it was for her birthday, she was super excited it was available for her birthday! I had ordered 2 but when I got there, they had said that cookie wasn’t available. I placed a same day pickup order on the app around 8am with a pickup time of 9-9:30. So it’s not like they sold out before I got there. I got to choose another flavor in its place but my daughter was sad it wasn’t actually available. So that was a little bummer but over all, I would definitely recommend Crumbl Cookies to anyone anytime!

I stopped by the store to pick up some cookies and experienced a wait time of approximately 30 minutes. The store was not busy at the time, yet the staff appeared disengaged, spending more time socializing than assisting customers. In my view, this level of service is unacceptable and resulted in a complete waste of time. Ultimately, I left without receiving my order after waiting half an hour.

I had such a great experience at Crumbl cookies today. It was my cheat day for the month and I had been CRAVING. A soft cookie. I decided on Crumbl since it had been a while. I went in and the store was clean, everyone seemed to be in a good mood, and the employee that helped me was really nice. I didn’t know what flavor to get and I didn’t want to get something and be disappointed, and jokingly told the employee that it would literally ruin my whole day if I took a risk and ended up not liking it. 💀🤣 which I mean is kind of true. So I asked which one was his favorite which was the Oreo one. I got it, waited maybe two minutes. And then a different employee handed me my cookie with a big smile on her face! I told her necklace was so pretty! Because it reminded me of lord of the rings. Anyway, When I got to the car I opened the box, snapped a pic for the gram, then took a bite. It was SO good!!!! 😊😭🩷 10/10 will return for my next cheat day. Because the customer service was amazing and the cookie was amazing! But thank you for making part of my day off amazing!

Their cookies use to be mind blowing. My recent experience was meh. Not worth the price at all. Wish they kept popular flavors from the past instead of switching it up so often. Not sure why their were two cheesecake options, when they’re known for their cookies. So many great flavors could have been in place of the cheesecakes. Not compelled to come back anytime soon, but overall still probably the best cookie shop around, just not beating their own standard these days. Usually when I come their is a long line, but not this time. I think that speaks for itself. Ordered cookies and cream Vanilla bean And this Carmel toffee like flavor

This place is so amazing!! I walk in, excited to what cookies will be offered that day. They NEVER disappoint! Cookies like KEY LIME, Stawberry Cookies LOADED with strawberry frosting. I could go on and on, but please try any of their cookies that ate warm and with frosting! It brightens a cold winter day! They are phenomenal on a warm summer day. But then I usually go for a chilled sugar cookie. There are so many different cookies, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the same one twice. If you love cookies, you’ll love this place!

Rise Authentic Baking Co. is a gluten-free, vegan, and soy-free bakery located just a short distance from downtown GR and near John Ball Zoo. Their menu changes with the seasons but typically includes breakfast items like burritos and sandwiches, as well as soups, sandwiches, and an ever-changing selection of delectable sweets.
I’m not vegan or gluten free, but this place has the absolute best donuts. Something about the glaze is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. I would genuinely eat 2-3 daily if that was a smart choice for my health and wallet. I’m so obsessed. If you haven’t tried them yet, what are you doing with your life. On a side note, the atmosphere is amazing, baristas are super friendly, and the coffee is delicious. Make sure you grab a coffee and donut punch card and start earning some freebies :)

I’ve always loved Rise Bakery for their quality and accommodating my allergies, but lately it’s been a bit disappointing. The prices are just way too high for what you get, and unfortunately the staff hasn’t been very friendly in my recent visits. I ordered a simple bagel sandwich (cream cheese and avocado) when the place was empty, and it still took 15 minutes to get it. I want to keep loving Rise, but after a few negative experiences, it’s starting to lose the charm it once had.

Found this place with chatGPT and was not disappointed. Finding a place that cares about what they use and put in their food is very important to me. I was surprised with the flavor with the yumtart and blueberry glazed donut. Highly recommend it. Price was not bad for what you get. Service was great, parking on the side street is easy. If you care about what you put in your body, this is the spot. Gluten-free, vegan, soy-free AND Dye free? I’ll be back for more.

Experience the charm of a traditional British high tea at High Tea GR, located in the Uptown neighborhood of Grand Rapids. Indulge in a light afternoon or early evening meal featuring delectable cooked food, cakes, and an assortment of teas. The elegant decor and attentive service create an inviting atmosphere for guests to enjoy a delightful dining experience.
Visited on a Sunday at noon after making a reservation online. Parking is a little tricky in this area. We got there about 10 minutes early but were seated right away and out server Patricia explained the menu. We ordered two Fairy Teas and one Afternoon tea. The tea itself was lovely and the sparking lemonade was also wonderful. My children had a great experience. The food was terrific, especially the cucumber dill sandwich. There was trouble at the end applying my deposit to the bill so tbe server gave us some photos props to play with. Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend.

