All the cupcakes were moist, and a great flavor; too often when you visit bakeries they have frozen the cupcakes and I can always taste that. These were fresh! I love that they chose a downtown location in a historic building and left the safe in the wall. They store the cake boxes in the old safe and it is visible behind the counter which lends character to the atmosphere. This is a candy lovers dream store. Lots of candy gifts ideas.

We got a German chocolate cupcake, which is chocolate cupcake with caramel and coconut-pecan frosting. It was big enough for two people, for sure. The Cookie Monster cupcakes were cute, and there were also cupcakes that looked like sundaes, plus a lot of other flavors, like strawberry cream, pina colada, cherry, M&M and others. Along with cupcakes, you'll also find ice cream, pie and cake slices, cookies, bulk candy, and a whole two walls full of packaged candy, including old fashioned candy like Pez, Chuckles, wax lips and other novelty sweets. This is a sweet and charming little store for all things sweet, located in a vintage-looking building. Parking is on the street or in the small free parking lot a short ways away.

I'm here on a Saturday a little after 8:30 and they are down to slim pickings. It's fine with me because they still had jelly donuts and big caramel frosed. It was great to see folks who pre-ordered boxes & often multiple big boxes) and take them to go. The ladies working were very efficient. I give them 4 because they don't stay open long enough (a product of not making enough donuts ) and the somewhat curt service with less change than expected tho' it was a busy day (not related to pennies).

What a blast from the past! Sweet Shop is the no-nonsense, vintage donut shop of my dreams. They…read morestart making donuts in the wee hours of the morning, put their delicious baked goods in the display case, open their doors, and then sell their donuts until they're all gone, or until noon, whichever comes first. I was told that if they sell out before noon, they will put a sign in the window to let everyone know. Luckily, there was no such sign in the window when I visited at around 10:45 a.m. So I popped in to grab a donut or several. I think I had just slunk in at the nick of time. There was one tray of donuts left! So I got a few: a sprinkle donut, a blueberry cake donut, a glazed round donut, and a glazed twist. I'm a firm believer in keeping it simple when you visit a new donut shop. The glazed twist is my litmus test donut, so that's what I ate, but I also couldn't help eating the blueberry cake, which was a good decision because it was amazing. Sweet Shop keeps it delightfully simple. They sell coffee, but it's literally just black coffee for a buck if you want a medium size, or a buck and a quarter if you want a bigger cup. You can doctor your coffee with some creamer and sugar, but this place ain't making you no fancy lattes. Do you drink coffee or don't you? If you actually drink coffee, then the coffee they offer at Sweet Shop should be more than enough for you. They also sell orange juice and milk (regular, chocolate and strawberry) in plastic bottles, which you'll find in the refrigerated case. Other than that and a couple of little tables, that's all she wrote for Sweet Shop. This place is simple but great. Visit early for the best selection.

THE best chocolates in Indiana. I'm calling it, people. And you can believe me, because I've eaten…read morea lot of chocolate in Indiana. I get around. J. Evelyn Confections -- also somewhat confusingly called Greenfield Chocolates by some -- is a boutique chocolate shop in downtown Greenfield. They use Valrhona chocolate and other high-quality ingredients to make their confections, and everything that they make is so fresh that they ask you to eat it within two weeks. I love that these chocolates are so good that they have rules! I don't think any kind of chocolate, in any amount, would last two weeks at my house, especially if it came from this chocolate shop, so that's no problem for me. They gave samples of their milk chocolate and dark chocolate, both of which were amazing. The chocolate has a snap when you bite into it, which is what you want. Then, it melts in your mouth. So luscious and delicious. I got a small sampler box of some of their popular chocolates: a milk chocolate caramel, a creamy vanilla bean truffle, a lemon chiffon truffle, a chocolate that had champagne in it (!!) and a crispy chocolate bonbon. Each chocolate was unique and spectacular and delightful. They have lots of chocolates and truffles, but they also sell chocolate bars, chocolate-covered nuts, caramel clusters and so many other chocolate-covered things. Greenfield Chocolates -- also called J. Evelyn Confections -- has received the Indiana Artisan seal of approval, which is kind of a big deal! It means that this local chocolate shop is committed to creating handcrafted and high-quality products in Indiana, which is really cool.

