Super good! * Lobster tail - hard and half filled with cream * Strawberry cream puff - pastry itself was stale, strawberries were good. * Eclair - texture was fine, but it didn't have much flavor It may have been that I ordered them early in the afternoon, but the stale pastries tasted like they'd been left out for days. If you do visit, I highly recommend ordering their cannolis.

It's as if I was a kid again eating an imaginary meal at a play set. But the meal is far from imaginary... With a limited menu that changes regularly, they prepare rich meals of both quality and quantity. I had a sausage and potato stuffed omelet with carmelized onions that was a very delicious monster. Quite often, home fries are either greasy, or over-cooked, or even over-seasoned, but these were perfect. It seemed as if they had just pulled the potatoes from the ground that morning. My girlfriend had the best, "meatiest" tomato soup I have ever tasted, and her gourmet grilled cheese blew my mind. (If I didn't love her so much, I would have stolen it from her!) For dessert, we had white-chocolate raspberry cookies that were yummy beyond reproach. (The cakes in the dessert display may bring people to tears.) The service was also wonderful and the coffee really hit the spot. Reservations recommended and there is parking in the rear of the establishment.

PLEASE update the stores Yelp, and Google hours as they differentiate from the hours listed on their door and the website. ONTO THE COFFEE First up ~ Banana pancake cold brew, with no cinnamon sprinkle on top (per my request) ~ 5.5/10 - The Cold brew itself has a great strong flavor. However there is no flavor beyond that. I did read their menu online prior to ordering and that definitely adds to my disappointment. The described maple and banana notes that the coffee "should" have are missing completely. They make a lot of their specialty syrups and flavors homemade which had me really excited, so I was quickly bummed to taste absolutely none of it. Next up ~ Black Cold brew with Vanilla ~ 7/10 - Simple, basic and what you expect. Not much to add here. Lastly, The FOOD ~ We ordered the Turkey bacon, double egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant. ~ 7.5/10 - The sandwich was good! I wouldn't order this again unless I was in a rush. The turkey bacon a little bit sweet and that was great. The Croissant was toasted well, however we were let down by the egg, it seemed to be baked? As if they cooked up a large egg bake for these specifically. Which personally, I wasn't expecting or a fan of. The Spongey texture was really a miss. I do think a bit of salt and pepper would've improved this overall. -

We ended up trying the Bacon in the Sun, French Toast, PB&J, Strawberry Confetti (because my daughter loves herself a pink donut ), and of course, you can never go wrong with a good old-fashioned glazed donut. Let me tell you, these donuts were a lovely, fresh treat! Soft, flavorful, and made to order. Each one had its own unique twist, and it was so much fun trying all the different flavors. The Bacon in the Sun was the perfect mix of sweet and savory, while the French Toast tasted just like breakfast in donut form. And the Strawberry Confetti definitely got my daughter's stamp of approval! If you're a donut lover or just looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

I went to Macy's the other day and they were selling the 2lb bag for $30! Like maybe we should start setting the U.S. dollar on the jelly belly standard. But I digress. The point is that you can buy jelly bellies here, but only the ones that you want.

They are so good!!…read more My personal favorite is the regular Morty's with sauce, pickles and grilled onions and I add cooper sharp cheese. My son's favorite is the Cali with lettuce, tomato and grilled onions and heavy on the mayo - he also requests that they put the lettuce and tomato on top cause otherwise they put it under the hot meat as their standard practice and that makes it kind of cook and steam the veggies and is definitely not a texture or taste him or I like. The fries are good too. The chicken fingers were disappointing. But seriously, trust us on the steaksandwiches - they're fantastic!

I'm originally from Michigan and moved to the area about 6 years ago. When I first got here, everyone talked about how amazing the cheesesteaks were. I tried them... and honestly, I just didn't get the hype. They were good, but nothing that made me think, "I can't wait to have that again." Then I had Cody's. And everything changed. Their cheesesteaks are HUGE. My husband and I usually split one because it's so big. We always get the OG Steak, and if we have someone joining us for dinner, we'll get a chicken one too so everyone can share. The bread is phenomenal. And the way everything is mixed together means you get cheese, onions, and perfectly cooked beef in EVERY bite. I honestly can't even put into words how good it is. And here's how I know it's really that good... Yesterday I got a cheesesteak for lunch and, for once, my husband didn't split it with me So I had half left over. Today I heated up the other half for lunch and OMG. It was STILL SO GOOD. Even reheated, it was absolutely delicious. And don't even get me started on the Asiago Ranch Fries. They are SOOOO good! Everything I've had from Cody's has been delicious, and I love that it's a local family-owned business. You can walk in and order, or order online. I usually order online for dinner, and it's always ready when I get there to pick it up. Yesterday I just walked in and ordered, and it didn't take long at all. So if you're local and haven't tried Cody's yet -- GO! And if you have tried them, you already know. 10/10 -- hands down my favorite cheesesteak in the area! Cody's, you officially converted this Michigan girl into a cheesesteak lover.