Not Just for Tea—Excellent Lunch Options Too! 🍽️☕ I was visiting family in town, and my sister—who’s been here several times—brought me and my nieces along to celebrate her birthday. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I'm not usually into traditional tea service. The idea of sipping tea while nibbling on scones felt a bit outside my wheelhouse. But since they'd all been before and absolutely loved it, I was curious. We were welcomed right away and shown to our seats. The décor is beautiful—warm, elegant, and inviting. You definitely feel like you've stepped into something special, even if you’re dressed casually (I was in tennis shoes, shorts, and a t-shirt with some kind of dog or Disney theme, most likely!). Our server kindly walked us through the process. Admittedly, I felt a little overwhelmed at first, but I think that was more my brain getting ahead of itself. Once we got sorted, my sister and I each ordered the Afternoon Tea, which came with four savoury bites, one scone served with lemon curd, fruit preserves, and clotted cream, plus four desserts. It didn’t look like much initially, but it was absolutely satisfying! My nieces ordered the Fairy Tea, which included two savouries and two sweets—perfect for younger kids. There were plenty of tea options to choose from. I had one of the summer blends—peach or another fruit-forward choice I cannot remember—and it was lovely. I also tried the Hot Cinnamon tea, which had a cozy, spicy flavor I really enjoyed. I'd absolutely recommend it. Since my sister had been here before, she also ordered the Cheese Toasties for the table to share. They were delicious and served with chips—definitely something I’d consider for lunch on their own next time. We also heard great reviews of the Scotch Egg and Shepherd’s Pie, so those are high on my list for a return visit. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was excellent, and we even had the chance to meet the owner, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, attending one of their themed events (my family went to the Harry Potter one last year and loved it), or simply stopping in for a quiet afternoon tea or a great lunch, this place is well worth a visit.

High Tea Grand Rapids is a treasure in the community. They serve a great variety of teas and serve a delicious and filling high tea variety of savory sandwiches and sweet pastries. They are able to provide gluten free, requesting a week’s notice to prepare. The hot teas are steeped on your table and come in some very traditional caffeinated brews along with some house-prepared varieties. The caffeine free teas like the cinnamon offering pack a strong flavor punch. The chai is blended in house providing great flavor. The gluten-free bread and baked goods were above average, something that can be particularly challenging. Amy helped with our reservations and served us, providing fantastic helpful and personable service. Be sure to check out the owners personal collection of tea sets on display near the front door. We had been looking forward to coming hear with our of town guests and were very impressed with the service and quality of the food. As well, the decor reinforces the high tea experience. The Jane Austen theme, including quotes in the menu and books on the table, is a nice touch. Definitely worth a visit for a special occasion or very nice meal.

Came to High Tea on a Bachelorette and it was truly a highlight of the weekend. The Christmas menu was DELICIOUS, and our waitress Sarah made the experience comfortable. For the Afternoon Tea menu we got 4 savories, a scone, and 4 sweet treats plus 2 pots of tea per person. We were so full after a single pot each that we couldn’t drink another. Definitely try the seasonal teas! We would all happily come again. Thank you!

The atmosphere is lovely and the food is SO GOOD. They use authentic ingredients from Great Britain. They also blend their own chai. Attention to detail is apparent throughout. Very excited to go back and try the new cafe menu as they have scotch eggs. They even provided me with a complimentary birthday cupcake for my birthday!

I heard about the Jane Austen theme at High Tea of Grand Rapids for August and September and knew I had to take our daughter and two granddaughters when they came to visit from Detroit. It was the second time I have taken her there for her birthday. We were not disappointed. Even the food descriptions on the menu were a delight to read. Since we were hungry for lunch, we ordered two high teas and a fairy tea for the four of us, and it was more than enough. With three pots of excellent tea, savories, sweets, and scones, we ended up having to take some home. The food was awesome, but the atmosphere made it a true British tea experience. The table was spread with a linen tablecloth, and there were real cloth napkins, silverware, monogramed plates, tea cups with saucers, teapots, gold-plated tea strainers, and tiny teaspoons shaped like keys. It was all very charming. The three generations of tea lovers enjoyed our outing very much and look forward to making it a birthday tradition each year for my daughter.

We called ahead the order and when I went to return the Elote for a non Spicy Corn, she threw my cup in trash and was really rude telling me she asked me twice if I wanted it. I know what I ordered because I don't do hot. The She angrily remade it throwing the ingredients in a cup with a terrible attitude and was an absolutely disgusting.

Delish Indian food. The Wednesday buffet is phenomenal and lots of intense, flavorful dishes. Biryani (chicken & rice dish) is bursting with flavor and wholesome. The staff is friendly and will gladly answer questions if you’re new to any of the cuisine. It’s a gem worth revisiting as often as you’re in the area!

