Review Visit: September 17th, 2014…read more Pop. Pop. Get your popcorn here! Popcorn is like a burger sandwich or pizza. You can get your basic form of the food but the sky is the limit on the various ways to prepare it. Pizzas, sandwiches and popcorn are one of the many foods that comes in a million different flavors and combinations. Maybe not everyone loves popcorn (do these people even exist?) but places like Holland's Caramelcorn can offer popcorn lovers a seemingly endless variety to pick from. Having been through the Washington Square a few times, I noticed there were some cool and interesting shops to check out. So, I planned a day to explore the town's square and see what the local community has to offer. Upon finding a parking spot and entering the store, I knew I liked the place. It had this welcoming feeling to it and the person behind the counter was super friendly. The store was wide open and kept the merchandise against the walls. This allowed my friend and I an easy way to browse their wares. If you came here expecting to get much beyond the popcorn and soda, you will be disappointed. This store specializes in the popcorn and random sodas you've never heard of before. Luckily, there is a shop next door called Holland's Mercantile. But that's for another blog post. While we wandered the store, I managed to accumulate a handful of popcorn and sodas to take home with me to enjoy at my leisure. I don't remember how much everything cost but I wasn't worried about spending a few extra bucks to support local businesses. I will be honest, I may not have waited to get home before sampling some of the goods. The soda was a root beer variety and was bubbly and good. The popcorn, which the flavor escapes me, was good, tasted fresh, and had a bit of that grandma's love put in to it. Overall, it was a nice stop to pick up some goodies and to support a local business. If you happen to need some need for gourmet popcorn and odd ball sodas, you can't go wrong at Holland's. I believe they even do bulk orders for businesses. Remember, try to support those local businesses around you if at all possible.

Getting crunk on cookies…read more Emily and I stumbled upon this place almost by accident when trying to find a coffeehouse in Morton to get our caffeine fix awhile back. We were in Morton an hour too early for them to be open so I made a mental note to return in the near future. As luck would have it, we found ourselves in Morton right before they opened so we waiting a few minutes in the parking lot for the Open sign to appear. We looked up the menu online and I saw they had a taco coney dog and I was rather starving so I knew I would get that. Emily got a normal coney dog, nothing fancy. I also ordered my usual iced americano to go with it. We looked over their baked goods and Emily grabbed a big brownie and a 1/2lb chocolate chip cookie. I got a thumbprint cookie. The two people running the show were super friendly and nice. I think they were the owners and they made us feel really welcomed. The made our coffees super quick and brought our coney dogs out to us once they were done cooking. I was a bit worried about my americano since it looked like a light roast variety but I can say that it was really good and had some of that bitter that I really like. Emily and I devoured our coney dogs in no time flat. We were starving. The taco coney dog tastes just like you thought and I loved every bite. Emily really liked hers as well and commented how she liked that they used a no-bean chili for the topping. We dug into our cookies and Emily's 1/2lb was still warm from the oven. My mouth salivated a bit looking at her pull pieces off and eat them. She eventually let me have a piece and it was 100% pure heaven. The fact that it was still warm was really what made it so extra tasty. As for my thumbprint cookie, I didn't know they were dry cookies or else I would've gotten something else. It was fine but I prefer my cookies to be more moist and chewy instead of dry. We didn't try the brownie until we were sitting in the car and that was just as good as the 1/2lb cookie. Tipsy's was a perfect stop for us on the kind of late morning that we were having. The coney dogs hit just right, the staff was super friendly, and the cookies were delectable. It was nice to see the locals coming in to pick up online orders or to grab lunch to go. We probably saw 5 different groups come in during the 10-15 minutes we were there. While their menu is small and limited compared to a full-blown bakery, the handful of things they offer will blow you out of the water.

Review Visit: September 17th, 2014…read more Sugar. Spice. Everything nice. Like in a lot of smaller towns, you'll usually have or find a business that deals in candy. Sugary confections. Sweet treats. Candy from yesteryears. Soda (pop) in more varieties than you care for it to come in. Things you think you'd never see again and things you fall in love with. Holland's Mercantile fills that role for Washington, IL. My friend Matt and I decided to spend an afternoon exploring the Washington Square to see what the town and it's folk offered. The words on the front of the store's glass got me excited at the possibilities held inside. As we opened the door and headed in, the excitement increased tenfold. It was like being a kid in a candy store. Except that we are adults... in a candy store. Upon entering, I first noticed the long row of candy in the glass containers where you can scoop out as much as you want. Lining the walls were a million different candy from a million different times and cultures. I saw things I hadn't seen in years. They had stuff I didn't think existed in time where color TV is the norm. On top of the candy, they also had a display case full of baked goods. Whether these are made in-house or from a local bakery, I am not sure. Either way, the stuff looked fantastic behind the glass. Turtles. Truffles. Caramel Bars. It all looked so good that I think my blood sugar level elevated just looking at the offerings. This store has more than just candy, baked goodies, and sweets from everyone's childhood. They also had the novelty toys from the same time period the candy/sweets come from. There were novelty toys that tied in to current day trends but they also had toys that kids from our time would enjoy just as much as kids from the time from which they came. I also think there was a back room that was full of a combination of everything the store offered. On this day, I let my inner child run wild and I picked up a small sack full of candy. I didn't want to get too much because I don't have the best self-control when it comes to my sweet tooth. Next door is another Holland's store that offers up popcorn in many different flavors and even more soda to pick from. This store did remind me of the candy store from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, minus the Candy Man tossing candy to and fro. Though that would've been quite the sight to see. The store just has this feeling of being a great place to get your sweet tooth fix while reliving items from your childhood and also your parent's childhood. I will end this with a warning. If you have kids and bring them here... expect to drop a lot of money on sweets and toys. It's easy to spend a small fortune in a place like this. Also, don't let your kids see Holland's Caramelcorn next door. They might get loaded up on sugar and then get popcorn cheese everywhere. How sweet it is.
