Cherri’s Monster Lineup is Pretty Sweet
While some may wait for the first pumpkin spice latte, we prefer Monster Shakes each September to kick off our favorite fall activities.
When an artist’s chosen medium is chocolate, the result is not only a sight to behold, but also delicious.
Cherri Emery, the artist turned chocolatier, is the mastermind behind Cherri’s Chocol’art on the Kalamazoo Mall. For over a decade, she’s been creating magnificent chocolate creations.
This fall’s lineup of delights is no exception.
Our monster start to fall kicks off with these delicious treats, plus gourmet hot chocolate, yummy lattes and drink flights.
BONUS: Chocolate classes are planned for December!

What is a “Monster” Shake?
These over-the-top food creations from Cherri’s shop are like no milkshake you’ve ever had.
Often including full-sized brownies, cookies, or slices of pie, these gigantic desserts include embellishments you won’t find elsewhere- many of which are made from scratch in their shop!
Monster Shakes are available year-round, with flavors rotating seasonally using Lafayette Creamery’s ice cream.
The shakes are $13.25. For an additional $2, you can split the treat for two (and ensure extra toppings and equal ice cream).
Where is Cherri’s Chocol’art?
Cherri’s Chocol’art is located downtown at 101 S Kalamazoo Mall, kitty-corner from the Radisson and near Rocket Fizz.
