    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!

The private area for hosting was open for reservations and our book club met there. We had about 10 people but I would say this space is big enough for about 20! They have a full bar for drinks and mocktails and they also have some small plates for eating or sharing as well. I recommend the mezza plate! Very delicious. Staff were warm and welcoming and super nice and accommodating to our group. I would suggest stopping in for a nice drink and appetizer and maybe even pick up a good book! They have lots of comfy seats for you to enjoy your purchases.

    Genevieve's Cheesecakes and Bake Shop continues to be one of my go-to spots to satisfy my sweets…read morecravings in 2026! The staff here are wonderful, I feel so welcomed when I walk in and I think I've gotten to know them pretty well. I really look forward to coming in and having a chat each time I stop by to satisfy my sweet tooth. My go-to's are the Cookies & Cream mini cheesecake, Mud Pie mini cheesecake, and their Chocolate Chip Pie slice! If you're a red velvet cake-lover like I am, stop by around February for their Red Velvet mini cheesecake! Their scones are soft and muffin-like (they call their scones "scuffins") and if you're there on a Saturday morning, get one of their cinnamon rolls as it's coming out the oven - It's phenomenal! Looking at Taste of Buffalo 2026's socials, I saw Genevieve's was there and introduced a new cheesecake flavor: Strawberry Crunch! I usually don't go to Taste of Buffalo so I was really glad to see Genevieve's was continuing to sell it in their shop. I picked up a Strawberry Crunch mini cheesecake as well as an old favorite, their Mud Pie mini cheesecake for weekend of indulgent treats. I've swooned on about their Mud Pie flavor so I'll skip that and go straight to my Strawberry Crunch mini cheesecake review - In short, I REALLY enjoyed this! The graham cracker crust pairs nicely with the vanilla cheesecake and those creamy strawberry crumbly-bits. This encapsulated the flavor and texture of that classic ice cream novelty nicely! The mini cheesecakes are dense, a nice treat you can share (or not, I don't share mine :) ). I'm glad to see that their pricing has remained incredibly reasonable as well. Genevieve's Cheesecakes and Bake Shop is truly a great place with friendly, accommodating staff and high-quality desserts and treats! I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    I was excited to take advantage of the post-Italian Fest special on discounted cheesecake slices…read more My mom treated me and the kids to a variety of flavors, and we decided to make it fun by doing a blind taste test. 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!
