Annelore’s German Bakery

At Annelore’s German Bakery, I had a phenomenal time! My first impression gave off a very fancy and classy vibe. The music was classic symphony and all the pastries were lined up near flowers in a neat way. It was all astonishingly beautiful and I enjoyed the atmosphere very much. It was a very spacious environment with not many people except for me and the people I was with. The actual decor and aesthetic was nice though! 


The members were so kind, sweet, and very helpful. They helped me out with what was inside and the name of the food I wanted to try out. In the end, I decided to get the German Raspberry Cheesecake and the Bavarian Cream Macaron. What I liked a lot was that the food was not pricey at all and balanced perfectly in the price range. After I ordered, I waited at a nice round table I found in the room. The staff were amazing, but the delivery wasn't exactly what I was expecting because it was better! The food arrived so quickly that I didn't even realize! 


The cheesecake was not very colorful other than the stunning raspberries, but the macron looked very tempting to try. I dug into the cheesecake first and wasn't completely satisfied with the taste. I mean it was very delicious but I couldn’t seem to taste the raspberry in the cake. I wish the raspberry cheesecake was a bit more balanced together. Other than that, it was a really delightful cheesecake! I moved onto my next treat which was also my last. I took a bite of the macron and I thought of eggnog. I finished the macron in a few bites because it was very tasty! If you like eggnog though, you will definitely like this macron! 


Overall, this bakery was a very good experience and I definitely will come again! I recommend going if you want a quick sweet and savory treat! Highly recommended with a friend or family member as well!

El Amigo Mexican Restaurant

At El Amigo Mexican Restaurant, I had an outstanding time! My first impression gave off a very homey, traditional, creative, and very cultured vibe. The music was a Mexican melody and the place was decorated with Mexican culture decorations. It wasn't very spacious but there was lots of space to sit down and enjoy your meal. There was not only indoor seating, but there was seating outside and inside a barn!   


The staff were friendly and introduced me to New Mexican foods! I ended up ordering the Cheese Quesadilla aka “una quesadilla de queso”, the French Fries aka “papas fritas”, and the Jarritos Guava Soda! First, I tried the Guava flavored soda and it was absolutely one of the best drinks I have ever tasted! I could really taste the guava and the sweetness hidden inside the drink. Not just this soda, but they had many more options that I thought were so cool and fascinating! They had different types of lemonades, milks, jarritos, arizonas, aloe vera’s, and so many more! They also of course had your simple favorites like Gatorade, Dr Pepper and all the others. 


Next, I tried the fries and oh my! They were casual and simple fries but they were so good that words just could not express it! They were warm and tasted fresh too! The last food I tried was the cheese quesadilla. My first bite was a big one because I was too excited from the delicious looks and smells of the quesadilla! The cheese melted in my mouth and it was even a little warm, the perfect quesadilla. 


Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant because it brought huge smiles to me and to others! This restaurant really represented the Mexican culture in foods and in the atmosphere in the room. I would recommend going here for lunch or for dinner with a few friends! I absolutely enjoyed and loved it here and I know you will too!

At Di Fara Pizza Tavern, I had a great time! My first impression was a very homemade, small, and cozy vibe. When I first arrived, the smell of pizza and  garlic really hit me and I absolutely loved the smell. I did not get much of a welcoming greeting, but later on, the staff were very kind. When I sat down, it was very nice to be able to watch while eating. There were tons of varieties of TVs to watch, but they presented most of the same thing. The seats were super comfortable and the decorations were very nice outside and the lighting was good inside. They had lights and paintings on the walls outside which I enjoyed very much because of the pleasant view. There was not a lack of seating because there were outdoor and indoor seating options. Tons of shade and air conditioning was provided and the service for the drinks was so quick to arrive. They also had a very interesting New York water maker so they could make the pizza crust nice and soft for customers to enjoy, which I was fascinated to learn about!

