Got a couple treats from this shop a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed myself…read more This place is located in a more residential part of Decatur. I was surprised to find it in the old Whisk'd location -- RIP to Whisk'd; I loved that restaurant. Street parking only but the street is quiet and it's easy to pop in and out. Inside there's a huge array of confections: classic chocolates like turtles, chocolate covered pretzels, marshmallows, etc., as well as fresh baked cookies and a somewhat startling amount of freeze dried candies. I know that's sort of having a moment right now, but WOW there was a lot of freeze dried stuff to choose from. I don't dislike it but I prefer chocolatey treats so I skirted around the big display. I came about 1.5 hours before closing and will admit the selection (other than freeze dried) was a little sparse. I'm glad they're not letting products go to waste, but in the future, definitely come early if you want to ensure you get everything. More than one customer asked/called in for something only to be turned away while I was shopping around. Of course, the holidays might also have something to do with very high demand. Anyway, I wound up leaving with two cookies (only about four varieties were available when I arrived -- I took a chocolate chip and a brown butter cookie), three chocolate covered pretzels, and one pecan turtle. The service was limited to being rung up at the cash register, but the employee was nice in our limited interaction. My husband and I enjoyed all the treats over the following days! The chocolate was smooth and rich on pretzels and pecans, the caramel chewy and satisfying. The pecans and pretzels were both crispy and fresh -- no problems with staleness here. The cookies were good, too, though perhaps a tiny touch oily. I liked the brown butter better but both were enjoyable! They're the perfect size to share. I'd definitely return here for sweets!

EM has a smaller grocery area; there is a limited Carnecería, including several frozen items, and many popular Mexican brands. One standout as we entered was a counter of sweets that included Corazon de Leche (Heart-shaped Milk Candy). Some of the products we jotted down were Naturas Costa Rica, Sofrito Basico Queso, and Pachanga™ Michelada Mix Original and Hot/Brava; there was a large Tortilla section, as you can see; also, a decent frozen dessert case, of which my friend availed herself.

Quick Take: BOGO Tuesday, free apple pie with the Ham Panini with Raspberry Jelly..yes please!…read moreFriendly service, food tasted good, decent prices...would come back. The meat tasted good as always. The Ham Panini with Raspberry Jelly was tasty. I have two gripes with it. One, the jelly made that half of the sandwich very soggy. I ate it in the restaurant so it wasn't like I took it home. Two, the ham slices are not too thick, but thick enough where it is hard to bite through at their size without pulling the meat out with the soggy bite. The apple pie was also tasty, but don't heat in your microwave at home as it is in a foil tin. We sat at a high top and all the chairs there were rocking and bent. Be careful. Also, guys, come on...don't pee all over the toilet. Guys have to be better. I don't blame the restaurant but the bathroom could have been cleaner.

The staff are friendly and efficient! The food I receive is always correct. Looking forward to…read moremy next visit!!

This is NOT a restaurant, but a grocer's and bakery...in fact, so far, LEF&FM has the best…read morePanadería I've seen in North Alabama! Our eyes popped, mouths fell agape, and rumors of fainting abounded. The overall shopper's experience here is the best in Decatur. Among the Pan Dulces (Conchas, Ojo de Buyes, and such), we espied something similar enough to Chocolate-covered Doughnuts to make us kill for it. But we had a bag of goodies we'd already purchased and somehow staved ourselves off. Formerly at 6th Avenue, LEF&FM is a must visit. Oddly, four of the other Supermercados are within walking distance and thus in direct competition, a move seemingly both unwarranted and unwise, unless a concentrated Hispanic population in the immediate area ensures their collective viability. I can't say. The first items you'll notice as you walk in are the greens and such in the well-stocked and eye-catching produce area, and the atmosphere was well ratcheted up in our estimation due to the fact that the employees were all friendly. LEF&FM had a wonderful dairy department, stocked with Queso this, Quesillo that, Quesadillo these, and Crema those. Some cheeses had Jalapeno, others, Loroco, which is evidently a flower bud of Central American origin. The popular Cotija Molido, which is merely grated Cotija, was also evident. It's one of the crumbly cheese you'll see in Mexican food...in fact, I believe it's one of the ones of which you might say, "Why doesn't it melt?" In addition to the bakery and dairy areas, the display of "soda pops" (to import a term) and such was better than average. Yes, they have Jarritos, but also have Foco, Boing!, Tiky, and several others, some of which are actually Asian in origin, rather than Mexican or South American. We are already talking about returning here...and that's a thirty-plus-minute trip. And we won't come back empty handed. Possibly in a sugary haze, but not empty handed.

Stopped in here to carry out some lunch since I had to stop at the building across the street. I am…read moreglad I did! The food was very good and the girl up front was very friendly. I got two chorizo gorditas, though I thought I ordered one of them marinated pork but it didn't matter to me because they were very good. If one was pork it was very close to chorizo in color, texture, and taste..haha. I also got a chicken quesadilla. The gordita shells were crispy in the outside and held together very well while eating. I really liked them. There were two sauces in the box. The red sauce was ok. Not my favorite I ever had but had good taste and ate all of it on the gorditas. It was kinda spicy, but not too spicy for me. My wife would find it hot. The yellow colored sauce: I didn't know what it was. I thought it was butter because of the color, but was not. It had some sweet notes to it and some bites were kinda spicy...or that was leftover heat from the red? I don't know but I ate it on my chicken quesadilla. I worried there may be a language barrier (since I am not fluent in Spanish) or I would have to translate menu on phone, but the menu had both and the girl up front spoke English. I'd definitely come back and try other things here..or the same things since I know they were good.
