It's been a month since I've visited here and I find myself still talking about these. Most donuts…read morehere are slightly larger than my fist (my glove size is M) and only cost $1.95. The ones I tried were the yeast type of donut and had a terrific consistency being soft and not too dense. Also tried an apple fritter that was almost twice as large as the donuts. The highlight were the croissant donuts. They were layers of buttery, flaky dough in a square format. I've tried the ones from Dominic Ansel when the cronut was at its peak and I prefer the Freddy version. I found the ones with the drizzle on them to be better. If you can't commit to a whole cronut you can get cronut bites for 25 cents each!

Move over Dominique Ansel, Freddy Donuts got you beat at the cronut game. Being from New York the…read morecronut is a staple- Freddy's got them beat in every way- the cronut itself is super light and crisp. The flakey buttery layers is heaven. The size of the cronut is huge compared to the Dominique Ansel one. Freddy's is the size of your hand where the other is a quarter size smaller. The cronut at Freddy's is also cheaper going at $4.25 versus $7.75 at Dominique Ansel. They come in glaze drizzle, chocolate and vanilla drizzle, maple drizzle and French toast. Cronuts not available or don't feel like a big cronut...ask if they have the cronut bites. They come in a set of three and you can get either glaze drizzle or cinnamon sugar. The size of their classic and specialty donuts are huge. We are talking easily can be sharable (if you want to). Currently the pricing of their donuts are: $1.95 house/ $2.75 specialty/$2.75 cake/ $3.25 monster filled. They have quite the creative list of flavors. No gluten free options though. Their donuts are light and flavorful. It's not overly sweet at all and well balanced. By their size you get your bang for your buck. If you want to get your choosing of flavors, it's better to go at the start of the day. Later in the day you chance that they could be sold out on flavors - especially if they are busy that day. The donuts are packed in whimsical boxes that are colorful and say "You Deserve A Donut." They also have drinks for purchase but we didn't grab any- maybe next time. On the wall they also have cute donut themed shirts with popular cartoons and characters like Bluey, Pikachu and Deadpool. There is limited parking around the shop. Otherwise plenty of street parking. We took our donuts to go but you can also dine there in front of the store where they have picnic tables. The building looks like it might have been a service gas station in the past. It's decorated with a snake mural and they also have neat drawings inside on their chalkboard menu. We will definitely be back since we have friends that live in the next town over who are also huge fan. 100% recommend this sweet place.

There are many SWEET REASONS why this shop is the best cupcakery and more in Fredericksburg. The…read moreshop is super cute and clean and the folks working are always a joy. The selection is usually plentiful with a good variety of cupcakes, cheesecake, brownies and other baked goods. They focus on an overall great cupcake. Some shops focus on looks or just the icing and not the cake. But I can say they win in all categories. Cupcakes are visually appealing, always moist and delicious with just the right amount of decadent frosting. If you are looking for cupcakes here's your shop! You will become a regular after coming here, it's that good!

Stopped by to give this place a try for the 1st time. We got the cheesecakes sampler (4 slices for…read more$26) and 2-cupcakes. Despite some previous reviews about the dryness of the cupcakes and the bland cheesecake, we wanted to give it a go. Welp, those reviews were precise! My daughter could not finish her cupcake (that is the 1st time ever for her!!) she said it was very dry and crumbly, almost a dry biscuit like texture. And even with the 4 different types of cheesecake, it really lacked flavor. Someone reviewed it as eating straight butter, I would say it was more like eating just a block of cream cheese. I mean oreo, strawberry, should have some of those flavors in the actual cheesecake part right? At this point even some vanilla extract would've did some justice, but nope nada. While we were deciding which 4 slices we wanted, we asked if they would have pumpkin cheesecake coming in the near future (hints the Fall season). The lady helping us didn't answer the question but instead stated "well the gingerbread cheesecake would taste like it". Who has ever thought gingerbread and pumpkin would be the same??? Needless to say, we won't be back and (mental note) we should probably trust reviews with specific details more.

I was travelling to Fredericksburg to visit a friend and they told me to check this place out. It's…read morea nice gem in the heart of downtown. I didn't even know Bubble Tea was a thing in this area so this was a major revelation to me. The minute you walk in, there are yellow walls plastered with cute pictures of dessert and neon lit signs of cute messages. You are surprised why this even exists. I'm sure you could do a photoshoot here because everything is really cute and I don't blame you. The bubble tea is also pretty good and I think for the portion you pay for it's pretty good compared to most places. You can order via kiosk or through a cashier, for the introverted or non introverted. I got the Matcha Milk Tea with Honey Boba. Truly a simple combo that can't be beat. I got 50% sugar and I think it's not too overpowerly sweet but just enough to keep you awake.

We ordered my longtime favorite--the chocolate malt--along with a vanilla and a strawberry soft-serve in waffle cones. There is simply nothing like these cold, sweet treats on a hot summer day. After visiting and trying ice cream shops all along the East Coast during our vacation, Carl's still stands out as a true gem. The quality, tradition, and experience are every bit as special as I remembered. Thank you for continuing to create memories for generations of families. I hope my daughters will one day bring their own children here, just as I was able to bring them. Keep up the wonderful
