Bella Mia

Today I will review Bella Mia Chocolate Shoppe

Location: It is located on the corner of Hertel Avenue and Tennyson near Delaware Avenue.

Service: They are very nice and helpful.

Food: If by food you mean candy,chocolate and ice cream,then yes they have a lot of it. They have Perry's ice cream, milk shakes, slushies, and lots of chocolate like sponge candy and truffles. They have lots of candy including new and old favorites like wax lips, candy lipstick, fruit wedges, and Harry Potter's Berty Botts Every Flavor Beans. They also have Crystal Beach Candy over in their Canadian section. This is where my Mom gets hard to find Cadbury candy for my English Great-grand Mother.They have cool metal lunch boxes.

Overall rating:4 and a half Lego brick out of 5.

Grumpys

Today I will review Grumpy's.

Location: It's on the corner of Hertel Avenue next to Holy Angels. They have lots of tables with umbrellas outside, and two tents to sit under. The inside is small with a counter and stools, bathrooms, and their trophies for The Golden Scoop Award 2009, and baseball awards.

Service: There is no table service, so you order and pay from the nice staff at a window. When your order is ready they will call your name, to pick up at the next window. Sometimes at the end of the night when they are getting ready to close they will give out gummy worms. It's happened to me twice.

Food: They have grill stuff, hot dogs, burgers, Pepsi products and 31 flavors of Hersey Ice Cream. I like their German Chocolate cake ice cream. The owner Mr Grumpy said he chose Hersey's ice cream over Perry's because they have more flavors. He also said the rolls are from Costanzo's Bakery, which is why my mom likes their cheeseburger so much. That and the thick cheese. All the food tastes good.

Kid Stuff: They have lots of ice cream and good food. There's not much to do there, but it is near Shoshone Park which has a big kids playground, baseball diamonds, and a basketball and tennis court.

Overall rating:5 out of 5 lego bricks ATTENTION LOYAL AND VALUED FANS GRUMPY'S IS NOW CLOSED
