I've tried many of their goodies, and my favorites include her lemon bars, chocolate chip cookie bars, and puppy chow! Although you really can't go wrong with anything. She makes the most beautiful iced sugar cookies! It's hard to believe some of the designs that she comes up with. She always decorates them according to the season or coming holiday, which makes it even more fun. She has also added hot chocolate bombs, which are SO FUN! There are several flavors (peppermint, caramel, and Oreo; to name a few!). You can order through Facebook or email, but she also sells her items at Four Seasons Local Market (open Thursday-Saturday) and her shelves are always fully stocked with treats. I love supporting a small, woman-owned business -- especially when supporting means eating delicious desserts!

The Pie Lady on 5 makes all kinds of pies, and does it right. She sells from her house, so check out the website, call ahead, and swing by. We got a basic sugar cream. The crust is perfect- flaky, light. The filling is kind of like custard- thick, sweet but not overly so, with a hint of coconut (must be an Indiana thing) and a sprinkle of nutmeg. I end up having it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a pie only lasts a day or so with us. It's not quite like my grandmother's, but it's close, and it's a great pie.

I goggled "pie near me " and the Purple Mountain Bakery popped up! I accessed their website and the cheesecake pics sold me! I called and the owner walked me through the order procedure! I ordered my pie and picked it up the next day. We were delighted! Best pie I can remember eating in many years. Had another family over to share the bounty! Coffee and pie was a great way to brighten up a grey day in the Fort. You must understand that quality is not inexpensive. A bit pricey but worth it! Give them a call. If the cheesecakes are as good as the pies you will not be disappointed!

Bridy's is a fantastic local bakery in downtown Frankfort. My husband is a donut connoisseur and…read moresays Bridy's has the best in town. I'm a HUGE fan of the danish (all of them!) and scones. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the pineapple or cherry scone, but I've never had one that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. As for danish, cherry is super good, but all have been delicious so you can't go wrong. They are so light and flaky, with delicious filling. Check out Bridy's and support a local business that is really good at what they do. Saturday is half price donut day. Get there early before everything is sold out.

Got the brisket 1/2 pound dinner and the Bazingas corn fritters appetizer. Brisket is good, good flavor from the seasoning and smoke. Dry. But bbq sauce can fix that. Sides are very good too. I like the spoonbread (corn cake), taste like a softer corn bread. Glazed carrots are good too Bazingas corn fritters. I don't see that very often in other restaurants. If u like corn bread then u have to try this too. Everything was good. Definitely coming back if I had a chance

We seriously ate breakfast here EVERY day that we were in Monticello, if that tells you…read moreanything...even came for an afternoon snack one day. ;) My man and I are suckers for sweets (he more than me), and who can resist a perfectly crafted pastry? Not I! The first visit, we tried quite an assortment...we had a white cake donut with chocolate icing and sprinkles, a sour cream cake donut, and split a huge iced cinnamon roll (well, split half of it...and saved the rest for later!). We each had coffee, of which there was a nice assortment. I got a shot of raspberry syrup in mine, which was nice. It was good coffee too! We're Starbucks people (I know, I know), so it was a relief to find a place where we could get our morning coffee each day! On our other visits, we tried the biscuits and gravy, cheese Danish, chocolate croissant, more cake donuts, Baklava, and something else that I can't remember at the moment...but whatever it was, it was delicious. The assortment of food is mind-boggling...little carrot cakes, so many different donut varieties, cookies, Baklava, croissants, rolls, breads...you just cannot believe how much they have when you walk in! The food is all homemade fresh each day, and there are also loaves of different breads you can buy and take home. I really wanted to try a Chicago dog, because I do love a good Chicago dog, but we just didn't have time (or room in our tummies, what with all the pastries!). The service here was excellent as well. The people who work here are patient and friendly (they have to be patient because, believe me, it's tough to decide when all of those goodies are in front of you!), and always smiled and treated us well. This place doesn't look like much from the outside, and I was skeptical when we pulled up, I'll admit. But it won me over in a snap, and I'm trying to find an excuse to head up to Monticello just so I can pop in for a yummy treat! Okay, maybe Brookston because it's closer to Lafayette where my family still lives. ;) Either way, I'm sure the food and service are consistent. There need to be more places like this around... Yes, instead of so many Starbucks. :)

Love that Indiana has a Mango Mango! Tried mango sticky rice for the first time, and enjoyed it…read more The mango tastes so fresh and was the perfect sweetness. However, even after putting the cream, the rice was still very dry. The vanilla ice cream paired well with the mango. The brown sugar cream puffs tasted exactly like brown sugar but parts of it tasted a little burnt. There were lots of seats, and many people were playing board games or chatting. It's a nice place to hang out and get dessert. You can self-order on an iPad, which was nice. There's limited street parking, so you'll probably have to park somewhere else and walk over.

I was able to get in line and get some pastries from Beurre Sec Pastry. These are French pastries…read morethat are even more beautiful in person than the pictures I've seen. Yes, these are quite a bit pricer that's for sure. People were buying one of everything in line. I was like wow! Some Items the combinations of flavors didn't appeal to me. I love tiramisu and pecan pie so I got them both. One suggestion I would have is to have utensils and napkins at the table for people to use. The pastries I bought are really temperature sensitive and need to be kept cold. Both had a cream - mousse inside. They wouldn't last long only a day or to the next. I loved the pecan item I ordered. It was great! The tiramisu one I wouldn't order again. The bottom flakey part was so bitter. I love coffee and expresso and tiramisu. But, the whole thing just wasn't what I thought it would taste like. Now I know. :-( Creamy, sweet, smooth, with a kick of coffee all come together to make a great tiramisu. This is what most people love about it. I don't know if they are planning on opening a store or not. The pop ups are doing well it seems. I will try other items whenever I can get to one of the pop ups.

What went from ordering 1 pastry each turned into 8 total.. and we regret nothing. The Tiramisu Danish was exactly as I had hoped for! The bitter taste of espresso paired with the sweet mascarpone cream filling reminded me of the holidays when I would watch my mom make tiramisu for our family. While a lot of people prefer a sweeter espresso, I thought this was perfect and very true to a traditional tiramisu taste The Pear Kouglof reminded me of a fresh yeast donut that's been tossed in sugar This was a very kid-friendly pastry in taste and while I wasn't too blown away by it, it did make me wonder if I would have preferred it with a stronger, more potent, fruit. The Cherry Basque Cheesecake -- this pastry was the house favorite. The texture of this cheesecake was creamy, but somehow still spongey.. cakey, but more like pudding. Mix that with the juiciest sour cherries and the crunch of a biscoff crust.. mind blown was an understatement. We're looking forward to what Beurre Sec has planned for their next pop-up
