Your sweet tooth called. It'll meet you in Loudoun.
Valentine's Day is not only the day for love, but also the day of filling up with something sweet.
Here are Loudoun's County top ten sweet spots:
- Virginia Blackberry Crumb Pie Mom's Apple Pie, Leesburg Mmmmmm...If you can't eat a handful of tangy big blackberries right off the vine, this is the next best thing! Named of of the South's Best Pies by Southern Living (June 2010).
- Cinnamon Roll Little Apple Pastry Shop, Aldie Arguably the best cinnamon roll you'll ever taste, made from scratch daily.
- Sticky Toffee Pudding Hunter's Head Tavern, Upperville The name of this traditional English favorite says it all. Think warm, gooey, and satisfyingly sweet.
- Cow Puddle Cookie The Upper Crust Bakery, Middleburg A disk of pure indulgence, made with caramel and butterscotch, that melts in your mouth. It was Jackie O's favorite cookie. Need we say more?
- Milkshake Leesburg Restaurant, Leesburg A simply delicious, creamy, old-fashioned shake. Some vigorous shopping at the nearby shops will burn off the calories!
- The "Lola" Cookie Lola Cookies, Leesburg A cross between a fluffy gingersnap and a classic chocolate chip cookie, the Lola has an unforgettable chewy center and a slightly crispy sugary shell. It was a blue ribbon winner at the 2004 Virginia State Fair.
- Any One of 37 Pies Hill High Country Store, Round Hill Choose your favorite, then choose from 36 more. If you're wondering, we're partial to the Caramel Apple Walnut. Slices are available but why not take home a whole pie?
- Chocolate Dipped Marshmellos Mello Out, Middleburg Homemade marshmellos in peppermint, lemon, orange, vanilla, and almond - some dipped in chocolate!
- World's Smallest Sundae Lightfoot Restaurant, Leesburg A mini-version of the traditional - vanilla bean ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and chopped roasted peanuts, perfectly topped with a cherry.
- Warm Flourless Chocolate Waffle Sweetwater Tavern, Sterling This decadent chocolate waffle contains just the right amount of richness, served warm, and topped with vanilla ice cream.
