Scoops On 5th

During our recent trip to Mount Dora for the annual art festival, we stopped by Allyson A's Bake…read moreShop again for an afternoon coffee and dessert. It's such a cute spot, with an impressive selection of baked goods at very reasonable prices. This time, I ordered the chocolate strawberry latte, and we shared a red velvet scone along with one of their unique "Nobody Asked For This" chocolate chip cookies made with roasted garlic. The latte was delicious and piping hot--perfect for a chilly day. My first bite of the garlic chocolate chip cookie had me thinking, "No," but it quickly grew on me, and I ended up really enjoying the unexpected combination of flavors. The red velvet scone was huge (perfect for sharing) and absolutely amazing, loaded with chocolate chips. Between the drinks and treats I've tried over multiple visits, Allyson A's Bake Shop has yet to disappoint. It's a must-stop whenever I'm in Mount Dora.

After reading others' reviews, our group must have visited on an off day. I tried the lemon…read moreraspberry scone, which was covered in piped frosting; this is not normally how scones are served. When I asked for jam and clotted cream, I was told they were not available. They offered to heat it in the microwave for me, and at first, I said I'll eat it as is. I was soon back to ask them to heat it, which did help with the texture and taste. My friend had a chocolate raspberry bar, and another tried a cupcake. We were all disappointed in our choices. I had promised my husband something from the bakery when I got home, but decided to pass and went home empty-handed.

Le Petit is the best, look no further! We recently ordered our 3 tiered wedding cake from them…read more(each tier was a different flavor), the cake and fillings was amazing and the best I've ever had. I truly wished I lived in Mount Dora as I would use them for all my events. We had Strawberry Champagne, Chocolate Praline, and Coconut Caramel...everything was so delicious. I am also happy that they offer a deal to purchase a cake from them on your one year anniversary, it gave us the opportunity to offer all flavors to guest and we in turn will get a freshly made cake. We are looking forward to coming back to this amazing baker. Le Petit was very accommodating to us for our tasting since we were a destination wedding and our time during wedding things were limited to our visits made to the area, the tasting went so smoothly and they truly made it hard to narrow down to only 3 flavors since all of them tasted great. Thank you Le Petit for the cake of our dreams.

Our first time buying I got the jalapeño cheddar and it is my favorite bread! We made bacon grilled cheese sandwiches that I dream of, so flavorful and delicious!

The ONLY place to get Kolaches (warm yeast rolls with a choice of fillings) - if you don't know what a Kolache is, do yourself and your family a huge favor and try some, or many. Very addictive, in a good food kind of way. And their Doughnuts are so wonderfully good!! For hardcore doughnut lovers, like me, this puts others to shame (looking at you DD). Everything about this place is what you would want wherever you live, and if you're here in Lake County, we struck gold. I must admit that the prices are higher than I would like, but that seems to be the case everywhere. I am going to post this elsewhere too, because this local shop deserves our support, and selfishly, I want to be able to stop by there when I want, so I need them to thrive. It is one of those places that, if you try it, you are hooked. Oh, and everyone who works there is super cheerful and helpful. Long post, but now you know a little about Cousin's Kolaches.

You could tell it was made fresh and it honestly might be the best I've ever had. Then came the crème brûlée... and wow.
