So when Destiny Dairy Bar showed up on my feed talking about "come snuggle piglets for $25!" there was no internal debate. No hesitation. No weighing the pros and cons. I immediately booked a Piglet Snuggle Session. Honestly...I don't think I've ever typed my credit card number faster. Booking online was incredibly easy, and from the moment I reserved my spot, Destiny Dairy Bar knocked the customer service out of the park. They sent multiple emails leading up to my appointment explaining exactly what to expect, reminding me about my reservation and providing the required waiver ahead of time so there weren't any surprises when I arrived. Five stars before I even touched a pig! I arrived about 15 minutes early and checked in at the farm store. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. They encouraged me to wander around the property until my session started, which turned out to be a great suggestion. There were goats. Cows. Adult pigs. A donkey named Pamela. And plenty of opportunities to wander around smiling at animals living their best lives. When it was time for my session, everything started right on schedule. My farm guide explained how to safely hold the piglets and then basically said..."Have fun!" Don't mind if I do! The best part? I wasn't rushed at all! I had the opportunity to hold any of the piglets I wanted but settled in with the tiniest little guy of the bunch. Three and a half pounds. Curled up in my arms. Completely asleep. For most of the twenty-minute session. I don't know if he chose me...or if I chose him...but we were best friends by the end. The staff member even offered to take photos for me, which I appreciated so much since I was visiting on my own. Instead of trying to awkwardly balance a piglet while taking selfies, I was able to simply enjoy the experience and leave with wonderful memories! PRO TIP: Arrive a little early so you have time to explore the rest of the property. The piglets may be the headline attraction, but they're definitely not the only adorable residents you'll meet. At $25 per group (up to four people), I honestly think this is one of the best values for a unique experience you'll find anywhere. Whether you're bringing kids, your partner or just embracing your inner animal lover like I did, it's twenty minutes of pure joy! Now...I do have one confession. After I got home...I may or may not have Googled plans for building a piglet house. I'm not saying I'm getting a pet pig. I'm just saying...the research has begun. Until then, I'll happily keep coming back to Destiny Dairy Bar whenever I need a piglet fix!

Only knocked down a star because the restaurant is really small and there's not a great waiting area.

But omggg dark soul is on of my fav flavors(I really wish I would've gotten the dark soul stacker!)

It's a pretty simple but effective menu of scoops, shakes, floats, and sundaes. We were each going to get a flavor and share but saw the flight option: 4 kids sized flavors in their own little cubbies in one container. Highly recommend this if you're torn on flavors. Many of the flavors were monthly, so even if I loved them, I understand they might not be around next time. The brown butter sugar cookie was sweet and creamy, the watermelon was refreshing and light, the espresso martini was rich and complex, and the more regular flavor Dutch chocolate was perfection. They give out samples which was great because one of the seasonal flavors wasn't to our liking, so we were able to pivot. Don't abuse sampling privileges and don't be afraid to try some of the more unique flavors. You never know! They have their operations down pat, so the line moved quickly. The employees seemed nice, and the cost was very reasonable for specialty flavors. You can't go wrong trying this place.

The menu offers a lot of different things from waffles, to crepes to crepe sushi! (Which is what I got!) Everything with chocolate or chocolate covered lol.

It's definitely shareable so we shared it along with the Dubai cheesecake. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend this place if you have a sweet tooth.

I found Royal Chocolate while doom-scrolling Facebook, where a local foodie was raving about it,…read moreand I very strategically worked it into a Friday night date night to see if it lived up to my hopes and dreams. Spoiler alert: it mostly did...and then some. The moment the door opened, the smell of straight-up sugary sweetness hit me in the face in the best possible way. The menu is absolutely ridiculous -- in the most delightful sense. If you can dream of a sweet treat, it's probably on that menu. I was overwhelmed, overjoyed, and fully committed to poor decision-making. After what felt like an eternity of deliberation, I landed on a Reese's Cheesecake ($8.23 for a ridiculously huge slice) and an absolutely unhinged Peanut Butter Pie Milkshake ($9.30). My Adventure Buddy went with two waffle sticks drizzled with milk chocolate and pistachio drizzle, plus a Spanish latte. Total, including tip? $38...for dessert. And honestly? Sometimes being an adult with adult money really is the best. The combination of the cheesecake and milkshake was mind-blowing. I shouldn't have done it. I definitely flew too close to the sun. I may someday answer for this with a sugar-related medical condition -- but I regret NOTHING. The cheesecake was insanely rich, loaded with peanut butter accents, and there was absolutely no skimping on portion size. The milkshake? Straight out of heaven. Thick, creamy, and PACKED with peanut butter. It was food-coma good. I tuned out the outside world and existed solely in a peanut butter fever dream for a while. Adventure Buddy thoroughly enjoyed his waffle sticks and latte and gave the whole experience a solid thumbs up. Logistics-wise: plenty of free parking since it's in a strip mall, and the staff were friendly. That said, things felt a bit chaotic the night we were there. Despite having around seven staff members working, it took quite a while to get our order, and there was some snarky back-and-forth between staff that was very audible -- which felt awkward since we were the only customers in the shop at the time. Bottom line: the sweets are fantastic and absolutely worth experiencing. With just a little more customer-service awareness (or at least saving staff disagreements for out of earshot), this place could be pure dessert perfection. I'd still go back -- but next time, I'll pace myself...or at least pretend I will.

I was hoping all the hype was true and maybe I'd even find a new spot to add to my breakfast places to try list -- but, spoiler alert, I won't be doing that. Pulled in around 5pm and found parking (miracle, since there are only about 4 or 5 spots). Inside, I was greeted right away and told to seat myself. The specials board out front caught my eye, so I went with the bacon cheeseburger croissant, upgraded my fries to chili cheese fries, and grabbed a Diet Pepsi. I was the only dine-in customer, but there was a steady flow of pickup orders. Still, a 20-minute wait for my food felt long considering it was just me sitting there listening to FM radio straight out of an 80's prom (hello, Mr. Mister's "Broken Wings"...literally). When my food finally arrived, the staff immediately realized they'd forgotten the chili cheese on the fries and whisked them back to fix it -- good save! The chili itself? Fantastic. Like, "I-need-this-on-a-hot-dog" fantastic. The fries, though...yikes. Grease was literally pooling and dripping through the basket like a leaky oil pan. The burger was fine -- solid flavor, but the proportions were off. Giant tomato and onion slices took over the show, and the croissant was way too big for the small patty. Loved the croissant idea, just needs a smaller bun or a bigger burger. Ended up eating the patty and ditching the salad-sized toppings and half the croissant. The check was the real surprise: $12.99 for the burger, $2.49 for the Diet Pepsi, and another $2.99 for the chili cheese fry upgrade -- plus a mysterious "conveenience Fee (2.99%)" for $0.55. Maybe time to run spell check before charging extra, Dad. All in all with tip, $20+ for a burger that didn't quite live up to the hype. It hit the spot for a burger craving, but not enough to make me a regular. Glad I gave it a try -- it's got potential and a great location (even if parking is a tight squeeze). But honestly, it might be time for Dad to roll up his sleeves, give the menu a tune-up, and maybe double-check that receipt printer while he's at it. Bottom line: Cool concept, great chili, and 80s prom tunes -- but for $20+, I expected a little more horsepower under the hood.
