Each year, February 5 brings World Nutella Day, but the celebration of all things Nutella continues year-round in Grand Rapids!

People have a passion for Nutella. Some have too much passion. This was on display in France last year as the country's passion for Nutella led to "riots" and a government investigation after stores discounted the hazelnut cocoa spread by 70 percent. BBC reports:

Police were called when people began fighting and pushing one another.


Two years ago, in Germany, 22 tons of chocolate and Nutella were stolen.

Let's try to keep things civil as we celebrate in West Michigan. Luckily, Grand Rapids offers many places to get your Nutella fix.




  • The Salted Cupcake at 2481 32nd St. SE has a Nutella Cookie Butter cupcake. It has "brown sugar cake filled with Nutella fudge sauce, topped with cookie butter and Nutella buttercreams and an oatmeal cookie sandwich."


  • PJ's Pizza at 3826 52nd St. in Kentwood offers Nutella Poppers, deep-fried golden brown pastries filled with Nutella and dusted with powdered sugar. They serve it with a two-ounce cup of Nutella for dipping. They also offer Nutella Knots which feature Nutella twisted into their knotty bread.


You can also find some places around West Michigan with Nutella shakes.

Still not enough Nutella? Take a road trip to Chicago to check out the Nutella cafe that opened two years ago. It's the first of its kind in the country.
