Depend on your luck, it could be a long wait even if you're second in line. Why? When kids are in the candy store, they can't make up their mind, especially if they cannot pick everything! There is always a showcase of what's available on a given day right now to the cashier where you place your order. Staff is always friendly. Once you paid, your name will be on the overhead monitor, showing where you are in line. The boxes are nice. Very presentable to bring to a party or dinner visit. The singles are $4.99 but there will always be a few selections that get tagged on premium charges. For example, today I ordered the "Jimmy Fallon Holiday Seasoning Candy Cane Brownie" which has a $.99 add-on charge. Another one, "Caramel Toffee Butter Cake" has another $1.49 premium. It's definitely not cheap for a cookie. Oh, can you believe there are over 1,210 calories in that one big brownie!! Did I say decadence?! It's definitely a place to be if you are depressed.

What a GEM!! This bakery is one of of the best I've ever visited!!…read more The staff was friendly and engaging... Hadassah was particularly a stand out. The baked goods were very fresh.. I especially enjoyed the variety of whoopie pies!! Chocolate with peanut butter filling was my favorite, but there were pumpkin, red velvet, oatmeal and even gluten free!! The bakery was clean and neat and had lots of other items in the gift shop. Don't miss it. I have told everyone in the area about it since I was there... Wish I lived closer!

I liked how it was packaged nicely in a little container of one lol. (I also got a pack of 6 for a coworker's birthday--picking the flavors: pumpkin, vanilla bean, cookie dough, snickerdoodle, caramel latte, and another strawberry crunch). The strawberry one was beautiful--a vivid pink and the texture of the cake was very moist with the icing perfect without being too sweet. Will definitely be back to try other flavors!! They also do holiday specials so I went ahead and placed cookie orders for Halloween. Very excited to try those next week!! Parking wise it is a sharp turn in on a hill (if you're coming from the direction of Costco/Target) but there are a good number of spaces, not hard to park once you find it.

The oatmeal creme pie was decent, however the filling was extremely sweet and generally unbalanced. The texture of the cookie was impressive though, and it was good size. The brownie was just okay. The texture was okay, but the flavor was really lacking. The texture of the crème on top was nice but tasted of soap in a weird way. The pastries weren't good enough to go back despite staff being cool and having a cute small seating area. They also had a very small drink selection.

It's you and you in this world, not you versus you. The fat signal lights up the ambrosia sky and I jiggle my rolls into my fat mobile. Trusting my instinct, I drive. My pet mule Pacho's friend chimpanzee was right, sometimes you just gotta throw that brown stuff at the wall and see if it sticks. Before I tangent, let me compliment the staff. A very friendly woman asked me my favorite shape. I was flustered and confused. What does that mean and why. What is my favorite shape? Turns out I don't have one. "Triangle" slips out from between my unconvincing and partially shamed moist and ever succulent lips. She had hoped for a more complex shape. I failed her. But she didn't fail me. Tangent time. The rubber on my near rubber-less tires squeal as I continue my marathon thru PA. For what have I done to deserve such wear and tear? Yells my poorly crafted American vehicle. You guess the brand. You're probably thinking something exquisite and luxurious but think again. Linguini is a working man - like YOU - but not like you at the same time. As so, I've traveled near, far and between PA. I have hit it all. How? I'm not sure. But that's how life goes. One day you're staring at your reflection in the mirror - pondering - and the next day the mirror shatters at the sight of you as you spend not a second in thought. I navigated this downtown in Simpsons Road Rage style. Rippin thru walkways and going oppo on one way streets. No cops. The citizens trolly around in their hipster gear without a worry. This town is like if Albany had an ugly baby. Took no genes from the father. Some question who the father really is. Not me I can promise you that... this time. The scents from the homeless soaking in the Susquehanna River detracts from the chocolate wind breezing over from nearby Hershey. And now I've got the squirts. Some innocent porta-potty is gonna pay for this. (Confirming, one did. An elementary aged girl was the next one into that potty. I'm sorry. You didn't need that trauma.) Anyways. My cinnamon bun was frosted right in front of me and my cookie was slipped into a paper bag for me to enjoy on the run. I'm an important person, I don't have time for leisurely walks. My days of pondering are over, thank goodness I used them, wisely? I leisurely walk out of this bakery in thought and immediately forget where I parked. Trouble? No. I'm surrounded by me, a cookie and a cinnamon bun. What could go wrong? Well, I take one bite of my delicious cookie and lose my sense. I immediately get accosted by a street preacher. She squares me up, disrespects me and the cross around my neck. "Anyone can wear one of those" she proudly attempts in a mogging fashion, with a mug face. Straight from the playbook, but I'm eating a cookie and I can't remember where my car is. So I entertain her. Fool? Maybe. Her heart is in the right place, but her approach and sense of superiority diminish her message. I decided to humble myself, for the Lord, as she couldn't... and I shared in prayer. I told her "hey I'm walking to my car and I'm gonna be eating this cookie but please help yourself." Help yourself she did. Educated me, LB, the dimwit. And as I used her as decoy to find my car, out of thin air, apparently, I was reborn. I now, out of the blue of the tantalizing and persuasive moon, turned born again Christian in the midst of Harrisburg. Or so I was told. I munched down the last bits of my fantastic cookie as I looked this woman dead in the eyes and prophecized "Have a great rest of your day." If not me, then who? Not YOU. The cookie was really scrumptious though... every once in a while I looked over at her as she pestered me down the street and I mumbled "man this is a good cookie" as if she cared any bit about me, my life and my experiences. Self-righteous joke deeep out the pocket, good one LB. And yet, after all of that, i still haven't got to the best part. With the truth of god leading me, flowing through my body, I physically cannot lead you astray. One of the best buns I've ever had - and it's crafted to my very liking. As if manifested just for LB. The icing was sufficient and very frosty. And oh... AMAZING BUN. If this thing was cooked for 1 less second it would be raw. Moist. I could've polished back a few but I couldn't go back for 99 reasons. And, unfortunately, I likely will never be back. But we'll always have this moment. And I hope that YOU, the reader, has this same moment one day. An amazing bakery in the heart of the heart of freedom. A country built on the word of God. 250 years in, with no semblance of the true meaning of Freedom and Pursuit of happiness we trek on. Proud, superior and hosting the World Cup. Cheers to us, Cheers to cinnamon buns!

