Since it was Father's Day I treated myself to the Peanut Butter Heart Attack Sundae and wow, it was full of Peanut Butter flavor. If you're a nut for Peanut Butter, you'll go nutty for this terrific sundae that peanut butter sauce is amazing. They have about 20 ice cream flavors from Buckeye Fever, to Raspberry Sorbet and coffee to s'mores, it's really a good selection. They also have 30 soft serve ice cream flavors including the famous KI Blue (KI stands for King's Island, remember King's Island during their Smurf years?), which I'm totally trying next time for nostalgia reasons only. They have dole whip, I've heard their Ice Cream Nachos are very good (they have a cult following). They have slushies and smoothies and their rendition of the flurry, called "The Cyclone". Just walk up, ring the bell, grab a seat (seating is limited outside, there is no indoor seating) and wait for the staff to come who will order on a tablet and within minutes your order is ready. The price is good, the scoops are massive (look at my raspberry sorbet picture, that is the kiddie 1 scoop) and make the cost worth it. Enjoy this local of locals, it's awesome. Just wish the drive thru wasn't right next to the sitting area with no wall or fence or railing or nothing, with kids it felt a little unsafe, but hey at least it will teach your kids to pay attention. Sweet Retreat is sweet enjoy, check it out and enjoy...

Just add a baguette to the basket and you got a meal. My very favorite soup is the Peach soup...only available during peach season. I can't wait for peach season to arrive again. Wine selection is the best in the area...according to me that is. Wine is important cause I like to drink it. It's no wonder I can't keep the wine cellar populated. But I will keep trying! Bakery is top shelf as well. King Cakes during Mardi Gras, lemon raspberry cake during summer, and everything else. Why bake if you can buy? This isn't shopping - it's an experience. So what's keeping you from trying it out...go ahead and head out now. YOu can thank me later.

And just like that, I walked out with fresh Pączki and a little history lesson! Huge thanks to Ashley's for the delicious goodies and the kindness. It's why I keep coming back.

My sisters and I went to Vals bakery for breakfast on a recent birthday trip. We heard great things…read moreabout the bakery, and I had it on my bucket list for quite a while. I was even more drawn in by the fact that they specialize in Matcha drinks. I think we ordered about 1/3 of the desserts in the display case. One of my sisters is gluten-free, so she got a gluten-free cinnamon roll from a bakery they they partner with to supply their gluten-free desserts. I forgot to take a photo of the name cards, so I don't remember exactly what everything was called. We tried the raspberry Matcha croissant, the cozy croissant, a honey croissant cookie (basically a cookie made of croissant dough), a cinnamon roll, focaccia, a strawberry mascarpone croissant, a Caprese danish type pastry, a garlic cream cheese danish type pastry, a banana bread iced chai latte, and a strawberry Matcha latte. The pastries were all 10/5 stars-- truly. The Caprese one was topped with the best pesto Ive ever had. The garlic cream cheese one could be eaten for breakfast every day. The loxxy croissant was stuffed with smoked salmon and cream cheese and was so tasty that my sister who doesn't eat seafood, liked it and said she could eat a whole one herself. Everything bagel seasoning created a crunch on top that was just perfect. The strawberry mascarpone was a personal favorite for me. It just was so perfectly executed and the flavors we're all on point. It had strawberry cheesecake vibes, but the filling was lighter since it was mascarpone. The raspberry Matcha croissant was actually one of my least favorite items, though I did still really like it. It seemed like it was filled with both blackberries and raspberries, but I didn't mind. It was just significantly sweeter than the other desserts and maybe a bit much for me. However, I finished it the next day and really enjoyed every last piece of sugar. I'm thinking maybe in contrast to the other items, I just wasn't liking this one as much, but when it was standing on its own, it was great! The cinnamon roll was everything a cinnamon roll should be! It was even better because they warmed it up for us. The honey croissant cookie was simple and satisfying. I would eat those anytime. Sometimes it's nice to just enjoy a more simple dessert. The focaccia was some of the best any of us had ever had. I tried my sister's chai and thought it was really good, albeit too sweet for me to have ordered myself . Sadly my Matcha was too sweet as well, so I'm not sure I would order another. I was disappointed about that part since it's something the bakery is known for. The outside and inside of the bakery are both really cute! Everything is decorated nicely. They sell a little bit of boutique style clothing and some branded goods near the front. The staff taking our order were honestly not the friendliest, but I will chock that up to us being annoying, taking too long to decide which 10 items we wanted. We let everyone who came in after us go before us, but I'm sure we were still annoying. The staff who took over later in our visit when we went back up to order even more drinks and pastries were very friendly! Overall, a fantastic visit. I am sad to not live closer, but actually that's probably a good thing for my wallet and pant size. If you are in Dayton and considering a visit to Val's bakery, do it. Truly, no way you will regret it!

The food and drinks definitely lived up to the hype: * Coffee: Solid - I had a regular latte (breve) with an extra shot. * Caprese Croissant: Absolutely delicious. You can tell they use high-quality, fresh ingredients. * Matcha Croissant: The matcha itself was overly sweet which is part of the outer coat of the croissant. The inside was filled with cream and jam that balanced perfectly--you could actually taste the fruit and cream without it being overly sweet. A quick note on sweetness: I don't typically eat a lot of sweets. If you have a major sweet tooth, you'll definitely enjoy these.
