You know, cause nothing says braces tightening like chomping on some chocolate covered chips. I had such a high metabolism back then. Well, it was not a big surprise to see the A Chocolate Dream is still in business in the sleepy town of Belmont. It's been around for a long time and even though we are in a recession, it looks like candy stores are still safe. If you are in Belmont center and want something sweet, treat yourself to A Chocolate Dream.

I love this tiny candy shop and its very kind owners! It's a go to spot if you want a Boston-based…read morechocolate gift, but they do have other imported goods The woman behind the counter had us try two yummy samples (chocolate covered oranges and a peanut butter cup). I really liked the chocolate covered oranges in particular! I ended up buying chocolate covered ginger and a tea-coffee flavor set of five. The ginger isn't too sharp when you bite into it since it's been candied, and the earl grey chocolate bonbon (which I wanted to try since I saw it online) was sold out individually but still sold in the five flavor sampler. The jasmine tea white chocolate rose was also delicious and the tea flavor was surprisingly rich. It's not cheap but it's well worth a nice gift for yourself or someone else!

They even sold kits to let you make your own Halloween candy themed charcuterie board which was such a cute idea and we loved getting to put together. I spoke with the owner and they visit local events and set up but you can also hire them for parties or gatherings and they bring their truck and set up a mobile candy bar. They were super sweet and the candy was fantastic... hopefully they do some more holiday boards coming up!

It hurts to write a break-up review. Maybe I'll get Laufey to write the song for this…read more This used to be one of my favorite places for croissants in the Boston area. Now it's quite underwhelming. The apricot croissant is now some smaller glorified danish that has no richness or personality. The plain croissant is quite "bready" now, whereas it used to be light and buttery. I have a sneaking suspicion that they have a different croissant supplier now. What saved this spot from a lower grade is that the pain au raisin and chausson aux pommes are passable. Also a save is that they still offer various French products, from soaps to cheeses to canned goods. I have to find a new French bakery in the area.

Luckily, I visited on a weekday because I can only imagine how packed this place gets on the weekends. They had such an amazing selection of beautiful pumpkins, and I wished I could have brought some home with me. They also have a wonderful little market with fresh, healthy, locally sourced products, which was an added bonus. Such a great experience and exactly the kind of pumpkin patch I wish we had back home.

This farm is amazing. The BEST apple cider donuts I've ever had. We went on a Saturday and they had…read morejust opened the potato blasters. We've never done it before and it was a BLAST! $1 each try so we each did $5. They had a cute area with a little town made of wood and skeletons doing funny things that you could take pics with like a saloon, jail, checkers, and mortuary. We also took a picture of the iconic pumpkin wall that is all over IG. Then we got in line for the donuts. So hot, fresh and cinnamony and cakey! The line moves fast. We also wondered into the grocery area. Really picture perfect fruits and vegetables like if Whole Foods had a farm, this is what it would look like. It's beautiful. This is literally the best farm I've ever been to. I would definitely come back to this one if I'm ever in the area in October again.

I don't know if the staff were just having a bad morning or maybe there were customers with bad attitudes before me, but dang. There was no one behind me and I wasn't fully sure what kind my friends would want. I wanted to peruse some. I was in and out in about 5 minutes, but the woman behind the counter seemed bothered that I was asking questions about the muffins like the flavors. The display case doesn't have them listed by the muffins. There's a flavor board behind the counter which is helpful, but it would be better if they were each labeled somewhat so you could see and pick them. I asked 2 questions overall and panicked and just picked 2 other flavors hoping they would be okay, but it wasn't as good of an experience as last month and left me a bit flustered. I'm never expecting over the top super happy, springy first thing in the morning but rolling your eyes and acting exhausted from 2 questions just seemed like a bit much for a happy and bright muffin spot.

I am religious when it comes to Ginseng and this place has it all…read more I LOVE THIS PLACE. I strictly purchase Authentic Korean Ginseng and this is one of the only places that I can actually walk in and have a hard time deciding what to purchase. I would say without hesitation that this place has the very best selection of authentic Korean Red Ginseng including but not limited to Tonic Gold (my top choice), Extract Powder Teas, Extract Extra and much much more. They also have a lot of men and women personal products and vitamins as well. The store is very well kept, clean, organized and stocked to the brim with Ginseng Products. I was impressed with the salesman, He was attentive and very informative. He had brochures available to the customers filled with product knowledge. I also over heard him explaining in depth to curious passersby. I purchased the 30 pack of Korean Red Ginseng Tonic Gold which cost$183.00 which is a great bargain as far as Authentic Red goes. The 30 pack comes packaged extremely conveniently. You receive 30 individual 1.35 fl. oz pouches, packed 10 to a box and the 3 boxes are then neatly placed in a larger fancy gold box which is very impressive. This Tonic has a very high concentrate of Oriental (Korean Red) Ginseng Root Extract, a whopping 4,200mg. This particular Korean Red Ginseng Tonic also includes other great extracts which is the reason I prefer this over any other. It also includes 2,000 mg of Jujube Fruit extract, 500 mg of Agaricus Blazai Extract, 215 mg of Angelica Gigas Nakai Root Extract, and 20 mg of Mojave Yucca Root Extract Powder, Bearded hedgehog Mushroom Extract Powder and Shitake Mushroom Extract Powder. So as you can see for a little over $6.00 per individual packet (1.35 fl oz) the value is easily there. I was lucky this time, as there was a promotion going on, if you spent $200.00 you would receive a small bottle of Extra Ginseng Extract worth $30.00. Since my purchase was only $183.00 i was $17.00 shy of the free gift, but they were nice enough to put it in my bag as they cashed me out. Like I said THIS PLACE IS THE BEST !!! I easily give Korean Red Ginseng a Solid 5 Stars
