I must have spoken too fast or too low, but when she got frustrated, she said, "Stop. What do you want??" As we ate, I watched her interactions with others and, from afar, she was enjoying NOTHING! BUT. We loved the pick-your-own pastry layout! Food and drinks were fantastic!! (Hopefully this was a case of one person's poor attitude on a single day. Since everything else was so good, I'd like to think that one issue is the easiest to change.). We will go back!

It was a cold winter day and I just needed good food and a break from working. The lemon bar was superb, just the right amount of tang with the powdered sugar evening out the taste. I wish it would have kept while traveling, I would have brought a bunch back home! The chicken tenders tasted "fancy" and the homemade ranch was amazing. I got extra with endorsement by Cailyn.

The gluten free brownie, I ordered to warm up, they did not warm up. It was dry but flavor was good. $22 for a slice of cake, the cake itself had good taste, but the add glitter to make it fancy, almost nothing of caramel inside (which was good) , a lot of buttercream!! You basically pay for buttercream, I do not think it worth it.

Stopped in this past Saturday. Was told about this place by a friend. Being from the North East and…read moreknowing what authentic is, I want to say the food was ok. I got a chicken parm and a meatball parm a few cookies, an espresso and an Italian hot chocolate.. My question, like someone else had wrote below about the bakery goods. The place is way to small to make in house. Most of the cake slices and mini treats are obviously pre packaged. So I wonder where they get the goods from and how long they sit before they renew. The service was good. Counter help was polite and pleasant. I grew up in the 70s and 80s in the North East and remember the smells of the food, bread and baked goods being made IN HOUSE. Stacco House had none of this. If I was blindfolded walking in I would never know I was in an Italian Bakery. It had more of a smell of a standard coffee house. Stacco passed, but in a way that was sort of disappointing. If you are going to call yourself authentic cuisine maybe try a little harder then to just have some Dean Martin playing in the background. It was almost Olive garden-ish. Sorry if I am offending anyone but when you have had real, you know what real is. Also, the nail in the coffin..... The business card. The Italian flag, from the flag pole out is green white red. The card has it on an angel as red white green. If the flag is draped vertical, green is on the top.

Helen makes the most incredible pastries. I stopped by for one of the chocolate croissants, but they were already sold out. So, I snagged the last blueberry scone and it was heavenly, light and fluffy, perfectly sweet with lots of blueberries. I LOVED it. (I may be making a frequent stop here, it's that good.) Helen is efficient and friendly. I didn't have any trouble finding street parking around 10 a.m.

I have a family member that lives 9 hours away and raves about this place. She always goes to Helen's when she is in town or I bring Helen's creations to her. Coffee is just ok in my opinion, but I am also not big on coffee in general. I'm big on carbs and sugar! Heads up: only one or two people can fit into the shop at a time.

Harvest market on 116th St. in Carmel, has great prices on some of their produce! Given that this…read moregrocery is more of upscale, I am always pleasantly surprised. At the front of the store, when you enter by the produce, there are always fresh items on sale. If you sign up in their app for your phone, you can clip coupons and get even better deals. Many times the produce at the front of the store is cheaper than you can find at Meijer or Kroger. Right now, they have Florida strawberries for $1.50 with a clipped coupon, asparagus for $2.50 a pound, and cherry tomatoes for $1.50 a container. All of these prices beat Meijer.... I know, because I was just there! What I also like about Harvest Market is there are plenty of employees walking around the store and restocking items. It is always very easy to find someone to answer a question. This is unlike some grocery stores where you have to go to Customer Service to get any help and then wait in a line to reach the counter. Don't forget Harvest Market for your grocery needs!
