These are VEGAN donuts, however you could've fooled me!…read more My husband wanted to give this place a try while we were here for the weekend and I'm glad he did his research! They are crazy popular, so there was already a line outside when we arrive 5 minutes before opening on a sunny summer Sunday morning. Wow! That's always a good sign. We waited in line for about 25 minutes total, which wasn't terrible. They have sooo many choices, and we ended up choosing the Strawberry Crumb Cake and the Old Fashioned Chocolate Crumb. The Strawberry one was fluffy and had a jam filling, which was deliciously fruity. The chocolate one was absolutely incredible!! It was a classic "cake donut", meaning that it was super dense in texture. It reminded me of a brownie, however not too overwhelming chocolatey. Even though they say they're open until 3pm, they are clear about being open "until sold out". I asked the guy behind the counter and he said that they will often sell out by 1-2pm in the summer. By 12pm they typically have very limited options left. He also mentioned that the line will often start forming around 9am, a full hour before the place opens. I find that to be a bit extreme... There's very little seating inside (just two small tables), so I highly recommend that you take your donuts to go. If it's a nice day out, walk around the corner and grab a seat at a picnic table! Lastly, they have a huge "WARNING: FOOD ALLERGY" sign on their door that I highly recommend you read if you have any type of food allergies. I like that they're up front about it and suggest you not consume their donuts if you have specific types of allergies. If you're in town visiting, it's definitely worth giving this place a try!

Looking for the perfect marshmallow for the hot chocolate board I was preparing, HVMC definitely came in clutch. They have a variety of graham crackers and drink mixes and, of course, marshmallows. They do have a selection of drinks to choose from in store as well. My friend opted for a hot chocolate and truthfully, she wasn't impressed. But she did help me narrow down my marshmallow choices and I ended up walking away with a salted caramel variety. Even if caramel isn't my favorite sweet, these marshmallows were excellent. Plush and tender, with a not to overwhelming caramel taste to them. My entire party devoured them over their cups of hot cocoa. Honestly, well worth the price imo. And considering the variety, I look forward to trying their other creations!

They also have seating and make different types of S'mores and beverages for in store eating. There were at least two inside tables that I remember. I had an iced chocolate beverage and two S'mores from a couple of S'mores flights that my family shared. The S'mores were well constructed and looked good. I had one with a French Toast vibe and one with chocolate graham crackers and strawberry and vanilla marshmallows. Both were good. The store was very nice. Service was OK. Nothing bad, but the one person out front lacked the enthusiasm and engagement that would take your experience in a specialty store like this to the next level. 4.25 Stars

It's counter service and there was already a bit of a line when we arrived around 7:15am (why were so many people already up and about?! lol). We loved that they had a great variety of options, including many vegetarian options. I went with the egg & cheese sandwich and accidentally ordered it without the greens & sauce (whoops!). However, it was still delicious and satisfying. My husband got the avocado toast which was SUPER filling due to the hummus that was on it. He was only able to finish half of it. We also got a side order of fruit which, to my delight, was a bowl of berries! The fruit is seasonal so the combination might be different depending on what time of year you are visiting. Also, both of our coffees met our standards, which are a bit high these days. So kudos to them on that! The ambiance was absolutely incredible!!! Very well lit with a bright, welcoming atmosphere. We sat near the back of the restaurant (away from all windows), however we still felt like we were being flooded with sunlight. It was wonderful! Definitely recommend coming here to grab breakfast while visiting Beacon!

There are also plenty of tables to sit at if you're dining in. I ordered the Forager Hash, which had a poached egg, asparagus, spinach, mushrooms, peppers, fingerling potatoes, and topprd with maple harissa and paprika aioli. I also got their pumpkin spice latte. My boyfriend got one of their specials, which was Shakshouka, a poached egg dish in a pepper sauce that was served with bread for dipping. Both dishes were so flavorful! We really enjoyed them. You could also tell they made their own pumpkin syrup for the latte. It tasted so good and not overly sweet at all. Highly recommend!

It smells like a bakery should when you walk in. I was surprised seeing bialys on the menu board. They're hard to find, any more. Long ago every Jewish bakery in the Bronx had them. Picked up a couple of bialys, paid, and left. Within minutes I noticed the bag had grease stains. The bialys onions leaked. An old fashioned lined bakery bag would have been a nice touch. We went back and had them put the bag in a plastic bag. I know what's on tomorrow's Breakfast!