Had lunch- Kothu Parotta- good tasting food . Wednesday Evening i- Dosa Buffet- is a blast. Quality of the food is good. Differently tasting foods great for the taste palette. Reasonable price. Several food are like home made. The price and the quality and variety like no other. Not greasy or too hot is the best part. If it is not crispy or super sugar yanked with cream. Ala crate has a good variety of Tamil, Malayalam, Hyderabad and different tastes. When you cook this many varieties, it is not 100% but feel homely and want eat again. The staff is very friendly.

I visited again today, and the food was still delicious, and the customer service remains excellent. Thank you for the wonderful experience! In my previous review, I mentioned that both the customer service and the food were fantastic. The owner and his staff were wonderful, and I will definitely be visiting again.

Great place for biryani in the Grand Rapids area! The Bhai Special Biryani is flavorful and well-prepared, definitely one of the best around. The hot and sour soup and starters are also good and make for a nice overall meal.

Review of Kolaa Urundai at Grand Indian Cuisine, GR. The smell of incense, aromatic food and the owner welcomed me at the restaurant. Dish I tasted - Kolaa Urundai *Looks* : Deep brown, crusty, looked well cooked. Reminded me of BBQ and meatball looks, very appetizing. *First bite* : Crusty outside provided mild pleasurable resistance to the bite. The crust gave way to unexpectedly pleasant and soft inner stuffing. *First taste* : Taste explosion! I did not expect that good a taste. I was expecting Dhokla or paruppu urundai or Mysore bonda type taste. This had a wonderfully different taste. *Texture* : Outer crunch was a pleasure. Inner soft stuffing had its own mix of textures from its ground ingredients that are well enjoyed by the palate. It was neither mushy nor homogenous like Dhokla/Mysore Bonda though those dishes taste good in their own ways. *Heat/spice* : Perfect for a buffet. Personally, I would like a bit more heat but that's only for my Indian taste palate. *Final word* : Its a superhit in my books, no exaggeration!

Best Indian restaurant in Grand Rapids!!! I've tried all Indian restaurants in GR, many times over and can confirm this is one of the best, if not the best. Location is great, prices were great, food portion was great and overall the food was absolutely delicious. Keep up the good work!! Update (Late March 2022): The restaurant had change in management recently and their service is even better now. Food continues to be absolutely delicious. I go here often and take friends and families with me.

Grand Indian Cuisine serves up some great food. This location seems to have had a series of Indian restaurants by different names and management. The food is very good with a menu that serves an ample variety of dishes. Service mediocre. While the food came out in the expected time, getting the waitstaff attention was more challenging than it needed to be. Decor a bit underwhelming. Take out can be a great option here and they seemed to do a substantial amount of it.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful culinary experience, look no further than Oppa Sushi And Korean in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This charming little spot offers an inviting atmosphere with comfortable seating that makes you feel right at home. The menu is a treasure trove of flavors, featuring everything from expertly crafted sushi rolls to mouthwatering tempura dishes.
Fun little place. The waiter was very patient with my poor pronunciation of the dish names. They made iced tea for me even though it's not on the menu. The bathroom is tucked away but is clean and tidy. Impressed by how fast the food comes out. Would definitely eat here again.

Update: I have ordered from Oppa several times since my first review. It's one of my new favorite places. Today was the very first time I dined in. The service was amazing! The food tasted even better due to presentation and not being taken out, and the atmosphere has a chill vibe that I love! The homemade dumplings were delicious, and the sushi bento box was amazing. You've seriously got to check this place out! Original review: Their sushi is amazing! I do think some of their menu items are priced just slightly too high, but it's competitive with every other sushi place in Grand Rapids. The first time I ever went, I accidentally ordered way too much, not knowing how big their rolls were, but none of it went to waste. As a matter of fact, I went back for lunch just days later. This is definitely going to be a regular spot for me!

Just ate here with my family. I got a California roll and jumbo spider roll. It was the worst sushi ive ever had. I had 1 of each and that was enough. It had a horrible after taste. My daughter got chicken fried rice. Superrrrr salty and full of pepper. She wouldnt eat it and thats her favorite food. My husband got a bento box. Everything deep fried was extremely greasy. Like stomachache greasy. His miso soup tasted like dirty dish water. My daughters other favorite. Wouldnt eat it after 1 spoonful, it was a waste of $65. It truly was such an awful food experience and we truly are not picky eaters.

Firefox&CMChicken is a Korean restaurant located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It offers a variety of dishes including fried chicken, spicy meat, rice dishes, and ramen. Customers have praised the exceptional service and phenomenal flavors of the food. The portion sizes are generous, with the chicken wings being particularly noteworthy for their size. The bibimbap is described as fresh with a perfect spicy and tangy sauce.
I was actually looking for Ramen places but then came across this place! I LOVE korean food and if you do too, then this is your place! I got the Cheese Chicken Tteokbokki (it's spicy if you are not used to Korean spice) and it was really delicious! Their service was great and, everyone was kind. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed this place so much I visited twice while in Grand Rapids. I'm always on the lookout for good Korean Fried Chicken when out and about, as it's not available back home. The first visit I had the tenders, and the second time the wings. Both were delicious, crispy, and just the right amount of heat. My second visit, they were having staffing issues which caused a much longer wait, but it didn't affect the quality of the food, so the extra time was just fine to me! Not sure what other options for Korean FC there are in GR, but you certainly don't want to miss this place.

