Went in for a quick treat for a hard day's work. We were greeted with a great smile by the entire staff! I didn't get everyone's name but I remember grace, Marisa, and Evan. The shake was amazing, but you can never go wrong with the ice cream, they create such a great ambiance and a warm atmosphere that with the summer approaching we're definitely coming back often. read more

Came here to try out the new boo ice cream and it was pretty good! It's black all over and kinda tastes like cake batter pretty nice. Staff was super nice and friendly ice cream came out quick and delicious. Great area I love it here since there is a lot of food options as well as this really cool playground area that kids can play in. It's also surrounded by tables in a semi circle so parents can watch the kids and eat peacefully very nice here will be back again to this location. read more

Great ice cream. Service is a bit on the slower side although I'm never in much of a rush. Places to sit outside lots of options to choose from. One thing I did not like was simple each order I was placing I'm very clear in speaking not one but 3 different employees ask you if you want the big size right after you say the other size you want. I pointed it out the young man dismissed it. We had four separate orders shakes and ice cream. read more

Heading home from dinner and developed an out of nowhere sweet tooth. Cold Stone to the rescue...so I hoped. Traditionally I've stuck with the Cold Stone Creamery classics or maybe simple create your own. This day I was feeling fancy and ordered the cornbread blueberry jam. I thought it was a "unique" blend but I decided to go for it. Did not deliver at all. The cornbread was nice sweetened to any degree. Texturally, the cornbread and the ice cream did not marry well together and the entire dish was bland..bland bland. I was already home and stick with my ice cream choice. I will stick to the classics next time. read more

Stone Cold slow. Ice cream is great but waiting in a line of one person is painful add it feels like a longer line of many. Arden mall is way faster and it's the same thing. So, be prepared to wait.

Hubby and I are had a random sweet tooth, so we found ourselves here at Cold Stone Creamery. Welps, it was either this or Baskin Robbins, so Cold Stone Creamery clearly won that battle. If you haven't tried Cold Stone Creamery before, you are completely missing out. As soon as you walk in, you're immediately immersed in this sweet, heavenly smell. There are sooo many different combinations on the menu or you can create your own creation. There's a ton of toppings to choose from too. The ice cream served here is different; it's so creamy and smooth. My favorite flavors are cake batter and cookie dough (cookie dough lover for liiiife) with the graham cracker pie crust sprinkled on top. I would highly recommend this location for the customer service and cleanliness of the store. One particular team member which made my first time visit memorable at this location would have to be, Monte! Her positive attitude and warm-welcoming was very genuine. read more

Cold Stone Creamery has great ice cream with great service! Cold Stone Creamery is a well-known chain ice cream store. What makes them different than other ice cream shops is that they have their workers use a lot of manual labor to add mix-ins to your ice cream. They have a ton of mix-ins to choose from, including brownies, candies, cookies, and cereal, and have a good selection of ice cream flavors. If you can't decide on your own ice cream creation, they have pre-designed signature creations to choose from. They also have smoothies, shakes, and ice cream cakes. What also makes them unique is that the workers sing when you give them a tip. I came to this location on a Saturday afternoon and there was a long line out the door. It actually took quite awhile to get through the line. We ordered the coffee ice cream with brownie mix-in and the strawberry ice cream with strawberry mix-in. The worker that mixed our ice cream was enthusiastic and provided great customer. It looked like a lot of muscle went into the mixing of the ice cream. The cashier was also really friendly and helpful. There were a lot of workers that were working really hard and they all seemed to be very positive and in great spirits. Both flavors of ice cream were really delicious. We ordered the Gotta Have It Size for both to-go and ate them over a few days. The strawberry was soft and creamy and the coffee was really enjoyable with the brownie pieces mixed in. Other than the long wait, we had a really good experience at this Cold Stone Creamery location. read more

Sweet treats are good eats! We love cold stone creamery. It's our traditional go to for ice cream goodness. It makes it so much easier than having to bring home numerous different flavors of ice cream from the grocery store. Cold stone creamery is a fun way to create your own unique flavor and enjoy it. You jump in line and pick from anyone of their dozen plus flavors, and then let the games begin! You get to select a number of different add-ins, and the staff will take your ice cream selection and your candy, fruit, etc. add ins and mix it all together for you. Your creation is mixed right there on a cold stone slab. Hence the name. Each creation is just that... A true ice cream creation that you can have made to take care of any sweet tooth. They do have their own creations and you are more than welcome to order based on that as well. They are rather costly, but you are getting an experience along with your own mixed flavors. Parking is free and depending on the time of day/evening that you were there you may need to be a little bit patient to find a parking space. The lot is shared with a number of other eateries, which absolutely impacts the close to the door parking spots. But this is great Ice Cream and who is going to let finding a parking place prevent you from enjoying this goodness?! Ice Cream, you scream, we all scream for this great ice cream goodness. read more

