Chocolates & other goodies…read more Having the opportunity to spend a week in Carlisle, I do what I tend to do in such circumstances: explore the area to find things I enjoy to make the stay a little bit better. I had driven past this shop twice, and finally had some extra time to get in there while it was open, and I'm glad I did. The shop is very European-ish in appearance; perfectly arranged rows of chocolates of every type. Teas, gelatos, coffees and other goods round out the offerings. I had my mind set on chocolates, and did a little browsing to get an idea of what was what. The young guy working there was in training and was pretty nervous. Rebecca, who had been busy with something else, came to the rescue. She was just wonderful; knew the products inside and out, and explained the different types of chocolates and how they were priced. I was able to make a decent selection of truffles and Rebecca hand wrapped each piece and put them in a box- the presentation was perfect as I had mentioned I would be bringing these for some friends to try. Had a great conversation while she toiled away, and the background music was the perfect accompaniment to the wares. Overall it was a wonderful visit, with fabulous customer service. I only wish it was open later for an after-dinner espresso / gelato. Prices were as expected for gourmet chocolates. Parking on the street Definitely give them a visit if in Carlisle.

I made the mistake of trying the Peanut Butter with Jimmies & White Chocolate Mocha with Macadamia Nuts I thought I was getting ice cream instead it was cookie dough. It had a good taste but it was really sweet and my combo even made it sweeter and the fact is I was thinking Ice Cream! Anyway service was quick if you knew what you wanted & the place is clean and there is seating! Hopefully we'll get another chance to try the Ice Cream.

I have lived within 30 miles of Leo's Homemade Ice Cream for the majority of my life... and somehow…read morenever knew it existed. Which, honestly, feels like a personal failure at this point. When my Friday night post-dinner dessert plans fell apart, Leo's popped up as a backup option -- and what a plot twist that turned out to be. We arrived around 7:15pm on what was easily the nicest Friday evening of the year so far, and the place was PACKED. Line out the door, people everywhere, full-on "this must be good" energy. But here's the impressive part -- the line moved FAST. Before I knew it, I was inside trying to make one of life's hardest decisions: choosing a flavor. Leo's offers a huge variety of homemade ice cream flavors, and you can tell they take pride in having something for everyone. From classic favorites to more creative options -- and even a sugar-free vanilla option -- there's a ton to choose from. I genuinely stood there for a minute just taking it all in. I ultimately went with a kid's dish of S'mores, and WOW...this was easily one of the best S'mores ice creams I've ever had. Super creamy, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor. The graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow all showed up exactly how they should -- no one ingredient overpowering the others. Just smooth, nostalgic, campfire-in-a-bowl perfection. Also, can we talk about value for a second? $3.50 for a kid's dish? In this economy?! Absolutely worth it. One of the biggest surprises, though, was the space itself. There's plenty of on-site parking, and out back is a huge picnic area with tables, chairs, and even a covered patio. It's the kind of setup that makes you want to linger -- not just grab ice cream and go. Total summer evening vibes. And I have to give a quick shoutout to something I deeply appreciate: their hours. Leo keeps it simple -- open every day from 12pm to 9pm. No guessing, no seasonal "are they open today?" confusion, no wonky schedule to keep track of. Just consistent, reliable ice cream access, which I respect immensely. Now that I know Leo's exists, it's officially in my regular rotation. I already have a mental list of flavors I need to go back and try (including that sugar-free vanilla, because now I'm curious), and I can absolutely see myself spending warm evenings out back enjoying more of Leo's frozen goodness. Better late than never, I guess -- but wow, have I been missing out.

A Must-Visit for Ice Cream Lovers!…read more Urban Churn is hands-down one of the best ice cream spots I've ever been to. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is inviting and full of charm. But the real magic is in the ice cream -- rich, creamy, and bursting with unique, handcrafted flavors you won't find anywhere else. Every scoop feels like it was made with care. Whether you're into the classics or feeling adventurous (their rotating flavors are seriously creative!), there's something for everyone. I tried their Dutch Chocolate, and it was absolutely unforgettable. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to let you sample before you commit -- which you'll appreciate, because choosing just one flavor is nearly impossible. If you're anywhere near Urban Churn, do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll leave with a smile and probably a pint (or two) to take home.

Looking to treat myself a little on a cold, gray Wednesday afternoon, I decided to finally stop…read moreinto Denim Coffee in Carlisle. I've walked and driven past it many times but had somehow never made it inside. Since Denim was also participating in the 2026 Cumberland Valley Coffee & Chocolate Trail, it felt like the perfect excuse to check it out and grab a quick late-afternoon pick-me-up. I walked in around 4pm and found a handful of people inside -- some chatting quietly, others working on laptops. The space was clean, calm, and welcoming, with soft music playing overhead. The woman at the counter was an absolute sunbeam on an otherwise dreary afternoon, greeting me warmly and happily taking my order. I went with an iced coffee with sugar-free vanilla syrup (extra sweet, please!) and oat milk. Total came to $5.25. While she prepared my drink, I took a moment to look around and realized what a great view Denim offers from their bar seating area. Full glass windows with stools looking out over the square in Carlisle make it a fantastic people-watching spot. That afternoon, the Farmers Market was set up across the square, and it was fun watching people dash between stands while dodging raindrops to grab their weekly goodies. It struck me as a perfect place to meet a friend, spend a few hours working on a laptop, or just decompress with a coffee and watch the world go by. Denim also had a small sweet treat case with snacks that would pair nicely with coffee. I stuck with just the drink this time, but everything looked tempting enough that I'd definitely consider adding a pastry next visit. A few minutes later my name was called and my drink was waiting at the end of the counter. One interesting touch: they placed the container of oat milk beside my coffee so I could add exactly as much as I wanted. It's a small detail, but not something you see at many coffee shops, and I appreciated the flexibility. The iced coffee itself was excellent. Unlike some places where iced coffee tastes like watered-down brown liquid, Denim's actually tasted like coffee -- strong, smooth, and delivering a solid caffeine boost. Overall: great service, really good coffee, reasonable prices, and a cozy spot right in the heart of town. The only real challenge is parking since it's so close to the square. Street parking is available nearby, but depending on the time of day you may need to circle a bit. All in all, a great little coffee stop and I'm glad I finally walked through the door.