Great service, clean restaurant and DELICIOUS food!! I ordered the veggie bibimbop and fried chicken tenders w/ garlic soy sauce and then I combined them together for the most delicious combo!!! 10/10 recommend!! The chicken is so crispy and delicious even without the sauce but the garlic soy adds the perfect amount of flavor and spice. I’m not from here but will definitely return whenever I come back again!!!

We've been here a few times and the chicken has always been fresh and so crispy. The bulgogi has great flavor. I love the original crispy chicken and soy garlic but just a warning, they are the lowest spice level but its still pretty spicy for people who are sensitive to spice. I can confidently say that is the best fried chicken I have ever had though!!!
Rj — Google review
Whatever you do, don’t sleep on this one. This is one of those spots I’ve been going to for years but I’ve never reviewed because it’s so obvious I’ll be back soon 😂. The fried chicken is so delicious (I particularly love the drumsticks), and there is a spice level for everyone. For those who struggle with spice, even the garlic soy will have some kick to it, but will be comfortable for most. The garlic spicy will be plenty hot for most. The red hot pepper will be too hot for most, but great for the adventurous! Had the beef bibimbap recently and that was tasty. Looking forward to branching out to the ramen soon, but the fried chicken is hard to not get every time. Service is friendly and pretty quick! Prices are very reasonable, even after going up the past year or so.

Was in the mood for some wings and found this spot that had some rabokki as well. What a great find! This was definitely a little bit too much food for the solo traveler, but everything was fire! This is just another version of soul food and this really hit the spot before the flight. Service was real smooth too and food came out quick even though there were two medium sized parties ahead of me.

Insomnia Cookies is a popular bakery chain renowned for its late-night deliveries. Some of their branches also offer a selection of ice cream. It is an excellent destination for those inebriated and craving cookies at 1 AM, as well as a delightful spot to celebrate birthdays. Customers have praised the bakery's thoughtful gesture of including birthday messages on cookie boxes. While they do provide vegan cookie options, there is room for improvement when it comes to offering vegan milk alternatives like Silk singles.
Had some friends in from Chicago and we all needed dessert. An option was available for everyone and all the cookies were delicious! Next time I’m going with more room so I can have ice cream with my hot cookie.

Ordered these for delivery from Uber eats. The cookies seemed smaller than advertised (yes I am aware that products being advertised won’t always be the same in person) they were significantly smaller as well as they tasted a bit like premade cookies that you’d get from the story by pillsbury or nestle.

Absolutely delicious. Was in here for my first time today & was impressed with the flavor. The Oatmeal raisin cookies were fresh, warm and wonderful. The chocolate chunk ice cream was thick and cold. Minus one star on the lack of seating. One set of stools are barely an inch shorter than the bar you sit at, forcing you to lean over really hard to eat your treat.

We both got two scoops of ice cream on a cookie. I got a chocolate chip cookie with a scoop of double chocolate mint and dreamweaver and my boyfriend got a white chocolate macadamia cookie with a scoop of moose tracks and chocolate chip cookie dough. The cookie was a bit smaller than we expected and we wish it would've been a little warmer. Overall tasted good. The store only had one counter on the side for seating but the rest of the store had a lot of open space for standing.

The deliciousness of the cookie was not in question. But the customer service was absolutely nowhere near bare minimum. It was my first time there and will be my last. I’d rather drive all the way to allegan and see if they’d treat me better. This was my first time ever as a customer of insomnia cookie. I didn’t know the difference in the packages. We wanted to get a total of 12 cookies but they were going to be all the “special” kinds that were Limited time only! The lady taking our order barely wanted to speak to me, so when I asked for the 12 pack she just said “yeah that for classic only”. Then offered no knowledge/suggestions or anything. So I just ordered everything separately, she gave me my total, told me to swipe my card, walked away brought back my box and that was the end of it. Not a thank you. Not a “this is how this works, here’s the options you have to make a pack”, nothing. If you don’t like talking to people don’t work in a place where you have to talk to people….

Are you serious? Where is ice-cream in my order?? I paid $15.54 last night through Uber eats. This is my order:- Ice Cream in a Cup Caramellionaire • Caramellionaire • Cookies 'N Dream ($2.25) • Chocolate Sauce ($1.00) • Brownie Bites Topping ($1.00) 1 Double Chocolate Chunk All I got was a cookie with some brownie chunks. No ice cream at all. What’s the point of charging me for all those add-ons if you’re not even going to include the main item? This is just lazy and straight-up disrespectful. If I wanted just a cookie, I would’ve paid $3, not over $15. I’m attaching the pics of items I received. I need Refund for the things which you didn’t even provided me, I even added extra scoop for extra money, where is the icecream?? Did the delivery guy ate it or you forgot to provide it??

