It's mail-order (or I guess online-order) only, although Jillian does make appearances at local farmers' markets and holiday markets. I've sampled her fruit&nut granola bars, amazingly decadent brownies, sea salt chocolate chunk cookies, and brown sugar shortbread buttons, and always go for a second helping. I love that she utilizes local ingredients and tells you straight off that your order will be shipped in a few days so she can make everything fresh. It's an easy gift to send and you know the recipient will be happy. I've started to order a snack or two before a work meeting, both to help spread the word of Grainne and to satisfy my sweets cravings.

Our dessert was strawberry & blueberry pastry- incredibly flaky layers. I was surprised to discover those were filo dough-like layers. Melting in the mouth, but slightly on the heavy side.

I asked if they offered refills, & unbelievably although the answer was No, I got a cup of refill all the same. Will be back.

He loved them all- cinnamon roll, apple stick and the blueberry and strawberry danish. We greatly enjoyed our trip and every single item we purchased. The waitstaff were so accommodating and welcoming. A fun 80's song came on the radio and we were joking we all loved the song. We'll be back! 5 stars!

They offer a variety of seasonal flavors, and they've just swapped to their winter ones! I got a cup with gingerbread ice cream and chocolate orange ice cream. There were a bunch of other flavors though, like a peppermint one and eggnog! Since there's a good number of seasonal flavors, it was hard to figure out which one to try! While they unfortunately don't offer samples, they do offer an ice cream flight with 6 small scoops for $13.50. Tempting, but I unfortunately didn't need 6 scoops so I went with just the two! A cute option nonetheless. They do let you mix and match flavors of the scoops you get, so I got to try two. The flavors were phenomenal, I was so happy to get try them. What a pleasant little surprise in the middle of a cute shopping area!! I certainly recommend it here.