Indulged in some sweets at this small dessert shop inside Hershey's Chocolate World in Hersheypark…read more This shop includes lots of unique and delicious dessert options (ie: fudge, cookies, cheesecakes, cupcakes, etc). The ambiance is very simple, but it included great on theme decorations like the melted chocolate on the walls. Ambiance rate: 7/10. I ordered... 1. Peanut Butter Explosion Fudge: This large slice of fudge was yummy and incredibly sweet, almost overly sweet! It had a great mix of peanut butter and chocolate flavor with reese's pieces incorporated into it. Price: $10. Rate 8/10. 2. Peanut Butter Cookie: This cookie was very scrumptious! The peanut butter and chocolate flavor melted nicely in my mouth. It was also super soft and warm! I liked how it included reese's peanut butter cups and pieces. Price: $6. Rate 10/10. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Service/staff rate: 7/10. Overall, this is definitely one of Hersheypark's dessert shops to stop at if you have a big sweet tooth!

Sweets upon sweets!…read more This is located in the gift shop right before you enter the park. You do not need an admission ticket to enter this store. There was so much to choose from. I kept eyeing all the display cases and I couldn't decide. I asked the kind employee what her favorite thing is, and she can only pick ONE thing. It took her a few minutes to decide but she said the cheesecake..so that is what I went with. I had the cookies and cream cheesecake. It was a decent size. Flavors were great. Definitely got a cookies and cream flavor in each bite. I also loved the piece of cookies and cream candy bar on top. It cost about $10, and I feel that's a fair price. As already mentioned above, service was friendly.

He's been on Chocolate Ave. for about two years. His fudge flavors are incredible. There's Almond Joy, Reese's, Mr. Hershey's Chocolate, etc. To top it off (literally), he puts actual candies in them! The price is $14/lb. He offered to let me sample some flavors, but I declined, since I knew what I wanted. I went with the Almond Joy and Mr. Hershey's. Both were fresh, and it was evident that they were made with quality ingredients. I enjoyed the unique Almond Joy flavor, and the Mr. Hershey's was so soft that it melted in my mouth like buttercream. I practically ate the entire pound in one sitting (immediately after leaving the shop), and I have no shame. It was certainly worth the 40 minute drive! Thanks, Eric!

The heat of the day melted my winter brain, promenaded me by my spring slumber and slipped me…read morestraight into summer mode. The signal of sweat ignited the inner petition for a sweet treat - particularly one of a frozen delight. I surveyed the Carlisle and Harrisburg market for local legends, amidst the mass never-ending chains, and I landed on Masseys which from the outside appeared to have the right to call itself a landmark. Wait... LB... what are you doing in... don't worry about it. Labors. Completing my labors. The old school vibe and the trixie tang of Chanel No.5 cream told me most of what I needed to know. This was gonna slap, snap, snip, snop, stomp, twist and tuck. And if it didn't - I'd fall to my knees right in that parking lot. I'd be forced to bow down onto my knees and beg to the Gods for strength as Heracles once did during his own labors. For my penance, as those before me, I'd continue across a distance on said knees to showcase my humility and my humbleness like nobody else is capable of. Lucky for me - I popped open the door and was welcomed with delightful attitude. Everyone in the vicinity was happy. Not one mildly content face, nobody sad. All happy people eating happy ice cream. GREAT SIGN. And listen. If ya know the playa, ya know the game. Custard is superior. If custard is available... I'm crushing some custard baby. Book it, bake it and shake it baby. Yea shake that thing. I'm gonna take that thing. So yes. I peeped that menu for a split pea of a second and I jumped on the train. Up the coast and through the valleys. I end a top the Arctic Mount. Swiveled, churned and concreted. Atop the mountain I laid out a yell, a yell so grand it shook the shoulders of Atlas who did his best to maintain the weight of the world I run on his shoulders. Now... we ain't talking about ice cream. We talking bout Custard. We are talking about custard. THIS... THIS is custard. This is maybe dictionary custard. This is thicker than Aunt Jemima (RIP). This is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. Thiccc will triple Cs. Dense... dowry worthy in its declaration of density, dominance and delivery. My hotel was nearby, but because of its stature I had no worry of waiting to eat it until I arrived back. Zero drip and almost no melt. Vanilla custard, M&Ms and brownie bits. The brownies were some of the best mixed-in brownies I've ever had. A weaker man wouldn't have finished this concoction. But I'm 16, 17, 20 something % body fat and I run on the saturated fat of this cream. Eggy, creamy, sweet, filling... really hit the shpotttt. Satisfied and stomichfied - My lackluster excuse for abdominals stiffened and became more defined as happiness is the true path towards washboard abs. Massey's, an underrated Yelp gem. If you don't have access to quality custard this will blow your mind. As a custardy cutie myself this didn't absolutely trample my temple - she ain't the best I ever had, nor in that convo - but she was well worth my time and more than worth the dime. I'll never be back in Pennsylvania as I've now concurred all the communities, courts, towns and cities. Every single area. Seen. Labors Done. Whatever... enough about me and my glory. Cheers to Masseys. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Mount of your Arctic. A 5 outta 5.