We used DreamScape Desserts for our July wedding and would recommend them to anyone! They had a to-go tasting option that allowed us to narrow down our choices, which was so helpful! We ended up ordering a 3 tier cake (plus kitchen cake) with each layer a different flavor (vanilla latte, berry delight, and strawberries and champagne. They also were able to do gluten, egg, and nut free cupcakes for us as well. They delivered and decorated the cake for us. The cake was soo good! There was a guest who enjoyed it so much they had 5 pieces! We also had a few pieces left over to take home! Communication was fantastic through the whole process and they made everything so easy!

Italian restaurant
Testa Rossa Italian Ristorante is a charming spot located at 1017 Wealthy St. Southeast Grand Rapids, Michigan. The restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with its friendly and helpful staff. The menu features delicious options such as the chicken cutlet sandwich, chicken Gorgonzola pizza, spinach fungi pizza with fresh mushrooms, whipped ricotta, and homemade lemoncello. Guests can also enjoy vegan sausage on their pizzas.
Testa Rossa is a real gem on Wealthy Street, bringing that authentic Italian vibe right to the heart of the Midwest. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this place is something special. The ambiance is beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a cozy Italian trattoria. We went there for dinner, and even though we arrived a bit later in the evening, the service didn’t miss a beat. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to get us settled in, which was much appreciated. We started off with some fantastic appetizers—fried octopus and pizza bread knots. The octopus was perfectly cooked, tender with a nice crispy finish, and the pizza bread knots were a hit—warm, fresh, and loaded with flavor. For the main course, we went big with two large pizzas. One was a classic meatball pizza, and the other was a unique white sauce and potato pizza. Both were excellent. The ingredients were fresh, and you could tell the pizzas were made with care. The meatball pizza was hearty and satisfying, while the white sauce and potato pizza offered a nice, creamy twist that was surprisingly good. The portions were generous, so much so that we ended up taking a good portion of it home. And let me tell you, it was just as delicious the next day—always a sign of quality. Overall, Testa Rossa is an awesome spot. The combination of great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service makes it a place we’re definitely looking forward to visiting again. Whether you’re in the mood for a full dinner or just want to enjoy some good Italian food, Testa Rossa has got you covered. It’s a solid 5-star experience, and we can’t wait to go back and try more.

I don’t usually have pasta as my first choice of food, but I was driving by Testa Rossa And realized it had been quite some time since I had ordered anything from there. I went with “The Big Ragu”. It was a huge portion for $20 that fed two people. My timing was good as I arrived just ahead of the dinner rush. By the time I left, the restaurant was starting to fill up. I also realized that the garlic bread doubled as an accordion…so, dinner AND a show!

I also has one of their vegan balls. It was on the sweeter side for me, but the texture was on point. The ball wasn't crumbly either. It held together even after I bit into it. The batista was so nice and helpful. She helped me figure out a treat for myself being that I'm dairy-free (sometimes 😆) Bathrooms | The bathroom was clean. They have 2 single bathrooms.

Great ice cream sandwiches. Mixed theme atmosphere. - So Fetch $6: Probably the best overall for just about anyone. This takes the favorites of cookies and brownies together for a wonderful experience. It was quite cold. - Toffee Doodle $6: This was a smash hit of a flavor! My grandma made Snickerdoodles when I was a kid and this tasted EXACTLY like that, but maybe a smidge better with the ice cream. I HIGHLY recommend it if you like snickerdoodle. - Service: The lady helping out was super cool and helpful. Our order came out really fast, but there were no other customers when we ordered. There were a few after and things seemed to be running smoothly overall. - Atmosphere: With a mixture of old school children’s Disney theme and darker Nightmare Before Christmas, Deadpool, etc. It’s a bit of a juxtaposition for unique individuals. Not my preference. - Conclusion: They have a nice thing going, but be aware of the theme if you are bringing really little children. Visited on a Saturday night around 6:30pm.

I love that they have reserved parking for superheroes, but I have to be honest in my review. The cheesecake is over priced for its quality and quantity at $4/slice to start. I have had cheesecake just as good or better from Wal-Mart and Meijer. They also seemed high pressure as I didn't have any time to look at their offerings without the cashier standing right next to me. They also don't offer any multi-slice discount or anything like that.