Besides the incredible food, their hospitality was second to none. They were so kind and welcoming to our family and patient with our four crazy kids. You can tell Chef Cody is a positive light and passionate about not only his craft, but also the people he serves. They'll be a regular stop for us on the way to visit family in the future and we recommend you stop by as well!

Brimstone here with another Tidbit in Allentown, PA! The Fearsome Four were back together again…read more.. The Food Hound Elite - Etan Wish, Luscious, Mina Sanwald and me; ole' Brim! Today we visited a tiny little place (literally) who packed powerful flavor in EVERY bite! Willy Joe's has been in business since 1945 when factories overran Allentown and business was thriving. This location was originally owned and operated by William & Josephine (hence the name Willy Joe's), and this spot was, is and always will be a name to be reckoned with! Current owner Rich and his partner bought into the establishment at some point in the eighties and opened up a second location (also in Allentown). Once Josephine was ready to retire, she invited Rich and his wife Holly to take over the spot where it all began. And so we begin... We started off simple with what locals call the Dog Everything... raw onions, mustard and home made chili sauce on a steamed bun. I'll start by saying the hot dog had the allure of a NYC dirty water dog; but without all the concern for your health! The dog was juicy, had a light crisp to the skin, and packed a really nice flavor which worked really well with all the condiments on it. Even without ketchup on it, (if I wanted the full experience from when Josephine was in charge) the flavor was bold and well blended. Now the kicker was that it'll only set you back $1.30 with EVERYTHING!!! Meanwhile, only an extra .24 cents for their special cheese! Nothing crazy, nothing fancy... just a good old fashioned tasty Hot Dog. Note: Mina says that the flavor of the special Chili sauce was enhanced while drinking the Chocolate Milk. WINNING. The next hidden treasure that we sampled was comically called the SOB... Steak On Burger (should have been for Sss' Only for Brim!). The Hounds sucked that bad boy up stat! Unreal, a cheese steak burger with banana peppers, that yummy chili, pickles, onions and their secret Steak Sauce that was BOSS - all nestled on a freshly steamed Kaiser roll! I'm naming this one my personal WIN of the day. Quickly to follow were the Chili Cheese Fries and NOTHING is better than fries that STAY crispy with all the trimmings hot and dripping on top! The cheese is off the hook; a blend of cheese whiz with some other secret cheesy ingredients - Mmm cheese! Did I say cheese? One trending topping at this spot is the delicious specialty steak sauce, this stuff is addictive... once you eat it; you just can NOT get enough! Quite literally, this BOSS of a sauce made our two cheese steaks unbelievably amazing! The Allentown Cheesesteak (I was quickly corrected that this is certainly NOT a Philly Cheesesteak) was bursting with flavor, the extra splash of chili added to the love; but the special sauce tied everything together to truly make this work. Lush claimed his favorite was the Chicken Cheesesteak which he attempted to eat right off the griddle. That sauce yet again rocked the taste buds! There was no special seasoning on the chicken; all the flavor came directly from the sauce which has been homemade here for years. We all agreed that they should bottle that sauce up and give everyone the opportunity to indulge in its awesome-sauce-ness. Lastly, we were treated to the Chili Con Carne (of which Mina grabbed a second container to go); an original recipe created by Rich's mother! Mina opted to choose the chili as her WIN for this location. The chili was smooth, meaty and offered a blend of vegetables & spices - a slight burst of 'hotness' leaves a nice taste while munching and the meat simply melts in your mouth. They let this awesome stuff simmer for a minimum of 4 to 5 hours which really makes a difference... thumbs up! Seriously, if you are looking for some fast food with history and tons of flavor... you'll need to stop by this little gem. Fast and very friendly service, fantastic food and well worth a visit! Lesson to be learned here is to never judge a book by its cover and BIG things come in small packages. This one gets the Food Hounds Seal of Approval!
