My Experience

What a special treat of treasures this place is! It was so much fun seeing all the trinkets and sweets. Everywhere I looked there was more to see. I found things that I didn't realize that I had passed by and had to circle back.

I couldn't resist and had to try the S'more Bite. The inside was smooth and creamy. Not too firm and not runny at all. It captured the marshmallow flavor perfectly, delivering that s'more taste. There was no over power of sweet and the chocolate was melt in your mouth.

If you love buttercream then you'll love these specialty cookies. The thickness of the buttercream of the Neapolitan matched the thickness of the cookie. Each color had a pinch of flavor. So, when taking a bite, the flavors flowed together and don't have a weird mix. The cookie itself was delightfully soft with no dryness at all. Of course, I grabbed the smiley face cookie. It wasn't as soft of the Neapolitan cookie but it gave a good snap! during the cookie break. If your into the more firm cookies, that one is a good one for you.

It was a great visit and the staff was super friendly. There was no seating inside but plenty outdoors. The only down fall is that there are no bathrooms. It can be a bummer to leave a place earlier than expected because the little one decided that he's suddenly busting. If no bathroom usage is an issue for you, be sure to plan accordingly.

I had a great visit! They change things up frequently, so it's absolutely a spot you should check out to discover what's new!