Krispy Kreme is a beloved chain known for its delightful array of donuts, featuring various flavors and shapes that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. This iconic spot also serves up coffee and frozen drinks, making it a perfect stop for both donut lovers and caffeine enthusiasts alike. One of the highlights of visiting Krispy Kreme is their signature neon sign that lights up when fresh batches are being made—typically twice daily—inviting customers in for warm, delicious treats.
I prepaid for 2 dozen donuts 4 days in advance. Never received a call saying they can't complete it. I live an hour away. Drove to get them only for them to tell me the Easter dozen I bought they didn't have for me, and they didn't have the blueberry I had in the other dozen. I had a family event that day with those donuts. All the kids were so disappointed, as was I. I drove 2 hours total specifically for the Easter dozen. Instead I had to pick from the case. The filled donuts were soggy and the glazed were old and hard. I asked for someone to call me about it to discuss what we can do and they said someone will call me within 3 days. Hasn't happened. Wasted $40 and 2 hours of driving. Won't be coming back.

I ordered a dozen custom and a dozen glazed. The chocolate iced were shrunken like they didn’t proof long enough or were supposed to be mini’s or something. Sooooo disappointing! The crème filled were dry with heavy dough. Not sure what happened. I’m guessing they filled the glazed with mini’s? Instead of regular size donuts? Even with the extra smaller ones, Krispy Kreme’s should’ve attempted to connect with me. The smaller donuts weren’t enough for people to have 2, but taking 1 didn’t give them a full-size donut.

Staff was so-so. Someone was taking my order and then walked away without saying anything. Came back and said, "sorry about that". Like at least tell me you had to step away. Doughnuts were small, and I got regular size. They were cold and the selection they had was not the full menu of what is offered. Also, $20 for a dozen? The doughnuts are delicious don't get me wrong, but that seems a bit pricey.

Went early in the am thinking that I would get Fresh! Wrong! Not at all the case ..Old and Cold all of them and stale to make it worse is that the price does not meet the quality anymore .prices rise quality and service fall all across the board..smh..Idk but probably true that all Service industries are suffering from very poor quality of experience.the fill donuts was no fill in them or disappeared when microwave for 2seconds..Non of the donuts was fresh Super Hard .Cream was hard on Top! Suppose to been lemon filled but no lemon fill! Guess it's the tariffs..huh!

I placed a 0645 pickup order. I drive 20 minutes (40 both ways) to arrive and be told they won’t have the Harry Potter donuts until 0900. There should be someone who reviews these orders and lets customers know. Even if I had to turn around 10 minutes in, that would be more acceptable. To top this, I was originally told I had to choose other donuts and couldn’t “for certain” get a refund until they ran it by management and said they would refund me. A huge waste of my time.
Lisa B — Google review
They NEVER have the specialty donuts. I have order about every 4-6 months over the last 4 yrs and EVERYTIME I have had to change my mobile order because they didn’t have the donuts besides the original one available. It didn’t matter what time of day I went either! Early morning to afternoon to late evening.. And their coffee machines are always broken.. sometimes it’s the hot drinks and sometimes it’s the cold/iced drinks. I drive from 2 hours away too because of work sometimes so when I am in town I always would want to get them. And if you order in the mobile app, you can’t get your money right back, it takes days! Very frustrating and disappointing!

Young black girl with nose rings waited on us. She barely acknowledged me for starters. I got the Halloween box of 12. There was a picture of box contents on the video screen. She didnt have any more of 2 types of donuts, so she replaced them with regular donuts. When I asked her about it she said the Mgr. told her to put 4 regular donuts (supposed to only b 2 regular donuts). I asked for the Mgr. She went to the back and got the proper donuts. Then when I checked out I asked her if I could SEE what was in the box. She wouldn't show me but instead told me. I asked her again to see what was in the box. She shoved the box at me, threw up her hands and walked away. I was blown away with the lack of service I received!

I love the cake donuts. Especially at full time the pumpkin spice donuts. But when I went to the drive up window, the girl told me that they tried to order the part for the cake machine, but it was on backorder? For two years? Fire this manager Get the cake machine fixed. Grand Rapids is missing out. Plus, the location of this donut shop is horrific. On the corner of a mall on an intersection by two busy streets that will only let you out to the right. There is a Chick-fil-A next-door that is always packed and when they leave they drive like crazy and they will hit you. Not a safe location not a good manager and no cake donuts

One star only because the bread, I got the caprese half sandwich with a cup of soup. The flavor wasn’t even that great but still it wasn’t bad. The bread was the best part. $20 including tip for a half sandwich soup combo is a sham in itself. But look at what the so called sándwich they served me looked like. Flat as a pancake, with no substance at all. A tiny little tomato slice? Don’t insult me. Take it off the menu. Never again. If you’re an employee here and you’re not making at least $25/hr put your two weeks in. You can do better.

We've been there two weekends in a row for lunch because it was so good! The pizza and calzone were fantastic! My husband had two different sandwiches and liked them both (man of few words...) I will always crave that pizza dough! Down sides are most of the tables we're dirty each time, the bathroom was dirty each time, and the hightop we sat at was very wobbly and so was one of the stools so we moved once another family left. Minor infractions but it distracted from the experience. I'll definitely be back just for that pizza though!

