I have to say, I was sad to see Saugatuck Sweets leave this location, and mourn that my kids will never know the wonder that was Chocolate Cherry Avalanche.. š
But that being said, this is a PHENOMENAL artisanal ice cream addition to Saugatuck, and on par with some of the best craft ice cream establishments in the Tristate area (The Bent Spoon in Princeton, Arethusa in Bantam, Dr. Mikes in Bethel, etc)
The negative reviews I see for this place really donāt make sense to me. This is REAL ice cream, made with clean ingredients.
The chocolate-based flavors are particularly creamy and decadently rich. The chocolate-hazelnut I tried to today had big chunks of toasted hazelnuts, and the chocolate raspberry brownie had fresh raspberries in it.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreMOMU Ice Cream, located in the former Saugatuck Sweets location, brings a unique, fresh, and fragrant take on ice cream and sorbet. ALL of the flavors are made on site, including their amazing, warm, prepared to order waffle cones. The pricing is a bit high in comparison to other places nearby but so is the quality, atmosphere and customer service. Locals and tourists alike need to check out this waterfront treatery to experience it for themselves. My personal favorites are the cookie dough and the mint chip, which is made with fresh mint so it packs a slightly stronger punch than usual. MOMU is another wonderful addition to the...
