Niagara Cookie is a great place to patronize in Niagara Falls. The owners are amiable and…read morehardworking. What they do, they do it in a significant way. They are a gourmet cookie company and take-out restaurant. They carry a unique variety of cookies that will impress any cookie eater. I have never been disappointed with the choices available. Every week, I watch to see what they cook and create next. They not only make cookies but also sell meal prep food at great prices.

I don't go to the outlet mall to go shopping. I go to indulge in a cheeky chocolate snack at the…read moreepitome of all chocolatiers, Godiva. You walk past this store and you can't help but be drawn into the tempting aroma of chocolate and next thing you know, you're already halfway finished with your chocolate trufflelata. The trufflelata is so rich and sweet, it's as if they took a handful of truffles and just made it into a liquid form. Which is exactly what this drink is. It's a liquid fire truffle. You choose from any of the flavours and then they take the corresponding flavour of chocolate truffle and drop in a few of them to produce the ultimate milkshake that will have your dentist shrieking. However, my favourite thing to get here is the ice cream cone because it is the perfect rich, creamy texture that is just so dreamy and Godiva really knows their chocolate, so I mean, the chocolate ice cream is no less than exquisite. And it's not too sweet, unlike the trufflelata, which can sometimes be a bit too much. Also, make sure to sign up for their rewards programme because you get a free truffle every month! Plus, they give you a punchcard where you get a free ice cream/trufflelata after 6 purchases. I have gotten 2 free ice creams no shame.

Mmmmmmm, does anyone not like Godiva Chocolate? I don't think so. So obviously when I came here and…read moregot some ice cream last weekend it was just as good! Stopped here on Sunday for a sweet treat and they did me right. On top of halving a plethora of chocolate everywhere, this Godiva also has soft serve ice cream and milkshakes. I ended up going with a chocolate cone with the goodies on the brim and they even put a piece of Godiva chocolate sticking out of the top! The ice cream was fantastic and definitely beats out most soft serve places I've tried, but then again, maybe I'm just biased because of that piece of tasty chocolate that was sticking out of the top? Who knows. Either way if you are walking around the outlet and want some ice cream, come here and give it a go!

After a brief stop at Niagara Falls on the New York side, we decided to stop at the outlet shops…read morebecause we had some extra time. And, by "we," I mean the wife made me drive her here, so she could shop. You know what they say, "happy wife, happy life." After dropping her off at the entrance for a head start, I parked the car and entered the mall. After seeing all the clothes stores when I entered, I couldn't believe it when I saw the Lindt store! The only ones I've seen were in Canada and in Los Angeles, places I'm rarely at. Lindt chocolate is one of my favorite brands (Kinder is still my favorite). To be able to see some rare flavors not seen in my local grocery store is good enough, but to be able to customize your own bag, is even better! I didn't have to buy full bags just to try a particular flavor. I ended up buying a few bags, all with a special Jamie mix. I have to admit, even after a buy a half-pound, get a half-pound free deal, it was still expensive. But, you have to pay for quality and Lindt chocolate is DEFINITELY quality. Money well spent.

North Tonawanda Farmers Market has clued me into many small ventures from the area. Jolie's…read moredumplings, Yommas spring rolls, and these cupcakes. I found them last year and was very impressed then. This year has only improved. They are there Thursdays and Saturdays all summer long. Some weekends they do some of the other local festivals, so check their FB page for updates. https://www.facebook.com/dmconfections Meanwhile, the cupcakes. Many varied flavors, some with cute names like the "Elvis" etc. Others are chocolate. Strawberry. Etc. These cupcakes are a good size, not too big, not too small, just right. They are generous with frosting, but its not overwhelming. Ive tried many of the regular flavors and many of the gluten free ones. If you pick out a gluten free with some others, they will package it differently if needed, without hesitation at all. Super focused on that. These cupcakes are creative and have fun names. I think they are a little sweet overall, but because they are packaged really well and the proprietors are just fantastic; I look forward to buying from them. They always have a smile and a moment to interact with customers. The cupcakes also store well for a day or two, just remember to take them out of the fridge a hour or so before eating them. Cupcakes are better room temp. 5 stars for the customer focus and general "being nice" 4 stars for the cupcakes, not all the flavors are consistent, and the gluten free, while very good, could be a little lighter I think. 5 stars for being very connected to the area and events in the area. They have not forgotten their roots. 5 overall. I hope they keep it up and continue to improve.