Nothing Bundt Cakes is a popular bakery chain known for its wide variety of bundt cakes, ranging from bite-sized to tiered options. In addition to cakes, they also offer platters, candles, and cards. Customers have raved about the amazing customer service at this establishment, with heartwarming stories of going above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. From correcting orders promptly to surprising customers with complimentary treats, the staff at Nothing Bundt Cakes has left a lasting impression on many patrons.
Great cake with a homemade taste and very rich cream cheese frosting. - Dish: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake. The cake was soft and moist, but kept its form while eating it so it wasn’t a mess. The frosting is a unique design and there is plenty of it. The first bite was amazing, but by the time I was done, it did seem to be a bit rich for my taste. It is within tolerance, I think, that it is just a matter of preference. - Service: Positive, polished, and quick. The cake was packaged in a brown bag with a logo sticker. - Atmosphere: Like stepping into your mother’s kitchen but setup like a store. No seating, though. You have to take your cake elsewhere to eat it. No biggy for me. - Conclusion: If you are looking for a basic cake that most will enjoy and that has a bit of a different flare, this place is for you! I recommend it. Stopped by Saturday just before 5pm.

The Bundt cake is very moist and delicious! I am not a big fan of cream cheese frosting so I was a little disappointed that it was their only frosting but the cake is so good that you can get it without frosting and you are not missing a thing! White chocolate raspberry was recommended to us by a friend and my husband is not a white chocolate fan but he was extremely impressed after trying a sample and that is what he ordered. The chocolate chocolate chip is amazing also! Great safe location and a very cute little shop. I also thought the prices were not bad for a specialty dessert.

We stopped in after driving by. It was a great choice. They have several sizes of cakes ready to go, so I grabbed a small red velvet bundt cake ($3.99) to take out. While we were in store they had the lemon cake to sample, it was also delicious. There is no space in the store to eat the cake there, so this is strictly take out. They have a big flip page ordering guide in store, it looks like they have a decent amount of special order options. Cake was moist, tasty and the frosting was perfect. If you want a snack or a cake to take for desert, grab one here.

Over the 3-4 years have stopped off on the highway in and out of town a few times looking for ice cream or coffee. Twice it was closed but the hours said they' were open and no note as far as I could see. Once there was one only person working and a long line.

Great little place for a no frills mini golf game. They were doing maintenance as they opened and they were clearing all stones off the course so people could have a fun safe game. Very nostalgic with two of the runs still in original concrete. 3$/person was inexpensive and gave us more funds afterwards to buy an ice cream. Great place to come with friends for a good time. On weekends there are sometimes a few car enthusiasts with a pop up car show too. They have been improving the course and replacing worn faux grass. The flower containers around made it feel festive. Still a great course

Need to have a clear sign for those who want to mini golf of where to purchase..instead everything on the front of the building os ice cream related. Becuase of that you get out of line and go to the side of the building thinking there must be another window or somewhere to purchase a round of mini golf...only to find out you indeed do need to wait in the ice cream line because there is no where else to make the purchase.

I loved buying icecream cakes for every occasion at this Dairy Queen. I recently purchased two cakes and the staff gave me the wrong color and spelling. When speaking to the manager about the mistake she was very rude. She shut the window in our face and did not even offer to fix the problem. I paid full price for two cakes that were decorated wrong. Unfortunately I will NEVER purchase cakes from this location again. Thanks to bad management you lost a loyal customer.

Been coming here since I was a little kid & we are always impressed!! It DOES get busy (as it's one of the only ice cream shops still around the west side) - but that's to be expected. If anyone has an issue waiting or isn't sure which window to go to, just wait in line and walk up when they say "I can help who's next!"

You really can't beat a locally owned and operated Dairy Queen. The quality is great, and the fact that I'm seeing so many negative reviews from folks whom don't understand that it's a new season (meaning there are more than likely new teenagers working there whom are going to be performing better and better with each passing day) absolutely bums me out. The treats are still phenomenal, the staff- when treated with common decency, patience, and respect- has been great from everything that I've seen!

Great place to stop for ice cream! Friendly service and plenty of choices! Servings are large and they do not skimp on toppings. My husband got the flat tire which is chocolate ice cream, Butterfinger, hot fudge, and whip cream. He said it was very very good. I got the strawberry sundae and that was good also. We really liked that the ice cream did not melt the minute we walked out of the ice cream shop. It was 90° and we were still able to enjoy our ice cream without making a big mess.

They've got a good selection of high quality ice cream and lots of options for cones and cups to put the scoops in. Their staff is also super friendly. Surprised some of my coworkers the other day with ice cream from this place and they really liked it. Best place for ice cream in the Walker/Standale area

Loved this ice cream place! They have such a great seating area with a super cool wall painted professionally by an artist and it has sooo many cool retro and newer animated cartoon characters...when I saw Hong Kong Phooey, Grape Ape, Underdog, The Kool Aid Man and others, I knew this was a cool spot!!

