Coons Candy - First Visit…read more Let's go ahead and name what some of us have probably thought: pulling up to a place called Coons Candy comes with hesitation -- especially as a Black customer. It's an unspoken (and sometimes spoken) moment of pause, wondering what kind of experience you're walking into. But curiosity -- and a soft spot for old-school sweets -- led us to check it out. To my surprise, the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and offered samples of fudge, toffee, and a few other homemade treats. That immediately softened the moment and brought on a bit of nostalgia -- felt like walking into one of those general stores my MawMaw would take me to, or a Cracker Barrel stop on a road trip. The store itself is exactly what you'd expect from a small-town candy shop: shelves packed with retro candies, novelty drinks, locally made honey and syrups, quirky gifts, and yes -- edible bugs. It's cozy and cluttered in a fun, old-school way. We left with: * Boba Vida popping pearls (dark cherry) * Sugar Daddy, Victory sticks, Stallion candy smokes, raspberry & green apple sticks * Locally made honey * A mix of glass-bottle sodas: * Sioux City Ginger Beer + Prickly Pear * Reading Draft Honey Cream * Drive-In Cherry Limeade * Nehi Peach * Ginger Strawberry tea * Hot & Spicy Ginger Beer This is definitely a place for folks who love that nostalgic candy-store vibe and don't mind digging through shelves of old favorites and funky surprises. ‍ Final take: It was a mixed bag. The selection was fun and the staff made us feel welcome. But the name? It sticks -- and not in a sweet way. That hesitation doesn't go away entirely, and I'd understand if someone else passed on the visit for that reason alone. I'm glad I saw it for myself. Would I go back? Maybe. Would I recommend it? Depends who's asking.

Interestingly, when I looked at Let's Mochi Donuts's menu online, they have photos of other bubble tea shops (Kung Fu Tea/Chatime/Sharetea) which was a red flag to me. The bubbles are average and the fruit tea tastes like they're made with powder rather than fresh fruit. Depending on what you're looking for, this could be a good place for desserts and chatting, but I wouldn't come here for bubble tea.

We opted out because we already have so many apples at the house! They had cantaloupe, blackberries, blueberries, local maple syrup, jams and jellies, assorted candies, apples, and peaches. The blueberries looked incredible and we couldn't pass those up. Their blackberries were ginormous and we had to buy some of those, too! We got a pint of each and it was almost $10. Maybe a little on the expensive side. This is a little, but also completely adorable shop. I will most definitely be back- you simply can't beat fresh, homegrown fruit!

After a short wait, it was our turn to pick out our treats. We opted for a 6-pack of cupcakes so we could try as many as possible. There were so many flavors and all were made so beautifully - it was hard to choose! I can tell you, without hesitation, that the cheesecakes are some of the best that we've ever eaten. They're sweet but not overly sweet, have a lovely graham base, and in most cases, a light whipped topping. As mentioned in an older review, there wasn't a rubbery top so Jackie must've taken notice and fixed the issue. Don't hesitate to stop and treat yourself! You'll be glad you did!

I love Yellowbird. It's a CSA from Central Ohio that runs year round. They partner with numerous…read morefarms so that they have multiple sources in case any one source has a bad crop/week/season. There are a couple of weeks in the winter where you get a lot of sprouts. So many sprouts and winter squash, but it's local and good quality and more than made up for in the summer when BERRY SEASON! They also offer a cheese share that is just fantastic, and the grocery offers some major brands of organic food/snacks and non-local products, but the boxes are still Ohio based. You can order pickup at major employers in Columbus, pickup at one of their designated pickup locations, or home delivery. I've actually done all three, but am currently on the delivery schedule, for an extra fee, which is a really nice service. I've had some order issues in the past, but if you email the company same day, they're quick to credit your account and fix any issues.

Yellowbird is a farmbox/csa food option that can make your body happy, your environment healthy, and support local small businesses. You can choose your size of box and frequency, pick it up in one of 12 locations OR have it delivered to your door. The produce boxes have between 5-8 of random seasonal veggies for the mini size. In addition to your mystery produce, you can add from their local stock which includes eggs, tea, honey, dairy, and more. The farm box is a perfect social distancing option, and a great way to learn new foods for adventurous or beginning cooks! They also allow for certain dietary restrictions; you can note that you are gluten free for example.
