Oh my my!!! What a hidden gem I didn't know I was missing. Just wow!…read moreA friend tipped us off- he indicated that they were originally in the downtown area until an ice cream place opened near it and moved here to a very different space. I will talk about the gelato in a minute but I want to share how incredible the landscaping and attention to the space around the place. There were beautiful pots of flowers, play space, climbing vines, and welcoming outside seating. The stand itself is very small- a couple people can fit inside the door to order and receive their treat. There were 15-20 flavors to choose from AND, follow me here, that could be served in a cup, cone, or in a martini glass accompanied by alcohol found in the beverage. I ordered a scoop in a cup but the drink menu was extensive and tempting. Plenty of parking and a place to sit. Don't be stressed that it is off the beaten path- worth the travel to this wonderful spot.

We were in the mood for a sweet treat and put dessert into Google and I am so glad this place…read morepopped up. It did not disappoint! Follow your maps because you will think you missed it but it is behind a decorator store and you could easily miss it. Walking around back to the entrance was a complete surprise! They own quite a bit of land and there are Adirondack chairs with fire pits to enjoy. There was also corn hole and a volleyball net. The plants and flowers are gorgeous! It's like you are in the streets of Italy! We were quickly greeted and told we could sample all the flavors. There were plenty to choose from. I decided on the Affogato with Kahlua. It was served in an insulated cardboard cup that was quite cute. This is a sipping drink and people usually drink it slow. It was delicious. There wasn't enough Kahlua in my drink, I could barely taste it but still enjoyed it! My friend got raspberry gelato with prosecco and thought it was delicious-and soooo pretty! This is gelato from Italy and tastes a bit like ice cream but I loved it!!

Ah Alpine Bakery! Just far enough away so that I wouldn't be able to eat here every day, because I…read morewould. It's almost just as good to window shop the displays are so enticing. Some of my favorites are the Swiss rolls, both chocolate and strawberry. The sticky buns, every cookie in the case, the eclairs and the cream puffs. This is luckily a bakery where you just can't go wrong. We always get excellent service, particularly today when we came in after dinner. I have never tried the pizza but I hear it's awesome! Literally order anything in the case and you will be happy. This is a full service bakery so I imagine they can make just about anything cake related, and it will be stunning. There are plenty of seats if you want to eat inside and there is coffee and drinks. It's super clean in there as well! Can't go wrong with Alpine Bakery!

Roberto's is a hidden secret in the downtown Woodstock area. Located slightly off the beaten path,…read moreRoberto's boasts a beautifully clean atmosphere that evokes a sense of being somewhere far more coastal. The raw bar is front and center, and there are several great options for oysters. There is a social hour option for chef's choice oysters, I believe it was a dozen for $24. I would've loved to indulge, but my friends were not so inclined towards raw oysters. We enjoyed the peel-and-eat shrimp and the blue crab fritters as appetizers. Both had phenomenal flavor, but the portions left a bit to be desired. For my main course, I tried the low country boil as I always love to see an elevated take on a messy classic. The spices were a bit underwhelming for my liking, but everything was cooked very well. I tried some of my friend's redfish, and it was clearly the star of the show. There was a wonderful textural balance between the soft pillowiness of the fish and the crispy exterior. The downside for me was the service. We had a difficult time tracking down our server, and when we alerted another member of the staff that we needed something, there was no attempt to resolve the issue expeditiously. We had to wait another 10 minutes before flagging down our original server. We were dining close to the lunch/dinner shift, so I'm willing to give them the grace that it was a fluke and not a habit. I would love to give Roberto's another try someday, the menu has a great variety, and the ambiance is hard to compete with.

The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. When she brought all three of the deserts out, it looked amazing.

We began eating the gelato while drinking the espresso mixture and it was absolutely divine! This was the first time we ever had this type of desert and it was absolutely amazing and hit the spot perfectly. We will definitely be back for this desert again!

I got the Korean-style coffee and a Dubai chocolate croissant, and both were delicious. The croissant was HUGE and I couldn't even finish it, so the value is definitely there. I'm already excited to go back and try the strawberries and cream croissant and the Biscoff latte. The guy at the register was so nice! They also offer curbside pickup, which is super convenient, although I chose to go inside because I wanted to check the place out. It's spacious, nicely decorated, and has a great atmosphere. I could definitely see myself meeting up with friends here. I live in Chicago but visit the area often to see family, so this will absolutely be a staple whenever I'm in town!

The pistachio croissant was super flaky and filled with pistachio, which made it the perfect pairing with the drink. Really nice spot to relax, grab a drink, and enjoy a pastry.

Self order kiosks, three rounded booths and wall benches to sit in give this place a modern look. Lone worker was open, kind and patient. (Forgot to list my bubbles/pearls. He asked and carried on.)
