The Spirit of Kalamazoo is essentially a gift shop on the Kalamazoo Mall. They have inspiring ice creams, and we love to sit outside or at their backroom tables to talk for a while and enjoy them. Simple but nice.

Nice little gift shop that serves Plainwell Ice Cream! My husband and I came here and the staff was extremely friendly. We got some ice cream and sat at the counter, looked around a bit, and left. Very clean and organized but also homey with all the local art and photos.

Great energy here! Lots of memorabilia, both old and new. Great selection of Kalamazoo / Michigan T-shirts and other souvenirs. Oh, ice cream, too!
