After my boyfriend and I had sat down she then came over to double check on how we were doing and to make sure I was okay. She is the nicest and sweetest ever! (Pun intended) The prices are also super readable. I got a small soft serve with whip and chocolate sauce and it was $3. My boyfriend got a small hard ice cream with some toppings and his was $5. I love the modern interior, and the fact that they were very well staffed. That's a big issue nowadays in food service, a lot of managers/companies always want their labor costs to be as low as possible and honestly it shows in the quality of the product, but not here! I hope they keep up the good work and this place stays open for years to come!

They will get kinks out after a bit. Kudos for a great start To the business- as someone who runs ops for mult kitchens etc.. put some signs for order here, pay here, pick up here. There were some confused people. Happened 3x in 10 min we were asked if this is where you order and it was not. lol Also a ticket rail or KDS screen would help for the registers so you don't have to stack tickets and watch them blow away. (Toast makes kitchen display screens but with ice cream may get sticky messy when people touch) The ordering at one and paying at another is slightly confusing especially since she is typing it in the system and creates 2 bottle necks instead of 1 Best of luck, we will be back

She took all of my ideas and helped me refine them into the perfect dessert display. The final result was beyond anything we could have imagined--hundreds of stunning mini desserts paired with a gorgeous custom lace cutting cake that was almost too beautiful to cut! Every single flavor was delicious, every detail was thoughtfully executed, and everything looked absolutely picture-perfect on our dessert table. Our guests could not get enough--the compliments have not stopped! Beyond the desserts, Valerie helped with decor rentals, which tied everything together beautifully and fit perfectly with our vintage theme.

Even though small, each cupcake is a solid bite, with just the right amount of filling and frosting. My recommendation, is that unless you have a solid dislike of a particular flavor, just go for a surprise variety. I guarantee you will miss out on some unique flavors that may not have been chosen by how you feel at a particular moment. For example, we had a surprise chocolate chip pancake cupcake, with the miniest of pancakes on top of the frosting swirl with a maple something in the middle.Yum I also love the very simple cherry cupcake- with a cherry filling and drizzle. My daughter also had these cupcakes as a tower at her wedding a few years ago, and after everyone was full from dinner, these were the perfect little thing to munch on before, during, and after hitting the dance floor. The professionalism and perfection that go into each cupcake is to be seen, and tasted, in person.

My only issue was that I paid for a pre-packaged box of a selection of praline and truffles with alcohol and only one out of the sixteen pieces were of the expected kind.

For a so called luxury brand, they really need to improve their game in quality control and post-sale service.

"I've been eating chocolate Looking up and out on the land…read moreIt's just one stop short of heaven Oh, I must be in Switzerland" (Bellamy Brothers) When we walked by the newish Läderach store specializing in Swiss Chocolates, I presumed it was named for a Swiss word. But I was wrong because Läderach is the family name of the company's owners! Be prepared when you walk past their front window and into the store, because you will see an eye-popping display of chocolate slabs speckled with all sorts of goodies. Those inviting slabs are "FrischSchoggi" and there are twenty types available. So, what in the name of the Swiss Alps is a FrischSchoggi? Well, it's a Swiss German term meaning "fresh chocolate," and refers to large, hand-broken slabs of artisan chocolate. The slabs are poured onto cooling tables and snapped by hand into irregular shards rather than neat, molded bars. To make them even better, they feature things like roasted nuts, freeze-dried fruits, and caramel. When we walked into the store, we were greeted by Anthony who had a fantastic personality and a tray of FrischSchoggi samples. Now, we all know that all chocolates are not made equal and some are better than others while some are a LOT better than others. The Läderach chocolates we sampled were so amazing we knew we'd be leaving the premises with a bag of something. The FrischSchoggi samples were so thick that even a small sized sample was a lot of chocolate to savor. They sell over 100 varieties of chocolate. Besides those incredible FrischSchoggi slabs, they offer pralines, truffles, and specialty boxes. We picked up a specialty box of 24 mini FrischSchoggi squares -three each of eight varieties with assorted mix-ins like hazelnuts, almonds, blackberry and raspberry, salted caramel, orange, pistachios, and milk. I had my first mini FrischSchoggi last night- a heavenly square of chocolate with Hazelnuts. Seriously, it was one of the best chocolates this chocolate loving Yelper has ever had. Price? Well, as you might suspect this is a pricey store. But trust me on this, their quality sure supported their price.

