2/6/2019 Update: Alexandra reached out to me and we have worked together to ensure steps have been taken so that anyone, regardless of disability, can now access their location. The fault is with Hamtramck building code enforcement, which could be opening several Hamtramck businesses to lawsuits by not informing or enforcing federal ADA laws.
Original review: My wife and I love Bon Bon Bon and have been stopping in since their days when they were just a tiny shop in Hamtramck. We love all their chocolates and it makes for a great gift.
Unfortunately, this new location in Hamtramck was a huge disappointment. It's such a simple retail front that they clearly put a lot of time and money into, but they did everything without regard to wheelchair accessiblity.
Their front door has a step even though there's massive space for a ramp entry, so if my wife (who uses a wheelchair) didn't have me with her, there would be no way for her to enter or exit the building safely.
All of their countertops are far above the ADA height for counters, which is 28-34". The staff was pleasant and apologetic, but it meant I had to take all the name placards for the bon bons down do my wife could see what she was buying.
All in all, this seems like just typical lack of inclusion from the "new Detroit" businesses combined with a lack of code enforcement from the city of Hamtramck. I hope to see this improved or fixed in the future when I can someday rewrite...

The creative geniuses at Bon Bon Bon make this an art. Making delicious and often unique little rectangles of pure, bite-sized bliss. Not only can you find the fun "regular" varieties you'd expect, Bon³ makes a wide selection that would make any "foodie" proud.
....and they even make fun stuff that incorporates the community: a paczki bonbon? Hamtramck donuts done right - that you've got to try it to believe. Bumpy bonbon? Taking a page from Detroit's own Sanders' famed Bumpy Cake. Bon Bon Bon is uniquely Hamtramck and just the best chocolate you'll ever have.
Run - don't walk to Bon Bon Bon in Hamtramck. They're open 6 days a week now - you have no excuse!

Read moreMy husband and I wanted a fun alternative to a wedding cake for our wedding earlier this year, so decided to serve our guests treats from Bon Bon Bon instead and are so glad we did. We contacted their team a few months ahead of our wedding date and had a great time tasting a ton of their recipes before making our final choices. At that point, one of our selections was no longer in rotation, but the amazing team went ahead and made it for us anyway. The bons were a big hit with all of our wedding guests, and their packaging was super fun too. And we were especially glad we ordered extra so we could enjoy them for weeks after...
