We popped in and picked up some Bavarian Cream filled, an apple fritter, a strawberry filled, a peanut butter cup cookie and a Twix Cupcake. All delicious! I've heard through the grapevine that Ashley, the owner/baker, makes a Twin Bing cupcake that is terrific. Got to love a nod to a local legend.

Great food and service with a very unique environment! It's a great small town place to visit!read more

The small-batch Lantern Coffee was very nice. It was dark and rich and with a smooth aftertaste. Maybe next time I'll drive over to Sibley (home of the Generals) and try out their restaurant and coffee bar as well. And judging by the Facebook pictures, it looks live a very handsome and inviting place. They did a good job refurbishing this older building and it looks like a place that I would hang out frequently if I lived here.

I love that they have Dutch imports, including the chocolate letters and other treats around Christmas. They have black licorice year-round. They are known for almond patties, which are flaky, buttery pockets filled with almond paste. You can buy these frozen to bake at home or fresh. They also have delicious cinnamon rolls and very pretty frosted cookies and cakes. I have fond memories of this bakery and am glad to see it's thriving and now even ships its baked goods!

*** PS. They didn't pay me to write this review. ***…read more I bought Taiwanese Sausage from them more than 15 years and keep on coming back when I need. I can buy any sausage from my Asian supermarket but I like Formosa brand than all the others. The reason I buy from them is the sausage always FRESH make at Iowa facility, not like others were imported from Asia (far away/longer travel time to get to my local market) which was also very salty/dry and with preservative. Formosa's sausage is always moist/lightly salted, so I don't have to worry about sodium too much. BBQ Sausage - 台南式香腸 - is the one I always ordered which has a little bit sweet touch of it, very good and easy to put on the stick and grill with a garlic piece as an appetizer/snack when you have party. I also use BBQ Sausage to make stir fried brown rice (香腸糙米炒飯) and turnip cake (蘿蔔糕) when I have party or potluck get together and people like it. They also have some traditional Taiwanese snacks like flavored Beef Jerky (加味牛肉乾), Cuttlefish slice or stripe (烤魷魚片/魷魚絲) and side dish choice for rice/congee (肉酥鬆肉脯). Details please refer to official website at www.formosafood.com, hope you find my review useful and enjoy your purchase/food from local business.
