The staff is always lovely, the food and drinks are stellar, and the atmosphere is very calm. It can be quite busy, especially when they have bands playing, but they always do their best to get you in quickly. And even if it is busy, there is plenty of seating. One of my favorite spots to bring my out of town friends!

Hollenbeck's is my go to for cider and donuts in the fall…read more The line is almost always out the door in the fall so be prepared to wait. While you wait you can select a peck or bushel of apples, or maybe send a scout out to the baked goods and fudges, or watch the old cider press in action. When you reach the donuts you can pick from powered sugar, cinnamon powdered sugar, or plain. Personally I think plain is the best because they are hot, crispy, pillowy delights. There is a limit in that you can only buy 4 dozen donuts per person. The cider itself fresh pressed right before your eyes. Two people work together to layer the mash and wood pallets on a very old and incredible press. The cider is well filter and not as sweet as other ciders but very good! One note: you cannot buy cups of the cider- you have to buy a half gallon or gallon and then open it outside. On the pie side you can actively see and smell the pies being made. If you would like a pie for a special occasion you might want to call ahead to reserve one as they sell FAST. In the cold cases on the pie side is also where the cheese curds, summer sausage, and some meets such as elk and lamb are available. The great thing is the baked goods are available all year, so Hollenbeck's is a great stop even in the spring and summer. Also of note it smells like pressed apples ALL YEAR! Parking- one entrance, one exit. There is parking in the front and back, and some street parking as well.

I liked my avocado sandwich+fried egg, but the popcorn chicken and waffles seems like their take on the classic and I want to try their taro latte.

Racquel's cake is delicious and designed with a true artist's touch. She's very easy to talk to when I wanted to customize it.

Racquel's business is truly a blessing to families like us and helps us to stay close to the important days with our children when they are thousands of miles away from home. Thank You Racquel for all the beautiful cakes and moments. I highly recommend this business!

We got our wedding cake and cupcakes from Sinfully Delicious and they were stunning and delectable!…read moreRaquel was great to work with as we nailed down our flavors and numbers, and multiple guests told us that this was the best dessert they'd ever had at a wedding. Our cake was cardamom sponge with lemon curd and lemon meringue buttercream, and my spouse, who has very high standards for baked goods, said that they could not have imagined having a better cake. Truly a fantastic experience.

It's probably good I don't live near here, because it would be terrible for my waistline. But after…read moretrying this bakery on the penultimate day of a vacation, we had to come back to stock up on our final day. We collectively tried the olive ciabatta, three kinds of croissants, a flatbread, an epi bread, and maybe a couple of other things I am forgetting. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. I love the vibe of the place, I love the logo they stamp on their bags, I love that they threw in an extra pastry because we bought so much on that last day, and I love the location just across from the river. (First-time visitors should note that you enter the bakery from the back of the building that faces Water St.) Perhaps the strongest endorsement came from my partner's 14-year-old son, who gave the almond croissant a 10/10. When I asked him to rate the almond croissant that he loves from a bakery local to us, he gave it an 8.5/10. Follow-up questioning revealed that the chocolate croissants from the two bakeries merited a 9.5 and 8, respectively. Oh, and if you call earlier in the day they will hold things for you if you won't be able to make it in until later in the day.
