I'm always looking for corn salsa at farmers markets, but I usually find black bean and corn salsa instead. I was excited to find actual corn salsa here, and it's delicious! I also picked up a lemon icebox pie, which was delicious, and pickled peaches. I love spiced peaches and pickled vegetables, but I had never heard of pickled peaches before, so of course I had to buy them! The store is clean and well-organized, including the restroom, which is always a nice bonus when you're stopping in while traveling. The cashier was super friendly and overheard us talking about their sign for the annual open house, which takes place the Friday and Saturday after Labor Day. She told us they'll have lots of sale items and free samples and recommended going on Friday when it's less crowded. I love a good local tip! If you enjoy unique jarred goodies, sweets, and Southern treats, this is definitely a place worth checking out!

Stumbled on this place while driving out in the country and had to stop and give it a try…read more It's some kind of hybrid of an Amish grocery store/lunch counter. Shelves were lined with things your grandma would go nuts over. Jams and jellies, bags of grits, all sorts of things for the cook who knows how to cook with real ingredients. Also a solid selection of prepared/ready to eat items including some pies that looked pretty amazing. Additionally there's a sandwich counter where you can build your own or order one from their menu. All the sandwiches are made to order on their house-made bread and the prices are super low. If I lived near this place that sandwich counter would quickly become a go-to lunch spot. The people were friendly and the place is clean. The prices are right and the selection of items is unique and of high quality. Don't skip this place if you're in the area. 5 stars.

If you've never had Shave Ice or you really love homemade ice cream you're in for a treat you won't…read morefind in any other ice cream shop around here! "Shave ice" is a bowl of ice cream topped with delectably shaven ice - not chunky like sno cones. The icey part is topped with your choice of flavor drizzled on it. A Snow Cap (condensed milk) is included as well. Most people have their Shave Ice with all of the above. It's a refreshing way to enjoy a lot of tasty ice cream with some very special extras. The owner has professional ice shaving machines used in Hawaii (we've been to Hawaii enough times to be hooked on the stuff ). If you're not interested in trying something new but you DO appreciate homemade ice cream, every ice cream at Oliwia's is homemade. It's only about 2 miles west of I-65 in downtown Hartselle. Use Yelp to find it!

It's super bright and clean with ample tables and a couple of bars with stools along the windows. It was fairly busy but the line moved quickly. We each got a medium Shave Ice with a scoop of ice cream (lots of flavors to choose from), shaved ice, flavored syrup (lots of flavors of this as well!), and the "snow cap" (coconut flavored condensed milk topping). It was a little messy but yummy! The medium size was almost more than we could eat! It was a fun experience and an affordable way to be treated to a more unique dessert experience. The next time we're heading home from Birmingham I'll be exiting off I65 for Oliwia's Shave Ice! We're so glad we took a chance!

This place was my choice to grab a coffee from on my wait out of Cullman after a short visit. It…read morewas solid! The interior is decorated really nicely, kind of cool and funky vibes with a surprising amount of space available to hang out. Cute merchandise for sale too. I had a little bit of trouble finding the menu but eventually found it on a paper card placed somewhat inconspicuously near the register. I was only interested in coffee but they have a decent selection of cafe-type food and other beverages. They have seasonal specials and more standard, always-available house specials. I selected one of these and got a small iced Turtle latte, which had chocolate, caramel, and praline flavors. I thought service was a little standoffish and put-upon seeming, but I wouldn't say they were rude; just not super welcoming. My drink was made and served quickly and I got back on the road. The drink was good! Nice balance of ice to liquid and a yummy, sweet, rich turtle flavor. There was a slight artificially nutty aftertaste that I'd guess was the praline that I didn't love, but overall this was a solid drink that I'd probably order again. Give them a try if you're in the area.

We decided to give Karma's Coffee another shot, but unfortunately, it was pretty much the same as…read morebefore. The staff still seemed irritable and not friendly, which again made us feel more like an inconvenience than customers. We had to ask multiple times about our drinks and food, which was frustrating. Again, the HIGH prices... On the bright side, there's a nice bookish vibe that gives it that cozy feel. With the exposed bricks/ductwork, mismatched secondhand furniture, and a small selection of books, it does seem like a good spot to relax and chat with friends... Still, I'll be looking for a different coffee place next time! Somewhere the employees attitudes match the chill atmosphere.

My husband and I went here for the first time when we were out of town. Before I share with you his…read morereview of the dessert he ordered, I want to say that we both felt like their customer service was top-notch and would give them a five 5. I have to be careful with making sure I don't eat items that have a high concentration of fructose corn syrup in it and the owner, I believe, maybe the manager, took quite a bit of time with me to try and figure out if certain ones had a high concentration of it in there. She had EXCELLENT customer service and I was very impressed by it. I decided I shouldn't really take a chance and eat anything, but I encouraged my husband to get something while he was there since we were on vacation. He ordered the Caramel Apple Crisp and would give it a four 4. He said the ice cream caramel ratio was very good and he enjoyed the flavor profiles of how they mixed. He got the big one and said it was definitely shareable and would give it a five 5 on size. If presented the opportunity again and he decided to treat himself, he said he would order it.

We have gone and ate a Pizza Ed in Hartselle and really enjoyed it. Tonight we went to eat and the server was great. When we got our pizza the center of the pizza was so cold. It was as it just came out of the refrigerator. Sent it back to be cooked more. Came out the second time and was only luke warm at best. Waitress told us they where having trouble with their ovens. If it was me I would have been probing the center was a food thermometer to make sure my customers got their food hot like it should have been. Than gave me the ticket to pay at full price for two pizzas that where not ever hot. #PizzaEd has lost our business.
