Bellflower serves a locally sourced dinner menu in a cozy, romantic setting, with patio seating and vegan and vegetarian options. C.King & Co. Cafe offers another dinner choice: thin-crust, hand-tossed pizzas, charcuterie boards, and small plates, with a fireplace and outdoor seating among its features. Both accept reservations; Bellflower recommends them for dinner.
For the cocktail stop, choose among three distinct settings. Ziggy's combines a bar, coffee house, and music venue with regular performances spanning jazz, indie rock, hip-hop, and electronic music. WaxBar pairs tropical drinks with new and used LPs and 45s. Ypsi Cocktail Club brings cocktails, happy-hour drinks, and table service to a cozy, romantic bar.
Finish with a takeout stop at Candy Coated Creamery, whose offerings center on ice cream and cheesecake. On Fridays, Bellflower serves dinner from 5 to 10 p.m., and the creamery stays open until 10 p.m. Keep the daytime options separate: Bomber Restaurant serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch, while Beara Bakes offers breakfast, coffee, and takeout; both close at 2 p.m. on their listed open days.
