It was our first time here; we were staying in East Aurora and driving to our parents' house about…read more45 minutes away, where there is nothing to eat besides pizza. (It's in the country!) So we picked up a classic Chicken Pot Pie to have for dinner. It was one of the best we've ever had! And the staff was so nice. They also have smaller pies and lunch deals, like getting a salad with one, or soup. They had some fresh chili that day too. We can't wait to return in the future and try more pies!

I don't know what I expected when I entered Mr. Pot Pie today, so I'll try to clue you in. First of…read moreall, there was not a lot of product in the store. A small amount of baked goods were spaced out across the expanse of the store. There was a freezer case full of pies, and along the tables we saw packages of shortbread cookies. Everything in the store was beige. Nothing was elegant. Everything looked common. We did not buy anything, so we can't comment on how the product tastes. Perhaps I was there on an off day, I just didn't see anything that said please take me home.

Came here for a work lunch with a provider who happens to be a friend. We have been DREAMING about…read morethis place since we set the date a few weeks ago, so expectations were high and thankfully, this place delivered. We walked in knowing immediately that we were going to have to share. Last time she was here, she had the Six and confessed that she wasn't sure she could ever bring herself to order anything else. So, naturally, we had to get it. Mortadella, fig jam, banana peppers, ricotta, and arugula. I know. It sounds like someone opened the refrigerator and said, "Let's just see what happens." But somehow, those bold, strong flavors work SO well together. It was definitely a messy sandwich, but you know you're in good company when there's a giant stack of napkins between you and you're both laughing while trying to keep the fillings from escaping. I also knew we had to try the Noons. It's basically a focaccia-style pizza, which is exactly as wonderful as it sounds. This one didn't have a description on the menu, but staff said he's been calling it "Figgy Piggy." Figs, prosciutto, and caramelized onions. Buffalo friends, I'm telling you, you NEED to try this. And then came the bakery treats. We decided we needed three because apparently neither of us believes in moderation when pastries are involved. Later that night, I dove into my double chocolate cookie, and WOW. I was very impressed. I'm pretty sure they use some dark or bittersweet chocolate because it wasn't overly sweet. The chocolate flavor was rich and perfect, and the texture was chef's kiss. My friend had the strawberry shortbread, which she absolutely loved. She said it tasted like she was eating cheesecake in cookie form, and honestly, I don't think you could give a better description than that. So yes, I am officially inviting everyone in Buffalo to come here. They have some tables inside and a couple outside, making this the perfect spot for a lunch date, a catch-up with a friend, or simply making questionable decisions about how many pastries you "need."

Once you walk in the aura is filled with pleasant smells of fresh bread and pastries.

It seemed like they were missing a few item and ultimately we just de My friend left with a loaf of bread and slight optimism about trying them again.

I realized that while I'm in Allentown often, it seems not after 12 noon on Thursday, Friday,…read moreSaturday or Sunday. I say this as I came across the Sweet Temptations booth this past weekend. I asked when she was opening the store that I have been eyeing for ages. Well over once a week, as I pass by there many times a week. She said they are open. And have been for a while. I picked up some popcorn, which was very good and I'd happily eat it again. I sampled some of her cookies and other things she had on the table. They all tasted great. I can't wait to try more, but I'll have to stop by Thur-Sun after 12 noon. But they are open into the evenings many days, great for the Allentown restaurant and bar crowd. Pick up a frozen treat this summer or a cookie instead of a grilled cheese from just down the road. Nice to have choices like that on Allen. If you have a specific thing you want to pick up I'd call in advance to make sure she has it that day or can make it for you. But if you are like me and are content to browse and see what strikes your fancy from the case, you can pop in anytime she's open. Street parking.

I absolutely love that Blue Eyed Baker opened a location in Hamburg. And what I love, even more, is…read morethat they offer vegan/gluten free options. The offerings change daily based on what they've had time to create and what has already sold. The scones are wonderful, my fav so far has been the orange cranberry but the blueberry lemon seems like their most popular flavor. I've also tried the cookies & muffins. Though I prefer the scones quite a bit more. I find the prices to be quite high. Cost is $5.50 per scone, or more. Then once you add on tax and a tip you've already dropped $13-$15 for just two scones. Last time I bought two scones, a cupcake, and a cookie and it was $35 (and only 1 scone & 1 cookie were vegan). There are quite a few tables inside to stop and have a meal. Though after looking at the menu it seems there's only 1 vegan option and for me, it's not worth the price. Parking can be a challenge as you'll have to park in the main lot which can fill up, especially during peak hours. The last time I tried to stop in, the lights were on, the sign said open, but the door was locked. I knocked on the door several times- a worker saw me but never came over to open the door. Very strange.

They use Italian meringue buttercream on their cakes and cupcakes which is something no other bakery does and it's the best frosting option in my opinion! The bagels are delicious and fresh! The staff is always super friendly and helpful if you don't know what you want! If you order food and wait they have a board telling you how long the wait is going to be.

The associate was most generous and helpful. Now for the pie tasting....yes. It was hands down the best pot pie you can get locally. You can actually see and taste peas, carrots, onion and chicken, not just a pile of glop. It reminded us of grandma's chicken ala king back in the day.
