    The apple crisp.  I don't care what GLP you are on.  You will finish this.  yum

    Alter is for alter your driving route, alter your plans and swing by Alter for some delicious small batch ice cream made in house or perhaps a tasty latte served up by some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Try ALL the flavors. You have a hard time deciding which pint to take home. If you decide to get a pint AND a sundae they will keep your pint(s) cold while you enjoy (on this day the apple crisp was the sundae available and it was..... To.Die.For!) The employees are enthusiastic and welcoming. The decor is witty and fun and yet celebrates the old school architecture. In February the place was hopping. If it goes on like this I suspect an expansion may be necessary. The ice cream flavors are inventive and delicious! Waffles cones are made in house. Everything from the ice cream to the art on the walls has been undertaken with great care and it shows. I hope others will enjoy Alter as much as I do. If I sound a bit like an advertisement it is not intentional, it's just that I'm so excited to see small businesses like this one succeed in Petersburg. And I am from the northeast and we love our ice cream!

    I indulged in the rosemary, fig jam and shortbread flavor with an additional scoop of the cranberry miso and ginger.

    I quite liked this place, it was so easy to forget that I was inside the mall when you step into…read morethis cozy coffee shop. The two people working at the counter were very helpful and friendly, and I really liked that they had a nice variety of options including a nice range of choices. I opted for a London fog with almond milk and sugar free vanilla syrup, and it was warm and lovely. The chairs we planted our butts on to catch up and chat for like an hour were super comfortable, and this just feels like a nice, comfortable, classy space: all open with soft lighting. It was a great place to step away from the crowded, loud, bright lights of the outside world. We will definitely be back.

And I'm not talking about the temperature. The warm greeting, the smile, the welcome. It's spacious and far from feeling cramped. A great space for solo work or if you just need a quiet moment. The worker was pausing in between my order to guide a newer worker on how to create a drink. The manner in how he guided him to making the drink was so calm and gentle.... out here exuding God's love!! I tried the banana bread latte, a plain coffee and I ordered my friend a watermelon mint refresher. We all loved our drinks. Thank you for being a quiet space in a busy world.

    Daughter wanted a bubble tea with popping bubbles rather than tapioca boba (the texture of the…read moretapioca just doesn't hit the spot for us) and this was the closest place that showed up as having non-tea options and popping pearls. We really liked how straightforward and easy to understand the menu was. Tea or no? Blended or over ice? Cream or plain? Then each section had all the flavor choices listed, so it was really easy for her to decide what she wanted. She opted for a strawberry cream, non tea over ice with green apple pearls (kids, right?!?!) and said it was amazing and delicious. She really loved how they seal them individually instead of putting a lid, which is also super helpful for avoiding spills. She also grabbed an order of fries and they were great, nice and crispy on the outside but still soft on the inside. They were hot as sin too, which was cool. I wish they had like a pump or squirt bottle of ketchup though, because the two packets of ketchup she gave us when we asked did not do the trick. I can't wait to try the banh mi and pho here, we were definitely fans of what we did try.

My coworker and I only wanted to snack. We ordered a banh mi and spring rolls. Coworker said the spring rolls were very good and crispy. The banh mi was loaded and authentically done. Flavor was on point. I personally like my bread a bit crispier on the outside but I did get it to-go to eat at the coffee shop a few minutes away from the food court. There were a few Vietnamese aunties eating BIG bowls of pho right when I was ordering. When I'm in the area again, I will definitely be back to try the com tam.

    Hadn't seen a baskin robbins in a long time. Im pregnant and was feeling a little under the weather…read moreand asked my fiancé to take me there to get an ice cream for a pick me up. We got to the window and originally asked for two scoops jamoca almond fudge and another chocolate cheesecake flavor but was told the second flavor was out. We then asked for strawberry cheesecake and was told that was out as well. After asking for two more alternative flavors we were told those were also out of stock. So my fiance asked politely and in a joking manner "what they did have?" The young lady hesitantly responded with a few of the flavors they had in stock. I wasnt interested in any of those so we just asked can we do a single scoop of the original flavor "jamoca almond fudge" she responded okay and told us to pull around. We got our items and pulled off across the street to pick up our dinner and as I was eating it I realized the flavor wasn't tasting anything like a coffee nor was the nuts almond but instead pecan, she had given me was one I was allergic to and thankfully I had access to my allergy medication. My fiance even tried it to make sure I wasn't going crazy. We then decided to come back and try to get the ice cream switched out, my fiance explained we were just there and explained I am pregnant and allergic to pecans and we hadn't ever asked for that flavor for that specific reason. She told us to pull around to replace the flavor. However upon getting to the window she acted clueless so my fiance reexplained the issue of me being allergic and pregnant she then showed zero remorse and actually caught an attitude with my fiance. She tried to say she " thought we asked for praline and caramel" my fiance stated he didn't even know that flavor and we both said we never once had even said that flavor. She also never listed that as one of the flavors in stock so regardless of my allergy I wouldn't have even known it was available. Nevertheless she responded after this with a nasty tone and her face matching her words, a look of irritation, she stated " well you can pick something else" as if we had done something wrong. We were very polite and respectful despite them making a mistake that could have potentially sent me into anaphylactic shock due to my allergy. So im not understanding what her reasoning for having a nasty attitude was she wasn't even apologetic and eventually she just never returned to the window, at this point I didn't even want the ice cream anymore the nastiness turned me off and I asked my fiance to get their attention so that I could just get a refund and her coworker came back and my fiance explained how the other young lady was nasty and did not seem remorseful about her mistake she then apologized and asked for my card to reissue my refund and asked if there was anything else they could do mind you this was after everything was said and done. And when told I was pregnant and allergic by my fiance her response was "yeah" like it was no big deal, so honestly I would not recommend this location if you have allergies or simply expect a pleasant customer service experience. It's sucks because I was excited to try baskin robbins after years but that definitely turned me of from the establishment...

That is outrageous. We should've gone to Dairy Queen across the street. Anyway, we got World Class Chocolate with caramel, whipped cream, & a cherry, and we also got Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough with hot fudge & a cherry. The ice cream was good, but the service could be better.
