(Wow, I have never seen an overall rating for a business be so wrong! 2 stars is absurd.)…read more The Chocolate Spike is one of my favorite places anywhere to get handmade chocolate and it's right HERE in Blacksburg! I imagine if you came here looking for a cafe you would be disappointed, but this is a chocolate shop. It's true that the shop lost some of it's charm when it moved from downtown, but I am sure they do better business where they are now and I can't really begrudge them the move. Things I love from the Chocolate Spike: - Chocolate covered candied fruits (especially orange peel) - Truffles - Plain dark chocolate or bittersweet bits that you purchase by weight. The selection of chocolate and chocolate cover goodness is extensive, but the basics do not suffer because of it. The prices are good for homemade chocolate. The chocolate is excellent quality. Buy some for yourself, your sweetheart, your mom, your officemates... they will love you for it!

On a hot and sunny summer day, I happened to be driving down Brambleton Ave in Southwest Roanoke,…read moreand noticed a business called Deb's Frozen Lemonade. It brought back happy memories of my youth. While growing up in Miami I came up with the idea of setting up a Lemonade Stand in front of our home with a sign "Nice Cold Lemonade For Sale," and selling paper cups of lemonade to passerbys. Needless to say, after taken my pearl white Lexus to Brambleton Imports, I headed back to the Frozen Lemonade store. By this time it was opened and I walked in. There I was greeted by a lovely and friendly couple who owned and had been operating this establishment together with their Lemonade trucks since 1977. They told me the story of how it all began with selling Frozen Lemonade from a Lemonade Truck and then expanding to a physical store as well as continuing selling through mobile routes with its trucks and advertising where they will be from their Facebook website. I found out that the shop is strictly cash-only, and an ATM machine is available on the premises. The storefront typically operates heavily from April through October. In the summer, their fleet of neighborhood trucks (traditional named Vega, Bella, and Beula) run daily refreshment routes throughout the Roanoke Valley. They also offer catering options for events. Their Signature Frozen Lemonade is made from a decades-old family recipe. And comfort food such as hot dogs, popcorn, soft pretzels, and in-house made cookies are available to pair with the drinks. They also have a popular combo including a hot dog, lemonade, and chips. The owners are so friendly and hospitable that while I was there they had many repeat customers come in to order hot dogs and lemonades to-go. I in turn took advantage of their Special Combo and ordered a Large Combo. Their hot dog was amazing served in a fresh soft sliced hot dog bun with all the toppings you would like. You got to pick your chips, and the lemonade had such a refreshing and wonderful flavor that it was like drinking a tiny slushy lemonade with the perfect sweetness and natural lemon flavor. I enjoyed the hot dog so much that I ordered another and officially made it my place to go to enjoy a hot dog and a frozen lemonade. And I highly recommend it. The place had such a positive ambiance that a sign they had behind one of the windows best describes it: "When Life Gives You Lemons... Make Something Sweet."

Los Tres Hermanos is one of those very unique places that if you look for it you would never find…read more And if you found it you wouldn't believe what you found. It's an authentic Mexican panaderia. A Bakery, like none you've ever seen before. At least I hadn't, because even though I'm of Hispanic Heritage, I was born in Cuba and was raised in Puerto Rico. My background is more from the Caribbean, with different customs, food, and music, but a common Motherland, Spain. As I was driving through a road I had never explored before, I ran into this Mexican family-owned business. The sign read: "Los Tres Hermanos. Panes, Postres y Pasteles." Which translates to: The Three Brothers. Breads, Desserts, and Cakes. Quickly, I pulled over, parked my car, and went inside. And what I found was trays and trays of different kinds of breads and desserts. Cakes in a refrigerator, and piñatas hanging from the ceiling, among other things. The trays were held together by tray stands. People would come in, grab an empty tray and tongs, and go around placing the items the items the wanted to purchase on their trays. I invite you to look at my photographs and video clip accompanying my review to get a better sense of the place. A friendly young lady greeted me with a big smile and answered all my questions about the place. The owner also came out to greet me and let me know that they also sell chicken and pork tamales, barbacoa, and carnitas, on some days of the week. The lady handed me a tray and some tongs and while I was picking my items another employee brought out trays of Tres Leches to put in one of the refrigerators, next to the one with the cakes. What a great discovery on this Hispanic Heritage Month and National Dessert Month. I highly recommend that you visit this Mexican Bakery. It will be an experience of a lifetime, and you will also take home some authentic Mexican sweet desserts.

My husband had a chocolate chip cookie sandwich with cookie dough filling that he said was delicious. The ladies behind the counter were super kind and helpful. Their shop is so beautiful and unique.

Their hours are not very late, and I imagine there aren't a ton of passersby after dark but it's a little puzzling to me that they're not open at least until the evening in summer. The ice cream flavor selection is considerable. Given the setting, this is not a place you'd go for non-dairy frozen desserts, it is definitely ice cream. Their peanut butter cup flavor hit the spot for me. A seasonal raspberry truffle didn't quite; the raspberry flavor was strong, but there were some ice crystals and overall textural unevenness and the chocolate truffles were not present in sufficient numbers for my liking. There is also a store which houses a small amount of produce and other fresh and preserved items, as well as a deli counter with some prepared food. I didn't find a ton of interest outside of the ice cream I came for.
