Catoctin Mountain Orchard has always been a good experience the few times I have visited. In their…read moremarket they sell in season fresh produce, jarred goods, homemade baked goods, gifts, and more. Their baked goods and produce are delicious. I often purchase their baked goods in bulk because it is hard to choose just one; especially their pies. They also sell ready-to-bake, frozen pies that you can bake at home with provided instructions. The interior resembles your typical, mom and pop small town roadside farmers market. The customer service is always friendly. There is ample private parking on the premises. I'll visit again when in the area. Give this place a try.

When we heard there was a specialty cheese shop recently opened in Frederick, we made a point of…read morepaying a visit. While it's small and might be hard for some to find in its underground location, efforts in making your own visit will be rewarded. Even though inventory was reduced from the holiday season, we still found good variety of cheese styles all of outstanding quality. The person staffing the counter was knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely be heading back again this weekend, since they should be restocked. Please help do what you can to make this young business a success. It's a credit to have a shop of this quality in our little town!

I bought the Egg Trio for myself... the sweet and salty peanut butter, pretzel and marshmallow combo is a must try for everyone and brought me back to my s'more days, which are only truly great if you smear some peanut butter on the graham cracker... homerun flavor combo if you ask me! Honestly, all three were delicious, it is going to take some restraint not to buy everything on the site with my next order!

Zoe's chocolate is a staple of Frederick, MD. We were staying at the Visitation and I noticed that…read morethe chocolates yes there - and they were quite lovely. Upon asking I was told that it was supplied by a local chocolatier right in town! Off I went in search of confectionary - and was rewarded with a feast for both eyes and palette! "Small shop-Big flavor" comes to mind - and this place brings it big. They offer both chocolate bars as well as bon-bons by the counter. They also sell tinned hot chocolate (so you can make it on your own), and pretty gift sets! I also learned that it is a 3 generation family owned shop - which makes it all the more special!

4/5 My husband and I…read moredecided to stop by this cute gelato shop in Middletown around 1:30 PM on a Sunday. They had just opened at noon, so we were excited to be some of the first customers and check out the flavors of the day! The young lady working was super friendly, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to be there--which made our experience even better. She kindly offered us samples of several flavors, which helped us narrow down our choices. I ended up going with a scoop of Piña Colada and something new to me called Candy Dream--a purple gelato that surprisingly tasted like strawberries. Super refreshing and different in a good way! I got mine in a waffle cone, but was a little bummed to find out it was the last one already--only an hour after opening. My husband had to go with a sugar cone, which was still tasty, just not his first choice. We originally came in hoping for chocolate, peanut butter, or salted caramel, but learned they rotate flavors daily--so what's on the menu board isn't always available. Just something to know ahead of time if you're craving something specific. Overall, great little spot with delicious gelato and warm, welcoming service. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors (and hopefully snag a waffle cone next time)!
