Something Sweet

What a charming little cafe! We have been on a roll of trying new coffee shops near us and this…read moretime it was the latte cafe! It was so fun to find it on a corner like a standalone house with a full parking lot. They also have an enclosed patio which I can only imagine would be so fun during the summer. We got the cherry cordial cold brew, and the matcha flight. The cold brew was good, it had the hints of cherries with in. I loved the matcha flight, honestly the vanilla matcha as basic as that sounds was my absolute favorite but I cannot wait to try the chai flight! For breakfast I got the caprese sandwich and my husband got the breakfast burrito and we split it. Both were great, the caprese sandwich was delish! I keep thinking to myself I need to try to make that for breakfast now because it was that good! And for our sweet treat dessert we got the carrot cake whoopie. It was good but it felt like there was too much cake to the filling ratio, I almost feel like it needed to be half the amount of cake. Overall a great experience! The staff was nice and the shop was so cute to hang out and work in! Can't wait to come back and try more.

Love this little ice cream shop inside of the Fire Pitt. It does have it's own entrance but the…read moreinside is connected. Ice cream can be ordered from Fire Pitt while dining in. They serve the fantastic Chocolate Shoppe ice cream and rotate flavors. In my opinion, this is the best scoopable ice cream out there so I'm so happy they carry it. I love their flavor selection, I believe it's about 31 flavors that rotate so there's something for everyone. What can be improved upon: Mark ice cream as dairy free, GF, soy, etc. to help with dietary restrictions and offer more sundae toppings. I'm hoping this comes in time, since they're still fairly new, they are off to a great start. I look forward to reviewing the Ice Box again when they are more established.

Our drink orders were taken promptly, followed by our appetizers. For starters, we had the pretzel bites and cheese curds. The cheese curds were delicious -- and served in cube form, which was a fun and unique touch. The pretzel bites were decent, though a bit dry in some spots; thankfully, the cheese sauce helped. We also tried the popcorn, which was just okay -- some pieces tasted a little stale. As for the main dishes, everything we tried was pretty good! We ordered the Boom Boom Shrimp Tacos, the Avocado Wrap, the Chicken Caprese Sandwich, and the Pesto Grilled Cheese. Each dish was flavorful, and I especially enjoyed the orzo and the combination of flavors with the Boom Boom Shrimp -- it all worked really well together. Overall, it was a solid first visit and I'd come back to try more!

And, the fact that they sell Holcomb Hollow goodies was awesome. But just about everything else was lacking. I found the staff behind the counter to be gruff and unpleasant. Everything moved at a snails pace; I couldn't believe that a simple cold brew coffee (black) took 10 minutes. The shop is very artistic and has a lot to take in (in terms of decor, things for sale, etc.). It was overwhelming. There is a lot of seating area and separate rooms to congregate in, but even in poking my head in to look around, I received looks that felt territorial and unwelcoming. My coffee was fine, but really nothing to write home about. Not at all interested in trying this place again.

So excited to have found my new favorite Sweet Shop!! My husband and I visited the night before Valentine's Day and had a FUN time! Not only was every single one of the staff just as sweet as their treats, but the patience they had with all of our silly questions and the time that Michele and Ashley took to meet us made it a great experience. We couldn't decide what to choose, so we picked an assortment of chocolates and could not skip the berries!! Everything was amazing! My husband has still not stopped obsessing over the fudge! We will be back!! And we cannot wait for icecream! ;) read more

YUM! If you need sugar free fudge...THIS is the place! (I prefer the fattening version myself!) I love the beautiful interior and the presentation of the packages when you buy just the tiniest thing.
