5 of the Best Places to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth in the Lansing Area

Micalah Brundage

1. Finley's

Oddly enough, Finley's Grill and Steakhouse in Lansing has one of my FAVORITE desserts on their menu. Although it may not be a common dessert hotspot like the rest on this list, it is definitely a must try. My go to is their Chocolate Volcano Sundae. A giant cocktail glass filled to the brim with chocolate cake, vanilla and chocolate ice cream, caramel sauce, hot fudge, area chunks, and whipped cream. It may take up all your calories for the day, but boy is it worth it.

2. Menchies

The increasingly popular frozen yogurt joint is a classic of mine. Anytime I catch a movie at NCG in Eastwood, I try to plan in a pit stop at Menchies. Their self-serve topping selections are pretty good (not as great as the later mentioned Sugar Berry IMO), but their froyo flavors and selections are really what draws me in time and time again. You really can't lose with a good froyo place.

3. Unicha

Unicha Tea & Ice Cream definitely is popular around Michigan State's campus and is certainly unique. This is the selection on this list that is definitely if you're feeling boujee. A bit more on the expensive side you're definitely paying for the experience at this hotspot. Watching your ice cream creations contents freeze on a frozen slab, and then be hand rolled into a beautiful presentation for you to devour, is definitely awesome to see and tastes good too. It's a win, win.

4. Sugar Berry

Another one of my favorite froyo places with multiple locations in the area, Sugar Berry is one I consider to be an OG. The topping selection is where Sugar Berry really wins over my heart here, and I can just never get over their giant balls of cookie dough. What feels like never ending selections of M&M's and candy bars, it certainly is a froyo fanatics happy place.

5. Culver's

Best. Custard. Ever. End of story. However, if you're looking for a recommendation, their concrete mixers are always a hit and never a miss, as you pick your favorite toppings to mix in with your favorite flavor of custard. Not to mention they have a "flavor of the day" every day, which keeps things exciting.

Happy eating! Cheers to ice cream and all things sweet!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
