I didn't get to go until they were a few hours in but they had a pretty good selection left. It's a small shop next door to a Honeybaked Ham in a shopping center on Black Bob. Pretty easy to get to. Has several tables inside if you wanted to sit in but we just grabbed several cupcakes, a Dubai Brownie, and a slice of Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake. While they were already sold out in a couple of my first choices (Triple Chocolate and Cosmic) they had some others I was eyeing. Lemon Blueberry, Strawberries and Cream, S'mores, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Yummy. I think my faves were Chocolate Peanut Butter (how can you go wrong?!) and Lemon Blueberry. I haven't tasted the brownie yet but since brownie is one of my fave desserts, I imagine I'll like it. We were waited on almost immediately and they were super nice. They have a rewards program too which I get could be dangerous! lol They had quite a few different flavors of cookies as well and I noticed they had several gluten free options which is great for those who must avoid it! This is my first visit but I think they change out their flavors pretty often so I'm looking forward to trying some more!

While there is colorful wall art and murals, there is a sparseness to the interior, because there is only a small area to sit and socialize. But sitting and socializing isn't why you're there. You're there for the COOKIES!!! And the cookies are incredible. The 14 we bought were hefty. Don't worry, we didn't eat them all in one sitting. If we could, we would have though! You are getting your monies worth and more. The cookies are crispy on the outside, soft and crumbly on the inside. Even though each cookie weighs quite a bit, they're not actually heavy. We had all kinds flavors and while many are normal and in rotation, it seemed several might be seasonal. We got one of each flavor and were excited to figure out which flavor is our favorite. The woman who greeted us was so nice and accommodating! She answered all our questions and advised us on the flavors. We have neighbors we share with who have a nut allergy and she separately packed the cookies with nuts. We can't wait to come back! The only downside is that we live almost 30 minutes away. It is worth the drive!

To me, that's always a good sign, because it means that their product is in demand and they're not leaving old things on the table. They were apologetic and so very nice. I don't speak Portuguese so it was a little bit harder to understand all the different dessert options, but the one that I pick were delicious. Just the right amount of sweet but not excessive. This is probably one of the best empanada shells that I've ever had in my whole life. Super crispy and airy. filling had a lot of cheese. Great on those days when you wanna double (or quadruple) down on the cheese. It doubles as a butcher shop and a grocery store as well, so there's a lot of cool things you can get here, including freshly made sauces and chicharrones. I would definitely come back again!

My three pastor street tacos ($2.00 each) included a generous amount of moist and tasty meat on fresh, double layer, 4.5" tortillas with onions, cilantro, pineapple, lime wedges and three delicious salsas. My order was ready 14 minutes after I ordered at the counter, where the service was cheerful. I noticed a clean, basic interior with a small seating area and Mexican background music. I liked the reasonable price and the tasty tacos, but the menu did not include prices (must ask at the counter or receive mystery prices) and the staff were inefficient. Also, I must note that this business has had problems in the past because they have not always observed their posted business hours, but they opened at the posted time the day of my visit. Overall, I'm thinking 3.5 stars and rounding up for the great food.

Everything else dessert-related has grown basic, boring, and bland by comparison. Don't look back: you're not going that way. I haven't sampled everything here; however, I've never been disappointed by this place. My favorite is their strawberry rhubarb pie-- tart and sweet, even better with some vanilla ice cream on top. The classic apple is always a good choice--warm it up and prepare to die happy. Their caramel apple pie is rare and obscenely delectable -- DO NOT MISS THAT OPPORTUNITY! Their crust is flaky, buttery, and it pairs perfectly with the fruity goodness inside. The sugar sprinkled atop is their signature and what can I say? I never want any other pie again (don't tell my mom, okay?!). It's pointless. I can always count on sister-owners, Elaine and Jan, when I need to bring a treat to a get together. I have called numerous times at the last minute and they're always kind enough to set something aside or help me get a hold of the perfect little something. While pie is the star of the show, their pecan bars are equally delicious--salty n' sweet-- maybe just sinful! Also: did I mention they have the perfect hostess gifts? Tons of thoughtful presents for people you love, or just get yourself those darling oven mitts with dogs on them, you deserve it! I miss the days when I could come here with a friend and grab a cozy little table and enjoy a slice together. But you can take it to go and find a spot to sit outside-- or, if you're me, scarf it down in the car on your drive home. I love this place, I can't get enough, and it's always just what I'm craving.
