Thursday is food truck day downtown. On this fine Thursday, I walked by and noticed this adorable…read morefood truck. The tiny truck is aqua, with a little window showcasing the assortment of beautiful cupcakes. There is an adorable girl swiftly managing the long line of people. She even matched the adorable theme! She was wearing cute little overalls, with perfect eyeliner and a little bandana in her high ponytail. The whole thing just looked like a movie. Some of the cupcake flavors are: Rocky Road, Strawberry Sweetheart, Tres Leches, Birthday Cake, Banana Cream Pie, Snickerdoodle, Red Velvet.... The frosting is stacked high and each cupcake is decorated so sweet. After my lunch (from Tako BBQ), I ordered 2 cupcakes. I could not decide which two to pick, so at the last second I went with the strawberry sweetheart and the rocky road. I take my first bite of the rocky road. The frosting is high so I have to open my mouth super wide in order to get the perfect bite. The frosting is not mega sweet (yay), but it is super soft and creamy. It is surrounded by marshmallows and slivers of nuts. The chocolate cake is super soft, and is absolutely not dry inside. Next I tried the strawberry one. It is white cake, with strawberry mousse inside topped with whipped cream and a homemade candy heart. The candy heart is a bit too sweet for me, but the whipped cream on top was yummy!!! The mousse inside was pink and very rich, but still, not incredibly sugary, it was delicious.

Generally I find cupcakes to be dry, overly sweet, and boring. The cupcakes at this truck were ok…read more They were too sweet for me, but they were creative and there was a nice variety. There were twelve different cupcakes when we walked up. Strangely, none of them were labeled. I just didn't get that. We tried three different cupcakes: peanut butter chocolate, candy corn, and something like a vanilla-caramel-cream cheese. They were all fine. The consensus was that they weren't necessarily better than homemade from a box. The odd part of the experience was that, when it was time to pay, after presenting their credit cards, customers were told, "You have the option of giving a 15% tip or a 20% tip." Both customers I observed seemed taken aback at this, as was I.

The pastries are soft, sweet, and always hit the spot--especially the warm ones right out of the oven. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the owner. He and his wife are so genuinely kind and welcoming, and they make you feel appreciated every time you walk in. It's the kind of place where you're greeted with a smile and treated like a regular, even if it's your first visit. Overall?: Great food, amazing people, and that cozy small-town bakery feel that keeps you coming back again and again.

What really makes it stand out is the ability to create your own combination of flavors and mix-in toppings, all blended together fresh right in front of you on the cold stone. It always feels fun, personal, and made exactly how you want it. The ice cream is super creamy and indulgent, with tons of mix-in/topping options so you can switch it up every time or stick with your go-to favorite. There's something really satisfying about watching it all get mixed together and knowing it's made fresh just for you. The staff is friendly and upbeat, and even when it's busy they keep things moving quickly while still being welcoming and helpful. The atmosphere is casual, bright, and perfect for a quick treat or a dessert stop with friends or family. It's the kind of place that always hits the spot when you're craving something sweet and fun.

I think the flavor, as far as an ice cream version goes, was spot on. They even had the little tiny thin crunchy pieces mixed in, called Kataifi. Which, I believe you can request without if you're not fond of the texture, but I would not recommend omitting them as they would take away from the entirety of the Dubai Chocolate flavor experience. Don't forget, they also sell more than just ice cream here. They have dipped apples, truffles and ice cream cakes too!!!

I finally had a chance to check out Lush Fine Wines & Provisions during Hanford's Thursday Night…read moreMarket. The downtown area was pretty busy, and the place was packed, but I was still able to find a seat inside. While I was there, I ordered a glass of white wine, which was really good, and the marinated olives, which were delicious! The people working there were very friendly and helpful, which always makes for a better experience. I think what I like most about this place is the atmosphere. It's cute, and a nice spot to sit outside, and do a little people watching while enjoying the downtown vibe. It's not a place that completely blows me away, but it's definitely somewhere I'd come back to. This is a great spot to meet up with friends or coworkers after work, have a drink or two, and just hang out. They don't only serve wine they also have beer, so there's a little something for everyone. Overall, it's a nice place. I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

I am handicapped; I have neuropathy pain in my feet and the severity comes and goes. I can hardly walk today I'm in so much pain. I pulled up in front of the sliding metal doors to the nursery to ask the guy sitting right at the door if they had Clematis vines. I was parked 6' away from him with my hazard lights blinking. I smiled and said hi and I asked him through my car window if they had Clematis vines. He was cold and unfriendly and works in the garden department but he didn't know what Clematis was and instead of opening his phone and looking it up, he said "what's that?" I explained and then he pulled out his phone and he asked me to spell it for him and I did, and then he showed me a picture and he said "is this it?" and I said "yes" Then he said "okay, it says we have one". I said "I need three, so all you have is one?" "No, (he said impatiently) no, it says we have 10." I said "okay, thank you, but you said you had one". Then I said "I need three, and I'm handicapped and there are no handicapped carts on this side of store. So will you please walk in and get three for me, and you put them in my car for me?" He said "No I can't. I can't leave my post here." I said "okay I understand, will you please call customer service and ask them if they can send someone to come and help me?" He said "No, I can't do that." I asked an older couple walking into that door if they would look to see where they are for me, and they couldn't find them. When they asked him where they were, he pointed to a stand with pack of seeds in it. They told him I wanted the plants. He said "well all we have seeds." OH MY GOD, ALL OF THAT FOR NOTHING!
