Here's the thing, the popcorn is never fresh. We always end up throwing it away. No crunch at all to it. If your gig is popcorn, expensive "gourmet" popcorn, you have to make it fresh, not the day before. Unfortunately, we've tried this place for the last time. Maybe if you pre-order something, it's made fresh, I don't know. Baffles me how this place stays in business, not that I don't wish them well.

Before my daughter moved to Syracuse, I used to love watching videos of Hercules Candy making their…read morecandy. I was fortunate enough to finally visit when I was in the area. First, from the outside, it looks fairly typical, inside is clean, and has whatever type of candy or chocolate you desire. Amazing experience. They have a guest sign in sheet where you sign in, leave a message and place a pin in your hometown. The staff were friendly, helpful and just delightful to be around. I came for the fruity pebble bark. As luck would have it, it was one of the few things they were out of, it's popular, that's probably for a reason. So we got a couple of small bags of chocolate. I for milk chocolate covered pecans and my wife, dark chocolate covered toasted coconut. Their chocolate is next level good! I've been around, I frequent any local candy places I can. This was fresh, rich, flavorful. Some of the best chocolate I've had. Do yourself a favor and if you're in the Syracuse area, make Hercules candy a place you visit. You will be glad you did.

Ok, so I saw this cute video on YouTube about viral blue cream chocolates. I loved the look of the…read morecandies and the process of making them, and figured I'd try them out ... just once on a whim. My wife light heartedly teased me, "you did not just spend $$ on a box of candy from an unknown shop on the other side of the country!" I was worried about them surviving the trip to Fresno. Well, they arrived today, perfectly intact with a tiny bit of chill left in the cooler pack to keep them that way. My wife tried one (it's up to four, I think, now), and then she wanted to know the name of "this shop I found". She immediately dug up the shop's website and began picking favorites. Hercules now has two solid fans now in Fresno. My wife has been looking for years for a chocolate experience she's missed for all that time, and these provided that. It's fantastic that you can order light, dark, or mixed as well as creams, nuts, or mixed to get exactly the variety you like best. We got all dark and a mix of fillings. They are perfectly sweet without being cloyingly so. And both the chocolate and the cream inside are so smooth without a hint of the crystalization present in even premium brand mass-produced chocolates (think Godiva). I should probably add that I love them, too. But I had a feeling I would watching them being made, so that was kind of expected. The red creams are amazing! There were some crunchy toffee ones that I really loved as well. I haven't hit a blue one yet like in the video, oddly enough, but there are plenty more to go! We will definitely be having more shipped out this way before the 100°F summer months make that too risky.

Ordering here is a pain and all ordering is done self service with very little interaction with staff. Like that you can now get the smaller cookies that had been for catering or where you had to buy a large number of cookies. Also was pretty excited that the signature pink frosted cookies were available but are only available as smaller cookies which works for me. I will definitely be back for those but was dying to try the Birthday Cake thin cookies and knew with the heat the frosting probably would hold up and had no room in my freezer at home for the pack of the small cookies. Unfortunately, had a number of errands yet to run so will plan on small signature pink cookies soon. Was surprised that Crumbl for single cookies moved from boxes to bags but it worked as I knew I would be hitting that bag when I got to my car as my purpose was to get a quick afternoon sweet fix. This coming from someone who has a super large sweet tooth. The cookie was on the crispy side which is different than the cake like and dense cookies they are known for but they still were really good. Order came as two thin cookies which was nice so I had one for later. Like that it was not a heavy cookie so made it the perfect afternoon snack.

Owner Kristie Carta opened North Star Nutrition in 2021 after many of the same recipes you'll see…read moreon their menu helped her on her own weight loss journey. The nutrition club is one of about a dozen in Central New York, with a staff focused on improving customers' health and wellness with teas, meal replacement shakes and smoothie bowls. Recently, I really wanted a fresh smoothie for breakfast before work. There aren't a ton of places making fresh smoothies in Syracuse, especially open at 7AM. I was in the area, and North Star popped up as near me, so I decided I'd give them a try. The small space is located in the same North Syracuse plaza as Thrifty Shopper and Corso's Cookies, but is tucked off on the side and not easily seen from the street, or even from inside the plaza itself. It is clean, bright and nicely decorated. There were 2 employees who greeted me and offered to answer any questions I had. The menu is quite large, so there's a lot to look over. I found they didn't have smoothies, but smoothie bowls, but I decided to grab one anyway. I chose a green smoothie bowl with pineapple, mango, topped with fresh banana, and some other ingredients. There were no prices on the menu and I was pretty shocked at the price tag when I got rang up - $19 for a smoothie bowl. But, I was already there and didn't have much time before getting to work, so I paid and waited. I was then informed, after I'd already paid and waited about 10 minutes, that they did not have any fresh banana to top my bowl with, as it is on the menu. They asked if I wanted any other toppings, and when I asked what they had, I was told they had no fresh fruit at all. That was definitely disappointing - a place such as this, you'd think there'd always be fresh fruit available, and again, for the price tag, it was upsetting. I got my bowl and was surprised at how small it was - again, with the high price tag. When I got to work and started eating, I also found it EXTREMELY sweet, almost overbearingly sweet, as if too much agave was put into it. While employees were friendly, between the high prices, the small portions, lack of fresh fruit, I don't think I would return.

It was also a great price. The lobster tail to me wasn't as good, but I haven't had one before to compare to others.
