They had water outside along with a little toy for my pup to play with. There was an amazing selection of drinks and my latte had a great espresso to milk ratio.

Service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely be back again tomorrow! Update: Great experience again at Expresso Alley! I went back again today and got the cutest bucket of coffee along with an adorable shamrock cup. I tried the Irish cream, toffee nut, and brown sugar coffees, and all of them were amazing. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced. Everything was made quickly and the presentation was so fun. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to!

We came in on a Saturday late morning like 10am and it was a little busy. But not too bad. The…read moreplace is very coffee/rustic bistro vibes. They had premade foods like soups, salads, bakery items to grab and go. But we want to try the breakfast sandwiches which were only available until 10:30am so we got lucky.

After wandering the trails through Cathedral State Park, hunger hit hard and luckily we managed to…read morefind internet service, which is never guaranteed in this part of the country. That led us straight to Heidi's Bakery & Cafe, and honestly? Total home run. There's a sign hanging on the wall that says: "Homemade with love and butter." That pretty much tells you everything you need to know. You can taste the care and quality in everything they make. We ordered the BLTs on homemade sourdough, and they were absolute perfection --thick, delicious bacon, crisp beautiful lettuce, sweet tomatoes, and sourdough that deserved its own standing ovation. A truly excellent BLT is a thing of beauty, and Heidi's version was gorgeous. The french fries had some kind of secret seasoning situation happening that made them completely addictive. Every bite somehow got better. And then the desserts. Cupcakes. Cookies. Pastries. Basically a direct shipment from heaven itself. The kind of bakery case that makes you start negotiating with your own self-control and losing immediately. If you're exploring the mountains and backroads around Cathedral State Park, this place is 100% worth the stop. Warm, homemade comfort food done right.

This ice cream and coffee shop is easy to miss situated in a corner between the biggest grocery…read morestore for miles and a large gift shop just across Rt 219 from Wisp Ski Resort. You do have multiple ice cream options in the McHenry and Deep Creek Lake area, but Bear Creek has a couple distinct advantages. First, it is open year around, something the ones lakeside are typically not. Second, it is not usually overrun with lines out the door as some of those lakeside ones are (and there is a time and place for those as the view overtop the lake is good fun as well). The selection of ice cream is more than ample and the prices don't break the bank like many tourist-centered locations can do. And over the course of at least five visits across multiple years, I have never experienced slow, grumpy, or impatient service. Any frustration here is likely to come from other patrons rather than those behind the counter. And fair enough, it is the first time visiting for the tourists who often make up the clientele. There can also be big intergenerational groups where getting all the orders organized in a timely manner can be a challenge. But honestly, hopefully you are on vacation as well so where do you really need to be? There are a few tables inside and out so take a load off if you need to. And enjoy that tasty jolt of sugar or caffeine!
