The only thing I saw had nuts was the chocolate bark with almonds which we got the dark chocolate version of it. I'm honestly not sure how long the chocolate has been out for I didn't seem that fresh and it was $8 for four pieces so pretty pricey for something that was mid and forgettable. would not recommend any of the 'fresh' items. shop was dark and a bit dingy.

The building itself boasts a cozy, cabin feel-a building style, uniquely known to the Lake Mohawk Area. The warm feeling you experience walking into the store is equally matched by the ownership. Yvette is a true "Candy Lady." She loves what she does and is always willing to go above and beyond for her customers. So many unique goodies. All of the classic candies (Razzles, Violets, Candy Cigarettes) will evoke nostalgic memories. The Jelly Belly wall has every flavor you could imagine- and ones you wouldn't even think of. If you're a chocolate lover, good news... the chocolate treats made in-store are not only DELICIOUS, but nut free and egg free as well. THE GELATO IS TO DIE FOR (chocolate coffee and pistachio are my favorite!) If you're ever in the Lake Mohawk area, it's definitely worth stopping in. There really is something for everyone.

I had to try Burger & Butcher after my friends were raving about it, an it absolutely exceeded my…read moreexpectations. The atmosphere is cute, casual, and trendy. I love the convenience of the kiosk ordering. Service was very quick, and everyone on staff was so kind and helpful. I was blown away by their gluten-free menu. They offer gluten-free buns for burgers and sandwiches, gluten-free crispy chicken, and even gluten-free desserts. I tried the Turtle Pie and the Lemon Raspberry Pie--both were delicious, but the Turtle Pie was truly to die for. This was hands down one of the best burgers and fries I've ever had. Gluten-free bread can really make or break a meal, and this place does it right. The gluten-free bun tasted fresh and delicious, the burger itself was incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the basil aioli was insanely good. I also ordered their specialty Cherry Cream Cola, and it was so good that I had to get a second one. It tasted like a fresh, sweet Cherry Coke and was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. I sat outside and brought my dog, and one of the staff members even came out with a bowl of water for him. Such a thoughtful touch that made us feel so welcome. It being dog-friendly is definitely a huge bonus for me. Amazing food, wonderful service, and one of the best gluten-free experiences I've had. I can't wait to come back!

We walked in as tourists, not knowing what to expect, and within minutes we felt like we'd been coming here for years. That kind of genuine, welcoming energy is rare. The staff didn't just serve us they took care of us. Friendly, attentive, and effortlessly warm in a way that made the whole experience feel personal. The space itself? Think cozy, charming, and just the right amount of rustic. It's the kind of place where everything from the decor to the lighting makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy your meal. And speaking of the food... WOW. The short rib home fries were absolutely next level. Rich, flavorful, perfectly cooked every bite hit. Comfort food, but elevated. The kind of dish you think about later in the day... and then again the next day. The coffee was just as impressive smooth, fresh, and exactly what you need to complete a perfect brunch moment. What stood out the most though? The feeling. Being away from home but treated like a local... that's something special. If you want amazing food, cozy vibes, and service that genuinely makes your day better this is your spot. We didn't just find a place to eat... we found a place we'd come back to again and again.

Smoked Brie was good, but the crackers could be upgraded with maybe artisan cracker like firehook crackers. Winter Burrata salad was the big hit, would order this again anytime. They ran out of double cut pork chops so got got rib eye instead. While it was thinner than expected the cook was still correct. What was amazing was the side of cracked black pepper seasoning, made every bite very enjoyable. Creamed spinach wss very tasty, we ate every bite. The frenched chicken breast was fine, potatoes were good but the chorizo was overdone for our taste. Deserts: sorbet was ok, the chocolate cake slice looked beautiful but taste was just ok, unfortunately neither was up to the quality of the appetizers or main course We will come back sometime in future to try the pork chop.

I called the restaurant twice because I wanted to give them the chance to make it right. The best they could do was offer a $100 gift card to come back. Why would I want to come back after that? A gift card is useless when I don't trust eating there again. For a restaurant charging these prices, I expected them to actually care about what happened. Instead, it felt like they just wanted us to go away. I won't be back, and based on how this was handled, I'd think twice before spending your money here.

They have a great menu, be sure to stop in and grab some food and awesome cocktails. When the weather is nice, you can sit outside or on the rooftop bar. The town is super cute!

Happy Taco Tuesday in Sparta, New Jersey!…read more I told my friend that we should have tacos for dinner. She knew that Sparta Classic Diner had tacos on their menu, so she drove us there! The interior was really cute with an old school, country feel... and an indoor (artificial) fireplace! Service was efficient and friendly. Our server had down-to-earth hospitality! She knew to offer us takeout containers at the end of the meal because we were so full! I got the Fish Tacos, grilled. They came with a side of rice and beans - and sweetly tart, fried plantains. The moist fish was topped with fresh veggies and cheese! Very yummy! I finished all ofthe leftovers when we got back to the house! Great midnight snack! Hope you had a Happy Taco Tuesday!
