#45 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more Another solid coffee shop with speciality lattes and traditional drinks. I originally saw this place on TikTok and wanted to try their biscoff latte. It was so good! Very creamy and cookie butter forward. It is a family run business/ small business which I love! Lots of seating inside. A good place to study, work, or chat with friends. It is inside a local plaza so there's plenty of parking as well.

I picked a beautiful and delicious birthday cake from Sweets on Main last week! I met the…read morewonderfully friendly owner of this gem of a bakery, and I can not wait to return.

I decided on ordering my birthday cake from here after seeing 7 out of 7 five star reviews here…read more The other reviews do not disappoint! The cake was AMAZING. I ordered an 8" vanilla cake with American buttercream and cannoli filling. I then requested the top to be filled with pastel tones of flowers. On the day of pickup (yesterday), the cake was ready and exactly as requested. Granted, the cake was a bit pricey, but then again, I also did not inquire the price prior to ordering. The quality is there, so in the end, the price didn't really matter. Also, the cake seemed huge for 8 inches! Those working (I'm assuming one was the owner as she was there both times I came in) were super friendly and welcoming. I would totally recommend this adorable bake shop to anyone looking to have something made for a great occasion, clearly with love and quality ingredients.

They also a small variety of baked goods, to include muffins, scones, etc., as well as pasta salad, chicken salad, fruit cups, and pre-made wraps. I like their blueberry muffins, and usually order one warmed up with butter. The inside has a good amount of seating, with some "community tables" near the front and more comfortable seating toward the middle/back. There are also a couple small tables outside on the front sidewalk, and a couple out on the back patio. This is a great place to meet up for coffee with a friend or bring a laptop and get some work done. The staff are always friendly and the service is quick. I would recommend stopping by!

I also tried the prosciutto panini, which was really good, but only qualm is that there is a lot of arugula on it, so if you're an arugula lover, this is definitely the sandwich for you lol. All of the girls working were incredibly knowledgeable about everything they were selling. I really appreciated that they bring your food right to your table too. Overall, such a great experience and definitely a bakery I'd come back to :)

This was our first time and we were really excited by all of the flavors listed on the website. We assumed going in that they wouldn't have every flavor available but were pleasantly surprised but the amount that they had. All 5 of us were very pleased with how smooth and creamy the ice cream was. We had coffee Oreo (big big hit!), chocolate peanut butter brownie (so good), chocolate chip cookie dough (good but nothing special) and cake batter (also good but nothing special). We'd definitely come back again next time we're in town!

The shop is really bright and welcoming, and smells great. I went to the bakery area where I was quickly greeted. I spent a bit of time looking through all their options but immediately opted for the strawberry cheese cake and lemon drop cupcakes. As soon as I stated this I noticed their dipped cupcakes which looked great, I guess something I'll have to come back for. I was quickly given my cupcakes and my total was about $7. Both cupcakes were delicious. I could taste all the flavors and would happily eat both again. Given how close I live, it's a bit dangerous to be so conveniently located. I'll definitely be back

Friendly helpful staff happy to help you make the best choice based on your preferences and tastes…read more A really great team working tirelessly to provide the most exceptional gourmet apples. They are the highest quality in both the crunchy, bright, sweet, big apples and their rich, thick, buttery caramel & fudgey, glossy, luscious, chocolate. The menu changes often as well as seasonally. The combinations of flavors are thoughtful and creative like Dubai chocolate, butter crunch, white chocolate apple pie, coconut snowball, and peanut butter dream. The combinations are practically endless. They ship in store as well as on their website so it makes it very easy to send as gifts! The website is easy to navigate. The new location offers ample parking.

They had a corn maze, pumpkins, apple orchards, and a variety of animals! I didn't do the corn maze but I enjoyed seeing the goats, pig, chickens, turkey, and even a yak. They had no issues with you feeding the animals and sold some food for a quarter. I was initially disappointed that all the apples were gone because the trees in the front were completely bare but once we got a bag and saw the map, I saw that the land was quite spacious with every variety of apple you could think of. The front rows had been picked clean but there were plenty to choose from in the back. They charged by the pound. For a few apples, we paid about $6. They had a ton of apple pies and some flavors I had never heard of before like apple caramel walnut. Had such a good time.
