I ordered my daughter's birthday cake from Cake Junkie and realized I never shared our experience!…read moreThe bakery is really cute, with a nice setup and a huge selection of cakes and other sweet treats. I placed my order over the phone, followed up through email, and the entire process was pretty easy. I will admit I was a little nervous there was a slight delay in email response time. But the cake was ready at the agreed upon time and turned out great, and overall, I had no complaints. I did think it was a little expensive, but honestly, what isn't these days? I would definitely consider ordering from them again for another special occasion.

That's why I haven't been here in a while. This place has out-priced everyone's! The bakery down…read morethe street is more price effective. I got 6 cupcakes for $15. The service is okay. I don't know how this place stays in business. Nice cupcake spot but too expensive!

You will never get flavors like the ones he creates. He previews the flavors at the quaint local farmer's market in Bowie and you can look up his business on Facebook to get the ice cream flavors ahead of time. Come and try the flavors because he will give you a spoonful of a sample. It is totally worth the $8.00. I know this week, I will be buying every flavor. I can't help it. My family is totally addicted. My daughter from college even calls or texts me her order so that I can pick it up. It disappears fast in my freezer. Eric, the owner & creator of Edesia's ice cream is a great guy and he is super friendly & nice; he uses no freaky additives or preservatives. It's sooo good because it's all natural. GO early, before I buy out all the flavors of the week! Really.

I don't think Eric still makes his ice cream to sell at Bowie's Farmers Market but I wish he did…read more It was so creative and fantastic. Plus our dog loved his homemade dog treats. Edesia's Ice Cream is missed.

Overall, it is reasonably priced, and excellent service One distraction was the ants on the service counter.

This Rita's is a small joint right by a handful of other restaurants. It seems to be in a quieter area and we had no trouble finding parking on a weekend afternoon. Service was fast and efficient (and also helpful when I was debating on what to get). What we got: Mango-Peach Misto Shake (vanilla custard) - 5* smooth and refreshing. A great sweet treat and I'd get this flavor again. I loved having the custard mixed into the Italian ice, I think it really enhanced the texture and would rather have the custard mixed in than separate. (See below) Strawberry Lemonade Gelati - 4* instead of having the custard mixed into the Italian ice (like the Misto) you have custard on the bottom, Italian ice in the middle, and custard on the top. The strawberry-lemonade is a 5* flavor. And on its own the vanilla custard is a 3*. The custard is very creamy, smooth, and slightly fluffy. Almost reminiscent of cool whip. While it tastes alright mixed with the Italian ice I don't think I'm a big fan of it on its own.

I always order a pasta dish and have tried a couple. The servings are plentiful so there's always some to take home for lunch or dinner the next day. The restaurant is lively and full of patrons on the weekends and also has a lot of regulars. It's easy to understand why locals continue to frequent Nonna Angela's. I'll challenge myself the next visit to try an entree that is not pasta centered. It will be hard but I'm curious.

My wife and I returned to Nonna Angela's to celebrate our 8th Anniversary with an early dinner. We…read morearrived before 6pm and were promptly seated in a booth. Our waitress, Caroline introduced herself and took our drink order. We both ordered Prosecco while we mulled over our Appetizer and Entrees. For the appetizer, we ordered the Mozzarella Caprese. In the meantime, dinner rolls and a shallow bowl with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and waters were provided. While we enjoyed the appetizer, my wife ordered a glass of Chardonnay and I ordered a glass of Merlot. The dinner rolls were warm and delicious and we took turns dipping in the EVOO. For our entrees, my wife ordered the Crab Ravioli in a cream sauce and I ordered the Tortellini al Pesto. As it was a midweek night, there was a live musician at the rear of the restaurant playing 70's and 80's hits on his guitar and singing, occasionally also playing a harmonica. We sipped wine, enjoyed the music and soon our entrees arrived. Both were very tasty and more than either of us could finish. My wife ordered a second glass of white wine and I held back as the designated driver. For dessert, we shared a Cannoli, the perfect sweet treat. Caroline brought us takeout containers and wished us Happy Anniversary! Thank you Nonna Angela's for making our evening special!

Continuing my America 250 series, representing a 1940's established business is Dairy Queen. They…read morestarted in Illinois in 1940, and I remember loving the chicken tenders when I was a kid living in Texas in the 90's. Although my tastes have changed in the past 30 years from simply chicken tenders, pizza, etc. of what I liked then greatly expanding to much more, I still like the DQ chicken tender basket. Odenton DQ is the closest to my home and have been a few times. When I go, the catalyst is either a deal, using reward program points, and/or not letting points expire. While I'm not going as far as 5-stars like I gave Raising Cane's in Gambrills & Columbia. Raising Cane's chicken tenders are my favorite, but Dairy Queen is still solid. Raising Cane's doesn't give you gravy though, which DQ does. I like dipping the fries as well as the chicken tenders in the gravy. When I was a kid, I used to try to get gravy to dip my fries in at other places that had gravy, but nowadays really only Dairy Queen is the only place I can think of that I do that as the chicken tender basket comes with gravy by default. In addition to 4 or 6 chicken tenders & fries, the basket also comes with Texas Toast, which is good, but I'll admit I love the Raising Cane's Texas Toast more. When people think of Dairy Queen, the first thing that comes to mind is not the chicken strip basket like me, but they think of the various ice cream products such as the Blizzard. Those Blizzards and other various ice cream products are great too. My girlfriend & I have split a couple of Blizzards. One time I was by myself, got the chicken strip basket and a small Blizzard. I felt bloated after the "small" Blizzard, but it was delicious. I should've gotten the kid size Blizzard, but it was only an 80 cent price differential. I got their burger a couple of times, and it's surprisingly good and big too, almost the size of a hubcap, which foreshadows a future Yelp review in Arkansas on my state series I'll be doing after the 20th century businesses. One of the times, I had a Blizzard or split with my girlfriend in addition to this big burger, and I felt bloated, but it was worth it. Staff at Odenton DQ is pretty efficient and generally cordial, although one time, I felt they were kind of rude. Maybe an off day, but on average they've been good. Seating is limited inside, but there are maybe 4 booths. There are more outside seating both in the shade & sun. In summary, great food including ice cream.
