    Came here yesterday to get some chocolate cicadas and ended up leaving with some truffles...a rice krispie treat and some chocolate crabs that were supposed to have old bay on it. I wasn't sure if the old any was supposed to be sprinkled on it or of it is mixed into the chocolate but I guess I will find out when I try it. I hope I didn't need to ask for the old bay separately. The cicadas were interesting...kinda hard in certain points from the crunch and chocolate I think. The truffles were beautiful...if anything will bring me back it will be those. The prices seemed good until I got my fab and ended up being close to $50...I don't even know what could of been worth that much. Overall, sweet Cascades is a cute shop to look at while walking around at Historic Ellicott city but I don't think I would be back...the prices are not worth it.

    A random day exploring Ellicott City led me to this super cute chocolate shop. The two ladies inside greeted us immediately and were super nice and enthusiastic about the chocolates. The store is small but very well put together with plenty of chocolates labeled for your choosing. We decided to purchase the VDay milk chocolate covered pretzels and Oreos. I've always been very curious about truffles and the dessert display behind the glass were filled to plenty of options. I ultimately decided to try (2) which were $3.25 each. The raspberry truffle is enrobed in dark chocolate ganache filled with raspberry fruit paste. The stella rose truffle is enrobed in dark chocolate with a white Belgian chocolate ganache center, infused with essence of rose, and topped with dried rose petals. Each bite was rich and tasty. While delicious, a bit overwhelming in chocolate for me. I however loved the pretzels and Oreos! I'll definitely stop by to try some of the other chocolate covered items.

    I've been given chocolates here as a gift and they're always delicious and taste freshly made! I was glad to be able to go in person and pick out some tasty treats. The smores were unique and tasty. I also got an assortment of truffles. I love that they had multiple fruit cream flavors to try. The black cherry cream was my favorite. The staff were very sweet and friendly. I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend Sweet Cascades to anyone

    Some of the truffle flavors, including Jack Daniels, Rum, Bourbon, Persian Saffron & Pistachio, Mango, and Strawberry Balsamic.

    Stopped in here for the first time last Sunday. The person who served us was very helpful and patient; he gave us a rundown on all of the truffles and recommended his favorites. We tried the strawberry balsamic and orange truffles as well as a chocolate turtle and white chocolate bark with cranberries and walnuts. The caramel turtle was excessively sweet and lacked nuance - the ones at Godiva or Wockenfuss are better. The orange truffle was okay. The strawberry balsamic and white chocolate bark were delicious! I will say, for the price, I'd rather go to Godiva. I don't plan on making this my go-to high-end chocolatier, but I'd return the next time I'm on Main Street. It's nice to support a small business.

    This is a small chocolate shop in the heart of old historic Ellicott city. When you step into the shop you are shot with a smell of sweet chocolate. The store is covered with all sorts of chocolate concoctions. They offer chocolate covered graham crackers to chocolate covered peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They have rows upon rows of different truffle flavors. They have everything from old bay to lavender. They have rose flavored truffles to sea salt caramels. Their truffles are scrumptious and sweet gems in a chocolate shell. Their chocolate covered pretzels are decadent and very filling. I believe if you are in the historic district of old Ellicott city, you have to stop by this chocolate store. It's the perfect way to end your trip at old Ellicott and the perfect way to end this review.

    Chocolate covered Twinkie.

    I've been to numerous "chocolate" shops in Maryland only to be disappointed in terms of flavor, or lack of, the presentation of their treats, the prices and the unpleasant vibes you get from the ones selling them. Thank you Lord for allowing me to find this place because not only is it a 10 minute drive from where I live, but also how delicious their treats are! The only con about this place is that it's on Main St. You have to find a parking space either on the side of the street or at their "parking lots". Fortunately, through luck and blessing, I wound up at the parking lot by the Matcha Cafe so the walk wasn't bad. The woman behind the counter (owner?) was very friendly and accommodating and has made a few jokes regarding their unique selection of chocolaty treats. They had so much variety in such a small place that I felt overwhelmed. Thankfully, the woman was very patient and has recommended a few things to me like the White Chocolate covered Pistachios in which I thought were freaking fantastic! The prices of their treats seemed reasonable. I also got a Jack Daniel's Truffle, Chocolate covered Twinkie with sprinkles, a Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle and something else. The JD Truffle tasted like it was marinated in Jack Daniel's for years because that hit me like a truck. Personally, I loved it. The chocolate covered twinkie was awesome as well. Though, I'm not a big fan of sprinkles, it did give another layer of texture due to its crunchiness and the twinkie itself wasn't stale. The DC peanut butter truffle was great as well. Personally, I'm a sucker for anything peanut butter and this was no exception. Everything I had here were nothing short of marvelous. What they could do is give us a bag that is resistant to the hot weather so we can preserve the chocolates a little longer or put the chocolates in a freezer/fridge for a bit before heading out because the sun will melt them thangs fast! By the time I got to my car, both the peanut butter and Jack Daniel's truffles were half way melted. From their extensive variety of treats to the woman's tolerance and friendly attitude, I love this place. Oh and you should check out their backyard! It's small, like 6 or 7 seats small, but it's so relaxing!

    Excellent chocolate and an owner was friendly and really into what she does. I'm very indecisive and asked the owner which truffle she would recommend. I was impressed in her passion and got a whole synopsis on about half the options there. I finally settled on the mango truffle and I just had to get the buckeye because peanut butter and chocolate. The truffle was great, the white chocolate, super sweet but a good summer bite. They have a dark and milk chocolate buckeye. I went with dark and it was so good!

It's a smallish space and indoor seating was really full at 11 AM on a weekday. Because of rain, the outdoor benches were not in use, and I saw closed-up patio-umbrellas too. I ordered from a kiosk or you could order online or in person. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was made quickly by welcoming staff. It was a regular size croissant with very light cheese and a layer of crispy bacon pieces in a well toasted croissant. The flavor was good. This café also sells a number of beverages, including fresh ground espresso, and various teas And they sell some bakery goods, candies, and quite a variety of dry-packaged teas and coffee. The parking right in front Café Jun can get pretty full, but there's plenty parking in the rest of the shopping center. You can enter the shopping area from eastbound US-40 Baltimore National Pike, or from westbound Frederick Road. It's just east of Centennial Lane/Bethany Lane and about a mile West of US 29. The larger shopping area has a diner 3-strip mall sections, one of which is called Princess Shopping Center, so I'm a little confused which mall-name covers which shops. They have a summer concert planned! That should be fun!

People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

I love how they're made with little balls because it's the perfect way to try every single one. My tip is to tear a ball size off each donut you get and eat it. Everyone with you can follow suit after you (ha ha). In all seriousness, tearing a ball piece off the donut allows you and everyone with you to try all of the flavors you choose. You'll find yourself enjoying each bite and picking your favorite out of the bunch. My family and I eat mochi donuts like this and we all chat about which one we like amongst other topics.
