If you are anything like me, you can’t control when the cravings for sweets hit. My tastebuds get antsy like “Hey! Give us some sugar so we can party.” Or maybe it’s that little guy on your shoulder saying “It’s okay! Just one won’t hurt.” Well, that’s exactly what happened when I was driving through Milan one day & stumbled upon this unbelievable bakery & cafe. No, not Milan, Italy. It’s a Michigan bakery! It’s called Life is Sweet and let me tell you, it’s not only adorable, it’s delicious.

What I Typically Order

I’ve been a bunch of times now and I usually get the pressed Caprese sandwich. It’s on focaccia bread with mozzarella, basil, tomatoes, and a balsamic glaze. It’s really fantastic. For a drink, I usually get their Chai Tea Latte. And for the best part, dessert, I usually order the berry crème brûlée.

Life is Sweet Top Selling Food Items
