Sweets for Cheaps!

Short snippet of a cute little bakery and cake shop we stumbled into today while doing a little shopping.

Capital City Cakes, Grove City OH

This was our first time here, and we kind of had difficulty finding it. We called the number listed online, and they were helpful enough to get us going in the right direction, although they closed within the half hour.

To my surprise when we found the small bakery it was quite welcoming. They had a few small glass display cases set up and we decided to try a few random things since we weren't sure what we would enjoy the most!

Pictured below: pistachio lemon cupcake

I'm a big fan of nearly anything pistachio. So upon first glance I decided I had to have one of these. The woman who was getting the items reassured me that it was really good. So I was excited to try it. It wasn't the best cupcake that I've had, and maybe not even in the top cupcakes that I've been able to try. I was slightly disappointed, mainly because the bakery is supposed to be famous mainly for the cakes they produce. But it wasn't a bad cupcake either, it was simply alright.

Seth and I both decided we needed a entire cookie to our self. And we were not disappointed in this decision. The cookies weren't soft, but the outer edges were crispy and the inside was chewy. It would have paired very well with a glass of milk.

Seth also ordered a small piece of baklava, but had it devoured before I was able to get a quick picture!

All in all it was a nice little place for something sweet and cheap. I almost forgot to mention the cookies were only $1 a piece, the cupcakes were $2.50 and they also have a few other items all of which were fairly priced.

Bourbon, burgers, and Bar Louie!

This restaurant may sound familiar to some. We've eaten here before and have never been disappointed with the food or service. Stop into Bar Louie for some great food and and a great late night type of atmosphere, or maybe just after doing a little shopping in the mall. Bourbon Bacon Burger Just by looking at the special limited time menu of this burger and many other special sandwiches alike, we knew this burger would be incredibly flavorful. A beautifully cooked meat patty deserves nothing better than a beautifully crafted sauce and delcious toppings to back them up. A perfect meat patty topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, a delcious bourbon sauce and a nice stack of fried onion straws... It's making my mouth water just thinking about it... Unsurprisingly, the look of the burger was astonishing. The juicy patty had a decent portion of crispy onion straws that make the presentation really stick out. The first bite ...

Noodlecat's Dream Buns

If you're strolling through downtown Cleveland we hope you stumble into Noodlecat . Located on Euclid Ave, you will be surrounded by a few different popular restaurants, don't be shy! Try them all! From our experience you can't go wrong. Noodlecat serves up three main options noodles, buns, and veggies. Unfortunately we did not come for noodles on this visit, we came for the Japanese Steam Buns! We picked 2 of the 5 bun options they had available and went with the J-fried Chicken bun and the Fresh bacon bun. These Buns are Japanese white bread sandwiches each topped with lettuce and pickle. For the J-fried Chicken Bun, this soft steam bun has a piece of fried chicken, sweet and spicy power ketchup. At first bite you're in love. The fresh steam buns are amazing. The chicken was crispy, tangy, and delicious but it was no match for the next bun that we tried! The Fresh Bacon Bun was filled with a delicious slice of lightly smoked, sugar ...

The Ale House May be Good for Whatever Ails You

All of you Ohio natives out there, if you havent been to Ale house 1890 in Lancaster Ohio you are definitely missing out. They have wonderful hamburgers and so many to menu items to choose from! All of these burgers are specially made with their own selection of fresh ingredients. They definitely know their way around a burger! They also have new specials pretty frequently such as fried macoroni! (See review for fried Macoroni below!) so go in and don't miss them! Ale House 1890 Our first pick from the menu was the Barnyard Burger. Barnyard Burger This burger was an absolute taste masterpiece! The first bite I took I could immediately taste the sweetness of marmalade and the grilled taste of the patty which collided with each other creating a wonderful taste combination. The garlic aoli was a nice touch to the burger as well, better than mayonnaise if you ask me! Also the micro greens was a great bonus to an already delcious sandwich. And what is bet...
