Terrific place for gifts!…read more I got an email from Yelp recently, telling me about places I should go visit. I saw this Chocolatier in Carrollwood and knew I needed to visit. Located on N Dale Mabry, in the same plaza as Burger 21, Peterbrook Chocolatier is open most days until 8 or 9 PM (except Sundays). This is very convenient for a busy person like myself. I rolled in around 7 last night, and was warmly greeted by Pam. I told her I was looking to get some gifts to show appreciation for some folks and she showed me the most popular items, and then gave me freedom to wander and collect. These folks cover so many things is chocolate. Potato chips, Oreos, Graham crackers, espresso beans, malt balls, raisins, gummy bears, toffee and so much more. They have a very large selection of ready to go baskets full of goodies for Valentine's Day, or you can have one custom made with treats you know your sweetheart will adore. They also have a case of beautiful chocolates you can have boxed (they have heart ones for the holiday!) and Gelato for a yummy snack. I bought a few extra things for myself, and I must say, the chocolate is delightful. I tried the dark chocolate covered candied oranges and they were fantastic. Highly recommend visiting this place for a tasty treat for yourself or someone else.

You won't believe it's real chocolate and not some pretty, shiny, delectable nothing. And please, have the ice cream, or sorbet or gelato. You'll die again and again and again with each spoonful of creaminess. The 3 of us had NEVER had ice cream this amazingly delicious. Anywhere. All edibles here are hand made by no one but William Dean himself. I have no idea who he is but the 3 of us sure know William Dean knows what he's doing and he does in at the expertise level.

This place is a true gem in Plant City -- great people, amazing chocolate, and fair prices. We'll definitely be back!

Colombian spots like this are my jam & it's been on my list to visit for a minute now. The breakfast Sammy definitely set this place apart from the rest. I'd never heard of this before and honestly it's quite genius. I went on a Saturday morning and boy was it busy busy! I placed my order with the friendly attendant the wait was a bit long but there was plenty of seating inside (i didn't realize how big this place was inside!) so i sat with my book and before i knew it i was walking out with my order! Thankfully i don't live far so i was home with my order in no time. The breakfast waffle Sammy was delicious i ordered mine with sausage and split half of it with my husband. It was soft and cheesy and I'd definitely get it again next time. I also ordered 3 regular pan de Bonos, an arepa con queso, alfajores, and i heard the guava and cheese muffins were a must so i grabbed one too. Oh yeah and two cafe con leches. I see they have lunch as well so I'm gonna have to go back for a lunch Sammy and maybe some empanadas. I love that they have all the tables inside. It's a cute spot to meet with friends for cafecito and treats.

Everything tastes fresh, rich, and perfectly indulgent. The vibe is fun, the desserts are amazing, and it's the perfect place to treat yourself and catch up with friends.

The lady who greeted me was super nice and friendly recommended me a couple flavors which I ended up going with the cookie butter and also the new banana pudding cake. After paying and leaving, we ended up eating him in the car and they absolutely nailed those flavors. The banana pudding was really good, soft cake with banana pudding, and their original on top. The cookie butter was a star. It's a cookie butter cake with cookie butter icing their original frosting, and they even had Biscoff cookies baked into the bottom. It was really really good.

Oh…read moresure, you think "I can just buy one", but then you can't pick just one flavor because they are all so good. Then you get home and think "I can eat just a little" but then those late night craving hit and next thing you know.... These cakes are very well done and taste even better than they look.

I must be the only person who didn't know that Mike's Pies is hidden in an office/warehouse space…read moreon Windhorst near Falkenburg Road. They've been there for 3 years now. I was still getting their key lime pies at Winn-Dixie up until this past week. For those who are not local, they started their business in Tampa over 30 years ago. The pies can be found nationally at restaurants and grocery stores. They happened to be one of many contestants in a pie contest on GMA recently which prompted me to look up their address. They are closer than I thought. As others have said, it's hidden. Thankfully I read the reviews stating that because it still took me a while to find it. I had also read that you need to call ahead if you want something specific, or during the holiday rush for pies. I went on a whim to see what they had available. They had many frozen pies, and I believe some were being held for pick up orders. She said there was one seasonal guava cheesecake left. At that point, I didn't even really care what other flavors they had. I think they had key lime, pecan, and others. It was guava that screamed the loudest to me. It was a very quick transaction after that. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I kept it in the car for a while because I had other errands to run. It defrosted enough were I could pull out a slice of it and pop the rest into the freezer (yep, it can be refrozen). These cheesecakes are already pre-sliced which is very convenient. Mind you, these are larger than any of the Mike's Pies sold at grocery stores. There are 12 big slices in this cheesecake. I couldn't wait for my slice to defrost. I went ahead and ate it partially frozen. It was the best cheesecake ever! The guava is not just on top of it. It's mixed inside the cheese cake. It had guava in every bite. It ended up being so creamy towards the end as it continued to defrost. Maybe because I took my sweet time savoring each bite. I so wish this flavor was on their regular local menu. I remember seeing it on the menu at Fat Willie's Fish Camp back in September but they ran out of it. I feel like this cheesecake was meant for me to find. I will get it again whenever it's back on the local menu. This cheesecake will have to last until then.

Seriously - when you are craving dessert, this is absolutely the best place to go. I went for a…read moreYelp event a while back, and it reminded me just how good their desserts are, so when my friend and I wanted dessert to finish off my birthday celebration, coming here was obvious. The women behind the counter were helpful and friendly. When I asked for opinions and suggestions, they had plenty based on my likes, and in no time at all, I had a warmed up incredibly rich and delicious Magic Toffee Bar in front of me. So crazy good, I could only eat 1/3 of it, but it made for a delightful treat the next day too. The description of it is as follows: buttery Graham cracker crust with milk, dark, and white chocolate chips, bits of toffee, and topped with coconut. I also highly recommend taking a treat or two from their samples jar. Their toffee is clearly the best in the world, and every bite is a treat. If you're looking for the perfect holiday gift - look no further than their toffee. They have their own parking lot, which is always a bonus in this part of town, and inside was clean and bright, with plenty of seating, and free glasses of water.

I'm talking cake, dessert bars, ice cream, coffee drinks, cookies ALL UNDER ONE ROOF! Quite a rare feat, as everything here is outstanding in taste and quality, so this will be my new go-to premiere dessert spot for all my sweet tooth needs (and those needs are great, trust me). I've been here before for a Yelp promotion and was able to sample some of what they have to offer, and seeing that they have red velvet cake, I knew I had to get some, of course. The slice is HUGE, so make sure you plan accordingly if you eat it at the shop. But this a generous, three layer, rich and moist red velvet cake that has the right hint of cocoa flavor that a red velvet cake should be, lovingly held together with a smooth cream cheese icing that is pleasantly not overly sweet. A true southern classic! I had one scoop of ice cream to go with it, their espresso chip. The one scoop was surprisingly HUGE, so I'm glad I went with that instead of two. I customized this by adding the toffee sauce on top of it for a unique twist. It went great with the cake and had a nice smooth flavor to it. I rounded off my dessert with a double shot of espresso for a nice finish. The staff here is super welcoming and friendly on approach. It was a pleasure and a joy to chat with them. The interior is super cute and cozy too, an inviting place to sit and enjoy your dessert. I've been looking for a dessert spot to hang out for a while, so I'm so glad to finally say, I'm home!