Molly's Sweet Spot has been on my radar since before they even opened, but it took me a few weeks…read moreto get there for myself. In that time, my anticipation and expectations only grew. Still, after finally visiting, I was more than satisfied. The space is very bright and the treats are nicely showcased. Everyone working was friendly and very low pressure while I took a moment to look over all of the options. I was there within fifteen minutes of them opening on a Sunday, and everything was abundant then, but I know the cinnamon rolls go extremely quickly! So that does bring me to the sweets. I went with an assortment of things. I chose four donuts, two Boston cream, an almond crunch, and a cookies & cream. Each donut was very well prepared, without a trace of grease. They were very airy/pillowy, and the dough itself had great flavor. The Boston cream stood out. The filling was fresh, light, and didn't taste artificial like many custard filled donuts do. I appreciate that both filled varieties (the cookies & cream was filled as well) were split, which allowed for more filling much closer to the edges. More cream in every bite, which also made them easier to share/split. All three donuts were delicious, though. The cinnamon rolls really are as big as your head. I think cinnamon rolls vary a lot in style and it really depends on personal preference. These were denser, less bready, more like a fresher "Cinnabon". This bun had one of the gooey-est centers I've seen in a long time and the frosting wasn't cloyingly sweet, which was great. I also tried the cookie dough mousse cup, which had a base layer of chocolate cake. The mousse itself was extremely rich, a bit heavy for me, but very good. The texture was light and it was a well executed mousse, but come on, it's cookie dough mousse! Had it not been intensely cookie dough flavored/forward that would have been far more of a problem. It was excellent, just not something I was able to eat a lot of. The cake base was light and moist, and a brilliant counter. I felt the prices were definitely fair, and pretty standard. They usually have made cakes in the case, but also offer a lot of custom cake options. They looked gorgeous. And they also make a variety of other pastries and baked goods, like muffins, cake slices and cupcakes, cookies, and more. They have been switching it up and getting creative week to week. I was really impressed with my first visit to Molly's Sweet Spot, and highly recommend you check them out for yourself. I think they have big things in their future.

The store looked like the other store I went to in West Hartford; I'm guessing they all have the same look. I ordered through the app and picked up. The cookies were hot and fresh when I got there. The service was friendly and the store was clean. As you probably know, they have new flavors that come out weekly. This time I got: Coconut Cream Pie: buttery cookie filled with coconut pie filling, whipped cream, and coconut flakes. I like this because of the coconut flavor, also the pie filling was decadent. Brookie: half chocolate cookie and half semi-sweet chocolate chip cookie; a very good combo. Chocolate Milkshake: chocolate cookie with chocolate sprinkles, chocolate mousse, and whipped cream. I loved this one, the mousse was so creamy. Milk Chocolate Chip: a classic cookie. Can't go wrong with it, batter was great. It's very similar to the semi-sweet chocolate chunk cookie but with smaller milk chocolate chips. Overall, the cookies were large and tasted delicious; service was great. I'm definitely a fan of Crumbl.

I specifically ordered this as a birthday treat and added the Happy Birthday sticker and bow because I wanted it to look special. After I ordered and paid, I was told they were out of the boxes and asked if putting it in a bag was okay. I said yes, not really thinking much of it at the time. What I was handed was a cookie in a paper bag, and the chocolate was literally melting and soaking through the bag. If you sell single cookies and offer customers the option to add birthday gift packaging, you should have appropriate packaging available--or at minimum offer another box that will safely hold the cookie. Putting a warm, chocolate-covered cookie into a paper bag that it immediately starts melting through is not an acceptable substitute.
