Back in early February, my partner and I were in College Station to visit family. We made our way…read moreover to historic downtown Bryan and checked out Cocoa's Pantry. Cocoa's advertises itself as a kitchen supply store, and they definitely carry plenty of upscale brands (Zwilling, Breville, Le Creuset). We, however, were there for the Chocolate Gallery. The kitchen is surrounded by glass, so you can see all of the chocolate delicacies being made. We stopped in a few days before Valentine's day, so chef was making chocolate covered strawberries. While peering in, we noted the Culinary Institute of America chef's jacket on the wall behind us. This elevated our expectation! We made our way to the Chocolate Gallery, where a lovely attendant explained offerings that included a variety of cakes and artisan chocolates. Though they looked delicious, we passed on the cakes and strawberries, and selected 3 artisan chocolates each. These are the type of chocolates that you savor, letting them melt in your mouth. The mouth feel of these gems was smooth with no waxiness or grainy feeling, and the varied fillings enhanced the complexity. This isn't a penny candy store, but you're getting fine chocolates. Unfortunately, we were so busy savoring the chocolate, that we didn't take any photos! I hope Bryan supports this store during COVID-19 so that we can visit again when we come back.

A great addition to Downtown Bryan. A great selection of cookware and cutlery.read more

I had switched to VFP many, many years ago and I am so glad that I did as I have always had top notch service with each and every script, which says a lot as I have 10+ scripts!! I enjoy utilizing their after hours call in, which I appreciate tremendously as there are times that I have 5+ refill requests which may take 3+ minutes on refills which is cumbersome. Though, I did love their grocery store too, so choosing their pharmacy wasn't a stretch for me!!!

This market has almost everything you would need to make most Asian food recipes. You will find lots of products that you cannot find at local chain grocery stores, including fresh produce items. Sadly, the store is not very clean, the lighting is dim, and the aisles often have boxes of product in them making it difficult to navigate. The prices are not clearly posted. There is product in the store that is expired, so be sure to check expiration dates. The staff, though limited in the English language, are always friendly. I will continue to shop this store because of the unique products they carry and my need for these products to make Asian food recipes that I really enjoy eating.

We recently visited Frida's Kitchen & Bar while in College Station for a game and date night, and…read morewe had a wonderful experience. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with vibrant, colorful murals and has a romantic, welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Service began with complimentary chips and dips, which were fresh and flavorful. We started with the Queso Fundido--such a generous portion, and we finished every bite. It was really good. For our entrées, we ordered Mima's Pasta Poblana and a half order of the Barbacoa. The Barbacoa was flavorful and very well done, but our favorite dish by far was Mima's Pasta Poblana--delicious, unique, and memorable. Service throughout the meal was good, everything was reasonably priced, and the overall experience was excellent. We're already looking forward to visiting Frida's Kitchen & Bar again and trying more from the menu.

We thought it would be some regular chocolate shop but were we presently surprised. Upon walking in we saw a lady making fresh chocolates within the mold. We were amazed with the beautiful display of chocolates. It felt more like an art gallery rather than a chocolate shop. Each chocolate could be there own art piece. That's how pretty the chocolates were. The owner was so nice and walked us through all of the chocolates. We were skeptical at first since the price seemed high for chocolate. After eating them the price was justified. This is some of the best quality chocolate I have had! This place is perfect for a special gift for someone, event, or valentine. Definitely recommended and I am glad we walked in!
