Although a little reluctant, I decided to make the journey
out to Hudson in hopes of having
lots of tasty goodies to try and take home. The ride to Harvard Sweets wasn't bad at all, about 40 minutes from the city on a Saturday morning and they were actually located right next to The Horseshoe Pub, (I recognized the name from the number of commercials that play during the Phantom Gourmet). Harvard Sweets recently renovated with a cute store front look inside and bright, cheery colors welcomed us bloggers into their bakery.

Next, we met Patrick of Gracenote Coffee located in Berlin,
MA who had us sample a few of his coffee brews with beans from Mexico &
Kenya. Patrick explained about all the different types of coffee beans, how to
brew different types of coffee and why each area that grows coffee beans provides
different types of flavors. I admit, they whole coffee explanation overwhelmed
me a bit; who knew that there was so much to learn about being a coffee coinsure
like a wine or beer coinsure. It would be great to go to a place that did explain
more about the types of coffee, especially if
you could try sample after sample…until then I’ll be sticking with the
*gasp!* Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee & my Keurig.
As the other Bloggers and I walked around behind the scenes
of the store to see how the delicious sweets were made and boxed to go, we were
kept being offered more goodies to sample and take home with us; which I was
more than happy with. We sampled everything from French Macaroons, to brownies
and sandwiches…and of course, more sticky buns!
As the event was winding down, we were treated with a sample
box of Harvard Sweets goodies and I snagged a few sweets for home. If you’re in
the Harvard/495 area, I would suggest stopping by Harvard Sweets, or, if you’re
like me and can’t contemplate why people would drive so far out, you’re in luck…
Harvard Sweets sells their delicious goodies online. Unlike the $3 cookie I purchase
sometimes in the city and it’s only so-so, Harvard Sweets prices are very
reasonable, perfect excuse to purchase a few of their goodies, so make a trip
or go online and try for yourself and taste exactly what I’m talking about!