When the food arrived, I was absolutely amazed! Me and my group had ordered the cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, and the white pie. We also ordered garlic knots for the group. The garlic knots were so good, they were balls of delicious goodness and they tasted very garlic and oily which went together perfectly. I have to say, they were one of the best I have ever tried! Next, the pizza came, but it took quite a while. I had only tried the cheese pizza, but my group said the white pie and the pepperoni pizza were amazing as well. The cheese pizza was delicious and so so so good! This might be my new favorite pizza! It was fresh and warm, straight out of the oven. I only had a tiny problem with the pizza, the basil. If you are a fan of basil, then you will definitely love this pizza and have no problem with it at all! They did put a lot of basil on the pizza which was okay because if you don’t like basil, you can just take the bits of it off. Other than that tiny problem, the pizza was very good! Overall, I really enjoyed Di Fara. I would recommend coming here as a nice place to go with your family or friends and grab a flavourful bite of delicious pizza!

Geluna Gelato

At Geluna Gelato, I had a delightful time! My first impression was a very pleasant and sweet environment that was presented around me. It smelled very nice like s’mores gelato if that’s even a thing! There was jolly music playing and it was all such a beautiful atmosphere. The aesthetic of the gelato filled room was cute and there were even little toy ice creams on the windows at the front. I could tell the seating was very limited but still, there were options like taking a cup of delicious gelato and walking around Downtown Cary. The workers and staff here were sweet and helpful with providing people with their favorite choice of gelato. I did learn some cool and interesting things at Geluna! 


Did you know that gelato is made with mostly whole milk and less cream and that it’s the opposite for ice cream? And that ice cream is about 50 percent air because they churn the cream fast but for gelato, it's about 24 percent air because they churn the cream slower! The atmosphere, environment, aesthetic, decorations, background, and staff was all amazing! I had only a small problem. The price. I would definitely say that the gelato is a little overpriced but it is worth it!

 

It was a very difficult decision to make but I finally decided on the strawberry sorbet and the cookies and cream. My first bite of the strawberry sorbet was a bite of joy. It was so good! I could taste the freshness in the gelato and even if it was not homemade, it tasted like it was! The texture was smooth and perfect. As for the cookies and cream, my first bite was also a good one. It melted in my mouth and the little cookie oreo parts evened out perfectly in the gelato. It was a very basic flavor but it was still so flavorful. The temperatures of both the gelato felt nice and cooled my tongue when I ate it in joy. Overall, this is a really nice place to grab a friend and share a sweet treat!

The Delicious Chocolate!

I am only giving a review about the dark, milk, and white chocolate samples I got. The other chocolates I got that were shown in the picture, I am not eating right away. I want to save them for my family and for me later in the day! The dark chocolate is very chocolatey and I can taste the cacao very well in the treat. Dark chocolate is probably my least favorite flavor but it was still so good. Next I tried milk chocolate, most people’s personal favorite. It was really good. It was milky then dark but I could still taste the cacao in the chocolate as well.  Lastly, I tried the white chocolate, and it was so good. My favorite one was definitely the white one. It was milky, sweet, and tasted like white chocolate chips. I enjoyed these samples so much and I am excited to taste my other chocolates that I bought and showed in the picture. Overall, now I know why the shop calls their shop, "Chocolate Smiles”, because this shop made me and my entire group smile so much!

At Chocolate Smiles, I had a sweet time! My first impression was a very pleasant and sweet smelling and homey Chocolate vibe! The atmosphere was brilliant and the environment in the chocolate shop was stunning and looked like a sweet chocolate shop. The decorations were so cool and I was amazed how amazing all the decorations were put around and put together in the shop! The sweet scent topped the shop and made the shop look brilliantly put together! I absolutely loved this place and am for sure grateful I came. I am coming again and you should visit too! Me and my group mostly spoke to one of the staff and she was also the owner. She was so helpful and she described everything and every single detail about Chocolate! My knowledge of Chocolate is so big now, and we even got samples and we got a bookmark handed out with Chocolate tasting details. A few things I learned was that the staff and workers don't buy all their chocolate and sell it, but they hand make most of their chocolate! Also, the shop has been around for 41 years! That's so cool! One thing I especially liked was that everything in the shop was in order and the prices were perfect for each chocolate.
