    Rum raisin ice cream is literally vanilla ice cream with raisins. NO RUM the ice cream doesn't taste bad it's just deceiving.

    Maybe not for Uber eats! I ordered 3 items 2 being the strawberry shortcake concrete. The other…read moreitem which was a 5 layer Gelato came closed and perfectly fine. The concrete came with an open top and gelato and stawberries spilled all over the bag. I called asking why the top were left open as this is obviously an Ubereats delivery order. I understand the blending tops are open but knowing it's a delivery order the blended tops should be proactively replaced with a closed top due to travel and the possibility that they may fall and being next to other food items also being delivered. The manager was not very open to problem solving. He wanted to give arbitrary reasons why this or that couldn't happen or why it did instead of a simple apology and committing to seeing this as a area of opportunity to improve. Unfortunately this place gets a 2 our of 5 as the other item came in perfect condition. 3 points taken off for being reactive instead of proactive and the oppositional attitude of the guy who answered the phone.

    I go here often enough and the customer service is amazing. They also have rewards and an app now…read moreso I recommend getting your points. Nice black-owned spot with variety of vegan options and it is clean. There's space to dine-in and they are open on Sundays. The energy is also open enough where strangers will have a convo while waiting. Coming from Brooklyn, I'm happy to have this spot so close to where I am now. Savory: My go-to is the chickpea tuna sandwich. I've tried it on a roll, long sub, and gluten-free... highly recommend the long sub. It's way too messy on the roll for me. Typically get it with the works. The potato salad is also very good most of the time (sometimes the potatoes are a little undercooked). I've also had the macaroni salad and the fried mushroom sandwich which are also good. I definitely enjoyed the thanksgiving special with stuffing (highly recommend that if they bring it back this year). Tip: if ordering a hero and you don't see yourself eating the entire thing in one sitting, I recommend requesting for the sandwich to not be cut so you can cut it evenly on your own For baked goods: the peach cobbler is good and it comes in a cute cup with a little spoon. I've also had the lemon cake & rum cake. Would order all 3 again. Would love to see donuts or cinnamon rolls (hopefully without cashews or walnuts due to my allergy). DRINKS: I haven't had a drink there that I would get again. The teas are overwhelmingly sweet; hibiscus punch was a lot like kool-aid to me. I also don't recommend the matcha if you are a matcha snob. Harper's Cafe is a great black-owned spot for a consistently good latte and they use quality matcha if you want quality nearby. Great spot with lots of options, especially if you're looking for a black-owned spot to support.

    The crispy crabby patty was everything and then some! The flavor and texture didn't skip a beat…read more Truly a 10/10 and something I would return for. And their desserts, so many great options. Service was great ! Whom helped me was very nice. And although I did take out , the ambiance was welcoming! Very nicely done. My first time and definitely not my last. Thank youuu How Delish !

    ***** WARNING!!! RACIST LOCATION ******…read more Never going back to this RACIST Carvel again! They told me with my pregnant wife next to me that because I'm white, they have to charge me more. The price tag on this cake as well as all others this size was clearly $12.99. The employee said we can't charge white people those prices. We have to charge them more. And unfortunately, my wife and I were the only white people in the store with Hispanics and blacks. I decided to make sure I lived to see another day and not say anything. I wanted a Carvel cake for my birthday. We usually go to the one in Nutley, but this one is 2 blocks from the house. We went in and picked out a cake. What looked like a black mother and son came in after us. Somehow they were helped by the black employee. No biggie, we were picking a cake. They were still undecided so she came to us. We gave her the cake. She asked what we wanted to write, Happy birthday Richard. She scribbled it on as you can see from the pictures. We asked for a few cups of crunchies, no problem. As she tallied it up, she asked to see the box, she saw the price of $12.99, oh no, you people can't pay tha price, you need to pay $20.99. I showed her the rest of the cakes, yeah no, you pay $20.99. We can't charge white people that price on the sticker, we need to charge you people more. As I said, my pregnant wife and I were the only white people in the store. So we tried pushing it a little, but the employee pushed back hard. And then we paid. She asked if we want a receipt, I said yes please. She said well you ain't getting one, because I don't know how to do it. The other employee came over and did it for her. I took it and left. We are never ever going here again. I hate how stores here are so racist against white people it's disgusting. We are people also! We deserve the same respect as everyone else. I know that right now Black Lives Matter, but here in Newark that means all others don't. Never coming back here again!

    How are they actually so good? We had reservations for 5 in a booth. We ordered a branzino, shrimp…read morescampi, a plate of waffles, chips and guac, steak frites, strip steak, and some refreshing iced teas. I had the strip steak and it was done perfectly. I gave away the bananas. The guac was very flavorful - a tad too sour but still very good. The side of broccoli was done perfectly with a bit of flavor and some crunch. The spinach however was maybe the best I've had. Not sure how they made it so good but wasn't simply with garlic. I had a piece of the branzino and thought it was also tasty with a nice fried crunch. The iced tea was perfectly caffeinated but maybe a tad small. It is supposedly unlimited but I didn't take advantage of that. The restrooms were also clean. I just wish they had some lounge chairs in there. Service was fast and diner style. Get what you need and get out of there. No one was rude, but no one was overly friendly. They all did their job and a 20% tip was automatically included. No concerns but thought it would be worth highlighting.

Plates are HUGE so come hungry. I've never gotten anything i didn't like - from breakfast to sandwiches to dinner. This most recent time i tried the spicy rigatoni with shrimp. The shrimp was perfectly grilled and the pasta was amazing. Might've been one of the best pasta sauces I've had in a while (i know, i was shocked too!). Perfectly al dente pasta with a hint of Calabrian chili and some delicious vodka sauce. Don't sleep on Tops!

    Came here on a Thursday night around 9pm after our show at the NJPAC and was surprised it was busy…read more They have 2 kiosk up front and they offer a variety of drinks, snacks and desserts. My friends and I ordered their toter tots, crispy chicken and chocolate bubble waffles with milk tea ice cream to share and I ordered their jasmine tea with cheese foam. Our order was ready a lot quicker than I had expected. The taiwanese crispy chicken was crispy, juicy and tender as they used chicken thighs for it. It was also well seasoned and tasted authentic. The tater tots were also perfectly fried as it was super crispy and they were sprinkled with the same seasoning as the chicken. The bubble waffle was the biggest surprise for me as I have never found a place that does it right (texture wise). This is the place! The waffle was crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside and the batter wasn't too floury as I have often found in other places. But that could also be because we ordered chocolate flavor so I should try their original next time. My only complaint is it didn't have enough chocolate taste for me. The milk tea ice cream, although wasn't the best I've had but it's decent and you can still taste the tea. My jasmine tea with cheese foam was fragrant and the cheese foam complimented the tea well and didn't make it overly filling. Overall, I really enjoyed everything I've ordered here and it's perfect for a mid day or late night snack and drink. I have been to other locations in the area and thought they're not as good as this one so I will have to come back to this location especially for their bubble waffles.

($9) it wasn't spicy enough (for spice lovers) but they were kind enough to add more we also tried the pineapple mango tea drink -- 30% sugar was more than enough because of the natural sugar !
