Definitely seconding the Shatila ice cream. The coconut ice cream is the best ice cream on the planet!

Also, any of the Combo Vermicelli dishes from Thang Long on John R. in Madison Heights. Especially the grilled ground shrimp. Amazing!

Smoked and fresh kielbasa from European Sausage on Michigan west of Lonyo. Smoked in house for the past 90 years.

Labne from the Green Cedar dairy in Dearborn. Labne is most like a cross between sour cream and cream cheese. You can find it at most Arabic food stores, costs about $2 for a 16 oz container. It's great on sandwiches, perfect on a torn piece of pita bread, is killer on French toast with lemon or brown sugar.

Coney from Lafayette Coney Island
Chicken sub from Ram's Horn

Also good stuff. I like to mix it with honey and use it as a fruit dip. I just made some homemade labne and it is great.

Off the top of my head -

Greta's Ginger Juice - I buy it at Western Market in Ferndale - it's blended with pineapple and it's so good.

Nikki's Ginger Tea & Sorrel- I get them both at Goodwell's in midtown and also at Eastern Market. I also really love their vegetarian chili.

Those raisin donuts at Dutch Girl are to DIE for.

Avalon Bakery chocolate chip/chunk sea salt cookies !

ANYTHING from Sweet Potato Sensations bakery - Lahser & Grand River Ave - lemon chess pie, sweet potato pie, pecan pie - they even have a sugar free sweet potato pie that is yummy. Oh, and sweet potato cookies which are kind of bland but in a really good way.

Vegan Reuben from Sprout House in Grosse Pointe Park

Panda baked tofu - made in Royal Oak - I usually buy it from Goodwell's - the spicy version is my favorite.

Spring Rolls from Bangkok Cuisine in Eastpointe on Gratiot - best I've ever had anywhere, really light & crisp

Torta from Los Galanes in Mexicantown - I am vegan 99.9% of the time but I make an occasional exception for one for one of these sandwiches [[it has chicken on it)

Okay - this last item isn't from Detroit - it is from Toledo but I'm including it because I go to this place once a month or so and if I moved away, I'd really miss it - festival from Dexter's Jamaican restaurant. Festival is basically a fried cornmeal dumpling. Little puffs of heaven!

Yes, Labne is great. Will have to try it on french toast...

When I travel outside of Detroit/michigan, I really miss the availability and access to Canadian beers. I know if you look hard enough you can get either nationwide but walk into any bar, venue, store, or restraunt in Detroit and they have it, usually at a close to domestic price too.
