Information overload...are you ready?…read more Before our IVF transfer, which was a HUGE moment for us, at CCRM just across the way, we stopped into Rustica Bakery. We only had a few minutes to spare and thought, why not, let's treat ourselves. Best decision. The banana bread was hands down the best I've EVER had. I'm not exaggerating when I say I now feel like I need this in my life at least once a week....which is slightly dangerous. The space itself was busy, but there was still plenty of seating, and so many pastries and drinks to choose from. We had someone meeting us who was a little worried about parking, but there's a separate entrance (away from the mall) and plenty of spots, which makes it super easy. I'll be honest, the service didn't wow me, but the quality of the food more than made up for it, so it's still a five star experience in my book. Just something to know going in. Such a simple stop, and one we won't forget. It was the perfect moment before a really big one for us.

Decided to come here on a date night after dinner and this place was delightful!…read more There is a large free parking ramp next to this place! If you walk from the parking ramp, down to Bellecour Cafe and look straight across the street, you will see this place! The vibes in here are honestly lacking and the only reason I dropped a star. There is very little seating, so expect to take your ice cream to go. In the summer, that's not a problem as there is ample seating outside! But during the cooler months, there is only one table and a couple of small benches. Everything here is also white and with a name like "sweet science" I was expecting more "science stuff" The staff here was absolutely lovely!! Very polite and super friendly! You are allowed to try samples and these gals seemed to be having fun with their job! Down to business: The ice cream was DELICIOUS! I am lactose intolerant, so having some vegan (dairy free) options was great! It looks like they use cashew milk for most of those bases. I hate cashews but this didn't taste like cashews at all! I got the vanilla chocolate chip and it was creamy, perfect vanilla and the chocolate chips added a very nice texture! Would highly recommend!! My boyfriend got a mint ice cream with cookie dough pieces and a marshmallow fluff that they torched! Very good! He was extremely impressed! I would absolutely recommend this place!

A quick walk over to this small shop. The space isn't necessarily for hanging out, but it's clean and modern. Perfect to grab and go for a stroll around the 50th and France shoppes. The staff was incredibly friendly and positive, when when we showed up right before closing. The ice cream was perfect! Creamy and dreamy, not icy at all! I had their Coffee and Cookie flavor, which had a strong, pleasantly bitter coffee taste, balanced perfectly with cream and cookie bits. A lovely scoop for sure!

The place was empty. Eventually an employee came out. No greeting or anything just stood there until we ordered. I almost always get cake batter w/ Kit Kat mixed in. One thing I've always liked about Cold Stone is that the ice cream is thicker and doesn't melt so fast but not sure if the utensils they used were warm or what but my ice cream was a bit soft & pretty melted by time all 3 orders were made & we paid. It was good otherwise. Place was fairly clean. They have 2-3 tables to dine in. Parking is easy, as it's in a strip mall as well as shared larger parking lot.

This review is for this location only. In general, Cheesecake Factory has never steered me wrong…read more Yes, they are a chain, but one of the better one's in my opinion. I had planned to come here to celebrate my birthday, since my birthday fell on a Friday, I made reservations. We arrived on time and was seated within a few minutes. Per usual, when dining at The Cheesecake Factory, they provide the table with a breadbasket with their signature brown bread and sourdough, both delicious and free refills. Their bread is baked fresh and always served warm. We ordered the Fried Calamari as our appetizer. It was fried perfectly and most importantly the calamari wasn't overcooked. It was served with cocktail sauce and some kind of garlic aioli. The aioli was my favorite of the two sauces, but the cocktail sauce was a nice acidic component that cut though fried delicious greasiness. As for our mains, we ordered the French Dip Burger and the Louisiana Chicken Pasta. The burger was very tasty, it had a hint of that flame grilled flavor in the background, however, the au jus that it came with was a little too salty. The fries were fried to a perfect golden brown, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The Louisiana Chicken Pasta was also very good (I ordered it without peppers). To my surprise, despite how thin the breaded white meat chicken was, it was not dry at all, and still moist and well-seasoned. The pasta was not overcooked, but it could have been a little more al dente in my opinion. The New Orleans sauce on the pasta was rich and buttery with just the right amount of kick from the spices. I can see why this is one of their most popular pasta dishes. Since it was my birthday and I was signed up for The Cheesecake Factory rewards program, I was eligible to receive a free cheesecake of my choice. I picked the Fresh Strawberry cheesecake (the original cheesecake topped with glazed fresh strawberries). Of course, true to their namesake, the cheesecake was delicious as always and the strawberries added a refreshing touch. Our server was friendly and efficient. This location is located in a mall, so they do have their own parking lot, so parking was convenient. Food is always consistent and our overall experience was great. We would gladly go back again.

I think the food was prepared okay, ordered few dishes but this spinach cheese dip stood out as extremely oily. You can see the oil pool out. The service was pretty good, server frequency check in with us. Restroom was clean and has changing table. The restaurant offers kids menu and provide high chairs Overall the food was just okay, it is a chain and I don't recall there was a change in menu. Cheesecake still pretty good. But I might not be back for another few years because the food was nothing special.

The space feels elevated and really well designed. Parking is a little limited in the lot, but there are additional options across the street which helps. Our server Baye took amazing care of us and gave great recommendations. Service overall was really strong and made the experience even better. The menu is impressive with a wide variety of flavorful options, and I really appreciated that they clearly label gluten free items. Such a great touch. They have classic brunch options but also some great savory, sweet, and worldly flavored options.

We got a cup of ice cream. He got Cappuccino Break, and I got strawberry. Strawberry is my favorite ice cream flavor. If you like coffee and chocolate, then you'd enjoy the CB. My friend really enjoyed it. It was too chocolatey for me. I do not like chocolate, so it stands to reason why I'd not love it. The strawberry ice cream made me think of when we'd make ice cream at home when we were children. It was hard work, yet always worth it. There was a great balance of strawberries to creaminess. The service was quick and friendly, and I'm glad that we stopped by. Will probably go again on Saturday, as we'll be back in the area. My son loved their Superman ice cream, so we'll see if he still wants to eat is all these years later. If you're in the area, stop by. You, your taste buds, and your tummy, will be glad that you did.

I would recommend the matcha. They are usually really busy so they aren't too friendly but they keep things moving. They do take the time to wrap up your pastries for you. I usually just grab my stuff to go since seating is limited when it's busy. It's a great spot to stop in for a sweet treat or quick snack throughout the day.

The selection is large, and they are contantly replenishing the shelves with fresh-baked goods. A lot of those are on the pricey side, which might contribute to a bougie reputation for this chain. But the items on the drink menu are much more reasonable. I had a matcha lemonade that was just okay; I don't think I'd order it again because you can't really mix it the way they serve it to you. But they have a whole bunch of interesting coffee and tea options. I also had a hot item that was pretty good. They have a heater that looks like something from a convenience store, and there are hot offerings in there like the flatbread-esque thing I had. It did actually taste quite good, but I think if they are serious about hot items they could manage a better presentation. There are compelling selections in that little box. The pastries I bought were absolutely delicious. Again kind of pricey, but the quality is immediately noticeable and I will 100% be back for some of those things. And I'll probably try some coffees & teas in the future.