I was in the shopping center and had a rare craving for ice cream. So I thought I would treat myself to Cold Stone. I rarely buy anything here because I think the prices are a a bit high for the end product. I visited on a rare occasion that the line was not out the door. But now my quandary begins... where does the darn line start?!? I just saw a bunch of people clustered in front of the ice cream display in the middle of the counter. To the left and right are cash registers and counter displays. There were 4 associates running around behind the counter helping the people in front of me. There are two black ropes with a gap in the middle. Well I found out you start the line at the middle of the gap, move up, and over. The fella helping me had to ask me to repeat my order twice because he broke into singing the tip song and didn't remember what I told him previously. Oh well. He was super friendly and had a great smile. If you tip them in cash and put it in the glass jar, they will sing the song. The ice cream was creamy, rich, and decadently delicious. Most chocolate varieties have no corn syrup, most other flavors do. Plus the syrups and majority of toppings have HFCS. All said and done, the small scoop with no mixins and upgrade waffle cone, totaled ~$5. It ain't cheap. Not really affordable for a family. It is a nice occasional treat. read more

I mean every single employee greets each customer. I thought that was pretty awesome! Vanessa helped me today and she was extremely friendly. Never have I ever tipped a cold stone before, I'm not sure why , but I felt extra obligated to leave a tip today because of how friendly everyone was.

Poor customer service and snooty kids who clearly aren't trained very well. Cannot stand how inconsistent their portions are. Try explaining to your kids why one of them has a bowl with half the amount as the other's. And when you complain, the little teenager shrugs. Even worse, the management couldn't care less. It's clearly a cost saving tactic. Ughhhh... Will avoid it as much as I possibly can. Gunther's (Franlkin Blvd) has much better ice cream and customer service anyway.

Their ice cream is delicious as always (cake batter all the way)! The service isn't terrible but ordering from the counter is so painful right now with the combination of social distancing, masks muffling everything being said and the ambient noise which sounds like a grade school cafeteria. Cold stone should strongly consider installing order kiosks for people to input orders more easily. Native English speakers don't realize how problematic communication is during COVID for non-native speakers. App ordering and kiosk ordering really alleviate this burden. read more

Over the years, Rick's remained a Sacramento staple, and when they opened up their new location in Midtown, the dessert community welcomed them back and embraced their sweet offerings, bigger space, and late night hours. I never went til just a couple weeks ago. Around 9pm on a Friday night I was craving banana cream pie and the husband wanted cherry pie. On Yelp search, Rick's came up as the top choice that was open. So we went and stood in the long line. The place was crowded and loud. Lively and busy vibe. Line moved at a good pace and the staff helping were nice but hurried. So we took our lil pies to go. We both liked our chosen pies. Now I know what to order if I go back to Rick's. Pies over cakes.

Waiting to be seated, I stood for about 5 minutes watching about 6 workers talk amongst themselves up front, no one saying to anyone "hey, there's someone waiting to be seated". I stopped someone in mid "haha" convo with another coworker to say "is it the type of seating I should seat myself?" He said: "oh um, you can grab a menu and I can seat you if you want" If I want? Yeah I guess I want (?????) I was checked on once. Mind you, only two seated tables besides me. I took a photo and blurred out faces, so it shows how empty it is and how many people are in the back having convos and neglecting customers. Close to closing time, they are probably cleaning up, but they are totally 100000% distracted by going home that it's like customers don't even exist inside anymore. They also forgot to include the marshmallow in my ice cream, but at least brought it on the side without me asking for it. But the ice cream and carmel syrup especially is good! If you have the patience for how you'll be treated, the food at least is a good treat.

The flavors have creative names and there were a few flavors that are allergy/diet sensitive, such as the vegan black cherry flavor. I had a matcha flavor during my 1st visit and was drawn to the latte flavor this time. Both flavors were on the mark, and my only regret both trips was not taking some more flavors to have on hand at home. The atmosphere is playful, with cute stickers available for purchase and a huge ice cream cone sculpture out front. Worth a trip, and it could easily be a short walk away if you have lunch or dinner at the neighboring restaurants/cafés, like I did yesterday in my quest to support local. Thanks!

