Nothing great or spectacular about the place, but their donuts are so good. The donuts are slightly different from what my husband and I are accustomed to. The place is a bit cramped, only has a few small tables, and the line of customers could easily be out the door at times. The counter was staffed by three teenagers or young adults. The donut selection was small but enough to please the young and old. We're new in the area so we thought we'd give it a try and ordered 4 donuts for $8 -- glazed, chocolate cinnamon, chocolate creme, and sugar twist. They were all delicious! They do not offer a half dozen special but mentioned that they do have a dozen special. I forgot to ask what that special was. Next time.

I liked the raspberry bismark donut and filling but can do without the bland, white frosting. Same for the cherry pie squares. I pulled off the top of it. I did not like the apple one at all, bland, mushy filling, and that white frosting. I would still stop in to try some other things. Staff was friendly.

First of all, I was very excited that the restaurant was going to do something like this in the…read moresmall little town that we live in! This was a perfect place to have high tea. The crepes were delicious as they usually are here, but the sweets were ok with the exception of the scone being fantastic. There were a lot of great tea options but they did run out of the mango green tea one. I understand it was the first time they were doing something like this, but it's very misleading to charge customers extra because you serve a double serving on a tray and saying you can't do a single one. If you are advertising $55 a person, it should be that regardless of your partying being an odd number. It is very unfair to force people to pay an additional amount when there is space to do a single serving. This also makes the single person very uncomfortable, like a person who isn't a mother, but maybe an aunt or friend. What if you lost your mother and you wanted to have tea by yourself, you have to pay $110?! I think our waitress also misspoke when she explained the thing that we would be charged per person and then later telling us that we had to pay for the two servings because they couldn't split them. To me even if you couldn't split the tray, it seems like the thing to do on Mother's Day is to give the other setting free. It's soured my experience.

Unfortunately, the customer service wasn't. There were three employees working--one younger woman and two older women. One of the older employees looked annoyed that she even had to help me. I had a couple of questions and made a quick call to my grandmother to confirm which flavor she wanted. When I returned to the counter, everyone ignored me for a few minutes until the younger employee finally came over to help. It made for a strange and unwelcoming experience. Overall, I'd return because the cakes are high quality and taste great, but I hope the customer service improves.

I drove up and loved the spacious parking lot. Walking in, the bakery was well lit and clean, and a bit overwhelming. They had so many kinds of baked goods, including some Dutch specialties like banket. (I honestly have no idea what that is but I know it's a Dutch pastry.) You can order 2, 3, 5, or 12 tenders at a time, and you can get them as a combo (with fries and a drink) or just by themselves. I opted for two tenders, one plain and one with original dry rub which is kind of like a ranch flavor. I also ordered a Diet Coke. The food didn't take too long to come out, and the tenders were hefty and super crispy. I liked the dry rub, but I think I'd just go with plain next time because they have the most delicious honey mustard. The Diet Coke was also super crispy and this was such a nice snack. They also have a menu of breakfast options like egg sandwiches, bagels, avocado toast, etc. The lunch menu is rounded out with salads, sandwiches, and mac and cheese. If I lived nearby I think I'd be a regular here!

Wish we could, but we keep trying to go there to experience their baked goods, but they have NEVER been open - and we've tried each day of the week during all seasons.

First off, I have to give a shoutout to the owner--he was incredibly friendly and even let my girlfriend sample some fudge. The store had an endless variety of both new and old-school candies to choose from. They even had this really cool jelly bean machine with a wide assortment of flavors to bag up. Before leaving, I made sure to grab some treats to share with my family too! I can't wait to come back in the summer to see what new goodies they'll have.

Or...perhaps even for the days when you are? Maybe it's ice cream in town and candy back at the vacation rental. Sweet Haven ticks all the boxes: various small candy in bulk; taffy in bulk; old-fashioned packaged candy; higher-end chocolates; Jelly Bellys; and of course FUDGE. It's a dangerous and delightful place. I'm not sure about the prices. This stuff *seems* expensive, but since you don't buy an armload of candy very often (do you??), it's hard to tell. So just go ahead and treat yourself (and your kids I guess, but mostly you, because sugar is bad for kids) and see whether you can make it last beyond the journey home at the end of the trip.

He said these are hands-down one of the two best restaurants for pancakes he has ever been to. (The other is in Washington DC). The Klompen cakes with blueberries were light, fluffy, and delicious. I even had half of one of his (he ordered three!) and was incredibly impressed. I got the veggie power blend skillet (sauce on the side) with two poached eggs. I only added salt and pepper, it did not even need the sauce that came with it, it was that good. The orange juice was truly fresh squeezed, the latte was good and the coffee was strong. Overall, an excellent experience. The only drawback to our breakfast experience was not being able to have real maple syrup with the pancakes. Kristin, a thoughtful and attentive server, explained that they used to have this as an option, but no longer do. We highly recommend if you are in the area!
