My personal favorite(which I probably shouldn't disclose because it means that other people will go get my favorite and there might not be enough for me lol ) The ice cream has an incredibly creamy buttery mouth feel, and is always smooth and perfect texture on the tongue. The flavors are always heightened and never disappointing. Due to their tiny building and single window, one must often wait for your delicious treat. It would be wonderful if they were in a larger building with more employees so we can get our favorite ice creams more quickly! I highly recommend this place!

Have you ever seen something online and thought... I gotta have that! That happened to me last…read moreweek. While relaxing and checking out The Gram, I came across an amazing looking cupcake. I'm an Oreo / Cookies and Cream addict. I've never met an Oreo I didn't like... Thin...Regular...Stuffed...Double Stuffed -- You name it, I've eaten it. Now...Imagine my suprise when I found out I could get them at the Farmer's Market 5 minutes from my house!! What?!?!? Of course, you know where I was on Saturday... At the Farmer's Market, checking out Totally Baked. Now let's talk cupcakes. We got half a dozen (yes, I shared). I'll review them as they are listed. Side note: The pictures DO NOT do them justice. If you want to see great pictures, check out her IG page @totallybakedcville -- 1) Cookies and Cream: Ya'll this cupcake had a legit Oreo baked into the cake! Chocolate cake with a light creamy icing. The icing had cookie cumbles and a minature Oreo on top. First bite was great! The mix of cream and cake was amazing. I got a hint of the Oreo in the middle, which made the second bite even better. The cake did a good job of holding up around the cookie. I was worried the cookie might become loose. Great start to the tasting. 2) Chocolate Cherry: I do enjoyed filled cupcakes. This chocolate cake had cherry on the inside of the cake. It was topped with a very light cherry flavored icing. The cherry inside helped keep the cake moist. Solid. 3) Lemon Blueberry: Ok, so this was my least favorite. It was good, don't get me wrong, just not my cup of tea. This was the "suck up" cupcake. I got it to "suck up" to my mother in law. She loves Lemon Blueberry. Again this white cake had blueberry in the middle, topped with a light icing and blueberries on top. Very good, but just not for me. 4) Pistachio: Ummmm.... I'll be honest, I rolled my eyes at first when my better half chose this one. BUT... It was my next favorite after Cookies and Cream. The cake was amazingly flavored. It has just enough of the pistachio flavor to keep me intriged, but sweet enough to keep me around. Paired with the pistachio icing and crumbles, this one is a hit! 5) Sweet and Salty: Solid white cupcake with what tasted like a maple glaze over the cupcake. Pretzel pieces were then placed on top of the icing and glaze. I love the texture the pretzel pieces give the cake. Exactly as it is described... Both salty and sweet! 6) Another Cookies and Cream... What?? You think I wouldn't get two?!? I wasn't sharing that one. Overall, I'm proud that my IG digging found them. I love they are close. They do caterings for any type of event. They even offer free delivery?!?! I mean, if they can't make it any easier. They are officially... on my list!

The sandwich slaps you with flavor: saltiness from the ham, pepper from a BUNCH of arugula, lil' sweetness from the apple butter - proper sandwich. The quality of the Brioche (in flavor) and flavor of pastry cream, amazing, again lamination crazy well done. The banana sourdough was jaw droppingly executed. The banana flavor present & strong, quintessential soft & "wet" center that you get from classic banana bread somehow balanced with a beautifully caramelized crust all with that sourdough "tanginess". I can't wait to go back.

I've stopped going to other restaurants because nothing stacks up to the key lime pie or the octopus or the steak frites. The restaurant is SO cute.

Somehow, Mary and Tomas make it even better -- they're so sweet, and we look forward to seeing them every time.
