We tried the coffee: rich, caffeiney, perfect, the chocolate: deep and decadent the Stracciatella Which was abolsutely phenomenal with perfect vanilla heavenly creaminess drizzled with just the right amount of chocolate ribbons, And the brand new "orange creamsicle" which uses more of a tangerine with cream. While I'm not much into orange- this was also a big standout. I can't wait to see what else they have in their usual store!

I have been a regular customer of the "Beef Box" for well over a year now and I am very happy with…read morethe quality of the beef. They ship the beef box all the way to my home in Rhode Island and they even through in a few "freebies". I feel fortunate that I can support a local family farm with compassionate-towards-animals farming practices. I am one of those meat-eaters who wishes she was a vegan. Lilac Hedge is a worthy compromise. The beef is delicious.

First thing that caught my eye about Meola's is that they have A LOT of flavors! So many that it…read moremakes it hard to choose what to order. However, I was disappointed after my first visit here. I ordered a small Triple chocolate ecstasy which clearly said it contained Oreos. The ice cream definitely did not have Oreos. The portions are okay...I definitely expected more for a $6 small. Lastly the cups are a bit obnoxious. Not only are they styrofoam but the sides are really low. I will come back here to try other flavors because the flavors are what makes this place unique.

This was our first visit and I don't think there'll be a second. A pet peeve is mint residual…read moreflavor on a non-mint ice cream - not only is it not welcome, it indicates inadequate scoop rinsing/cleaning. The ice cream was also somewhat icy, and the bonus was that they will not give more than one flavor unless you get a LARGE. We get ice cream at many, many places all over and that is not a policy we've seen before. If you live far away, it's tough to try more than one flavor because none of us ever want or need a large. Finally, my cone had absolutely no ice cream in it - the scoop was only perched on top and the cone was hollow. That made it particularly expensive (it was on the costly side in the first place). On the plus side, the flavor was good, and there are a bunch of others that sounded good - I would have liked to try them. The iciness, the sad cone, and the mint (no, I did not order or want mint ice cream) brought it down a notch.

I ordered the Turkey Mozzarella which was served on a seasoned focaccia bread stacked with a generous heaping of Boars Head Turkey, fresh mozzarella, arugula, tomatoes and pesto. It was a spectacular sandwich. I also got a side of their cowboy caviar which contained corn, tomato, black beans, onion, peppers. It was a tad underseasoned but still tasty. The sandwiches take a while to prepare but are well worth it, they're delish. Pricing is very reasonable for the massive quantities of food. This is in rural Princeton MA and has sprawling seating with picnic tables and umbrellas. I would absolutely come back here if in the area again, and highly recommend checking it out!

The place is called "Frutti". It is a typical self serve fro-yo place in the style of TCBY,…read moreSweetFrog, Menchie's, or FroZenYo. You have 5-6 machines with 2 flavors each, then a selection of toppings and you pay by weight. The flavors at this location were actually pretty good. Better than my last experience at FroZenYo, but not as good as SweetFrog. The Triple Cheesecake is chocolatey, but perhaps a little too sweet. The tart raspberry had the raspberry taste I was looking for, but maybe was not as tart as I would have wanted. The coconut was actually pretty darn good as coconut fro-yo goes. In terms of the frozen yogurt, I have two complaints about this place. 1.) You need to keep the trays and run-offs from the machines clean. Those areas looked like they had not been cleaned for a bit, and when you are doing self serve, there are all sorts of variables in terms of people. 2.) Limited low fat options and no non-fat options. No gluten free options listed for those that need it. Most other places I frequent are very good about denoting gluten free/non-fat. Not to mention, I get frozen yogurt because it is low fat, and not having it there just makes me want ice cream. The toppings selection is really well done. The nut/granola selection is nicely segregated from the fruits, with the candy in the middle. Had some unique items that I had not seen in other places, such as multiple types of boba (at least 4), caramel/peanut butter/raspberry chocolate cups (mini), among others. Limited fruit selection though, I'm used to having some sort of berry (or more), and some sort of citrus. Only really had pineapple and maraschino cherries. I'd like it if the folks behind the counter policed the topping bar more, so that the ladles are facing in the right direction. The ladles are the labels, so not being able to see the label means I'm guessing. But it did hit the spot.

Val's Restaurant: A Holden Legend ​If you haven't been to…read moreVal's, have you even truly lived in Central Mass? Here is the breakdown: ​The Vibe: It feels like a giant, cozy hug from a grandmother who really wants to make sure you never see your abs ever again. ​The Portions: Val's operates on the "more is more" philosophy. I ordered a "side" of pasta and I'm pretty sure they just brought out the entire kitchen's inventory for the week. ​The Strategy: You don't go to Val's for a "light bite." You go there to commit to a three-day food coma. If you don't leave with at least two heavy paper bags of leftovers that could feed a small village, did you even go? ​The Verdict: 10/10. My belt is screaming, my heart is full of chicken parm, and I'll probably be back next Tuesday.

Although I'm not surprised. (-; It is rare to find such a well-oiled machine in a restaurant that operates with such heart -- you can tell how connected the crew is and that they're having a good time too, which extends to a customer's experience -- with food that is made with such skill and craft, such care and thought and pride. It's so clear that this is Val's passion, and we are most grateful to have learned about her and her place. Val and team, thank you for the unforgettable birthday sendoff you created for me last night. My friends are sending texts of gratitude for such a lovely time; all of it was perfect. The pretty room with fairy lights and garden flowers and purple everywhere; the FOOD, all of it so delicious and clearly made with a great deal of love and skill, and how fun to have our own printed selection menu; those mocktails, brava to their creatrix; the cake setup; and because of the attentiveness, energy, fun and expertise of the serving crew, you all created a lovely experience where the 25 of us could be fully present, take our time, and just get to be ourselves together! I will keep sending folks your way, whether it's for a casual meal or a reception, memorial luncheon, etc. Thank you again.

Since it was a beautiful day we decided it would be perfect... and hopefully the food would be, too. We were not disappointed. My companion ordered the lamb gyro ($12.99) with a Sangria ($10). I ordered a pork souvlaki ($12.99) with a Pilsner draught ($9). Both sandwiches came with a small bag of Lay's potato chips & a pickle spear. Everything was delicious, and their Tzatziki sauce was the best I've ever had. Service was fast and friendly. Even after we had finished our meal & drinks we were invited to stay as long as we wanted to enjoy the steel drum entertainment. We will definitely return when we're in the area.

Terrible for the price. I went with my girlfriend for dinner. I got a burger, she got a cold cut…read moresandwich, and we got a baked mac and cheese to share. The whole meal was $55. I asked for my burger rare, and it was medium at best. The lettuce was just chopped pieces of salad lettuce thrown on there. The fries were cold and stale. Her sandwich was decent, albeit dry. The worst part was the Mac and cheese. It was so sickeningly greasy that I couldn't eat it. We had to dump most of the grease out because it was in a literal bath. Very disappointing.