The clerk was friendly and happy to tell me the story of the owner, her friend who has this remarkable candy making skills. Most of the chocolate comes from Europe and all the candies are made fresh on site. The candies looked like little works of art. Some of the candies have a short shelf life (a couple days) because they are made of fresh ingredients and preservative free. She told me that their best seller are these giant nut clusters. They come with pecans or cashews and milk chocolate or dark. I picked out a dark chocolate cashew cluster. I ate my candy later in the evening and it tasted simply devine. The chocolate was rich and salty and the caramel creamy with the crunch of the fresh tasting nuts. What a treat. I'll be returning. The clerk told me that they decorate seasonly, and Christmas decor is fabulous.

When I think of orchards, I tend to reflect fondly back on school field trips and my childhood in…read moregeneral. That feeling was alive and well at Greenfield, Indiana's Tuttle Orchards. This 200-acre establishment offers around 50 acres of apples, 30 acres of vegetables, 20-25 acres of pumpkins, and a greenhouse among other options. There's a small cafe here. There's U-Pick apples, of course, along with U-Pick pumpkins. There's flowers galore, a variety of food items, exhibits classes, tours, and more. They take credit cards (no WIC or SNAP). There's no general admission to get into Tuttle. There's also no parking fee. There are fees for certain activities, and there are obviously fees for items that are sold. There are over 2,000 items in their farm store. I'm a definite fan of the donuts. Yeah, I know. What kind of weirdo goes to an orchard and gets a donut? Me. I'm that weirdo. More than 90% of their plants sold are grown right at the orchard. Tuttle has been around since the early apple trees were planted in 1928. It's now fourth generation Tuttle, though the owners are actually named Roney at this point (but still in the family). Accessibility? Better than expected and obviously intentional. Perfect? Nope. It's an orchard. No orchard will be perfectly accessible, but it's quite good and employees are helpful as much as able. Parking lot offers parking options. They've worked with disabled students, and the hayride is wheelchair accessible. The pumpkin patch is a dirt path, however, for the most part I found it workable. Some may need assistance. The only accessibility issue in most places would be the crowds, as Tuttle can get quite packed - especially on weekends. Tuttles does ask for advance notice for those with disabilities if possible, especially for groups, so guides can adapt material as needed for age/developmental level. Overall, I really enjoyed this visit. It wasn't my first time to Tuttle, though I'd never remembered it well enough to be comfortable reviewing it. After a recent visit, I remembered why I always enjoyed it so much. It was more accessible than expected, everyone was friendly, and a side benefit is really watching all the kids around you have such a good time. There's a reason so many consider an orchard visit a fall tradition. Tuttle Orchard is a great place to start that tradition with your friends and family.

What a fun and welcoming place to get a coffee and sit for a while. I ordered the raspberry dream latte and she ordered some caramel honey something iced coffee and they were both delicious! We sat down in the caboose and enjoyed the details and we just went to the back to get some pictures. I will say I can honestly appreciate that they have a reservation sign up for the back of the caboose which makes so much sense. Time and time again we have gone to coffee shops and too many people are just hogging up areas and or treating the coffee shops like it's their personal office area so i definitely appreciate that you must make a reservation to enjoy the experience of the caboose. Other coffee shops should get on board with this kind of idea...pun intended! (Wink wink) Our experience was definitely a great one and looking forward to a not so windy day to be able to enjoy the patio area outside. Great staff, great drinks! Definitely a must visit!

I've been a customer for 6 years, but the direction this company is going has lost me…read more My biggest issue is the change of how they are selling almond butters and cashew butters - one time only presale and having to wait weeks for product rather than buying when you need or want to. Then it's on the customers to buy and meet the company's goal, otherwise they will be refunded. How is that a customer friendly approach, it's a frustrating experience. The company did not meet the cashew butter goal, so what did they do, they extended the timeline, because of course that is not customer friendly to cancel when it's just 70 jars from not meeting their goal. Which now results in a misleading and dishonest practice. Aside from that, they are not transparent about the future and inconsistent about their messaging. You see people making comments stating they want to buy more almond butters or want different flavors offered and I've seen both the response of we hope to have almonds on the site soon to then changing we hope to do another presale, which is not sustainable to put this all on the customers at one time. Or they give the frustrating line of we never say never! My advice to the company, stop focusing on posting trendy reels and start focusing on transparency with the direction and future of the company with consistent messaging, as well as offering product in a better way, because this is not it.
