The Carmelcorn Shop is an old-fashioned confectionery shop that opened in Easton, Pennsylvania in…read more1931. It was founded by husband and wife John & Ruth Doherty. In addition to their signature housemade carmelcorn, the shop also specializes in popcorn, fresh roasted nuts, fudge, chocolates, gummies and old-fashioned hard candies. Richard Baskin purchased the shop from the Dohertys in 1985. He in turn sold the shop to husband and wife Tony and Sia Bassil in 1996 and they have owned it ever since. Sia had originally been hired to work behind the counter for the Dohertys in 1977, when she was just 14. She continued to work at the shop, on and off, for several years until she bought it with her husband. My family and I visited The Carmelcorn Shop this past summer while we were visiting relatives in the area. We were exploring Downtown Easton and noticed the storefront. It looked like a really cool place and we were shocked when we saw the sign that read "Since 1931". The shop is pretty small, but it has all sorts of novelty candies. The carmelcorn smelled great! We ended up getting some as well as some old-fashioned candies for our two boys. It's nice to know that there are still old-fashioned candy shops like this still in existence. If you're visiting Downtown Easton, then we recommend that you take a stop at the Carmelcorn Shop for a trip down memory lane.

Instead of being treated like any other customer, I felt singled out and watched in a way that made clear I was being racially profiled. What should have been a normal, pleasant shopping moment instead felt like harassment. I want to be clear: I wasn't doing anything wrong. Looking at merchandise before making a purchase is a completely normal part of shopping, and being treated with suspicion for doing so is not acceptable. It's left a genuinely sour taste in my mouth about visiting this location again. I'll also note that when I asked, staff told me they don't make any candy in-store except for the popcorn.

We decided to stop at Annie's Ice Cream before heading into downtown Jim Thorpe, and were happy we…read moredid. Annie's is a classic old-school local ice cream shop where you can cool off with a variety of sweet treats. Whether you're craving hard ice cream, soft-serve, sundaes, Italian ice, or Arctic Swirls, they have something for everyone. Even though there was only one employee working when we visited, he was friendly, efficient, and provided excellent service. The portions were huge, which definitely made our day. The biggest surprise, however, was the banana pudding. It was absolutely delicious and made fresh to order with real bananas and Nilla Wafers. The only downside is the limited seating since it operates mainly as a walk-up window. There are a few tables out front and one on the side, but on a hot, sunny day, finding a shady spot can be a challenge. Overall, Annie's is a charming local ice cream stop with generous portions, friendly service, and some surprisingly tasty treats beyond just ice cream.

As we walked by the truck we received an enthusiastic cheerful HELLO! from the friendly folks inside of it. Once beers were ordered, boyfriend went out to order foods. We were sharing a flight, so their pierogis were the perfect selection. I love me a homemade crispy pierogi and Trè served just that! Portion of five was plentiful but I easily could of polished off a dozen bc they were that good and who wouldn't want to eat a dozen pierogis. Seems like there menu is ever changing and from the looks of all their menu offerings available that day being enjoyed by the tables around us, you probably can't go wrong with whatever they are serving. I looked them up after our yummy eats and seems like they do catering and are game to create whatever you desire and that's pretty rad so keep them in mind for large festivities in need of great foods!

If you are at the following locations and see the Trè Locally Sourced food truck do not hesitate to…read moreget some food. - Eight Oaks Distillery, 7189 PA-309, New Tripoli, PA Permanently there now on Fri, Sat, and Sun. during business hours - Free Will Brewery, 410 E Walnut St #1,10, Perkasie, PA they are there from 5-8 on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and I think Sunday - Yergey Brewing 518 Bank St, Emmaus, PA varies - Funk Brewery, 19 S 6th St, Emmaus, PA varies - Weddings (yes, they do cater weddings!) I first came in contact with food made by Brad and Tim, (the owner and operators of the Trè Locally Sourced food truck), when they made and were responsible for the food at Cafe Frais. At the time they were using the kitchen as their commissary as well as cooking for the cafe. Unfortunately the cafe was shut down after about a year of operation but Trè Locally Sourced continued to flourish. They have now been in business for two years. The reason I am familiar with all of this is because our daughter, who lives in Emmaus, was the baker for Cafe Frais. In addition to doing all the baking for the cafe she eventually became the manager for the front of the house. When the cafe closed she started to work exclusively for Trè at various events. This is why I knew that Trè was at the Yergey Brewery this past Wednesday night. I went up to Emmaus to bring our grandchildren home for the weekend. Everyone was hungry, Since I already knew that Trè had good food we stopped for dinner. This is our honest review that we also posted on google. "My, my! I stopped at the Tre Food truck at the Yergy Brewery tonight and scored some dinner for my 3 grandchildren and myself. WOWSER!!! Brad and Tim are the guys from Cafe Frais so if you were feeling a little sad about losing out on their great food you can just follow their food truck around. My 11 year old grandson and I had the beef empanadas filled with grass fed beef and served with some mayo with a kick and pickled jalapenos and carrots. Description on menu: local grass fed beef/wild fox farm potatoes/olives/peruvian hot pepper, aioli/salad Confession: I'm gluten free but since I was going to open my gluten window tomorrow (for Thanksgiving) anyway I figured why the heck not? I should tell you that you get 2 very nice sized empanadas. The empanadas were great! We both chowed down on them. My grandson said, "The shell had a good texture. The filling was flavored well. The spicy mayo was a good touch. The pickled veggies complimented it well." He would prefer the veggies to be pickled a bit more. This is a kid that eats cold raw sauerkraut with his pork roast. As for me, I really appreciate that they use grass fed beef. Thank you. My 8 year old grandaughter ordered the shrimp gyro. The menu description: citrus poached shrimp/shaved lettuce, and pickled red onions on a toasted pita. I traded her a bite of my empanada for a bite of her sandwich. Once again Tre nailed it. The granddaughter said that the shrimp had nice fresh dill and it was cooked well. The pita bread was great. She didn't eat her pickled onions. (I'm about to go in and nab them..... They were smokey, which I wasn't expecting. I'm not sure I liked them.) My 14 year old grandson ordered the pulled pork. Here's how it was described on the menu: 24 hour braised pork/dijon bbq sauce/chef side (which was coleslaw). To be truthful this kid is not the most adventurous with his food choices. When I asked him if he wanted the chef's to put the sauce on his pork he said it sounded great. Here are his exact words after eating his sandwich: "The pork was cooked perfectly and it was nice and juicy. The bun seemed a little bit stale. The sauce was amazing. The slaw was decent." You have to know that this boy does not eat coleslaw, EVER. Stupid me forgot to tell the person who took the order to keep it off the sandwich but it turns out he ate it without a word! Tre was also selling giant cookies - gingersnaps and maybe chocolate chip? We passed because we knew tomorrow was Thanksgiving and we wouldn't be holding anything back. Thank you Tre. You rock! Total Bill: $38
