Sweet Shannon's Kalkaska, MI

 

      Located in downtown Kalkaska Cedar Street on the west side of the street between Moose and Stellas and McLeans Hardware.  I am familiar with this business due to my friendship with Shannon and her husband Chris.  From all the positive vibes I have gotten from former students and friends, I am compelled to sample the wares.    

    This is a sweet shop with emphasis on vintage candies and products, but not to overlook Shannon's penchant for famous home baked deliciousness.  




      She also offers an array of sweet baked goods, including a recently introduced ice cream parlor.  They serve both soft serve and scooped ice cream in a variety of dishes.  During the warm months of summer, including Trout Festival and the County Fair this place is plenty busy.  She does offer more eclectic selections as well.  There are several rooms of arts, crafts, and other wares.  



      On our visit I was already hooked by her recent post about the Banana Lovers Sundae.  I know Barb is a huge fan of banana.  Oh my God, banana pudding ice cream, bananas, hot fudge, pecans, chocolate chip banana bread, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and cherry!  My brain was already in near comatose mode prior to arrival.  



      We thoroughly loved the sundaes.  I did find the banana bread to have a different taste due to the chocolate baked in, but it was tasty with the combination of ingredients.  Barb had a bowl of banana pudding ice cream.  Our cost for the two treats was $10.20. They are open Tuesday-Saturday noon till 7 p.m.  An oasis for those with a sweet tooth or during hot weather, well worth a stop to enjoy.
