The Dubai white chocolate was absolutely delicious and definitely worth trying. We also tried the…read moremango mousse, which was very tasty as well. However, the staff member at the sweets counter was a bit rude when I asked about the desserts, especially since there were no descriptions provided. The kanafeh also looked old and overly oily, as if it had been sitting out for a long time. Also, It was also a bit odd that, despite being a grocery store concept, they asked for a tip at checkout.

They serve Somali tea, coffee, and a variety of sweets and treats. Service was helpful at the counter, but not especially quick for food/drink service. They do crepes specifically, so we had to get one! It came rolled up which was delish, with cookie butter and Biscoff cookie topping. We got the Somali tea and coffee, and it was delish but quite sweet - I'll ask for less sugar next time. The star was the Nafaqo: hard boiled egg inside a seasoned potato patty - our first time trying it and so good! Hearty and filling.

Stopped here on a day off with my mom. It had been on my list for a while to check it out. They had…read morea pretty simple menu. The pastries and food looked good but we did not partake. I ordered a strawberry matcha which was good. They do use a thicker strawberry jam but I don't mind it personally. My mom got the Somali coffee and enjoyed it. Service was a bit slow, we waited a little over 15 minutes for our drinks. It's pretty cozy, there were a bit of people there working, meeting or just enjoying coffee. Parking in this area is interesting. If you can't find a street spot (which is likely) there a ramp across the street (about 1/2 block walk).

Many flavors, many toppings. Some standard favorites and some flavors you don't see every day. Live a little and try something new. And sorbet too. There are Mexican popsicles. They come in dozens of interesting flavors. Many with real fruit frozen right inside. These are both treats and works of art. You'll see. There are smoothies, shakes and other cold specialty drinks. Next time. The thing I will definitely try next time is the chocolate covered banana on a stick dipped in fruity pebbles. I suspect they dip the chocolate covered bananas in different toppings on different days. Surprise is good in life. We will be back again to try more on this sizable dessert menu.

It's kind of a mix between monkey bread and a muffin, soft, sticky, and packed with fresh blueberries and blackberries. So good. The blueberry almond croissant is also insane. Flaky, rich, and just done perfectly. Honestly, everything here is top tier. Their quiche is also very good if you're looking for something more savory. The staff is so friendly, and even when there's a line, it moves quickly which makes it easy to grab something without waiting too long. You can also pre-order on their website, which is a great option if you want to make sure you get what you're after. Some of the best pastries you'll find at the market.

Needed to start with the beef smash to get a baseline and will be returning to try the duck smash and probably everything else... and so should you.

The artwork came out exactly how we envisioned it, and we were so happy with how the cake looked. They recommended switching to buttercream because it would work better for the artwork, and I was a little hesitant because I normally don't like buttercream. This was honestly the first time I've actually enjoyed it! It wasn't overly thick or heavy, and it had just the right amount of sweetness. Communication throughout the process was great, and everyone was incredibly kind and accommodating. We were even running late for our pickup time after our flight, and they were completely understanding about it. The cake looked amazing, tasted great, and was exactly what we wanted. I'm so glad I found them while planning from out of state, and I would absolutely order from them again! (Please note, the cake was decorated by the bakery, but we added the Chainsaw Man art ourselves, after the fact.)

I noticed on a cold winter day, it's slower and no need to call ahead. No space to sit, grab your goodies and get going! The cardamom danish: nothing special but not bad. Wouldn't order again but it was just a random extra we added to our order! Tip: follow them on insta to see their special pastries and fun flavors in rotation- they don't last long!

I also appreciate that their prices are exactly as written--if it says $5, it comes out exactly $5. As an added bonus, the prices are reasonable compared to other similar ice cream/fast food places in the area. The fries were fresh and crispy, and the dream smash burger was incredible (albeit a little hard to eat due to its floppiness). The ice cream was decent; they didn't skip on the portion sizes.

The meat skirt was great on them. I also added bacon which was also incredibly tender. The cheese was really creamy and gooey too. I thought the patties could have used a touch more seasoning, but a minimal comment. They were meaty and delicious. The fries were battered fries, which I really like. And we're scaldingly hot out of the frier. They were really good. There is extremely limited inside seating...basically just a rail on the window. So in bad weather don't count on a spot inside. Plenty of benches outside and a patio though as long as the weather is good. The ice cream is also very good and competitively priced at $5 for a single scoop. Service is like a fast casual restaurant. They take your order and you pay and give your name and they bring it out to you.
