    White chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie.
    Jan L.

    A major move in 2021 to Idaho Falls gives me the ability to explore new businesses. It is exciting for me to be able to review these offerings on Yelp. I usually don't frequent bakeries. But this was rated so highly, and I was always seeing people come and go, so I gave it a try. I was greeted warmly and given time to just peruse the selections. When I asked a question I've wondered about for years, "What is fruitcake made from?" I was given a good answer. It seemed each offering was tempting, but what finally got my full attention was a white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie. My next question was: "Do you have coffee?" The answer was yes, but we don't have anything fancy. Well, that was the answer for me. I told him I wanted this cookie and a black coffee. Of course I wanted to devour it right then. It was so tempting. But alas they don't have seating, so I found my car and moved it so as to allow others to park closer. Then I sat and devoured my cookie. It was even better than I imagined, and my imagination is very good. GRIN If you like bakeries, this is one to try. They have a nice selection and their coffee is good & fresh. They do serve fresh cream and sugar if you don't like it unadulterated. As I'm writing this review I'm almost certain I'm going to return to buy a fruitcake. The cookie was go good, their fruitcake has to be amazing.

    Tiger tail doughnut request
    Revue R.

    Great selection and tasty at affordable prices. Very quick to serve and casual setting inside. It's a breath or fresh air to not have to pay over $2.00 dollars for one donut and have a better quality. I have one request no one bakery that I've seen so far in Idaho Falls makes a tiger tail doughnut shown on the photo. Please discover this for your customers.

    Literally the best donut I've ever tasted. It was a raspberry jelly that was not too sweet, perfectly puffy, like a cloud of goodness.

    So first you gotta know this; I've always liked going out to eat as my entertainment highlight--and…read moreI'm no spring chicken. So I've had my share of pastries, breads, quiche, etc.. and well, they ain't my favorite. I looove coffee, everything is better with it! (Ok, milk and doughnuts rock too--but my coffee needs to be nearby to keep me in the right head-space.) So anyway, Deborah MADE me go to megpies yesterday. Thankyou Deborah!!!! It's in that cute little diamond in the rough, house/ business building on 1st street, just west of Holmes before Yellowstone. That building has had a history of failed businesses, probably because the parking situation is a little rough--Chapolera Coffee used to be there. So, you might get one of the limited park spots right out front on busy, narrow, first street. You might have to park across the street in the small, but free parking lot (usually plenty of spaces available), and walk across busy first street. You might have to walk up some balustrade stairs, to cross the quaint,and porch swing type nostalgic patio (no porch swing, just a vibe), with patio seating, before getting to the entrance. You might have to sit at one of the few inside tables, and wait your turn to order. But wait!--to leave would be a mistake. Though we didn't get to meet Meg, who I understand is a terrific person, so is the help who was there the day we went. There was three of us, and we'd never been. I was dead set on just getting coffee. But the perfect little displays of croissants and quiche just looked so tempting. The quiche I've had from other places in the past have been small, round, dry, little flavorless bites. But the Spinach Swiss & Bacon Quiche at Megs was sitting right there--rudely screaming at me, EAT ME!! So, as you can see, I had no choice. The croissants on display were Pistachio Cream, and they just looked, flakey, and filthy-- with a light bit of gooey pistachio cream sliced in, and a messy dark choclate drizzle scribbled across the top. So, as you can see, I had to teach this thing some manners. Ok all jokes aside, cuz coffee is serious business! If you can't do that right, everything else has got to be outstanding to bring me back. I don't do coffee drinks, mine is lighly sweetened coffee (preferably dark roast) with a shot of espresso, no creams, no flavors--no disquises. We will be going back to Megs!! The quiche was oustanding, flavorful and moist, without diluting the egg flavor, miraculous! That Pistachio Croissant, well lets just say, it changed me. I'm filthy now too, and lovin it!! The Coffee... Was really good !! I'm a rough customer when it comes to my coffee. I'm not gonna lie, if I were going to combine three different eateries to make my perfect breakfast, Megpies would definitely be one, but I would get my coffee at another local place.. sorry...it was more than good--enough. So, good coffee, good espresso, GREAT FOOD!! CUTE COMFY VIBE!! I would walk farther than just across the street to get here, and, no spring chicken. Thank you for reading, you can thank me after you go here!

    Great coffee! Had some delicious pastries…read more.. Friendly service! Love the character of the location...

    I've been patiently waiting for the opening & it's finally here!…read more I have been driving past the Twisted Sugar sign for months wondering what kind of exciting things the establishment would offer. Well, they have finally opened their doors & I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised. Twisted Sugar has officially entered the soda-shop game in Idaho Falls. They have a well-thought-out drink menu that features over 50+ options, not including your own combinations. I look forward to visiting again soon to try one of the Twisters (Ice Cream Smoothies). The Pineapple Whip Twister sounds delicious. I tried the Peaches & Cream with a Sprite base. It was good but I wish the peach flavor would come through a bit more. There are also a ton of fun cookie options - ranging from your everyday chocolate chip to something a little more indulgent like Banana Cream or PB Nutella. I always start with a chocolate chip cookie at new places. I'm a firm believer that if you can't get a chocolate chip cookie right, I don't want to risk trying anything else. It was pretty good, I'll be back for the Banana Cream. I definitely think I made the right decision by joining the loyalty program on the first trip.
