Prior to visiting this store I had no idea what Concept Sweet was selling. Was it an ice cream…read moreshop? Candy store? Retail? I guess you can say it's a combination of all of these, but if you look at the owners pictures, you weren't sure what you are walking into, because all his pictures are stock photos of what he is selling and you don't actually see the actual store inside and items sold. In a nutshell, Concept Sweet sells what ever the owner wants - ice cream, candy, sweets (some savory), and a variety of cute instagrammable merchandise . The description is very basic, but when you walk into the shop, you see there is much more than that! The ice cream can be served in many different ways. A variety of flavored scoops in a cup, scoop(s) on a cone, on a flavored cone, on a J cone, as ice cream nachos, as Dole whip, on a hot waffle, with or without toppings, with or without accessories, shaped like sushi, as spaghetti, shaped like pizza, etc. It's crazy, I know. They also sell ices, push pops, cake pops, Du's Donuts, chocolates, candies, cookies, cupcakes, and cute merchandise to make a parties more fun. I'm sure I missed something...just look at the Yelp pictures and you can see the 500+ pics the owner posted! There are the usual candies and chocolates you will find at many convenient stores. What's cool about Concept Sweet is that there are many unique sweets you won't find easily locally, such as Pocket Latte Chocolate bars, Pac man Arcade Candy, and Gumby Gummy candy. The owner has put so many unique sweets into this store! This includes the beverages (check out my pics). Another example are donuts from Du's Donuts in Brooklyn, NY., owned by the famous Wylie Dufresne. I actually came in looking to buy these! I purchased 4 Du's Donuts: the lemon matcha,coffee cake, chocolate caramel brownie, and blueberry crumble. I thought they tasted pretty good, but they are not that much better than a Duck Donuts or Broad Street Dough which are priced lower per specialty donut. While we were there, my daughter also ordered a plain scoop of pumpkin ice cream and she said she liked it. Despite the pricing of Du's Donuts, I like Concept Sweet and its er, concept. I didn''t really notice the price after purchasing, but I'm estimating over a couple bucks per - closer to three bucks. There are cheaper donuts but you'd have to drive further to get a specialty donut, especially Du's which is located in Williamburg, Brooklyn! I'm not sure when they get the donuts but they didn't taste stale at all. They even had Halloween donuts available. I'd like to see Concept sweets do well as it seems like the owner is really putting it all into his business. It's a fun store with many unique items. See for yourself!

I had been looking forward to trying Once Bitten Donuts after hearing great things, and while the…read moreexperience was enjoyable, it didn't completely live up to my expectations. The donuts were fresh and visually appealing, and I appreciated the creative flavors available. However, I found some of the flavors to be a bit sweeter than I personally prefer, and I wasn't blown away considering the price point. It was definitely one of those spots that was more focused on the instagram picture over the taste of the product itself. That being said my nieces and nephews loved the sesame street options! That being said, the staff was friendly and the shop has a fun, welcoming atmosphere. I can definitely see why others enjoy it, but for me it landed more in the "good, not great" category.

I've been here a few times before and really enjoyed it, but this recent visit didn't match my…read moreprevious experiences. I purchased two buns. The Cookie Monster and Strawberry Cheesecake rolls. Both were melted by the time I got home. :( The quality this time felt different overall, and everything seemed noticeably sweeter than I remember from past visits. Also, I noticed a difference between the sample and what I received. The Strawberry Cheesecake sample on display had a visible strawberry (or at least a larger piece), but the actual roll I got only had a few very small bits, which felt a bit misleading. By the second day, the roll was already hard, which was disappointing in terms of freshness. I'm not sure if it was just an off batch, but based on this experience, I'm not sure it's worth the travel for me going forward.

My first experience at the Brownstone Pancake Factory was with my daughter and grandbabies, who…read morehave been several times before. Walking in felt like going to a carnival--bright, lively, and full of energy. I initially expected a simple diner, but I quickly realized it's much more; there are so many menu options that it was actually a bit overwhelming in the best way. My daughter ordered an iced vanilla latte along with a California omelette, which came with breakfast potatoes. I had a regular coffee and a croissant sandwich with bacon, ham, and cheese. They also have a great kids' menu. My granddaughter had a blueberry pancake with scrambled eggs on the side, and she absolutely loved it. The service was fantastic--our server was very attentive throughout our visit. The ambiance was also perfect for a mid-Friday morning: lively but still comfortable. Overall, a great first visit, and I can see why my daughter enjoys coming here so often.

Fast moving place to say the least. Gets crowded quickly on special event days like Mothers Day…read more We waited for nearly 90 mins. Not my choice to wait. I don't wait for food. Definitely not 90 mins.. My daughter just had to have Brownstone. The worst part of the wait was their system. They do not notify you by text or restaurant pager. They come to the door and yell out a name. If you miss hearing your name or they mispronounced your name, they pass you by. That's crazy considering the amount of names they get and the house doesn't pronounce it correctly The food: All of our order was VERY good. Only complaint. My skirt steak was cooked well, not medium well. But it was not over cooked. Was still tender and delicious. If you can't tell by all the photos. We took a lot of food home. The waitress was really attentive. But it looked like all the staff was attentive. Not over bearing at all. Super busy place. And they only take 1st come, 1st call. But make a waiting list as it gets crowded. The seating was a little tight. And that was throughout the place. Nice menu selections. So we'll be back to try few other items. Clean restrooms which are a plus for me. DEFINITELY would recommend this place.

They have a nice photo op wall, everything looked very clean, and everything also looked delicious. We got 6 donuts: Milk Pebble, 2 Strawberry Funnel, Oreo, Reese's and Nutella. I can only review the 'Strawberry Funnel' because that's what I actually ate so far. It was delicious. It was moist, soft, and had great flavor. It tasted exactly like a funnel cake. I also got a Guava bubble tea. The bubble tea was $5.99 which is a good price for bubble tea but it's in a much skinnier container than I am use to for that price and it was good but definitely not the best I've ever had. My husband and I also tried the Korean hot dogs here. We both got the half and half one - half hot dog, half mozzarella and I could live on these! SOOOO good! The service was fairly quick and very friendly. I will 100% be back and would recommend.
