She always gets the frozen s'more and is completely obsessed with it every single time--it never disappoints. I'm usually torn between the cup of chocolate-covered strawberries or the chocolate ice cream with brownie pieces, and honestly, you can't go wrong with either. Everything tastes fresh, rich, and perfectly indulgent. The vibe is fun, the desserts are amazing, and it's the perfect place to treat yourself and catch up with friends. We'll definitely keep coming back!

Terrific place for gifts!…read more I got an email from Yelp recently, telling me about places I should go visit. I saw this Chocolatier in Carrollwood and knew I needed to visit. Located on N Dale Mabry, in the same plaza as Burger 21, Peterbrook Chocolatier is open most days until 8 or 9 PM (except Sundays). This is very convenient for a busy person like myself. I rolled in around 7 last night, and was warmly greeted by Pam. I told her I was looking to get some gifts to show appreciation for some folks and she showed me the most popular items, and then gave me freedom to wander and collect. These folks cover so many things is chocolate. Potato chips, Oreos, Graham crackers, espresso beans, malt balls, raisins, gummy bears, toffee and so much more. They have a very large selection of ready to go baskets full of goodies for Valentine's Day, or you can have one custom made with treats you know your sweetheart will adore. They also have a case of beautiful chocolates you can have boxed (they have heart ones for the holiday!) and Gelato for a yummy snack. I bought a few extra things for myself, and I must say, the chocolate is delightful. I tried the dark chocolate covered candied oranges and they were fantastic. Highly recommend visiting this place for a tasty treat for yourself or someone else.

The top skin is very crispy and the pork belly meat is very soft and tender and it taste tasted like it was just right out out of the oven. I also ordered the sua siu pork, and it was very tender and delicious as well. This oriental grocery store is the most organized and decorated grocery store I've ever been into. They have a whole aisle, dedicated to the Chinese beauty drink, which my mother has stockpiled the ingredients for me and I make a tea of it every week. My mother was with me to help me pick out the pork belly, and she had stated that the prices are pretty decent however, there are some items where the prices are higher than other oriental grocery stores but overall the prices are very decent here. The prices for their deli station is very nicely priced I would say much cheaper than the other places and the quality is much higher than at the other places so it's definitely a win-win situation at this place. They have a very large parking lot and it's very close to downtown Tampa and it's very close a couple blocks away from armature works.

A very interesting find I stumbled upon the other day!…read more Spices galore, something for everyone. You can go pretty far with their packets. They are mixed or envisioned by the owners and are multicultural! There are vibrant flavors of olive oils and vinaigrettes. Olive oils are sourced from Italy. I'm especially impressed by the garlic olive oil (so fresh!) and dark chocolate balsamic! There are also several tea options and a cute tea shop in the back where you can pick up a cup for yourself. This is also a really great place to buy gifts for the holidays. There are prepackaged gifts or you can get a few products to make yourself!

Yes, the two items I tried off the holiday menu were excellent. And wow, my server Taylor was full of good cheer. She took this already happy holiday visit to the next level. She "sleighed"!!!! I love going to the casino. I always feel like I'm far away on vacation... not just the road. But in all my visits to this Hard Rock, I'd never stopped at Sugar Factory until now. I'm so glad this was my first impression. This place gives off the cheeriest holiday glow. From the moment I was greeted by staffers in Christmas costumes, I knew this was going to be great. I was seated on the "patio," since there was a very festive private holiday party in the main dining space. I liked my spot! It was peaceful-with a great view of the revealers. After studying the fun and photogenic holiday menu, I went with the Christmas sliders (cheeseburgers with crispy onions) and the Jack Daniels punch. Wow!!!! Both of these... so, so good! The sliders were cooked to perfection-and the vibrant-hued buns had a nice "crunch" to them. I actually said out loud:"man, these are good." The cute snowman mug full of the equally delightful punch (it was apple based, with all the warm spices. Fantastic!) winked back at me. Taylor suggested the punch and I'm so glad. I'm still smiling over how fun and helpful she was. I can't say enough about this visit. I can't wait to go back. This could become a regular Friday thing for me. I'm also starting the countdown clock till the next holiday season! Oh! And it's an easy walk form the free parking in the Lucky Street garage. I'm all in on Sugar Factory!

The quality of the meat was excellent, and I appreciated the reasonable prices. Being a family-owned business, Heights Meat Market is a great place to buy premium meats.
