We love to visit Kilwin’s on any tour, and it’s a stop on the Chocolate Heaven etour on our app. A locally-owned franchise, and the first Kilwin’s franchise anywhere, this store has been owned by a mother and daughter team for over 30 years. Kilwin’s is a candy-and-ice cream-lover’s paradise. Try their soft and gooey […]
One of our favorite tour stops is Fustini’s, an artisanal olive oil and vinegar tasting room, modeled after stores in Europe the owners saw when traveling, and a dream they have to nourish “the foodie inside everyone.” Their products are imported from small-batch growers around the world when those products are in season, so everything […]

I’ve developed some food sensitivities in the last few years that have turned me into a mostly gluten and dairy-free foodie. It’s been hard, but I’m lucky that all that happens is that I itch. My throat doesn’t close up, my eyes don’t swell shut and my gut doesn’t freak out. In the last couple […]
Ann Arbor is truly a chocolate paradise, and chocolate is everywhere! So, if you love chocolate, just look or ask for it because it will be there! Here’s a tour of some of my favorite stops. It is by no means the most comprehensive list, just a manageable two-ish hour strolling tour of some of […]
We’re lucky to have (at least) five local candy makers in the area, like Mindo Chocolate Makers, whose bean-to-bar chocolate is made with heirloom beans from farmers they actually know in Ecuador. The folks at Mindo will nurture your chocolateness from all angles. You can enjoy their already-made, luscious chocolate in a variety of forms. Or […]
