Even after coming here for well over 10 years, it truly makes me feel like a kid in a candy store…read morewhen I enter. Not only are you greeted by some of the friendliest employees, you're hit with a sensory overload (in all the best ways possible). The decadent smell of chocolate fills your nose & your eyes are drawn to the display cases with literal pieces of edible art. You're going to need a minute- or five- when deciding what you want. Your eyes will tell you to get the best looking while the flavor descriptions will speak for themselves. First & foremost, these artisan chocolates are not only delicious, they're true pieces of art. The owner uses an airbrushing paint style to decorate the shells of the many amazing options. They're made by hand in-house & you can literally see how much effort is put into the product they serve. I love how many different options there are to choose from. Not only is there a great variety, they're always stocked up. Even after coming here for as long as I have, it always seems like there's something new to try. They have some standard flavors like dark chocolate raspberry, strawberry caramel, hazelnut, cappuccino & salted caramel but the true fun lies within looking at the unique flavors. PB & J, bananas foster, key lime pie, passion fruit & Mexican mango are just some to be named. They offer macrons & some of their signature flavors in bar form, as well. There's also a great selection of delicious, freshly-made gelato. Fan of afternoon tea? They host it every Saturday & Sunday with some delicious bites at a reasonable cost. Everything from the amazing customer service to the phenomenal tasting/looking chocolates makes this place a must hit. Any & every time I'm in Clearwater I make sure to get my fix. You shouldn't miss their chocolates if you care about yourself.

The reality was a mediocre-tasting ice cream that melted before I made it to the end of the block. I'm no ice cream expert, but I have to imagine it's the brand or recipe they use since that wasn't my experience from other ice cream spots we visited. The best waffle cone smelled better than it tasted but still got the job done. At the end of the day, the service was quick and friendly from the teen behind the counter, and it got the job done. Frankly, there are better options, but if you're passing by and need a fix, you won't go wrong with Kilwins but it deserves its 3.6 rating.

I was in Clearwater with my wife for a little getaway weekend for our anniversary and one evening…read morewe decided we weren't too hungry, so we started looking for decently rated pizza places, and we were tickled to find Alba Pizza & Cafe. Why were we tickled? Well, Alba is our last name, so we had to try it. It was about a mile and a half walk from our hotel and it was a nice evening so we took the walk. The area around the cafe is dark and relatively quiet, just off the beaten path a bit. The cafe is built into an old house it seems and there is no inside seating. We walked in and met two people, one was the owner and the other was taking our order. We waited outside for our pizza and in about 12 minutes, the owner brought it out. We asked how they came up with the name of the restaurant and he said it is because the family is Albanian, and he seemed to get just as big a kick out of us sharing the same name as the cafe as we did. I wish they sold t-shirts, but hopefully that happens soon. This is not any kind of bias, but I am happy to report that the pizza is outstanding! I'm originally from NY, so I'm a little picky about my pizza and I prefer a Brooklyn style- thin crust, and a little on the crispy side. This pizza was cooked perfectly! The crust was perfectly crisp, but not charred, the sauce was delicious and the cheese was terrific and the best part is the pizza was perfectly balanced. So many places put way too much cheese or sauce on their pizzas, but not Alba, they do it right! I had meatballs on my half of the pizza and they were excellent. I was pleased to learn that Alba has another location in Tampa, and the sister of the Clearwater location's owner runs that one, so we're going to stop in there one of these days as we live about 40 minutes away. To the gentleman who yelled across the street "Best pizza in Clearwater!" when we were about to walk in to Alba, I say: Thank you, and you are right! Alba would also be the best pizza (by far) in Palmetto if they ever wanted to open a location there. Haha. Thanks so much to the staff at Alba, you all are very friendly, and we enjoyed the conversation and the great pizza. We will surely see you again one day soon. Let us know if you ever get any t-shirts in, please.

I placed the order through DoorDash and after the app said it would be ready in 25 min it then updated 20 min later to add another 45 min. When I arrived they looked dead. I spoke with someone who said they also had been waiting forever for their order. I finally received my pizza and was highly disappointed. No crunch, had an off taste to sauce, lacked pepperoni. Was a mix of doughy and chewy. Very disappointed.

For the past few years have been going to Grahame's with what started as a pretty good place to now…read morea crap shoot. The ownership change really affected the quality of the menu items and didn't want to admit it, but I can't walk back this feeling now. Their quesadillas, lousy. The panini's, lackluster. Today I got a smoothie and it's liquid slop. According to the menu it's supposed to have - Pineapple, Mango, Spinach and Banana. I can tell you I tasted mango and pineapple for sure - as it tastes like the Puree I buy from Walmart. No banana and these itty bitty specs of spinach. $9.62 and it was watered down. No thickness, no creaminess (due to lack of banana), and overall a solid 3 out of 10. I will not come back and let my friends know to stop going. 1 out of 5 stars.

They also have a soup of the day and a daily special and their prices are reasonable. Friday's special was 2 tacos, beef or chicken, or you could have it as a salad. I ordered it as a salad and was not disappointed. I also picked up a greek salad for my coworker. The gentleman running the front was super nice and whomever is in the back making the food was super fast. You can also call in your order in advance but I didn't this time. While I had lunch, they also serve breakfast. I will definitely be back to try a smoothie and other lunch items.

I ordered a gluten- free naked cake with real flowers for my friend's baby shower and it was gorgeous and so tasty. A word to the wise: I saw a review below criticizing DCD for keeping their cupcakes in a cooler, thus making the icing hard. I believe they are required to keep items with perishable ingredients in a cooler, so it would actually be a red flag if you didn't see them in a cooler. (When you go to Publix and you see cupcakes out on the floor, realize that the icing is likely made of oil. Yet the carrot cake bars, etc., are in a cooler because they contain real cream cheese.) The best way to enjoy a DCD cupcake is to let it come to room temp before enjoying. In Florida, this takes about a minute. Great spot - you won't be disappointed!
