    Hummingbird Cake!

    I went to Amherst to try out Lloyd's on my last day of vacation and as an added bonus, Sweet Hearth was there. I checked out their menu while I was waiting for my Lloyd's order and decided to get something to take home with me if I had room left. I am glad I did! The menu had lots of different items so if you wanted something with fruit, or chocolate, or peanut butter, you were set. The service was fast and friendly and the owner was very appreciative of the business and to those who mentioned signing the petition for food trucks in Amherst. It was hard to decide what to try, but I went for the Hummingbird Cake (banana, pecan, pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting). It was $4.75 and I got a HUGE piece of it. If you went to a restaurant and paid that, you would get something about half the size of this slice. I am a baker and am picky when it comes to desserts and rarely buy them because I am usually let down. I was not disappointed at all. The cake was three layers and every bit of the cake was moist and flavorful. I am not a huge frosting person usually as it is often too teeth-achingly sweet and covers up the cake, but the cream cheese frosting was delicate and still had that tang of cream cheese, which it should. I ate every bite of it. The cake was on a sturdy plate and wrapped in foil and was easy for me to drive home with, or I could have ate it standing up. I will definitely keep and eye out for The Sweet Hearth around town and highly recommend it!

    With all the delicious-looking dessert options at Food Truck Tuesday, it was difficult for us to make a decision. I definitely have no regrets about my decision to go with the Pumpkin Cupcake from Sweet Hearth. It was so perfectly moist and the frosting was delicious.

    How have I eaten at the restaurant next door (Nana's Mediterranean - delicious btw) and never…read morenoticed this bar/bookstore? Yes, I wrote bar slash bookstore in my previous sentence. Like c'mon! Imagine, you can have a cocktail and/or an appetizer and relax reading a book on the couch. Yes, I love this idea, I'm all about it. The place is small but seating is nicely spaced out, it's super cute and cozy, a modern rustic vibe, totally made me want to start my own book club just so I could be the cool person that hosts a gathering here! I came here for a Galentine's Day - Self Love Birthday gathering that was situated in the back room. It's a small room to the back left of the place where 12 people can sit at the three tables and there's a love seat and two chairs with a table accommodating 16 people and a couple more for standing room. We ordered three appetizers at the bar (see my pictures) and everyone ordered a mocktail. They brought the food over to our area but didn't ask who ordered the food or where to put it, they just kind placed it down and walked away. Appetizers were about $8, I was told the Buffalo Chicken Wing dip was not that good but I didn't try it. I ate the Mezza plate and appreciated it, would order again. I think this is a cute date night visit or a bring your bestie and chill kind of place. I'll definitely come back again with a friend to hang out, chat a bit and check out some books!

    Very cool vibe and the perfect space to host a book club . Books for sale, as well as small plates…read moreand beverages . Our gals just ordered at the counter , and someone brought us our order to the couch (I had to pre-reserve the couch online , but it was free of charge .) Parking is a bit tight in the lot . My chicken wing dip and mead was pretty good . Some books on clearance/discounted would be great . I'd go back to hold another meeting there .

The cotton candy caught my eye but we ultimately decided on the Red Rapture! After you order from the window outside, you make your way indoors for your dessert. The Red Rapture was so delicious! The cream cheese frosting made it so decadent and creamy. We ended up splitting this between two people and asked for a cup to make it a little easier to eat on the go. Our soft serve was beautifully crafted, service was friendly and fast, and the soft serve was so good! It's a shame this is in Canada but it was easy enough to walk to from the Falls. Highly recommend! And you can even shop around for some souvenirs while you wait for your order! It's a win win!

Overall pretty plain flavors and they don't do any mix-ins. Just toppings so once you are done with toppings you're just eating a big plain vanilla ice cream essentially. They worked through the line fairly fast. The girl at the register taking orders was extremely unpleasant and rude. The workers serving the ice cream inside were a lot nicer though they didn't really seem to understand how to make some of the orders. It was weird. I'm glad we got to try it but I recommend going somewhere else for a sweet treat.

To my surprise, it was much harder than I expected to tell the cannoli, tiramisu, Nutella, amaretto, and loganberry cheesecakes apart. They all had a rich, creamy texture and a strong vanilla flavor that tied them together, which isn't a bad thing at all. My daughter declared the loganberry her favorite, while my one son couldn't get enough of the coconut slice (really it's amaretto). As for me, I think I'll just have to keep eating more cheesecake before I can confidently pick a favorite!

We settled on a lemon cookie (mmmm, very lemony), 2 mini cannoli (the filling is put into the shell while you wait for that absolute fresh taste, no soggy shells here); and a slice of pnut butter pie. that pie was amazing! look at the size of it, in the photo below, for only $5.00! pnutbutter lovers heaven. on the one hand, it's unfortunate that the shop is so far away from us; on the other hand, it's better for us that it's so far away~