My eye was first drawn to the churro, I haven't been able to have one in years, I was so excited. It was everything I ever wanted in a churro. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, and coated with cinnamon sugar. I could have polished off a dozen of them! The apple fritter was also on my must try list. I grew up loving apple fritters and since having to go GF, it is my most missed donut-adjacent treat. This one was smaller than a normal one, but that was fine because I could actually enjoy it without it being too big. Perfectly fluffy with apple pieces and spiced just right, it was delicious. The cruellers were nice and crispy on the outside and just sweet enough. Glazed with chocolate or regular icing, they are a perfect donut. I have recommended this spot to others that are GF, they need to experience the joy of a prefect GF donut!

Both tasted very good but slightly different without dairy. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the flavor and textures. My friend ended up with the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie which was also great. I love a crunch or different texture mixed in. She did mention that the Rocky Road tasted a bit off because of the lack of dairy and the texture was a bit unusual. The staff were polite and patient and the place didn't seem that crowded for a Thursday around dinner time. I suppose with Ginger Elizabeth's and Rick's Dessert Diner all on the same strip, there is a lot of competition for dessert places here. We were happy to try something new. Everything was fairly clean and there was plenty of bar seating as well as a few tables. I believe there were also tables outside.

Parking is a little bit hard to find, since you're mostly looking for street parking. Upon entering, the FroYo place had a nice interior that reminded me of a modern casual design with some contemporary elements that created a playful atmosphere. There were some high chair seatings to the right, and some lounge chairs to the left Unfortunately, by the time I came in, they were not allowing us to sample any of the 6 flavors which was a bummer (New York cheesecake, cappuccino, cable car chocolate, vanilla, pomegranate raspberry or euro tart). The flavors are pretty limited, so if you're looking for a place with a wider assortment of flavors, I might recommend somewhere else. However, the toppings bar was nicely stocked with a bunch of different things to choose from, which was one of its saving graces. Once you're done, you weigh your FroYo at the counter. I would've given a solid 4 stars to this place; however, while we were eating the FroYo, the man who was working decided to go into the back of his shop and listen to his shows rather loudly. I could hear the sounds from the shows over the music they were playing, so it made the ambiance a little awkward since I wasn't able to vibe to the music. Thus, creating a rather rambunctious atmosphere. Overall, I do think this place has some room for improvements, especially with their flavor profiles.

I've gotten manju from here throughout the years after my old review, but never returned for a snow cone until recently. I'm really not a fan of their shave ice - it's hard, not finely ground, and overly sweetened. Like everything, the manju prices have continued to increase over the years. I used to get manju fairly frequently, but now it just tends to be a more of a once a year treat. They are really the only actual manju place I know of in the area, and it's what I've grown up eating since I was a kid. They have a decent variety, and have ones they just make during Boy's Day and Girl's Day. The manju/mochi tastes as it should (soft/sweet).

We recently stopped by Cafe La Vies and ended up having such a fun experience…read more I ordered the banana matcha, which was absolutely delicious. The banana flavor paired surprisingly well with the matcha and made for a really refreshing drink. It was one of those drinks that I immediately knew I'd order again. But honestly, the highlight wasn't even the drink itself. It was the adorable little elephant vessel it came with. They put dry ice inside and then pour water into it, making it look like the elephant is blowing smoke out of its trunk. My daughter was completely mesmerized. Watching her reaction was worth the visit all by itself. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a gimmick. The drink was actually good, and the elephant made such a cute keepsake afterward. It felt like getting both a treat and a souvenir. The café itself had a fun atmosphere, and it was one of those places that felt a little different from your typical coffee or tea stop. Helpful tip: If it's your first visit, order one of the drinks served in the elephant. The presentation alone is worth it, especially if you're visiting with kids. Between the banana matcha and my daughter's excitement over the smoking elephant, this ended up being one of those unexpectedly memorable stops we'll be talking about for a while.

I was excited…read morebecause I've been seeing it advertised all over IG and then all the signs and what not in the store. I walk up to the counter and asked for the Mango Sticky Rice and the guy who helped me, idk what his name is had an attitude and was like we're out of it. I'm thinking to myself, sooo if you KNOW you're of something that's popular and on the menu, maybe you should put a sign somewhere stating that it's currently NOT AVAILABLE. Then I had to call back home to let my siblings know that the initial drink they wanted was not available, so they can choose something else and again the guy taking the order wad annoyed. My siblings decided upon the Mangonada with brown sugar boba and the iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha. Unfortunately, brown sugar boba was not available was all out for the day according to the cashier.. but no sign stating that they were sold out. I had to call my siblings again to let them know and ask if they wanted crystal boba as a replacement. To keep the order going while I was calling them, I asked for a mochi waffle and the guy threw his hands up annoyed and was like do you not want the boba for drink? I told the cashier I'll have the crystal boba instead of the brown sugar since it's currently unavailable, and the guy goes with an attitude... soo do you want the crystal boba? I said yess...yes I do. The Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha was alrightt. It is definitely not all that it is hyped up to be. The drink IMO was just a basic iced matcha with chocolate drizzle on the side of the cup and the pistachio foam that barely tasted like pistachio.

