We'd like to get her take on the High Prices, and the clerk is clueless -- why would you Not want all of your employees informed about price of chocolate. Both parking lot and store floor are empty of consumers, why? Previous Rates: Earlier in 2025, reciprocal tariffs added 10%-15% to landed costs, with some specific products facing, or threatening, even higher duties. Impact: The tariffs, combined with high global commodity prices, caused significant disruptions to U.S. chocolate makers (e.g., Hershey), forcing higher retail prices (10-20% increases) and reducing consumer demand. Though federal officials announced the lifting of tariffs in November 2025, some industry members reported a delay in seeing actual cost relief, with some reports noting continued, targeted duties. Severe drought, exacerbated by climate change and heat, is severely impacting West African cocoa production, particularly in Ivory Coast and Ghana, which produce over half the world's cocoa. Widespread dry conditions affect over half of Ivory Coast and two-thirds of Ghana, threatening major harvest seasons. Key affected areas include central and western regions of Ivory Coast. Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) and Ghana are currently the primary drought-stricken cocoa areas in Africa, together accounting for roughly 60% of global production. As of late March 2026, drought conditions blanket more than half of Côte d'Ivoire and approximately two-thirds of Ghana, significantly threatening the mid-season harvest.

They offer pastries too, but I don't think they're made there, so they aren't always the freshest. Still, they're decent if you want something small to eat. Overall, it's a nice place to spend an afternoon, relax, and enjoy a coffee.

I was offered a glass of warm rosé since they had none chilled, which I declined. Staff didn't know that a rosé should be chilled. When asked for a Pinot noir, was handed a Pinot Grigio. When asked for the red, was met with a blank stare and told it wouldn't be cold. No kidding, Pinot noir is not meant to be refrigerated. The guy said "I'm not a wine person, sorry I'm not familiar." Also, their claim to fame is Ohio's best buckeye but they were all sold out. The cherry cordial tasted rather stale. Rather disappointing way to kill an afternoon.

There's plenty of seating with plugs available! I got the chai tea latte and although the proportion of milk to concentrate was skewed, it was still good. I also had their peach danish and it was flaky and had a generous amount of fruit in the pastry--it is unfortunate that warming the danish was not an option. I didn't try any of their chocolate or wine but they have a wide selection if that is what you're looking for!

I was disappointed with the changes they have made to their products:…read more1. The cinnamon/carmel-iced rolls were much smaller. I would rather pay a higher price for them to get the original product. 2. In general, I noticed the icing amount on their donuts and in particular the sticks/bars was noticeably reduced. I have bought donuts from Bill's for 50+ years. Appx. once every 2-3 months I purchased 2-2-1/2 dozen mixed variety, put them in the chest freezer and we ate them 1 or 2 at a time (microwaved).

They are not cute or fancy, but they are tasty and well done classics. We got a big variety and I loved the custard filled long John the best - it was a nice ratio of filling and the frosting wasn't too sweet. The dough was also soft and fresh. I even liked the old fashioned cake donuts, which typically are not my favorite as they can be a bit dry and flavorless. Not so with these! They were lightly crisp on the outside, not dry at all, and lightly glazed.

I only got the chance to eat a few of the goodies I had but what I did eat was pretty good . I received some sort of apple danish which was so soft and pretty good . Then there was this pastry called Kougin Amann, which kinda reminded me of baklava without the peanuts and the glaze. But it was soo good it was in the size of a Muffin. They gave us two. There were also other parties in there that I didn't get a chance to even get too but there was a cinnamon roll and some pastry with strawberries and crème in the middle. 10/10 will definitely have to come back and get some more pastries and goodies

After I chose a seat, they brought out my breakfast croissant on a paper plate. I wish the cheese was melted, but the sandwich was really good. The croissant was impressive-it tasted like I was back in Paris. It just felt like I was in my hotel lobby having breakfast with all the paper products. I opted for an assortment of to go pastries to try--almond croissant, lemon blueberry scone, and coffee cake. They were all pretty delicious, except the scone. The coffee cake was the best. I will be back!
