Upper Village Market. Cinnamon Bun, Chocolate Chunk Cookie and More Review.

I got an array of baked goods and pepperettes, they do also make to order subs and wraps (like at Subway) but I did not try them.

Cinnamon bun: it tasted sour, a little like cleaner and I absolutely hated it, I had to spit it out and throw it away 0/5. I wanted to note I did share these items and they felt it was fine and did not share my thoughts on the flavour, so something was wrong for me personally, not that there was something wrong with the bun. (This happens sometimes when you eat an item and something tastes disgusting or inedible but others eating it do not agree, it's very strange.)

Cream horn: one had mold halfway through 0/5. The other one was fine and mold-free but I felt it was not very good, the filling was better than the pastry but neither were enjoyable 2/5. I wanted to note these were individually wrapped, so the one with mold did not touch the other one and I did cut the "good" one into pieces anyway, to share it and to check each piece before eating it.

Banana muffin: it was dry, a bit too dense and boring in flavour but not terrible, not enjoyable to eat and barely tasted like banana 2/5.

Chocolate chunk cookie: it was really good and the chocolate chunks were my favourite part but I just didn't love it due to the texture, as it felt like it was previously cold and the thinness of the cookie threw me off, I prefer thicker cookies. Overall it was really good but I wasn't wowed by the rest of the cookie and the chunks alone cannot carry it 4/5.

Apple pastry: it was good, just too soft and not as baked as I'd like and the filling was fine. I just don't love most apple pastries, so I would not buy it again but I'd eat it if offered 3.5/5.

Hot pepperettes: I thought they were good, a little spicy but not enough for me personally and they did have a good texture and chew, I just prefer them a bit dryer. They were not as flavourful and spicy as other ones I've had but I did not enjoy the aftertaste 3/5.

I don't think I'd buy anything from them again, even the items I would buy again, as I wouldn't want to go all the way there for them and I'd rather go elsewhere, as most of this review was a fail.

Goetze's Candy. Caramel Apple Cow Tales Review.

I've done two other reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the caramel apple cow tales.

I don't like the apple center as I find it's too tart and the flavour is so artificial, even more than the caramel but the caramel was pretty good. I would not buy this or eat this again and I rate it 2.5/5.

Tutto Bene. Tomato and Mozzarella Pasta Review.

 

This is my first time doing a review from this brand. I actually did two of these, one with tomato and one with pesto, pictured is only the tomato one. 

I shook them a lot (as stated in the instructions) and it was still powdery and clumpy, they wouldn't cook or stir properly and the flavour was not good (as I did try to eat it) , it did not have much tomato and no mozzarella flavour, nor did it look good. The idea is good, I like the concept of instant pasta but these were not good, I would not buy or eat them again and I rate them 0/5.

Dairy Queen. Mint Crunchin Cookie Dipped Cone Review.

 

I've done quite a few reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the mint crunchin cookie dipped cone, this is my third dipped cone I've had of theirs.

It sucked, not that it was really bad but it was so boring. The mint flavour was cheap like the dollar store type mints and barely tasted cookie, there were some bites that had no flavour at all. People loved this and I really thought I would too, I am disappointed. I would not buy this or eat it again and I rate it 2.5/5.

Kraft. Hazelnut Spread Review.

 

I've done a few reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) but this is my first review of their brand that isn't mac and cheese, this is their hazelnut spread.

It isn't as rich as Nutella and you can tell by taste and texture that there's no palm oil in it, this has a nicer taste with a less greasy taste and texture which I like and I think it's nice. This is a good lighter version of Nutella and I prefer this one personally. I would buy it and eat it again and I rate it 4/5.

Mr. Pretzel. Pretzel Cheese Stick Review.

 

I've had a couple things from this brand but this is so far my first review. This is the pretzel cheese stick.

It doesn't look like much and you can't visibly see cheese like you would in say a mozzarella stick but it was so cheesy, melty and warm. It was delicious and buttery, though a little overdone and just a little too salty, though I've found almost every pretzel I've ever had, were to some degree of too salty. This is probably one of the best pretzels I've ever had and I would buy it and eat it again and I rate it 5/5.

Red Bull. The Peach Edition. Peach Nectarine Review.

 

I've done quite a few reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the peach nectarine.

I've had this frozen and both were good but I felt this tasted a bit alcoholic, though it is not. I don't love peach as much as the years go by but overall it's nice and has a good peach flavour. I might buy it again but I'd drink it if offered and rate it 4/5.
