This is my second visit at Bouchée confections, and it was still as amazing as I remembered…read more This time, I took my mom for high tea and she loved it. She is gluten free and was impressed at how good all the gluten free items were, and how they were able to keep an extremely similar menu even. She only had one item that was completely different than what I received (a cheesecake instead of a fruit tart). You can really tell that they work hard to ensure the gluten free menu is as amazing as the non gluten free one. Everything was absolutely delicious, including the bottomless tea. I think the peach cardamom scone was my favorite today! I was happy that they could make my tea iced as it was a really hot summer day. The server was amazing, she was attentive and friendly. The place settings were super cute and I felt transported to England. I am definitely going to come back a third time with some friends! I love that the menu changes every month so you always have something new to try! Don't forget to make reservations!

I have been hearing about Bouchėe Confections and their monthly teas for a while and their June tea…read moredid not disappoint. The staff was friendly, professional, and helpful as this was our 1st tea time. The shop is bright and airy but it was a a bit smaller than I expected. The tea setting was beautifully done but our table was extremely small which made teatime challenging at times. During the teas each person gets their own pot of unlimited tea. We did the Jasmine Glow tea and the Strawberry Chocolate Pu'erh. The teas were amazingly delicious! They were so good that we bought some to bring home. The bites were flavorful, just the right size, and complemented each other beautifully. You could taste the love and care that went into each one of the items. They also offer 2 speciality adult beverages each month. The Prosecco float was my favorite! This was a wonderful and delicious experience. We can't wait for next month's tea!

Amber and Daniel always make me feel right at home! Very friendly and always going above and beyond to give us a great experience! The chocolates are always incredible! A few favs I have are the key lime pie, toasty blonde, lemon truffle, and the ebony and ivory! You really can't go wrong with any of them though!

We love Dorinda's Chocolates! They have been such a kind and consistent supporter of our work and…read morethe young people we serve. Their team recently welcomed our staff for a tour of their headquarters, and it was such a treat to see how much care goes into what they make. Every piece is handcrafted by their small local team, and you can feel the pride they take in their work. We also got to taste their seasonal Key Lime Pie Bonbon, which was incredible. On top of the tour, Dorinda's donated several huge bags of pretzels for our clients and staff to enjoy. Dorinda's has also participated in our But First, Dessert Gala every year from 2022 through 2025 and is a three-time winner of our Best Dessert Award, which says a lot because the competition is always strong. We are grateful to have Dorinda's as a neighbor, a partner, and a local business that genuinely shows up for the community. Highly recommend supporting this amazing local business and community supporter!

Wanted a caramel apple and decided to try the butterfinger caramel apple. I was quite surprised…read morewith how good it was especially since I opted to try something new and not get my snickers one. The ratio of caramel to apple to chocolate and the butterfinger was perfect. I also like the chocolate covered cheesecake but in my opinion it's better to let that one sit out a few minutes so the cheesecake is still semi frozen but soft.

Gin is amazing, such a nice lady! She made our experience extra special and memorable at this gift…read moreshop! It's people like her that go the extra mile to leave a lasting impression on our vacation. Thank you so much Gin we appreciate you, keep being amazing!

Finally decided to try brunch/lunch on a Sunday , we didn't make a reservation, however that wasn't…read morenecessary as we were immediately greeted and seated. Brunch is all day on Sundays however they do have a lunch menu starting at 12pm, so we ordered from each menu. The ahi nachos were great, thick pieces of tuna and a great sauce drizzled over. The Mushroom Lover's Omelette was fluffy and had a LOT of gruyere. The potatoes it came with were herbaceous and very well fried. While we didn't try the chocolate, their cocktails were cute and the DJ wasn't annoyingly loud. Someone celebrated their birthday here, which is the overall vibe of this place

A friend recently came into town, and since she loves champagne and chocolate, the obvious place to…read moretake her was Champagne & Chocolate. When we arrived, every table was full, so we grabbed seats at the bar. It turned out to be a great spot to watch the bartenders create beautiful drinks, including some of their signature cocktails served in a glass purse for parties of two or more. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, with groups celebrating birthdays and other special occasions. After looking over the menu, we decided on the lox crostini bites and the bruschetta. We each ordered a glass of sparkling wine. I added a chocolate rim to mine, which was fun to look at, although it didn't add much flavor. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed watching the flowing chocolate waterfall. Considering how busy the bar was, our food arrived quickly. The crostini were crisp, and both appetizers were fresh and flavorful. The only drawback was the volume of the DJ, but we knew what to expect as soon as we walked through the door. This is definitely a fun place for parties and groups looking for a lively night out. One last observation: I probably wouldn't choose this spot for a group of men. The décor and overall vibe are very much geared toward women, but the name says it all.

I came to the store to specifically buy some candy bars that I saw on Facebook. They are perfect for gifting! I found them immediately and was in heaven. Debbie explained them to me and there I went picking and choosing.... I ended up with 15 bars and was happy as a LARK to gift these out! Needless to say I went back for another 10 candy bars as I found the bourbon and pecan pie was my favorite and I needed more for myself and others. I'll post a pic and you can see the description of these candy bars! Thank you Debbie for the wonderful customer service and the candy bar you gifted me, I'll be seeing you soon when I need a unique gift!

During the pandemic, I have noticed a lot of places offer charcuterie, even if you aren't having an event. I found Hosted on Instagram and wanted to give them a try! They had so many options! I decided to order for Thanksgiving! The staff was so helpful in assisting with the order. And they deliver! Contact free delivery! One thing I loved the most, besides the delicious selection, was the staff gives you a list of what's on the board AND they support other local businesses!!!! I was able to support 5 local businesses by ordering this appetizer! I will order from Hosted again! And don't forget, they cater events as well!

It was super easy to place my order and make necessary changes before the delivery date. They were able to accommodate all my food allergies and the delivery process was seamless. The board itself was GORGEOUS. There were so many thoughtful little touches and the contents curated all worked so well together. It was perfect for our two person road trip and lasted into the next day. Hosted would definitely be my first choice for ordering a charcuterie board in the future. It made my life a lot easier not having to make it myself.
