They offer local drinks, preserves, jams, desserts of all sorts, and homemade sauces. Honestly, it was really hard to choose something to try. The owners spent a few minutes with us goin over their menu and everything looked SO good. We settled on the Strawberry Shortcake and the owner's own concoction the Nutty Professor. The short cake was ALL homemade (the sauce, whipped cream, and sponge cake). The cake was very light and refreshing and not too sweet. This was HANDS down the best Strawberry shortcake I've ever had. We ate the entire thing in the car. The nutty professor is very unique and SO good. It's very rich but is a cross between a peanut cup and a snickers combined. It's very good but only take a couple of bites at a time We will definitely be back if we are ever in the area. A must try if you're local or visiting!

My husband and I have been G&G loyalists since they opened, but after the business moved onto Main…read moreStreet, we've been repeatedly frustrated by poor communication with customers regarding bakery hours. A paper sign on the door is great when there's an early or extended closure, but that paper sign should be complemented by posts on the website and/or social media. In the past few months, we've probably come by on (at least) 10 occasions during business hours only to find that the business was closed...That's a 40-minute round trip from where we live in neighboring Stephens City, only to come home disappointed. I've never called and had a staff member answer the phone, so if we can't even call ahead... G&G needs a system that communicates closures to demonstrate more respect for patrons' time. We've hired G&G to cater our professional events and even our wedding brunch. It isn't too much to ask for a heads up when they know they won't be open during regular hours, right? Ps. Please bring back the banana peppers in the G&G empanada!

I'm an amateur baker so was thrilled that the owners/bakers were happy to chat with me about their process, grains, and sources. We were there later in the day so a lot of the inventory was gone but still managed to grab a rustic loaf and and the last brotchen. Everything was a bit pricier than you might find elsewhere but it comes down to if you want to support small bakers doing things the traditional way and/or want the effects of long-fermented breads. The rustic loaf was decent, if a little gummy. The brotchen, though, was fantastic and I would gladly buy a bag of those to eat with some cheese and good butter for a lighter meal. I'm not often in the area but would love to stop in again and see what's on the ever-changing, seasonal menu.

Glazed, cake, stuffed, seasonal; I want them all! And I will likely order them all. So by proxy I have a mental list of such establishments that I keep a eye out for (most recently, Voodoo Doughnuts) and Duck Doughnuts is one of them. Little did I know, until just a week ago, that there is a location in Winchester. The morning of my visit could not have been more perfect for a first timer. Rain was drizzling, but not heavy. The sky was overcast. The temps were low, but not frigid. And that Shenandoah Valley wind was just the right amount of chilling. I went in with high expectations. Here's what happened. I began to peruse the menu and soon realized that I would be making many a visit before obtaining a full understanding of all they have to offer. So I settled on the blueberry pancake and the holiday sprinkle (seasonal) with a cup of coffee (only $5.99). What I then learned is that each doughnut is 1) a cake doughnut (just for those who favor/don't favor this type of doughnut), 2) is made to order (as in the toppings and/or stuffing), and 3) they all come out warm! The coffee is a medium roast, but on the darker side. Just a FYI. I sat down at the window bench and looked out on the dismay day that was about to get exponentially better. The doughnuts, for the short period of time they lasted, were a work of art (be sure to check out my photos). They paired well with the coffee and left me wishing I had made the bigger commitment of ordering half a dozen. But there will be more visits in the future. Until then, I recommend you stop in to pick up a few (or more) and know that you can also order ahead of time (via online).

We've placed our order at register, through the app, and on their digital screen where you can bypass the line (and get reward points for the app)! The app is definitely the easiest. My go to donut is peanut butter glaze, bacon and marshmallow drizzle. My wife and I just discovered the donut breakfast sandwich. GAME CHANGER!!! The staff and owners have been very welcoming and personal. The inside is very clean, and we thoroughly enjoy the openness where the boys enjoy watching the workers make the donuts. We look forward to continuing to support Duck Donuts and their delicious donuts!

I paid $250 for a two-tier cake UNDECORATED. I added all of the items on the cake myself. You can clearly see they missed the ombre color scheme. This year, I ordered a 3 layer cake with a colored photo provided by my granddaughter. I requested pink, purple, pink inside with strawberry filling. They missed the color of the cake inside and outside completely. Pink vs neon pink. The cake tasted awful. The icing was slopped on the cake without care. It melted 45 minutes into transport. There was not enough support inside the cake as the top layer slid off during transport. They made an entirely different cake! A $10 refund was offered. It's such a joke. I wasn't able to pick up cake due to my father passing away. So my son picked up the cake. He couldn't refuse the cake bc it was going directly to the party. He had no time to change or complain. My granddaughter was so upset she didn't get the cake SHE picked out. Look at the photos, and YOU choose if YOU want to do business with them. The first picture was the cake my granddaughter chose. The rest of the photos are the cake we received. The girl answering the phone said the owner sits home and does paperwork. She does not come in the bakery to do any baking or decorating. That in itself allows you to make your decision if you want to do business with them. If you are looking for quality and specifics, try another bakery. Joyce, the former owner, is no longer here who took pride in everything that went out the door.  I am disputing the $72 charge with my bank.

Apparently you aren't supposed to get frozen yogurt here unless you buy a car wash too! I've never…read moreheard of a business making such a big deal over an empty parking space. During past visits, I've always paid to wash my truck and then parked at the vacuums (I think they're vacuums) to go inside and get frozen yogurt. Never had an issue. There really is no where else to park and keep in mind Frenchies is owned by the car wash, they aren't separate. It was raining today and I didn't need to wash my truck, we just wanted to stop by and get frozen yogurt. As soon as I pulled into a spot, a guy came out and told me that space is for paying wash customers only. I told him we were going in to get frozen yogurt, I wasn't using the vacuum, but he insisted I'd have to park somewhere else. I asked where and he pointed over to the other building where they do detailing. So instead of using one of the 10+ empty spaces to park for a whopping 5 minutes, my mom and I are told to walk in the rain from the other building. Had they been busy, I would've understood, but there was literally one other customer there and probably 10+ empty spaces at the vacuums. It would've hurt them none to let me park there for 5 minutes and be a paying customer, but instead we left and went to Sweet Frog. The frozen yogurt has always been good here with a decent amount of toppings and clean facility. The guy also wasn't being rude, I'm sure he was doing his job, but this whole encounter was unnecessary and showed that my business wasn't wanted so I won't bother coming back.

Interesting concept here. It's a combination FroYo and car wash. Since I'm driving a rental that…read moredid not need a cleaning, I stuck with the yogurt. A dozen or so flavors including the usual vanilla and chocolate, but also "tart original" and cheesecake and blueberry and more, it's the standard setup where you grab a bowl and fill it up, add toppings and then pay for it by weight at the end. I added my dry toppings and there were also a few fruits and boba balls if that's your calling, then added some caramel and put it on the scale. The bar of toppings was well stocked and filled. Easy, tasty, not exactly cheap. But it was good and I'd go here again for another round.
