Thanks again for the delicious chocolates and great customer service!

Tick Tock Chocolates is one of my favorite little shops in Belmont…read more Whenever I need a gift for a host, a birthday, a "thank you", or a friend who's letting me stay at their house, this is one of the first places I think of. My default is usually the 9-piece box. If I really like you, you get the 9-piece box (lollll). Walking up to the display case can be dangerous; it's so hard for me to choose flavors because I really just want to try them all. There are rows of beautiful handmade chocolates in every color imaginable, and the flavors are so much fun: Vietnamese coffee, cookie butter (Biscoff), passionfruit, strawberry matcha, lavender, macadamia praline, local honey, salted caramel, and so many more. They also make seasonal treats. Around Easter, there are gorgeous big chocolate eggs that you crack open to reveal candy inside (I was SO close to buying one for myself ), along with adorable little chocolate bunnies. The chocolates are almost too pretty to eat. (I said "almost", mind you.) You admire them for a little while, and then somehow they mysteriously disappear into your mouth. NOMZ! My personal favorites are the Vietnamese coffee (of course) and the cookie butter, while some of my friends swear by the passionfruit and the fruitier flavors. I don't think I've had a bad one yet. But here's one thing that has always stuck with me, it's something that happened when I was in the shop one afternoon. A family was sampling quite a few chocolates, and I remember feeling a little bad for the owner because they were so patient and generous with everyone. I ended up making sure I bought a box to bring to friends that day, not because anyone pressured me or anything, but...don't you just wanna support a small business run by genuinely kind people? I haven't found a chocolate-loving friend who wasn't thrilled to receive a box from Tick Tock. (One of my friends are the 9-piece box in a weekend. I can't blame them, but...) Belmont is lucky to have Tick Tock Chocolates, and I hope they're around for a very long time.

The place was packed with shoppers and the place is narrow but everyone had one thing on their minds..... pick up the Best Greek foods!

Rancatore's Ice Cream and Yogurt is a neighborhood ice cream shop known for its house-made flavors,…read morefrozen yogurt, and rotating seasonal specials. We walked into a small, clean space with the feel of a longtime local favorite, the kind of place where the display case is filled with a mix of familiar classics and more adventurous offerings that make it hard to choose just one. The shop had a warm, unpretentious energy with a steady flow of customers coming in for a scoop, and the option to sample flavors before deciding made the decision process feel more interactive. The menu goes beyond the standard selections with unique flavors alongside classic favorites, making it easy to find something whether we were looking for a familiar scoop or something more adventurous. We tried a few options and found the Cocoa Joel standing out as a rich, chocolate-forward flavor that felt indulgent without being too heavy. The basil chocolate chip was another highlight, with a subtle herbal note that made it feel distinct from a typical chocolate chip scoop. Other popular choices like kulfi, sea salt caramel, mango, pistachio, and cookies and cream gave us plenty of variety to explore across multiple visits. The shop also serves milkshakes, sundaes, and customizable ice cream cakes, with generous portions that made even the smaller cup sizes feel satisfying. The quality of the ice cream was consistent, with a smooth, creamy texture that held up well against the flavors. The staff were friendly and patient throughout our visit, creating a welcoming atmosphere whether we were stopping in alone, with friends, or bringing the whole family. They offered samples without hesitation and guided us through the rotating selection without making the experience feel rushed. The shop itself is small and cozy, more focused on the ice cream than the seating, and it works best as a quick stop for a scoop rather than a place to linger for a long time. Overall, Rancatore's Ice Cream and Yogurt is an easy place to return to for homemade ice cream with a mix of classic and creative flavors. The quality of the ice cream, rotating flavor selection, and neighborhood atmosphere have helped make it a local staple for years, offering a dependable stop for a satisfying scoop whenever we are in the area.

Fresh baked cookies!…read more These cookies are so good! It is always such a treat to catch this place open and go inside to see what delicious cookies they have in stock. They have two cases filled with yummy cookies and depending on how many you are going to purchase they give you the appropriate size cute box which is very carefully packaged. This time we tried their lemon cookies, chocolate chip and Florentine and all were very good! I believe if you buy a dozen there is a discount but every cookie is little more than $2 but they are a nice big size. They always taste like they just came out of the oven! Nice and fresh!

I defy anyone to find a better cookie purveyor than Cookie Time Bakery. I have been going for…read moreyears, back when they were called Lakota Cookies. The gateway drug cookie for me was the Mocha Shortbread cookies, which I first found at Pemberton Market in Cambridge, and then noticed for sale lots of places around town. But when I found the mother ship it was all over. It's a good thing I no longer live in Arlington, or I would be in serious trouble. The variety of cookies is remarkable--linzer, tuxedo, florentine, shortbread, ginger, chocolate chip of course, butter cookies dipped in dark or white chocolate, you really need to look at the website to get the full appreciation of the creativity that goes into these cookies. There are always seasonal cookies on offer -- last month Christmas, now heading into Valentine's Day and soon Easter. The cookies are always moist and fresh, and you'd better plan to get there early in the day if you want your pick. I learned this the hard way when I sashayed into the store an hour before closing, mouth watering for my absolute favorite (now), the Toffee Turtle cookie. Those babies were long gone, so I had to "settle" for the next tier of favorites. In fact a few of those were gone as well. That'll teach me. Order early if you want an assortment to take as a hostess gift... you'll be sure to be invited back often as these cookies are showstoppers!
