I originally wanted to try the black sesame chocolate croissant but the person taking care of me said they were the first to sell out, so next time I'll be coming right when they open. The associates taking care of me were kind and patient. Ube Smores Cinnamon Roll: 3/5 This cinnamon roll was HUGE and HEAVY. I must say that it tasted pretty darn good. The frosting wasn't too sweet, the bread was soft and you can tell it proofed perfectly. I also like how the brown sugar was a bit crunchy! The only thing that didn't hit for me was that it didn't taste like ube or smores ones bit. It was purple and beautiful but I didn't get the nutty taste of ube. Then they had a toasted marshmallow on top but I couldn't taste any other marshmallow flavor in the roll. They also had a biscoff cookie instead of a graham cracker which was fine but it was not giving ube, marshmallow or graham cracker. For a normal cinnamon roll it was great though. Crème brûlée donut: 3/5 The crunchy exterior was top tier and done very well. The caramel could have been cooked a little longer to get that amber color along with the warmer taste I was looking for. The bread of of the donut was okay. A little denser than I thought it would be and the cream wasn't sweet enough despite the vanilla beans I saw in there. Strawberry Shortcake Cookie: 2/5 The base cookie is really good. Soft and gigantic, but the elements making it strawberry shortcake were just too sweet for me and the cookie itself was undercooked and the white chocolate was way too sweet. I did like the outside coating of the strawberry shortcake was pretty good! Overall it was a good experience but if it looks sweet just know it really is.

I finally got the chance to try Ngot Baked Goods at Naga Tea in Valrico. I'd heard about their…read moredelicious pastries through my friend, Rachel M. Well, they just happened to be dropping off a few of their popular items at both Naga Tea locations on Valentine's Day. How perfect was that? The Valrico location is practically around the corner from where I live. They couldn't have timed it any better. I was all in. I wanted to try them all. Everything looked absolutely delicious. I ended up getting the ube s'mores cookie and the ube milk bread cinnamon roll. There were instructions on how to warm up the roll. It heated up perfectly in the microwave. The ube milk bread was the star of this cinnamon roll. Actually, I loved every ingredient. The ube cinnamon swirls were gooey & buttery inside. The glaze on top was sweet, but not too overpowering. It was way better than a Cinnabon cinnamon roll. I'd totally it again. The ube s'mores cookie was just as amazing. I had it for breakfast the following day. Don't judge me. LOL! This cookie was topped with a toasted marshmallow. It reminded me of the s'mores brownies from my favorite Ubelicious mail order bakery. I was kicking myself for not getting the London Fog cookie made with Earl Grey tea. I'm hoping there is a next time. I'm also hoping that I can one day try their cube croissants and cruffins. Please continue to deliver pastries to Naga Tea, or to more places across the Bay. What a great partnership that would be! There's nothing better than a freshly pulled espresso boba with one of these delicious croissant creations. It was a great Valentine's Day treat.

The pastel colors, spacious turf areas for play , picnic tables, and friendly staff make it feel like a vintage ice cream dream. The banana split was great , you get to choose from 3 scoops, fresh banana, classic sauces, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. Generous, delicious, and made with care. I prefer my ice cream a little less creamy, but still a delicious treat. Best of all, the pricing is very reasonable for ice cream . Just like our local favorite in Tampa, this spot delivers that timeless Dairy Joy Magic, simple, sweet, and the perfect way to end a sunny Florida day.

I've always wanted to do something like this, so we drove about an hour north from Tampa to this location out in the farm area.

Lots of food vendors and music performance. We arrived closer to sun down and walked around to food booths to see what kinds of vendors were. Service was great for Saturday night, not too busy so the lines weren't crazy long. We had a good time.

The staff were extremely friendly and patient as I had not clue what to order. I ended up getting a scoop of their deepest darkest chocolate secret and a scoop of the marshmallows cookies and caramel. My boyfriend ordered the caramelized bananas with peanut butter and honey and refused to share more than a bite and it was outstanding. The flavors are all made in house and extremely delicious. You can taste the quality and care that goes into the ice cream. As well as the quality of their ingredients. They also sell dessert bars which honestly looked out of this world but we did not have room left. The pricing here is extremely reasonable for the size and quality you get. Parking is tight as it is a few spots right off a main road on either side. But there is a small parking lot a bit further down. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating here but it is a must try if in the area!

Key line was a great flavor for regular ice cream. No clue if they offer real ingredients or corn syrup but it's a clean, fresh location and you get a triangle of cone on the side, which is great. This is a place we'll stop when driving by and craving ice cream but nowhere we've found in the area is somewhere that's dairy fresh fantastic with real whipped cream. I do like how you get to try the flavors with a real spoon provided.
