Local delivery is available for a fee. My husband and I shopped here one time. Employees immediately and kindly served us. Many baked goods in the display cases looked tempting, so I needed time to make up my mind about what I wanted to buy! I chose baklava (4 stars, thick layer of nuts), lady lock (4 stars, not quite as good as my mom-in-law's), apricot sourcream (4 stars), snickerdoodle cookie (4.5 stars), and Very Berry Napoleon (5, nicely fruity and sweet). The total price for these five baked goods was $10.46.

My husband and I shopped here one time. When we entered the store, an employee immediately and kindly greeted us. Examples of candies were Jelly Belly, SweetTarts, Raisinets, Laffy Taffy, Dweebs, BottleCaps, Nestle Aero, and a display case of a few dozen flavors of chocolates. Furthermore, a wall had a candy buffet from which customers could fill up a box with up to several dozen flavors of candies for $5. Countless flavors of bottled sodas were on the shelves. For gifts we saw toys (e.g., wooden flower puzzles and trucks), clothing such as socks, candles, etcetera. We felt most interested in the candies. This store offered many but not all of our favorite gummy, hard, sweet, sour, and chocolate candies. The prices were typical.

We explored the cooler full of fun treats, shelves of beautiful canned/tinned items, and gorgeous flower arrangements. I tried the Kitchen Sink salad, which included delicious homemade falafel and hummus. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan myself, but I still loved the plant-based options for protein! They also offer a lot of gluten free items in addition to vegetarian ones. The staff were friendly and kind and very helpful with suggestions! I'll be back if I'm in the area!

Everything was fresh, delicious, and well worth the visit. I would definitely stop by again!

Make the customer repeat his order at least twice because the brand new drive-thru intercom system apparently doesn't work very well.. 2.

Make sure that the small ice cream in a waffle cone barely reaches the top edge of the cone. This happened last time, too, so maybe there's some new portion policy.

The ice creams come in different sizes (e.g., kids to pints) and different flavors (e.g., vanilla and chocolate), may be put in a homemade waffle cone or cup/bowl, may be mixed with different mix-ins (e.g., pineapple, chocolate-chip cookie dough, butter candied pecan, Biscoff cookie, cotton-candy pops, pumpkin roll, pistachios, Oreos, and Fruity Pebbles cereal), and may have different toppings added (e.g., sprinkles, chocolate, marshmallows, Heath, gummies, Reese's, and whipped cream). My husband and I were customers here one time. I felt very interested in trying their customized ice cream, but the weather outside was very cold, so I instead ordered a Mexican cocoa. The employees spoke nicely with me. They thought that I had ordered a coffee, so thankfully I noticed and repeated myself. Some indoor seating was available. The Mexican cocoa tasted very good. I also browsed their artists' pieces on the top floor but skipped looking at the Crafted, by Blackbird area in the adjacent building. The merchandise included much Christmas decor during that time of year.

Examples of current flavors include chocolate mousse, chocolate raspberry, Boston cream pie, banana cream pie, salted caramel, and snickerdoodle. Regular prices are roughly a few dollars per cupcake. This business sells these cupcakes from their trailer at places such as farmers markets. Through the Market Wagon website, I ordered three flavors of cupcakes--chocolate raspberry, salted caramel, and snickerdoodle. These cupcakes were made of fresh, moist cake. The whipped icings on top were wonderfully sweet. The chocolate flavors were very chocolatey. The fillings did not have strong flavors but added to the sweetness. I enjoyed the drizzles and the chocolate chips on top. If you like cupcakes and want to support a small business, then I encourage you to check out One Piece, Two Piece, Three Piece, Four bakery!
