    Good variety of flavors, clean establishment, some small tables for you to enjoy. The flavors change but not sure how often. Discounted pints and servings if you buy from the fridge. And friendly service. Really enjoying this place!

    I'm thrilled to have a gelato place in town! We happen to stop by after lunch in the same shopping center and decided to have a little dessert. The gelato was soooo good!Lots of flavors to choose from. Not only do they serve gelato but it is also a cafe where you can order sweet and savory crepes and coffee. You can also order a gelato cake! There is bar and table seating. Service is friendly and efficient. Bright interior. Highly recommend!

    Went to Cheeks & Bean for the first time after seeing them up on Instagram. Well it was totally worth it! The young ladies working in the store were so polite & friendly. They allowed us to try as many flavors as we wanted. We ended up getting the Dubai chocolate & vanilla bean gelato and they were amazing, creamy and so much flavor! Even the vanilla which can sometimes be bland was peppered with vanilla bean seeds and there was so much taste. The shop is cute with a few tables to sit. The portions were generous and the lids almost didn't fit on the containers. They also have a coffee bar and offer crepes & waffles and diffrent cone options. We'll absolutely be going back there again!

You can genuinely taste the quality and care in every bite. It's the kind of place where you stop in for one item and leave wanting to try everything in the case. Just as impressive as the pastries is the staff. Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They're patient, helpful with recommendations, and always make you feel appreciated as a customer. Great food paired with great service is a winning combination, and this bakery delivers on both every single time.

I don't believe they have a milk bar where you add it yourself so usually they do it for you.. usually it's acceptable but the last time I visited, the barista barely added any milk and I had to go back and forth to try to adjust it with her blah. Anyway, I'm really here to RAVE about the spinach pastry that is out of this world. Anytime I'm in the area I either get one for that morning or save it for the next morning- perfectly crispy and yummy interior; I pretend it's healthy because of the spinach. My daughter also loves the muffins and cookies here and especiallyyyy the TV screen that has a slideshow of their different custom cakes. I always want to inquire about them but I assume they are pricey. We got just a slice of the rainbow cake and something oreo related but just thought they were okay too. Just reiterating that the spinach pastry is AMAAZZZZING and everyone should go try it. Also love the coziness of this cute cafe. The end :)

While…read moremostly a take-out spot, I had called and asked if they were able to accommodate a dine-in party of 10, which they said would not be an issue. They also let me know that there was no customer restroom, so FYI if that's a deal breaker for you. The space is casual and cozy. When we arrived our table was waiting for us. Service was friendly, but they may still be getting the hang of it, but we had no issues. They serve some good, bold coffee in many forms; cafe con leche, lattes, cortado, etc. From the moment I saw the brunch menu, I knew I wanted the eggs benedict wich is served with chorizo over a tamale, topped with hollandaise. Served with some crispy spiced potatoes and a lovely salad. The dish was delicious, the eggs were poached well and I loved every bit of it. Gio's Columbian Egg Sandwich was also excellent, also served with the same potatoes and salad. Everyone enjoyed their plates which also included pancakes, Steak & Eggs and Carne Asada. We also ordered some empanadas to bring home and they were so good. They offer both flour and corn versions and they really hit the spot later that day.

Even forgot to get my the drink I ordered, so I had to get it removed from the bill. As far as empanadas go, these are run of the mill. If you ever ate empanadas from a Colombian place in Queens, these are the same. Parking is almost non existent, let's home there is good foot traffic in the warmer months. As far as Ambiance, it's lovely. It feels a bit like your Tias living room, if you're from Latin America. I would go back again, but more than like will go ahead for pick up.