However, this visit was disappointing because of my interaction with one of the employees. While I was looking at the menu, he came over to help, and I asked a few questions about the salads because I wasn't sure what each one included. Instead of feeling helped, I felt rushed and talked down to. His tone came across as impatient and dismissive, and it made me feel uncomfortable asking simple questions. Everyone is unfamiliar with a menu at some point, and I left that interaction feeling like my questions were an inconvenience rather than something he was happy to help with. The food, on the other hand, was great. The ciabatta sandwich is one of my favorites and is always a reason I come back. The matcha is usually amazing as well. I love how creamy and smooth it normally is with oat milk, and it's honestly one of the best matchas I've had. This time, though, it tasted much grassier and more bitter than usual, which was a little disappointing. For dessert, I tried the strawberry mousse dessert with a chocolate shell and strawberry filling. The mousse and strawberry filling were delicious, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The only part I didn't enjoy was the outer chocolate shell, which was a little too bitter for my taste and overpowered some of the other flavors. Overall, the food was still very good, but the service left a negative impression. I enjoy Estelle's and will likely return, but I hope future visits involve friendlier and more welcoming customer service.

The ramen was surprisingly phenomenal, especially the roast pork, and the Spam musubi were huge. Overall, this is the kind of spot you go to when you're really hungry and want big portions, solid Hawaiian comfort food, and good service.

She was happy we finally made it after all it was our first visit. Yes can you believe it? After all these years??? I know it was worth the wait. We did order two mocktails: Pressed Linen for me & Pina Picante for my wife. We both enjoyed them. Finally we decided against bread but steak salad for me & lobster roll & side salad for the birthday lady. We were very happy with our choices. Our waitress Jessica brought dessert menu but we passed on it. She didn't let us leave quite yet until she brought out a complimentary birthday dessert sorbet with a lit candle.

We ordered the steak tartare to share which was excellent. It comes with an interesting bread you can break apart to carry the steak tartare which you mix with the egg yolk and herbs. The steak was fresh and clean. Highly recommend. For our main dishes, we ordered the fire roasted porchetta, tomahawk ribeye, and pan seared halibut. We also ordered the grilled broccoli as a side. The fire roasted porchetta was a little too dry and very salty. For $52, this was a disappointment. The roasted apricot does go well with the porchetta, providing a little balance. Not recommend. The 48 oz tomahawk steak for $165 was not the best steak I've had but was still good. The steak needs a better char on the outside but was tender. The steak overall was lukewarm and gave you the vibe of eating a prime rib instead of a steak. My guess is that it was prepared for awhile and resting in the kitchen for a little too long before it was brought out along with the other dishes. It was prepared medium rare which was what I requested. Can't say I am a fan of the carrot escabache that was served over the steak. Recommend. The best dish of the night was the pan seared halibut. It came out piping hot; the fish was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Highly recommend. Finally, the grilled broccoli was well seasoned and properly charred which gave it a nice smokey flavor. Ironically, the grilled broccoli had more of a char than the steak! But for $14, felt the portions were quite small. Recommend. After our steak tartare came out, it took another 20 minutes for one of the matte d to come to us to apologize and tell us that they forgot about our main and will take another 15 minutes or so. As a result, we probably waited a good 30 to 40 minutes before our entrees came out after appetizers. It would have been a nice touch if they comped us something like a shared dessert or something but they didn't really do anything about it. Overall, we liked the restaurant for its environment and atmosphere , but service and food were a little uneven, especially for the prices you pay.

From the very first visit, we were impressed. Our party of four ordered six different items, and honestly, every single one was delicious. We loved it so much that we returned another day for dinner and ended up ordering ten different items from the menu. Once again, everything was excellent. What stood out most was how flavorful everything tasted without feeling greasy, overly sweet, or too heavy. The ingredients in both the savory dishes and desserts complemented each other really well, and you could tell a lot of thought went into the flavors and presentation. The staff were consistently warm, friendly, and welcoming throughout all of our visits, which made the experience even better. On our final day in town, we had a group of 18 people after a sushi feast and decided to order a large variety of desserts from here. The only downside we experienced was that the online menu didn't fully match what was actually available in the store. Since our group coordinated orders remotely, about one-third of the items selected online were unavailable when we went to pick everything up, so we had to reorganize several orders at the last minute. Even with that small inconvenience, we absolutely loved this place and would happily return the next time we're in town.
