They moved to Cranbrook a long time ago and at least two generations of Simon's were keeping up shop. Legend has it that Mr Simon pretty much lived in the place!! Well, the Simon family sold the business about a year ago to a Latino family. They are great folks and quick to offer a happy greeting upon entering the shop. Their famed sugar cookies dominate the display cases behind the counter. My mission this morning was to acquire two parcels of a deeply personal culinary weakness: DONUTS! Made from scratch donuts. Far better than Krispy and gas station or c-store donuts. At 1.50 each, you can't beat it as far as flavor and quality go. My second visit in about a month. I'll try to make it more frequently, but, you know, donuts... It's easy to stumble...

I was eager to peruse to see what tasty treat I could grab. Parking was plentiful, but busy. I suggest you go as early as possible to secure a hassle free experience parking and market wise. Upon entering, the convergence of scents hit at once: desserts, bbq, popcorn. I wasn't mad at all. Our first stop was the bbq kiosk where we purchased a rack of ribs and wings. They have a variety of mini markets and food vendors in the building: bbq, seafood, spices, bakery, pickles items, clothing, furniture, butcher, handmade crafts, fresh made pretzels, etc. They also had an area to sit and enjoy your food purchases. We also picked up a half of a coconut cake, a slice of strawberry cheesecake, some apple butter and blackberry jam, and as we exited we got the glazed almonds and cashews. This place seems big, but it is manageable to walk around and check out all of the vendors. Upon tasting, our ribs were good: perfectly seasoned and fresh; the wings were rotisserie roasted and were good as well; the cake was just ok for us fresh with coconut flakes held on by white buttercream; the strawberry cheesecake was just ok; the glazed nuts were good as well. All in all, a nice market to visit for fresh, homemade food and unique crafts/gifts.

You order at a kiosk thing, and then they call up your number when your order is ready. My husband and I came here at almost 1 pm on a Monday. We were the only customers in there the whole time. We got the soft serve twist, a peach oolong crepe cake, and an egg waffle. The egg waffle was great best thing. It was made fresh and crispy on the outside. The peach oolong crepe cake slice was still frozen. They had been open for an hour at that point. We decided to just take it home so it could thaw a little bit. The soft serve was fine. The matcha part was very frozen. Not soft serve texture. The milk part of it was softer and better. I think it might be better to go later in the afternoon when everything isn't frozen still. It wasn't bad but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

Maybe that's because it doesn't say Gong Cha on the storefront (it says The Sweetest Spot)! But once I realized it was nearby (thank you, Google Maps), I stopped by over lunch last week. If you've been to a Gong Cha location before, you know that it has a large menu - with way too many choices, an overwhelming number of choices! But that can be great once you get familiar with the menu. Until then, I'll just panic order and enjoy what I get. Last week that was a Strawberry Green Tea, which was delicious. I love that everything is customizable (I think I got 0% added sugar and 25% ice in mine last week). Now that I know it's there, I'm sure I'll be back!

Not knowing exactly what I was looking for, the staff were outstanding assisting me with what I needed. I placed the order and paid for the cake and was about to leave when I decided that I wanted a treat for myself and I got a triple chocolate cheesecake cupcake which was out of this world. When I got home, I found out the birthday girl wanted an all chocolate cake and knowing that that was an option, I called the store back and asked if there was a way that we could modify what I had ordered for something else. Since it was more than a week before the cake was being picked up, they said it was no problem. Really great store, super location, delicious cake items, and they even have dog biscuits and pupcakes for our furry friends. Can't say enough about this place and I highly recommend to visit here if you're looking for a cake for a special occasion and if you need a gluten-free cake they have many options for you to choose from. The cake prices are reasonable here and this will be my place of choice not only now but for the future. I highly recommend a visit here.

We've tried a number of places (and, yes, even those along Route 40 and around Ellicott City). Name it, we've tried it. Towson. Lutherville. Hunt Valley. Not even close. Their boba mixes are all incredibly tasty. Everything is well curated. They even get the sweetness level just right. I always ask for 75% because I want something more quenching, but get it at 100 and then adjust. A certain little girl I know always gets the strawberry milk boba (sometimes with poppers) and it's the epitome of what you want in this drink. They recently revamped their look and put out some new offerings, all of which makes the place possibly the ONLY PLACE in all of Cockeysville/Hunt Valley worth visiting for the sweet toothed. And, wait for it, they have COFFEE. Did I mention they have coffee? What's with the neighborhood of Cockeysville? Do they not like coffee? Is it too hard to have some strong bracing coffee that's so hot, you have to blow on it? And pleeze people. Ask for Korean pastries. They are so good, if you ask, they're gonna start sourcing more of the fresh kind and then we're gonna finally have a first rate cafe here in this cafe desert that is Cockeysville. Not to effuse, but the place is also adorable. Clean, bright, effortlessly welcoming. I didn't review this place for the longest and I'm kinda conflicted about it. But there's so much bad boba out there, bobas getting a bad rap. There may be one other boba house that is decent... but when you consider ambiance and variety, it's not even close.
