Boule Artisan Bakery - Downtown Plymouth MI

I have been stopping by Boule in Plymouth weekly for the last few years. I can't recommend this bakery enough. The fresh baked loaves in the front window only gives you a small taste of what they have to offer.


On a daily basis there is roughly a dozen different varieties of bread to choose from. They have the best baguette in the area. The crusty outside is perfect and the inside is tender. You are not going to find a loaf this good at the local high-end grocery store. Another favorite of mine is the Honey Lover's Wheat. It is wonderful for toasting or making a simple turkey sandwich.

I suppose that I should also mention that the price of their bread is reasonable. It is about the same as what you would pay for a loaf of "Aunt Millie's" and about half of what you would pay at a certain bakery in Ann Arbor.

Boule also bakes amazing cookies, croissant and scones. My personal favorite is the lemon ginger scone. It is just sweet enough. The crystallized ginger cuts through the buttery scone in a way that is delightful. These scones are flaky and flavorful. They are not like the usual dense and dry scones that are offered around town.

The bakery is family owned and is truly a part of the community. The owners and staff are friendly and seem to know everyone that walks through the door.


I will offer one piece of advice. You must order ahead of time during the holidays. Boule is so busy during Thanksgiving and Christmas that they only bake special orders.

If you are looking for something to go with your breakfast coffee this weekend, swing by Boule. You won't be disappointed.

Neehee's Indian Vegetarian Street Food - Canton MI

NOTE: 8/12/2012- Neehee's is currently closed for remodeling.


Canton is made up of a fairly diverse population and that diversity has paid off once again. There are some really excellent Asian restaurants in the area and Neehee's is a member of that list. I have been a fan of Indian food for a long time so when I saw a place serving vegetarian street food had opened I was beyond excited. I wasn't sure what to expect so I talked to some folks and checked out Neehee's website.

Neehee's is counter service restaurant who's menu is made up of mainly small plates. It is not what you would expect to find in the average Indian restaurant. I went with a friend and we decided to share a few different things to get a good feel for the menu. We ordered Aloo Tikki (Pan fried potato patties with yogurt: pictured), a Samosa Pav (samosa sandwich: pictured) and a plain Dosa (crispy crepe). I have to say that the Aloo Tikki was excellent. The combination of soft patties with the fresh red onions was delicious. There was a good amount of heat so the yogurt was very refreshing. If you go to Neehee's make sure to order this dish. I believe is #12 on the menu. The other items were equally as enjoyable. Most offerings range from $3 to $8 so it is affordable to try a few items at a time.

I highly recommend that you try Neehee's when you are in the area. Even if you aren't it is worth the trip. Before my first time eating here a friend offered me some advice and I will share this with you.

•  The Menu is huge and can be overwhelming. Either look at it online before you go or sit down with a menu before ordering at the counter.

• Keep in mind that if you decide to order take out that the Dosas don't travel that well. Everything else holds up fine.

• The food is spicy. Not insanely spicy but probably equivalent to medium level.

• As with most Indian restaurants Neehee's is closed on Tuesdays.

One last thing...I have yet to try the Ice Cream but I have heard that it is fantastic. Now that spring is here I will have to swing by for a scoop.
