“Great to work with! They stepped up last minute to come to our event and did a great job. Would definitely recommend!“

“Crumbl is by far my favorite sweet treat ever. 10/10, I have gotten crumbl as many times as I have gotten random pencils from the school floor and lockers. That is many many times.

a Farm; great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the City; The World Really! 🥰🧑🏽‍🌾👩🏻‍🍳👩‍❤️‍👨🐄🐑🐐🐓🦃☔️🍎🍐🍊🍓“

“If your kid is under 40 inches you get a kids size ice cream FREE. No $4 ice cream like other places where 1/2 ends up melting, 1/4 all over them and they only eat 1/4. Home made too. Delish!“

“Delicious ice cream, friendly people at the counter, convenient parking and lots of indoor/outdoor seating. A family favorite!!!“

“Lovely view of the field out back while enjoying the wonderful ice cream that they get from Richardson's Diary in Middleton. If you're lucky (like we were!), a brazen little bunny might join you by the picnic tables to feast on all the clover popping up! So cute!“

“Love this place. Very friendly people and a lot closer than Richardson’s.“

“Literally the best ice cream I’ve ever put in my mouth! And if you don’t have a spoon in your hotel room the end of your toothbrush works almost as well! (Photo n comments!)“

“Stillwells is a hidden gem in Plaistow. Don't let the plaza dissuade you, this is the best ice cream in the area. The servers are super speedy and friendly and prices are very reasonable for Richardson's ice cream. Don't miss out on the prepacked gallons, ice cream pies, or ice cream sandwiches. We're here probably more than we should be.“

“best cookies I've ever had!!! very nice staff too; can't wait to go back!“

“Ice cream is delicious and cooling on a hot summer day!“

“Ari's is the place!!!! Never a bad meal & the prices are awesome!!! Ari is one of the nicest guys in the world!!!“

“Had a delicious BLT! And a super-friendly waitress too.... 👍🙂“

“Got our tree here today. Was very reasonably priced and I can't say enough about the people working there. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Best place for tree's with best service“

“My family and I like this place. They have really good ice cream for really good prices but the parking situation makes it annoying to come here. There's a tiny parking lot and not enough picnic tables. This place is always busy which is great, but they really have to do something about parking and seating. Just a thought 🙂 awesome place otherwise.“

“Great bakery...amazing pastry and coffee! Highly recommended!“

“Best Dairy Queen Experience Ever!!

I don’t know what Dairy Queen is putting in their blizzards but, I think they’ve also sprinkled some magic into their employees. There was a young, tall, brown-haired guy working last night who deserves an award. Not only did he serve my Blizzard upside down with confidence, but he also made the whole experience top-tier with his friendly attitude and quick service.

If Dairy Queen had a Hall of Fame, this guy would be in it. Give him a raise, or at least unlimited dipped cones for life! 10/10 will be returning soon!“

“excellent service, good menu with photos and prices, family atmosphere, very good food and Acai is the best in the region, good quantity, good assembly, and good price, I definitely recommend it, looking forward to eating the burgers

“Super fun fall activity with kids!!! We loved looking at all the pumpkins, doing the corn maze (tricky, but not frustrating), eating warm cider donuts, and ice cream, visiting with the cutest baby cows, all topped off with the very best hayride we've ever been on!! All the staff were super kind and it was all well worth it! Highly recommend and we'll be getting our pumpkins there next year for sure.“

“Love the options here!! The staff are literal angels on Earth, and you would be hard pressed to find poor quality food here. I love their smoothies, coffees, energy balls, meals, and brownies. Anything they make is great, and the prices are hard to beat for the quality.

Also, the breakfast burrito is huge. Definitely recommend!

They are usually very quick, too! Only takes ~5 minutes for me to order, pay, get my smoothie and other treats, and leave. They are so quick!! And if that's not quick enough, you can order in advance, and they will have things ready for you.

You know it's also a great spot when a lot of the people at my school know about the place, and like it, too. Several of them know staff members by name, it really says a lot, right?

Definitely worth a visit, I love this place so much!!

Vegetarian options: They have a lot of veggie options, and everything is highly customizable. Just make a request, and the staff will most likely be able to do it!

Dietary restrictions: All of the food is clearly labeled, food is customizable. They are especially good about common allergens like gluten, peanuts, and diary.

Parking: There is no designated parking lot for A Sweet Affair. HOWEVER, you should be able to find parking on the side of the street most of the time! There are also nearby gas stations that you may opt to park at, both of which are a short walk from A Sweet Affair.

Kid-friendliness: A Sweet Affair is not tailored to children, but I would consider it to be child friendly for a few reasons!

•Child friendly menu options. They have a good variety of things here, from the healthy to the more indulgent. They have oatmeal, ice cream, cookies, fruity and decadent smoothies. Not only that, their menu options are highly customizable, so if your child doesn't like a particular ingredient, it is very easy to swap it out!

•Decor is vibrant and colorful! There is a lot to admire or look at in there for a kid. Bookshelves, fruit decor, tables with knickknacks. It isn't too overstimulating, either. Very comfortable place.

•Staff members are inviting, friendly, and easy to talk to! They usually have a lot of nice things to say and can probably entertain a child or communicate with a child clearly. They also have good recommendations.

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is fairly accessible!

There is no level difference in the outside to the inside, it is completely flat. There are no steps to worry about. The door might not be especially wide, but I think it's wide enough to fit a wheelchair.

The area is broad, and there are no tight areas to squeeze into in A Sweet Affair! Everything is very easy to reach. Should be comfortable enough to navigate.

There is no automatic door opening button, but the staff members will come and help if they see any struggling.

Staff members can make accommodations if asked, and they will communicate clearly.“

“I love Shake shack, the burgers are delicious as well as the cheese fries and they always have some kind of special or seasonal offering. I'm not super impressed with the current Black truffle Burger, but you can't go wrong with a burger from there with some nice crispy onions some shack sauce and whatever else you like on your burger. The shakes are phenomenal because they are frozen custard not just regular ice cream and again that's another thing they always have some kind of seasonal offering on. I wish they would bring back a shake they had a couple of years ago it was called the cherry blossom and I was devastated when it rotated off the menu. There's always something new and different to try and if you use Uber eats a lot of times they throw in a buy one get one free deal which you can't go wrong with. If you've never been it's worth a stop, I remember when they opened one in New Haven it was the first one outside of New York City I believe there was a line down the street for weeks. I also have never met a dog that doesn't like the bag o bones.“
