I drove past on my errand run yesterday and immediately circled back. I love pie. And a dedicated…read morepie shop? Yes please. Once you're out of your car, it's a little hard to find. I'd love to keep Pie Dreams my little secret, but out of respect for the proprietor's mad baking skills, it's behind Dino's. The owner is passionate about his pies and shared his philosophy about how pie can make us all nicer, gentler people. I mean, that's not exactly verbatim, but the pie case made it hard to pay attention. On my visit, there were two savory pies (hand pies) and a selection of sweet pies (hand pies and slices). Being a big supporter of small businesses, I ordered 4. All I can say is I'm super happy I don't live closer. The chicken bacon hand pie was delicious. Big pieces of chicken in a flavorful creamy sauce. There may have been some vegetables in it but I was driving and it was unsafe to inspect my pie closely. The caramel apple hand pie was good. Because I'm not an apple pie fan I appreciated that the apples were sliced thinly, not chunky, and I loved the addition of the sanding sugar on top. I ordered the apricot frangipane (AF) for two reasons: it was double-crusted and it didn't have whipped cream on top. I wasn't totally on board with frangipane since my experience with it in boxed chocolates was "meh." Plus they seem to love it on the Great British Bake-Off and it always looks so unappealing. But paired with the tartness of the apricots and a crust that reminded me of shortbread, I think the AF was my favorite, though I haven't tried the blueberry lemon yet. If you love pie, go to Pie Dreams and have a slice or three (no judgment here). If you're not sure or don't think you like pie, go to Pie Dreams. You may surprise yourself.

I feel like he's doesn't trust his employee. I see people are waiting on the counter and he's still in the kitchen walking so slow to come help the customer the person who works in the meat department. I know him for almost 18 years and he's a very good worker he always helps everyone all the customers. But the owner I've been noticed he doesn't look happy all the time. I'm sorry to say this, but it's true. For his age, he needs to stay home. Not in the kitchen all the time 24 seven. Every time I come there to buy something I have to call him so many times to come to the counter so I can pay for these items takes so long to him to come back to the counter and help us.. I feel like this place is gonna fall apart I can see you already.

I first seen them at the Newark Farmers Market and couldn't dare pass them up once I seen the "smothered" baked potato! What do I mean by smothered? Okay...let me explain... The baked potato is $6 and they top it with: Butter, Salt, Sour Cream, Jalapenos, Bacon, Cheese and Chives. Can I just admit that they are NOT stingy with their servings! Everything was SO good. Fresh and warm...The skin was nice and crispy! OMG, I'm drooling just thinking about it right now! When I first got my order I was in shock! I couldn't see the potato because they had smothered all the good toppings on it! What a steal deal for $6. If they had a store I would definitely be their #1 fan! I can't wait for the weekends to be able to make another trip and visit the food stand! I still want to try their Corn on the Cob! It looked DE-Lish!! This is a MUST when in the Newark Farmers Market! **P.S- I also hear that they are located at the San Leandro Farmers Marker** When you see their sign. Make sure you stop and try...then thank me later!

Madras Groceries - A One-Stop Shop for All Your Needs!…read more We've completely shifted our grocery shopping to Madras Groceries because it has everything you could possibly need. The store is always filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, along with a wide range of well-known Indian masala brands and exotic rice varieties. A few years ago, the shop wasn't as impressive, with many empty racks, but now it's fully stocked and provides excellent customer service. The only reason I visit other Indian grocery stores is to buy poultry and meat since Madras Groceries is a vegetarian shop. Otherwise, I have no reason to go elsewhere. Plus, it's very close to my home, making it super convenient!

We decided to try some dishes that weren't the usual traditional Filipino favorites, just to experience something different. When we arrived, there was no wait, and only 1-2 tables were occupied. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere. The wall paintings reminded us of Manila, and you can tell that thought was put into the décor and overall design. It gave the place a cozy, distinctly Filipino feel. Overall, it was a nice spot to check out after our hike, especially if you're looking to try Filipino food with a slightly different take.

A modern take on Filipino food was just what we were expecting and in a good way.

Months ago a friend mentioned he gets his Sunday dinners when he also shops for fruits and…read morevegetables at the Milpitas Farmers Market located next to the McDonaldd outside the Great Mall in Milpitas. I finally made it there and found the market to be quite small however it was perfect for me. I bought my fruits and veggies and when I turned to go to the next lane/aisle. I saw this Filipino booth with about half a dozen customers in line. I joined the line and watching what customers were ordering. It seemed like it was more stews and bbq sticks. I ended up with empanada bc they were small enough to enjoy while I finish my shopping. I am picky with my empanada, because I have had some that are mostly all bread or dough. However, I was pleasantly surprised they had flavor, and the outer dough was a little bit crispy and lightly doughy, but not over exaggerated so for me, I was pleasantly happy with the dough to meat ratio. The meat which I later found out was ground chicken was seasoned really well and it was moist. But keep in mind, they look small, but taste big :) So the next time I return, I will be sure to buy even more of the empanadas. If they sold them Unfried and frozen I would certainly like to buy a bag for my freezer for those moments that you just need a quick bite..
