Grabbed a box of 4 cupcakes as a sweet treat for after dinner with some family friends later that evening, and they were a hit! Delicious. They also have other pastries which the gal recommended but the cupcakes were calling my name. The inside looked nice and the service was great during my visit. Will be stopping by again next time I'm in town.

When I saw PA Bakery advertising mini King Cakes for Mardi Gras, I was genuinely thrilled. A…read morereasonably sized King Cake felt like a dream come true -- all the fun of the tradition without committing to feeding an entire village. I immediately pre-ordered two mini King Cakes at $5.50 each (total $11), already imagining the moment I'd get to gloat when I found the hidden baby! The mini King Cakes were actually quite generous in size. Easily enough for 3-4 people...although I personally demolished mine in one sitting and have zero regrets. Now for the part that caught me off guard. The plastic baby -- arguably the entire point of a traditional King Cake -- was perched on top instead of hidden inside. I was fully anticipating that moment of excitement that comes from discovering the baby mid-bite, because that's kind of the magic of a King Cake tradition. Without that element, what I ended up with felt more like a very festive brioche-style cinnamon roll wearing Mardi Gras colors than a King Cake. To be clear, it tasted good. The cake itself was soft without being dry, had plenty of cinnamon-esque filling without tipping into overly gooey territory, and was generously finished with frosting and sugary crystals. Flavor-wise, no complaints. But if you're marketing something specifically as a King Cake, the expectation is that the baby is hidden within. Otherwise, it changes the experience entirely. For food safety purposes, there are plenty of creative alternatives -- an edible marzipan baby, a clearly oversized non-choking-hazard version, sticker on the box, etc. -- but the surprise element is part of what makes a King Cake a King Cake. Overall, not a bad experience -- just not quite the Mardi Gras moment I was hoping for. Next year, I'll probably seek out a bakery that leans into the full King Cake tradition...because if I'm chasing the thrill of finding a tiny plastic baby in my dessert, I want to earn that victory properly. If the baby isn't going in the cake, just let me know up front so I can manage my expectations (and my Mardi Gras excitement) accordingly.

I'm a big fan of the Broad Street Market and think it's a must-stop whenever you're exploring…read moreMidtown Harrisburg. Whether you're grabbing lunch, searching for a sweet treat, or just enjoying a stroll through the neighborhood, there's always something worth checking out. A few highlights from my visits: A great mix of food vendors, specialty treats, and local businesses. A strong sense of community that makes every visit feel lively and welcoming. Plenty of options whether you're looking for a full meal, a quick snack, or something to take home. Most vendors accept tap-to-pay, but it's still a good idea to bring some cash just in case. A couple of personal recommendations: Grab a smoothie on a hot summer day for a refreshing pick-me-up. Try an ice cream flight if you're having trouble deciding on just one flavor. Other amenities: Plenty of parking nearby. Public restrooms available. Indoor seating areas for enjoying your food. A courtyard that's perfect for sitting outside when the weather is nice. What I enjoy most about the Broad Street Market is that every visit can be different. You can stop in for a quick bite, spend time browsing the vendors, or simply enjoy the atmosphere and people-watch while enjoying a meal. It's one of Harrisburg's true community gathering places and a spot I recommend to both locals and visitors alike.

The Cameron Street location is the original home of Appalachian Brewing Company (ABC) and is…read moreunrivaled for its ambiance. The building is a former printing plant which has a spacious tap rooms/dining on the first floor and the Abbey Bar (with occasional live music) upstairs. I'm a big fan of ABC for many reasons, not the least of which is their variety of approachable and tasty beer styles for nearly any taste. ABC manages to stay creative with a mix of standard selections with a rotating cast of seasonals--but nothing too exotic. The food has been good in my experience and I confess a particular liking for the pierogies--pretty darn good for this part of PA. Service at this location has been uniformly excellent during all my visits. A couple of mild quirks about the Cameron Street location: first, parking is a bit odd. There's a small lot near the entrance but most parking is near the back of the building. Second, the brewery is on a slightly industrial stretch of Cameron Street. Translation: the neighborhood looks worse than it actually is! ABC runs an excellent small chain of brew pubs (I've visited most of them) but I think the original has a je ne sais quoi that makes it special.

The food in my opinion is a touch above a typical brewery these days. The pierogies and Brotz were amazing and I absolutely love them.

The atmosphere was awesome, and I really love the themes that seem to shout out to through hikers on the Appalachian Trail.
