If you've never had the Terrapin Ridge one, be sure to get one. I'm not a big mustard fan but this is so yummy! They provide samples of local honey and so much more. Great gift ideas or treat yourself. It's such a cute store, stop in off the Main Street. The staff is very accommodating and will provide recommendations if needed.

The free Cape May maps had a coupon for "free spice" so we went in to the joint Olive Oil Company…read moreand Spice Cellar, which were both lovely and interesting and well-organized. The nice clerks showed the two boxes of the free spices and offered suggestions all without a hard sell to buy something, but I was thrilled to also find and buy a bottle of Tikka Masala spice, something we've never seen for sale elsewhere! Amazing variety and a free goodie - glad we shopped!

I think this was my favorite find during my vacation this past summer. Walking in, were a ton of…read morevarious oils, with little cups to try samples. I found a few flavors I wanted, but the new owner was fantastic in recommending some other ones I haven't tried. I even went with one of them. My problem with these are that I don't want to use them up, because it will take a while for me to get back to this location. So many great varieties and no pressure sales. Amazing quality and I appreciate being told that the truffle oil was going to be somewhat pricey, even though the bottle was smaller. I knew that when I went to purchase it, but a nice heads up is always welcomed. You can't fill the bottles on your own, but they will fill them and place the labels on for you. It's better that way, because this way the labels will be straight.

Very sweet lady working when I was there on 7/12/21. The candy I bought was delicious and my dog…read moreLOVED the homemade dog treats a bought for her. Ill definitely be back for more!

The chocolate with nuts had very little chocolate flavor. The chocolate mint was not very minty and overly sweet. Sad. It seems as a good cause for teachers but flavors are lacking. Good price but not for what was received. I looked forward to some real good flavors. Unfortunately, I'll stick to the competitors next time.

Located in a cute village of shops, Buddy's ice cream had exactly what we needed. We got an ice cream sundae with the best oreo coffee ice cream, salted caramel and truffle ice cream (this flavor was my favorite), and some cookie dough toppings.

Many outdoor seating options throughout the "village". The store is very small only 4 people at a time can fit. And business is booming! The service is friendly and happy to offer samples. On the first nite, I got a half scoop of the Jersey Peach (I'm drooling as I write this!) and a half scoop of salted caramel truffle in a waffle cone. So good! The next nite, I got a sweet & salty sundae w salted Caramel ic, wet walnuts, mini choc chips, caramel sauce, whipped cream & cherry. Aaaah!!! If I lived down here, I would be at their place every evening!! Probably best that I live 2 1/2 hrs away!!

I love going into this store, even if just for browsing. The wonderful fragrant smell of coffee…read morealways hits you as you walk in. There are many specialty items to browse through. We purchased a few packs of sticky finger scones. they were easy to bake and good. We were there during the pandemic and noticed that they sanitized the pens for credit card signing. After using the sanitized pens, you put them in the used pile. They also had a giant bottle of hand sanitizer in the front of the store. What they could do better though, is to limit the number of people going into the store. There isn't a lot of space to spread out in the store. When we went in June, we were the only ones inside but then we went back in August, and it was too crowded for my comfort.

Bottom Line: Coffee, gourmet foods, and kitchen gadgets…read more This store has a great name and super cute logo. The delicious smell of coffee wafting out the front door makes it easy to drift in and take a gander. Inside there are tons of gourmet food items and various kitchen gadgets, tea towels, and such. I have a well stocked kitchen so I didn't add anything to my collection but I did check out some local products like Cape May Honey and a Beach Plum Vinaigrette or salad dressing. In hindsight I wish had asked about the Beach Plum dressing because I think it might have been a fun add to my pantry. Love the Cook is home to Cape May Roasters so you can also buy coffee here. You can get a fresh cup or a bag of whole beans or ground coffee to go. For those who prefer tea they carry an assortment of Republic of Tea teas which are great quality. Nice quality stuff and worth a gander. I would definitely visit again and perhaps try the coffee next time.
