"For the longest time, my dad has been bringing food from there. Store home and it's always been fantastic. But for the first time, today I went into the store myself after years of eating their food and everyone from the owners to the customers were just a joy to be around."

"Today was my first time going there. The couple that own it were so welcoming and sweet! I had a chat with Helena about her periogies and how they're made. I bought 2 packs of the bacon, potato, and cheddar kind, which come in a dozen. I also bought the custard cake (pictured) but I couldn't remember the name. The cake was extremely good! I plan on going again!"