Delicious hand rolled soft bagels. I got an everything bagel sliced and it was superb. Fresh, really tight bagel which was definitely more substantial than what I get elsewhere with the perfect crispy just right crust and a nice chewy interior. The dried garlic and onion, salt, poppy and sesame seeds on top were just the right amount. This was a fantastic bagel. Did not need toasting. The egg salad was dynamite. It had the correct amount of mayonnaise and no egg smell yet tender, soft and creamy chunks in the egg salad. This was a nice change from the usual omelette or scrambled eggs Sammy. The staff is really cool. Young kids who are quick, alert, polite and thankful. The team here was very thorough and precise and repeated my order back to me to ensure accuracy. There was a line of 5 before me and it moved rapidly. There are only 6 seats inside ( 3 small tables) and a high chair for babies. They have a cute display with candy chips, cookies and Nutella packets. The cream cheese and salad cooler looked fantastic and very appetizing. The one thing that struck me immediately was how clean and organized everything was. Very warm and inviting. $1.50 each for the bagel is a very good price. I loved Bagels Santa Fe. I will definitely be back to try everything else.

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by friendly faces, which sets a warm and welcoming tone. It's a straightforward kind of place, order to go or, if there's a few available seat, enjoy your food right there. The shop is cozy, with just three small tables, each with a couple of chairs. Despite the size, they have a great selection of bagels, various types of butter, cream cheeses, and other spreads. Prices are very reasonable. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an onion bagel with a medium coffee, and it was just $8. The big open windows at the front make it a comfortable spot to soak up some sunshine, especially on a cold winter day like today. The little shop is kept very clean, and organized which is a huge plus for me! I definitely appreciate that. They also have fresh brewed coffee with a variety of flavored creamers. I love these little spots where you can grab something to eat and enjoy a quiet moment alone. I'll definitely be stopping back in before heading to the airport to pick up some bagels to take home to Florida!

Something about coffee cooked for a long period of time actually gives it that "rich smooth taste". I ordered their raspberry cheese cake. It was actually delicious but the portion was a bit smaller than what I was expecting. Atmosphere inside comfortable and active with new patrons walking in. I opted to sit outside which made me feel like I was in NYC at a ritzy Cafe next to Central Park. It was quieter and relaxing. *Parking lot is Huge and shared with other stores. Use exit number 3 for a traffic light to cross over Wantauh Avenue. *Bathrooms; are two and both co-ed. *Final thoughts Pardon my "FRENCH" but the French Workshop was just ok for me. They didnt have scoopable ice-cream on hand which would have been nice next to my cake and their coffee wasn't on par in regards to a "RICH BOLD TASTE". No free coffee refills, no porcelain cup, and no silverware. The only metal your going to get is the steel tray your desert comes on. Perhaps something to consider ? *The Review Guru Long Island NY

I don't expect…read moreplaces like this in my hometown, so I was happy surprised when I was looking for a place to meet a colleague that was close to my father's house. And they have a few vegan options! Don't expect macarons nor tarts, but that blueberry croissant I had was so delicious. It was more of a whole grain pastry than a traditional buttery croissant but because the blueberry filling was so sweet, I was happy for a less decadent pastry. I love that they have a nice array of coffee and matcha drinks too. I'm pretty sure the word has been out for some time now, but when that Starbucks line in the parking lot is just too much, The French Workshop is a better option (however, on a rainy Saturday in May, that line inside was considerable. People know what's good!) There's plenty of seating, too and if you are good at pretending, you almost feel you're in Europe (ignore the suburban strip mall that surrounds you).

I ordered the GF bagel back in July and was vomiting within 1 hour of eating it. I couldn't fully confirm that the bagel was the issue that day - until now. I had gone into the bagel shop a few weeks ago and was curious about their preparation for the GF bagels. I asked the person working , i even told her that I have celiac. She told me the bagels are fully gluten free and cooked separately than the other bagels. I also noticed that they were kept in a basket with a lining on the shelves. This past weekend I decided to try the GF bagel again after last eating it in July - unfortunately for the second time, i was vomiting within an hour of eating the bagel. I am writing this review 2 days later, still experiencing serious side effects of ingesting gluten. I don't understand what the point is for the store to sell a GF bagel for the GF community if it's not even gluten free. Or why a staff member would ensure the safety of the bagel, likely knowing that the bagel is not safe. This is very careless and irresponsible. *if you eat GF for medical purposes, do NOT get the GF bagels at Doz Bagels*
