“In search of exceptional gelato, I specifically journeyed to Union Pier, which housed the closest gelateria, making it an ideal destination for my craving. This charming little shop, nestled in the heart of Union Pier, turned out to be the perfect spot for a delightful affogato pit stop.

Upon entering the gelato shop, I was immediately struck by the enticing array of flavors, each thoughtfully curated and beautifully presented. The employee on duty was incredibly helpful, offering recommendations that showcased their knowledge and passion for gelato. Their friendly guidance was immensely appreciated, making the visit even more special.

The highlight of the visit was the kalua tiramisu gelato, an insanely delicious choice that captured the essence of traditional tiramisu with a delightful kalua twist. Opting to pair this rich, decadent gelato with a freshly brewed espresso, I indulged in an affogato. The combination was heavenly—the warm, robust espresso perfectly complemented the creamy, flavorful gelato, creating a luxurious dessert experience.

The shop itself was very cute, with a cozy ambiance that made it a lovely place to relax and enjoy my gelato. The quaint decor and inviting atmosphere added to the charm of the visit, making it a memorable part of my special trip to Union Pier.”

“AMAZING food! Came for dinner with two friends on a girls’ trip. We all got something different and shared. Everything was amazing!!! Our meal was a great experience for the taste buds! No complaints!”

“I've noticed their wine has definitely gone down in quality. The Demi-Red is completely watered down. When I first started buying it... you couldn't see thru it. And I've been buying it for years. You can get it cheaper elsewhere than the actual winery. It's sold almost everywhere now... including gas stations. But the fact that it's watered down to the point you can see thru it & that affects the taste, I won't be buying it anymore. The white Demi seems somewhat ok. But... if they'll water down the red, they'll water down all the others. I'm gonna have to find a new favorite wine... most likely ~ Elsewhere.”

“One of the best restaurants in SW MI area! The food is amazing and service is impeccable. We've eaten here for date night, family gatherings, and girls night out. Each time everyone leaves happy and full. Their season/special options are tasty, but their bolognese keeps me coming back for more! Also, one of the best dirty martinis I've ever had!”

Burgers and cheese steak sandwiches are delicious….and the fries are crisp. Wonderful relaxing atmosphere, reminiscent of the great bars in the Wisconsin Northwoods.”

“I was happy to find a “regular” place in New Buffalo. I get that this area receives a lot of vacationers but it is nice to find a place that makes great food and an easy way to hang with family. Breakfast served all day which is wonderful. I want to come back for the Benedict’s! I did have tacos today and they were great. Nice pieces meat and chucks of pineapple. (Al pastor taco btw). The chips were hot and fresh which was much appreciated. Service was great. Definitely will make this an easy accessible place when I’m in the area.”

“Most beautiful cafe and bakery with the friendliest welcome. Was so lovely to meet you Vivian, thank you for letting us try the delightful Cannoli too. I had oatmeal with dried cherry’s and the Swedish pancakes were a hit and the carrot cake waffle ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Loved our food at Jovani’s Kitchen. It takes passion and dedication to produce a product from scratch. Great Job!”

“Great place for meeting up with friends and enjoying wine time. The food is good… we ordered two flatbreads and both were good (Thai chili & jerk chicken). The burger was cool. However. We didn’t really care for the short rib sandwich.
The menu is small but I love that they use all types of flavors. The atmosphere is beautiful with nice views and they have outdoor pods you can rent for your group. Check it out! Nice spot :)”

“The best chicken parm I’ve ever had!!!!!!!!”

“What else can I say but Amazing”

“If you’re looking for quick, affordable but delicious takeout this is the spot!

Particularly loved their spicy pork and spicy chicken in burrito or quesadilla form.

Rice and beans were fine but not why you come.

Salsas were good - medium had a nice little kick”

“This was our first visit to the Staymaker, which is the restaurant within the Journeyman Distillery. We are visiting from Chicago and this was recommended and we were not disappointed! Everything was really excellent! From our charming and attentive server Hailey, to the amazing smoked trout spread app to the Trout entree and the brisket meatloaf. It was all so delicious! We will be back!”
