Judy was a pleasure to work with, and our wedding cake was AMAZING. My husband and I went to her…read morekitchen twice for tastings (I had gone alone the first time, and my husband wanted to come and meet her too before committing) and her collection of samples (as opposed to her "top 5 best sellers" that a lot of other places used as samples) were incredible and allowed us to see some of endless possibilities for our cake. We finally decided on a hazelnut cake (that she actually grinds hazelnuts into the flour), with layers of poached pear (in pear liqueur) mousse and caramel mousse, with buttercream frosting. It was better than we could have ever hoped for, and many of our friends and family commented on it being the best cake they had every tried! We are counting the days to our "anniversary" cake that Judy will be providing us next year!

I really shouldn't have waited a year! Judy's cakes from Tallant House were incredible and…read moreabsolutely fitting of our wedding. We had a lot of fun exploring the different cake and specialty shops, with elaborate displays with many options to taste and choose from. Even at Judy's shop there were so many options. But she stood out because of her insistence on high quality ingredients, a perfection of layering light layers of cake with multiple mouse and fruit fillings, and her great focus on service and quality. My favorite part, besides eating the cake, was getting a computer generated preview of exactly what our cake would look like. Really, how cool is that? At our tasting she had the typical array of options, but she also had incredible combinations and flavors in mind that we didn't see anywhere else. The options weren't overwhelming either because Judy was careful to provide good constraints and recommendations on what goes with what. Not only that, she took great concern for the actual day of delivery considering weather and time of delivery. She warned us the cakes wouldn't be there by the time we arrived if it was too warm, so when that happened we didn't sweat. They magically appeared sometime after the ceremony and well before cake cutting time - they were on display and all. She came in and out like a ninja, we never saw her! In summary: amazing cake, great for foodies and serious cake eaters, fantastic service, and comfortable collaboration all the way through.

Going for a meandering drive today, Wednesday 27 September 2023, in and around the Cascade…read moreMountains in the rain, I decided to see if I could find Pueblo Viejo on West Main Street in Monroe. The street was on the narrow side with parking on both sides of the street. I parked in some of the angled parking across from the address of Pueblo Viejo. There was a large truck between where I parked and where my Apple Maps app had indicated the store was located. Making my way to the closest crosswalk, I crossed the road and found that yes, the store was behind the truck. A banner clearly marked the store front, and the entrance was easy to spot. Upon entering the store, I decided to stop and take a picture. Once I took the picture, I realized there was a woman behind the front counter watching me and I said hello. Looking around, there was a variety of offerings. My dad has been experimenting with different breakfast recipes from different cuisines and I spotted some ingredients he might find fun. However, what engulfed the majority of my attention was the array of bakery items. Trays were available to one side of the baked goods cases along with tongs. Friendly and helpful workers helped me figure out that I got a bag for the items at payment. I went with a pink pan dulce and what ended up tasting and looking to me like a pineapple empanada of sorts. Neither item was too sweet, and both had flavor and texture true to what it was. Together they made for a good sweet tooth fix. The price for both items with tax was $2.10 and cash payment was accepted. The woman who took me through the payment process was the same one sitting behind the counter when I took the picture when I entered the store. She was warm and friendly in our interactions.

So far living in this area for quite some time now, I have not yet come to a point where the doughnuts where not good. Each time I have come in they have tasted fresh and you know they change their oil often. Have you had a place where you can taste that the oil has not been changed for quite some time? I have. This place has not given me that and it shows. The person that owns this place is always friendly as well and makes me comfortable with a quick chat before having to go back and make another batch of doughnuts. It is always super clean in the shop, but it is not a place to sit and eat. Definitely go in and grab the goodies and be on your next destination type of area. I really enjoy the fritters here and the maple bars. No crazy fancy doughnuts here if that's what you're looking for. But they do have bacon maple bars.

Nothing too grand and great but, if you want some fresh out the fryer doughnuts, they have it. The coffee is okay, I like a more robust tasting coffee roast and I feel like they use a more medium or light roast coffee. (not sure) The folks that work here get real busy and may get agitated by the time you get to put in your order. I am local here, so I see this often when I come and grab coffee. Its not bad where I have had too much experienced someone with an extremely bad attitude but we are human and have our days. The stand looks clean and well kept. I am not a big fan of the biscuits and gravy which they have here and I am not rating based off of that but I think it would be good to mention this for folks to know, it is not for me.

All of the cooking was done on site for 185 guests and it was superb. When we had a couple tables disorganized they stepped in and made it seamless. I can't recommend them enough.