Haven’t been here in a while and when we came back we had a person with a peanut and tree nut allergy with us. Unfortunately after ordering a cookie dough flurry ( with NO nuts ) he experienced an allergic reaction. Allergy folks please be safe!

Ice cream shop
Chocolate shop
Kilwins Downtown Grand Rapids is a chocolates, ice cream, and handmade sweets shop in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They have a wide variety of flavors, and the service is always kind and knowledgeable. Their products are always delicious and satisfying.
Great spot for dessert. They have tons of ice cream flavors. Service is quick but the line can get long. They have other desserts to chose from as well. It's a small shop, so there's only 3 stools to sit at

Kilwins is a must-visit for any ice cream lover! They have some of the best quality ice cream around — my personal favorites are Toasted Marshmallow, Cake Batter, and Butter Pecan. The flavors are rich, creamy, and always satisfying.Don’t miss their freshly made waffle cones either — they add the perfect crunch to any scoop.The flavors are rich, creamy, and always satisfying. But what really stands out are their chocolate-covered strawberries — they’re super fresh, incredibly tasty, and absolutely worth trying.All in all, a delightful treat spot with something for everyone!

The chocolate turtles and chocolate tastes ok. There isn't anything memorable or special about it. It is very basic and not skillfully made. Staff was cool. Prices are a little high for what you are getting. It's in a very convenient location, so it will probably be there for a while.

We stopped in while in GR with our family for a regatta. The entire staff was so super friendly and helpful. We found some amazing treats in the shop that helped to start our weekend trip off right. Every single employee we encountered was amazing. Worth a stop to look around. The chocolates, fudge and ice cream were delicious.

The working their names Joey Lukezich was an amazing help to me and my family he helps us through all the flavors and his smiling face really made us feel welcome we will definately be back just because of his customer service.

Such a “sweet” place! The Manager and crew truly love their shop, their sweets, and their city. We had a really great time eating some ice cream and visiting with them. You honestly can’t got wrong with any of the in house made fudge, but if you’re undecided, they’ll let you sample. Absolutely a must visit if you’re anywhere near Grand Rapids!

Dessert restaurant
Los 3 Mangos Michoacan is a dessert restaurant with an extensive selection of fresh fruit popsicles and ice cream. The atmosphere is vibrant and colorful, making it an enjoyable place to spend a summer afternoon.
It was my first time going and I was very satisfied.
Alacondria M — Google review
Service takes about 10-30 minutes for service. The snacks are great but the employees could have a better attitude. They take their sweet time per order. People are spending anywhere from 25-50 dollars with their families and don’t make it an experience to remember. Instead they made me not want to go again. Please get 3-4 people behind that counter and have some eagerness. Take care of those who take care of you guys.
Jose D — Google review
Whenever I go to this place, the people who serve are of bad attitude, the food is always given to me burned and really bad service , when one is paying for the product that is being consumed, and I cannot claim because they do it worse, very bad experience that I have had there with those people, please do not go to places like this...
Andress S — Google review
When you're craving a meal, a spicy treat or a dessert, Los 3 Mangos de Michoacán has something for everyone! The torta de Pierna is really good. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The flautas de pollo have a spicy green salsa. Our family also enjoyed Crepes filled with Nutella and strawberries and ice cream of course. The service was fast and courteous. I only wish that they keep the tables clean as well as the windows and doors. Give them a try!
Paola M — Google review
Yes they are popular. They have a good menu and a good selection, but however tonight I went in and didn’t have a good experience. Price menus are misleading and when asked they definitely are very rude about it. I will be taking my business to las rocas which is right across of division. Not the first time this had happened. I did other a raspado and on the sign it states $3.50 I was charged $4.95.

Hello, I recently visited your restaurant and wanted to share some feedback about the TV ads that were playing while I was there. The ads showed images of sick children and were quite long and emotionally intense. Unfortunately, this made me feel very uncomfortable and distracted from enjoying my meal. I understand the importance of charity awareness, but I wanted to kindly suggest considering the impact such ads can have on customers, especially in a dining environment where people expect a relaxing experience. Thank you for listening, and I hope this feedback is helpful. Best regards, Eliana
Eli N — Google review
The food here is amazing! I especially recommend the torta de asada…it’s crispy, savory and the salsa verde on top? Perfection. The service is impeccable, quick and easy. However, the atmosphere while dining in is more of a “depends on the day” situation. There’s no internet inside (at least if you have T-mobile or Boost Mobile). All in all, I give it 4 stars.

The food did not have good flavor. The meat was not fresh. Good idea bad execution. Went two different times and the elotes lacked flavor, the burrito was mostly lettuce and little meat. Go somewhere else.
