So glad to offer a strong thumbs up to this local Spice company. I am a cooking snob, so I take…read moreflavors very seriously, and Stuart's won me over. In today's world, spices are no longer as hard to find as they once were, from online to local ethnic grocery and beyond, there is so much to try. I really enjoy going into Stuart's and seeing new things that I should try. Getting recommendations from the staff and even, with some flavors, have a chance to smell/taste different offerings. I highly recommend stopping in and giving them a pride. It is a wonderfully calm and clean place with amazing staff and products.

I have received multiple generous gifts from my western New York-based friends over the last…read moreseveral years. Last week I received an amazing assortment of different spice combinations from Stuart's Spices. They also sent a sample of a rub with the 3 awesome baskets: habanero honey...it's delicious!! I might actually use it as a rub...if there's any left....since I've been sprinkling it in my salads. Mmmmm hmmmm!! Give me some of that hot, salty and sweet goodness to kick things up!! Can't wait to try the middle eastern varieties in my new Tagine that I'm curing right now. If I ever head to the area, I'll definitely visit the store in person. This is a GREAT place to get gifts for anyone on your list that cooks, likes to experiment with flavors/spices...or is just looking to start.

I have absolutely no clue why I have never written a review on this place.. well here we go…read more I've been here to pick up things for events and raffles.. Ive tried the oils and vinegars pre-Covid. Lots of fun things to try and it gives you ideas of things to use with different foods. (Mayer Lemon EVOO!) Oils as a garnish or to sauté with, make salad dressings, dip your bread..the list goes on. Thing is with Covid I have no idea if you can try anything? I would say ask.. I buy blind and I just go by a description so... What's nice is they ship and they have a few other locations. If you want to give a gift to someone who loves to cook but not sure what to get them. Come here you can get a bunch of different things or get a prepared box of boxed up oils and etc. Staff is friendly and helpful considering Covid it's not a big place and they will regulate the flow of customers if it gets a bit too much. What's good about this place is where it is, after you go in here depending the time frame you can pop in to Baker Street Bakery for some bread and treats. Check out Salty a lovely boutique store or go to Cafe Sasso, Glen Edith, The Chai Guy or Pittsford Dairy for some drinks and treats. Parking is street or behind the building on Somerton. Give them a whirl.

I absolutely love any stop into F. Oliver's. Looking for a unique gift you know people will use?…read moreThis is the spot! The staff here are total experts when it comes to helping you find a unique flavor profiles and combinations, and, while I haven't been in during the COVID times, know they have an amazing tasting process during the normal times. I adore their balsamics and am particularly partial to the fig and berry-based bottles. We always have F. Olivers with our Sunday sauce at my parents house - paired with some Wegmans garlic tuscan bread?! Forget it. I always look forward to my next order of oils and balsamics. Stop in if you have yet to, making stops at Salty and Baker Street Bakery in the awesome Somerton plaza. F. Olivers also has a location in Canandaigua. Happy dipping!

We were a little suspect driving there as it's not on a main road and almost appears to be in someone's house.

I stopped by PLN for the first time yesterday and am really impressed by this biz! I had heard…read moretheir shakes were yummy, so that was my mine objective in visiting. Get my smoothie, check out the grab and go cooler, and learn more about what this great spot has to offer. The bulk of their biz is meal prep and nutrition planning - and they seem to have a strong clientele of Rochesterians. They are conveniently located in the Lac De Ville plaza and I was in and out within five minutes. Everyone was SO kind and helpful, and my shake was really delicious. I am a protein powder SKEPTIC. I think it makes everything taste like diet chalk. I am pleased to report my banana shake did NOT taste like chalk, and I downed the whole thing throughout the course of an afternoon. I am grateful for anything that includes calorie counts these days. As I am aiming to be a bit more mindful about how much I am consuming in a given day (and of what!) this is really helpful. Given that we're home so much, I haven't had an issue making time for meal planning and grocery shopping. When we get back to "normal" and time is taken up by events and other happenings, I would ABSOLUTELY consider doing a meal program through PLN. I look forward to the next time I can stop by, and would recommend for anyone in the area looking for a lighter lunch option.

Favorite cake shop!!!…read more I've been following Joelle Eats Cake on Instagram forever so I was very excited when she first got her own shop in Spencerport and had been looking forward to finally visiting ever since then. The canal days festival was the perfect excuse, and she had some additional flavors available in honor of the festival. I tried the chamomile honey apricot and the iconic cosmic brownie. Both were delicious and had great texture, but the chamomile honey apricot stole the show. Neither cake was too sweet, it was moist, flavorful, and the frosting was the perfect balance to the cake. The shop itself is cute and small. The decor is very cute, and there is a small seating area with large windows for natural light. It's a must visit!
