I've supported Cravings for a long time, but after my recent experiences, I feel incredibly…read moredisappointed and disrespected as a customer. I tried one of the new $14 salads--no protein, just lettuce, a few veggies, and a so-called "homemade" Italian dressing. I genuinely enjoyed the dressing and asked for the recipe three times out of curiosity. On the third time, I was told she wouldn't share it--but would be willing to sell it to me. That response rubbed me the wrong way. In today's economy, that kind of cold and transactional reply from a small business I've supported feels off-putting and greedy. On top of that, I tried a "tiramisu cookie" that had no coffee flavor, no mascarpone, nothing that even remotely resembled tiramisu. It tasted like a plain sugar cookie, and honestly, it felt like false advertising. If you're going to market something as tiramisu, it should at least reflect the flavors of what you're promising. Between that and the secretive dressing situation, I can't help but question whether the dressing is even homemade--or if it's just bottled and marked up. These experiences have made me lose trust in the brand and what it claims to represent. I won't be returning.

The staff was accommodating and really went out of their way to find us comfortable seating. The food was so good, my husband who is not a chicken lover was so happy with his chicken sandwich (I wish I had gotten the actual name of the sandwich) he said he would order it again. My FIL loved his Shrimp Arugula salad. He couldn't stop eating it. My quiche was excellent so delicious , a blend of the ham, cheese and eggs with a flaky crust, and the soup was also delicious and creamy. I wish I had tried one of their lattes they looked so good.

After a hard-core day of riding dirt, mud, trails and backroads our group of hard-core bikers…read morescurried into this establishment for a few scoops of frozen heaven. The first thing that caught our dirt Filled eyes was the unique candy selection on the wall. Stuff I have not seen since I was a child.: (Not that I am old). Next my eyes focused on the digital menu board that displayed the plethora of scrumptious choices of their homemade ice cream. Halfway through the menu a little bit of drool was dripping on the floor from my Saliva glands making my mouth water profusely. So many delicious choices, I had to find out what was the biggest and baddest of their selections. It turns out to be the banana split served in a tub. This 55 gallon drum look alike was filled with bananas, three different kinds of ice cream, chocolate syrup,other toppings, whip cream and cherry! Oh my goodness..... I think my head is going to explode.... ....good thing I am wearing a motorcycle helmet. That mess would not be pretty in such a beautiful store. After Ripping my wallet from my pants, I cheerfully paid then rushed to Carry the payload of ice cream out to the picnic tables across the street by the stream. After enjoying the beautiful view of the stream and the babbling brook, I Wielded a plastic spoon like a samurai wields his sword, slicing into the frozen cream with expert precision. The whip cream, chocolate and flavored ice cream I had ordered all culminated in an explosion of flavors in my mouth. I think I let out a little scream of ecstasy as it slid down my throat. There is nothing like homemade ice cream to get you excited for the next bite. I probably gained 2 pounds from eating this enormous treat that was Prepared with love. But it's worth every pound I might gain. Shortly thereafter it was time to get back on the motorcycle and ride a few more mountain tops. The sun was warm and starting to get an orange tint as it was contemplating setting in a couple hours. The warm wind was blowing the leaves ever so slightly, the Mountain tops were screaming my name like a lost child screams for their parents at the mall. What a great day, what a great ice cream store, what a place to Stop!

Imagine if your grandparents opened up a bakery on a farm. That's pretty much the vibe at Lake View…read moreOrchards. Grandma bakes the pastries and is the friendly face at the register. Grandpa works the donut making robot, cranking out hot apple cider donuts while watching the world go by from the window. The building may be a little bit run down, but the place is totally charming. There are a few tables toward the back of the shop to sit down and enjoy your hot donuts. However, most people take them to go. That seems like a bad idea, especially since the donuts are both warm and covered with cinnamon sugar. To eat them in the car is a recipe for disaster. Sugar would get everywhere and you would soon be a sticky mess. Saving them for later would be a tragedy, since apple cider donuts are so much better when they are warm. It's a rare treat to get warm cider donuts. As Otis said, these are decidedly more aggressive on the spicing. I tasted not just cinnamon, but also nutmeg. Are they worth an hour drive? Probably not. But if you are within a half hour of this orchard, I'd say it's worth the trip.

Great flavor and great texture; and, I appreciate that they use organic ingredients. I actually wouldn't eat there if they didn't. The bagels are honestly amazing. They are the only bagels I will eat because they are organic sourdough (it's the only non-gf I'll eat). They are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, just how a bagel should be! Whenever I've ordered a bagel and cream cheese (which is more than a dozen times), they've always been very generous with the cream cheese, which I appreciate! They've also got more than just bread. They sell some local gifts and things: flowers, crocheted items, little crafts, chocolates, etc. Their cookies are soooooooo delicious. We always get at least one to enjoy after we eat our bagels. :-) There is a small sandwich menu (no hot items though - like no hot egg sandwiches, just egg salad). They also serve hot coffee! One tip: Go early. They often sell out of bagels and treats, especially on the weekends! It's just a really solid spot with really good food! Definitely worth checking out! We drive 25 minutes just to enjoy their bagels, bread, and treats!!
