Yes - Words of the greatest scribe cannot properly express the vibe of Franklin Tpke on the fall of dawn in the midst of the dog days of a sun drenched summer. Ernesto is the best-o. Better than the rest-o. Custard so creamy. Must be living in a dreamy. On the order of the earthquake. I do feel the earth shake. But with just one taste. The world loses its haste. And for the life of me, I don't know how or why but the shine of the hidden sun overwhelms the piercing and playful ever-present moon. Gusts of fresh air rid my face of its weary and the dew of the grass sparkles so intensely that even the strongest of man would swoon. A child, a father, and a grand papa - faces filled with the same expression, a smile. As they sit on a bench together, they partake in silence but hope this moment lasts a while. Whether June or July, August or September... A night spent at Ernie's is one to remember.

Like... blink twice if you're alive. Mission half accomplished. Barista was polite. Efficient. Straight to business. No fluff. Which is fine... except somehow, despite there being no one in front of me, I was standing there long enough to wonder if this is how time works in dog years. Now let's talk pastries. I was torn between a scone and a muffin. The muffin won purely on looks, it was giving "pick me." And I'm glad I got it... even though it was dry. Like, Sahara dry. Like it needed chapstick. Crumbly too. BUT plot twist: I didn't hate it. I wanted scone texture with muffin taste, and somehow the universe delivered both in one baked good. Accidental win. The place itself? Nothing wild, nothing gimmicky. Standard pastry case, good seating, chill vibes. But the real star here is how clean everything was and honestly, that matters. If I'm eating crumbs that explode on impact, I at least want to know they came from a spotless counter. Overall: good coffee, decent pastry redemption arc, minimal personality but solid execution. Not life changing, but I'd come back, just maybe with a glass of water... for the muffin.

From what I saw, if you can't find your sweet desire here, you don't need it. They also take pride in making their chocolate on premises. During this visit, I purchased raspberry and rum cream chocolates. Every chocolate was heavenly and I should have purchased fifty more. The staff maintains the store very clean, wear plastic gloves when selecting your choices, and the prices are reasonable. Don't hesitate to visit Meyer's and I'll hedge, that you won't leave the store without a sweet purchase.

It's a great place to get gifts for all kind of occasions the birth of a new baby a new job. They also have other types of candy like jellybeans, large assortment of those they have gummy's. They even have popcorn, which I think you see in of my pictures just lots of choices and options.

While our first experience was positive (tasty and had even given us a charitable discount), this year was incredibly disappointing. We booked the truck for 1.5 hours to support a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Due to lower-than-anticipated turnout, attendees stopped purchasing ice cream around the 45-minute mark. Despite us having booked the truck for the full 1.5 hours, the operator decided to leave early on his own accord without asking our input on it. When it came time to settle the payment, we had to pull funds directly from our charity collections to pay the full booking fee (which is fine except communication with this company grew increasingly difficult and we only had a check for the full time amount not knowing if his charity event fee would be lower then the listed price). We asked if we could pay at a later date since we were only at the half time mark, but the operator insisted on being paid immediately, telling us that he would 'remember' to give us a break next time. The day after the event, we reached out to see if he would honor that 'break' by applying the 45 minutes he didn't work toward a future Teacher Appreciation Luncheon (where he would still be making money from individual sales). He refused, insisting that because we booked two time blocks, we must pay for both, even though he chose to leave our event early. It is disheartening to see a vendor take funds directly out of a charity's pocket and then refuse to honor their word regarding a future credit. We will not be using this service again.

I liked the creativity of the dishes on the menu and I liked the milkshake I got (peanut butter, yogurt and banana). Decor was cute, simple and on theme (bees). There wasn't much room for sitting so it is best to take things to go. One thing to note - if you get a milkshake and ask for sprinkles, know that the sprinkles will be generously mixed into your drink and not just dusted on top. My daughter got that and ended up drinking my milkshake because she was overwhelmed by the amount of sprinkles she got. Overall, cute stop - recommended to try.
