    Nostalgia is a heck of a drug. It clouds your judgement. And when it comes to food, it makes you…read moreattach feelings and memories to that food, and makes you think that whack food is actually dope. Like, for instance, a cannoli filled with frosting. That's not acceptable, full stop. But it might be acceptable to you if you've been eating whack cannoli all of your life. (More like CAN'Tnoli, am I right? Thank you -- I actually stole that piece of comedy gold.) If you've been eating whack cannoli for decades because that's what grandma's been buying and bringing to get-togethers, and you love grandma, then you associate grandma-things with love, and they taste good to you. Again, nostalgia is a heck of a drug, and much like other drugs, it makes food taste way better in our minds than it actually does in real life. I feel like that is what is in play here at Hart Bakery & Gifts. Hart Bakery has been around a long time. It's the third oldest bakery in Indianapolis! So, people have been buying baked goods from this place for generations. People have their favorites, obviously, and have their memories. But I have no such allegiance to Hart Bakery. I've only lived in Indiana for 10 years, and I only recently heard about this place, so I went in with a clean slate. Grandma be danged. I visited to get some donuts. Most of the donuts were gone by the time I arrived (11 o'clock-ish), but I did snag a glazed twist and two sprinkle cake donuts. Because I wanted to taste a little bit of everything, I also got a peanut butter cup cookie and a cannoli. The women behind the counter also offered samples of their cinnamon-sugar donut holes, and their most popular pecan thumbprint cookies. So I feel like I got to taste the rainbow, so to speak. The pecan thumbprint cookies were indeed the best things I tasted. They are tiny little things: maybe the size of a quarter, and filled with white frosting. I could have done without the frosting, but you have to know that this bakery is very old-fashioned, so of course there's royal icing on an already sweet-enough cookie. My second favorite thing from this bakery was the peanut butter cup cookie. Actually, all of the cookies looked really good, and I think a cookie is a good bet here. My cookie was quite large and was more than enough to satisfy two people. The cinnamon-sugar donut holes came in third. The donut holes at Hart are not yeasted donuts like you'd find in other places. They're cake donut holes, so they are denser and more chewy. They were good, but one was more than enough for me. The other donuts that I got were just OK. I am a glazed twist lover, and I love them because they are light, but the glazed twist here were very dense. I brought home cake donuts for my kids, and they didn't finish them, which is not a good sign! My children always finish donuts. The cannoli was my least favorite. In this case, I think you'd need to take the gun and leave the cannoli, if I'm being honest. No mascarpone was injured in the making of these cannoli, and they really did taste like they were filled with white frosting. (Not even vanilla, but white frosting.) I dunno, man. If you're not going to make a cannoli with mascarpone, then you just need to not even offer it, is my feeling. If you're in the market for Precious Moments figurines, then Hart Bakery & Gifts is your place. Because the "& Gifts" part of the name means two walls full of Precious Moments porcelain collectibles, plus other kinds of knickknacks, signs and displays for the home. Not my home, but someone's home. I'm glad that I visited Hart Bakery, but I'm not sure I'll be returning. (Or, if I did, it would be for a bag of those little pecan cookies. Them's the shiz.)

    Hart Bakery made one of the most adorable and delicious cakes I've ever had! I sent an inspiration…read morepicture and it turned out fabulous. I'm convinced they can do it all. ;-)

    This store use to actually be my go to. Recently they've been hiring the wrong people it seems…read morelike. Almost every time the employees are rude. I called to find some info out about a reward I had (I spend thousands of $$ with the company & have the black VS card) needless to say the lady that answered the phone started getting rude with me, and I don't disrespect others so I refuse to get disrespected! I asked what her name was since I have no idea who I was talking to, the lady said she was busy and HUNG UP ON ME!! So I called back and a different lady answered and I asked for the manager she said she was so I explained the situation to her, she was nicer but still not very professional. She told me they aren't allowed to say their name over the phone... but they are always sure to tell you their name in store? Makes sense!? Not really? I just wanted to know who I was speaking with so I could contact corporate and explain my experience to them. Let's just say I called Castleton instead and they were happy to help... AVOID at all costs let them go out of business just like most of the salon since they don't want to nor know how to provide any customer service. Just sad.

    I used to love Washington Square back in the day. It has slowly deteriorated over the years and all…read moreof the big stores have left. Victoria Secret is one of the few good stores left and I honestly think their days are numbered. The blonde that rung our sales, I forgot to get her name, had a great attitude and was obviously a good worker. The line was huge and she kept a great attitude. Sadly, It took a line of about 15 people to get any of the other employees to come help her. She said almost everyone else was working on other projects but we wandered the store and heard enough conversations between employees to see that maybe they were supposed to be working on projects but they were not. In my opinion they were all obviously letting this poor girl do all the work. I find it disgusting to take advantage of this poor girl who was obviously a hard worker, sincere and a team player. I wish I would have gotten her name because I would have called corporate to compliment her and inform them whats going on in this store. Just sad.

    What a fantastic adventure I had today. I love Boba tea. So, it was not a surprise I would find…read moremyself visiting Ann's Boba Tea. I had difficulty debating which tea I wanted to try and ordered two. Fortunately, the first one was sooooo delicious that I drank it up fast and felt delighted and refreshed. Needless to say, I did not get a picture of the pineapple goodness that had strawberry popping bobas, but I know that combination is . With my second tea, I asked the owner to get creative. She created a honeydew with green apple masterpiece . If you're in the mood for some refreshing Boba teas, definitely head to Plaza Urbana in the extended food court to try some delicious Ann's Boba Tea. Black-owned/woman-owned

    If you have not tried the businesses at Plaza Urbana-I encourage you to stop by. We stopped by…read morethree restaurants today and I will definitely be back!! 1. Cup de sac was our main stop. It's a vegan restaurant that is absolutely great. The owner and chef greets you with a smile and is ready to go over any question you have. We ordered the cooked nacho stack and the gargantuan burger meal and a small smoothie. 2. Ms Marsha's bakery was our next stop. Again greeted with a friendly smile and some deliciousness. She's got sweet potato pie-cookies-brownies parfaits-cupcakes-cheesecake; every treat you can imagine. But be warned-her cheesecakes sell out fast, so beat the rush. She also offers vegan treats as well. 3. Carnitas el tarasco was great as well. Their agua fresca were so fresh. They have different flavors so something to look forward to next time. There's boutique shops, a hair salón, I believe a nail salon and more spaces to be filled. Definitely worth a visit to the Eastside of Indy
