An employee was busy serving another customer but soon after served me. She made friendly conversation. Here are my reviews for what I bought: S'more - 5 stars - I liked the chocolate, marshmallows, and graham cracker of this s'more. Raspberry chocolates - 5 stars - I liked the strong flavor of raspberries in the center of the milk chocolate. Strawberry chocolates - 4 stars - I liked the milk chocolate but thought that the strawberry could taste differently. Chocolate-covered cherries - 5 stars - These cherries and milk chocolate met my expectations and tasted very good. Gummy flower bouquet - 4.5 stars - This flower bouquet was constructed from many pieces of gummies, and I thought that it looked so pretty. The gummies were slightly hard and chewy but tasted good. Mountain Magic - 5 stars - Chunks contained marshmallows, rice, and peanut butter. I definitely taste the peanut butter and really enjoyed it. Peppermint-chocolate marshmallow - 4 stars - A large marshmallow was covered in milk chocolate and covered in peppermint pieces. One without peppermint would have fit my personal preferences better. Hot-cocoa spoon - 4.5 stars - A plastic spoon contained chocolate, marshmallows, and sparkles. I put it in hot milk to melt it. The hot chocolate tasted good. Sugarfina Sparkling Rose Bears - 5 stars - Gummy bears had a slight flavor of rose wine. Chocolate-covered pretzels - 5 stars - Chocolate-covered pretzels are one of my favorites. One pretzel was covered in milk chocolate, and the other pretzel was covered in white chocolate. Buckeyes - 3.5 stars - These buckeyes had tasty milk chocolate but needed a stronger flavor of peanut butter. The employee could not give me either a printed or emailed receipt. My husband paid and said that the total cost was ~$60.

The woman working that day was very friendly, not overbearing, and willing to provide suggestions and recommendations where needed. They offer free samples of their mountain crunch (?) that was light, crunchy, and peanut butter-y. She said it's one of their top sellers and I can understand why. I got an assortment of chocolates from the bulk case ($32/lb) and a few Easter items. I ended up totaling somewhere around $30. The chocolate was fresh and each piece that I had the pleasure of sampling was delicious. If I need a gift or just a mid-day pick me up, I wouldn't hesitate to stop in here.

It's kind of a cross between a whipped cream and buttercream. They have a great assortment of pastries, cookies, cakes and more. Today I bought a Memorial Day cake but seriously considered adding the babka bread, which looks like a long danish. I inquired about the chocolate one and was told it was filled with chocolate and hazelnut. Next time for sure. I can often find an easy parking space around the bakery but if not there is a lot across the street, make sure to still pay via the Go Mobile PGH app. The individual cupcakes are piled high with frosting and so decadent. I also find prices here very fair. They have also recently added a little section to the store with Pittsburgh souvenirs for anyone on Mount Washington visiting the city. The interior is a little dim and dated and could use a refresh imo but the treats are first rate. Pro tip, if you are on the Too Good 2 Go app, they frequently offer a surprise box of leftover pastries from the day. Look them up and sign up for notifications because you will need to be on any drop from them right away or it's gone.

Applelicious sells many flavors of apples and pretzels, including plain chocolate, pecan, cashew, M&Ms, and Reese's Pieces. Their chocolates include buckeyes, cashew turtles, pecan caramel turtles, cinnamon grahams, and Oreo cookies. Through their website, I ordered Buckeyes ($6.95), cinnamon grahams ($2.50), a plain pretzel ($4.50), and a roasted pecan apple ($12.95). UPS shipping cost $11.70. The next day, UPS delivered the package to my house--very fast! Applelicious had packed the correct types of chocolates. The Buckeyes (5 stars) tasted very peanut-buttery, and even my husband commented that he liked them. One cinnamon graham (4.5 stars) was milk chocolate, and the other was white chocolate, and I enjoyed the flavors. The plain pretzel (4.5 stars) was a rod that was covered in a very wide layer of caramel and chocolate. The gourmet apple (3.5 stars) was a Granny Smith apple that was large, crisp, and juicy, and it was covered in caramel, milk chocolate, and pecans. My husband and I did not like having pecans on our apple, but that is the flavor that I had chosen. I should have played it safer and ordered the plain chocolate flavor.

Prices were average. Employees interacted nicely with us. My husband and I both noticed the apple galette, so we bought one of those, as well as peanut-butter blossoms. I rate the apple galette, which is like a pie with a short crust, as 4.5 stars and the cookies, which needed a stronger flavor of peanut butter, as 3 stars. I no longer have a dog (otherwise I would have bought many dog treats here!), so I unfortunately cannot comment on the dog treats.