I went to the farmers market in north Tonawanda and I seen this stand. At first you think oh a…read morecupcake would be nice. Well I walked over got a great looking Swedish fish at first sight Well little did I know it was 2.00 for a cupcake? I paid it thinking over priced. Considering it takes .50 cents to make a cupcake. Maybe a batch So I bit into it. Let me tell you that the cupcake for 2.00 was rock hard frozen. Like biting into ice. The frosting was overloaded and tasted like crap. The cupcake didn't have taste to it. Disappointed. Then I have to say I said something to the owner. Well he certainly wasn't a peach to take care of it. He complained and said how it's fresh made. Well when you got frozen cupcake you bite into you expect fresh not old ones. So I asked for a new cupcake I wanted a peanut butter cup. Looked like maybe it was fresh. Well again customer service and cupcakes were rated a 0 Again the cupcake was rock hard. Tasted like they over put frosting and load peanut butter into it Honestly I had my wife before this eat blackouts and got a 12 pack ordered. She shows up at the house expecting a great looking house. GARBAGE outside. Things around by trailer. The house looked like a dump. My wife thinks ok I'll walk up to the door. Well that's funny cuz they had some bigger girl who was covered in frosting and supposedly baker came out with it. So she just gave them to her. Didn't greet her. Just plain rude customer service. So she got them. Walked back to the car. She tripped over there GARBAGE laying on the FRONT lawn. She called me screaming how bad they treated her So she got back home and was expecting dark chocolate. Well the baker who makes them isn't it supposed to be fresh? Maybe she was to busy on her cell phone and not paying attention or maybe it's they had freezers in the garage that they store them and resell old weeks of cupcakes. And try to get people sick and get people to think there fresh when there not. But she opened up the pack and she bit into it. What happened? She spit it out and said it was frozen solid and that she can taste the weeks old cupcake and can tell it wasn't fresh. That I'm taking it as they pulled out of the freezer door stuffed with event cupcakes and market ones and resell BAD cupcakes. Customer service and cupcakes 0 So here's the thing. I will suggest to every person who wants cakes or cupcakes to stay away from this place. Cupcakes and cakes are GARBAGE and rock hard and it tastes like shit. Next thing is copyrighting brookie??? It's not his idea. He must of seen cupcake wars or baking shows or shark tank to copy someone else's idea and say he thought of it and it's his own. Lol no that's fraud and completely fake. Honestly they don't deserve to sell cupcakes at events. They sell 2.00 making profit on every sale to support there .50 cent cupcakes and fund cruises every month. People at the market complained to me that they charge high so they can get expensive things. But do no charity or care about anything in the community. I don't see them donating money? No they have mold old cupcakes to sell at any event and market. So how about a 0 rating and say there worse than over frosted n f cupcake shop .. Maybe fire the baker .. Maybe to busy posting on Facebook how there moving and opening a second shop. I feel bad for them. Its not a business gunna be long before shut down and people complain. So anyone on Facebook who sees brookie. REPORT it. They stole that idea from tv and use it as there own. That's copyrighting. And needs to be taken off Facebook. Do not buy from this dump looking business. Tops sells better cakes. At least not frozen old ones. My advice. Maybe the cruises r more important and care more about themselves than be a business. They don't care about anything but freezer burned cupcakes. Health dept. Agric dept should be told. They got called once before for them. And the cakes he's selling are illegal. He is violating his permit he has for home processor. He can only sell cupcakes. Not cakes. So anyone buying cakes beware. Dept already told them to stop the cakes and he refused. So report the business

You can have frozen fruit mixed in, but I prefer sorbets. They do have a lot of the same toppings you find in other fro-yo chains, but I was pretty underwhelmed. I like the emphasis on all natural ingredients, but I still want to treat myself when I indulge in fro yo, and theirs missed the mark. Also, a lot of fro yo places similarly emphasize natural ingredients. I also prefer being able to prepare my own dish instead of feeling like I need to hurry up and make a decision, but I'm not holding that against them since it's in a food court and not free standing. I just don't feel inclined to visit again, convenient location aside.
