However, here was perfect at 70% sweet, less ice. We tried one with the soy pudding, a new topping. They were kind to let us sample it. it's really good I don't think we've seen us on the menu anywhere else in the US. We did not try the boba today, but will keep going and update! UPDATE: tried the brown sugar milk tea as well- super good and not too sweet at regular sweet level. Boba is good texture and flavor Their baked goods are delicious! Today got the shredded pork bun. My only wish is that you could order a plain milk tea without getting charged for a topping.

We went at 830 AM on a Saturday. We were in the area and were looking for a donut place. Please…read moreunderstand this is a very specific context. This is a commercial bakery that seems to have changed hands recently. This is not a place to just stop and grab fresh donuts. Food:1/5. There were not many donuts to choose from when we were there. The donuts were not fresh and were very stale and heavy. Service:4/5. The woman helping us took her time in putting things into the case and ended up giving our kiddo a free cookie. She was very kind. Ambiance:1/5. Again this is a commercial bakery and not a cafe where you can sit and enjoy pastries. This has zero bearing on what their catering business would do, so please don't take this as a review towards call ahead orders. I would have given a 1, but the woman helping us was so nice and kind.

Wanted to grab breakfast after dropping a car off for service at a nearby dealership. The space…read morelooks like a little rustic house. There are specials of the day and plenty of goodies on the menu. Both hubs and I got one of the specials when we stopped in. I had the hashbrown-crusted quiche which was broccoli and cheese and hubs had the tres leches french toast. I snagged a bite of his, and while it was good, was very sweet and a little messy. I did love the quiche though. I would definitely swing in again when I'm in the area.

Call me a soft serve snob because well, I am. It just hits different. Cup and cone? It just hits different. Rich, creamy, milky, grade A soft serve. I'm a basic vanilla guy however I've tried other flavors and their dole whip. All fire. You can also dip your soft serve. On a different occasion when it was too hot outside I did a cherry dip. Melted like crazy under the dip but still fire and I'd do it again. Haven't tried their food but it always smells good. Should you give any and all the above a shot? Absolutely. Drive across town at rush hour hating your life in traffic? Worth it. The location? Small lot, street parking options, the cutest little stand you could ask for with a few benches to the side. I love it. Spring and summer will eventually be here, do yourself a favor and go treat yourself at cup and cone.

Decided to try this place out because of them being voted the best ice cream in the country…read more.. Sadly I was a little disappointed. It was a little on the bland side. I wasn't amazed by the taste. Definitely not worth waiting in line for.... However, on the plus side. The portion for a large cup of twist ice cream was impressive and the amount of cookie dough toppings for $0.73 was great. I will give them credit for that. Price for what I got was a total of $5.09. Which is good price for the amount of ice cream I received. Overall I don't think they lived up to their hype. But if you want a big portion of decent ice cream for good price, give it a try. They do have outdoor seating and a small parking lot.

I was out exploring and found the Exquisite Cake Bakery. The decorated cakes were beautiful. I…read morewanted to buy one but I had no occasion to buy one for so I opted for a chocolate donut and apple turnover. Can't want to eat them for my breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I came back the next day and got a banh mi that was HUGE and delicious. The "House" is about ten bucks and that is a great deal for such a large, stuffed sandwich. They cut it in half and you can absolutely consider splitting it with someone or making two meals of it. Tons of Asian flavors on fresh-baked baguette bread. Absolutely outstanding. I brought home some treats from the pastry display, including an above average vanilla eclair and some macarons, one of which is super big! It's like hamburger sized, look at my picture. All of it really good. The service is very pleasant and upbeat, and it's a cute, homey space. I love this bakery!

Service: wonderful. I met the owner and she is SO SWEET…read more Ambiance: spacious and lots of seating Food: okay to pretty good There are so many desserts and pastries here! There are also Banh mis and Vietnamese coffee. I liked the almond croissant and the salted caramel Vietnamese coffee. They had great flavor and tasted fresh. The cream puff was decent and not too heavy, and the strawberry croissant was too sweet and heavy for me. The pandan dessert had really good pandan flavor, but the inside was a little too sweet and rich for me. I split it up into a few dessert meals. The owner was really nice and gave a free French bread, which I also liked. It wasn't too thick and it had a nice crisp to the outside. I would come back to try a couple other desserts and get the almond croissant again!

And can't help but feel I was over charged.
