    Philly Steak Fries- I requested no mushrooms which was NO problem, the beef was seasoned perfectly. So messy but worth it!

    Food was made fresh to order. The service was fast and friendly. The ambience could use an update but I'll definitely be visiting again! Everything was amazing!

    This place legit surprised me in the best possible way. We walked in and were immediately greeted and offered free samples of their house made cheesecake (delicious, btw). We ordered and got our food within like 5 minutes, which was awesome because it is made to order. Price was very reasonable too. Solid. Food. I got the Philly cheesesteak deluxe sandwich with provolone cheese (comes with green peppers, onions, mushrooms). The meat was perfectly seasoned and felt like an actual cheesesteak. Bun was lightly toasted as well. My boyfriend got the buffalo chicken sub and it was also very good. The fries are made to order so they came out super hot, which is a major bonus. I would absolutely come back and tell a friend- nice place to get a cheap meal not in a super busy location.

    A ton of food for the price. They greet you with, "Would you like a cheesecake sample?" as soon as you walk into the door.

    Your garlic mayo is good but try just garlic powder instead of garlic salt it was just a bit salty and I love my salt shaker.

You will also notice that they love kids here. There are small mini picnic tables with umbrellas for the little ones. They also have a flat screen playing kids cartoons in Spanish. My little one was enjoying Kung Fu Panda 2, while eating an ice cream cone. Prices are very reasonable. You can get a single scoop in a bowl or sugar cone for only a $1.50. What a deal! They also have a ton of flavors to choose from. You can also ask for a flavor to sample first before making your purchase. If you're not into ice cream they also have some gelato and sorbet selections too. I saw a snow cone machine but it wasn't up and running. After much deliberation my little one went with a scoop of cookies and cream on a sugar cone. I had a little bite and it was really good. We also met Elisabeth and she was very nice to us. She fielded all of our questions and answered them with a smile. She told us that they had been open for about a month. I noticed they had some churros warming and Elisabeth showed us an amazing photo of a desert they could make with churros, ice cream & fresh fruit. We will have to save that for another day because we had an amazing big lunch next door at Papa Marcos. I did notice various hot sauces on the counter and a nacho cheese machine. I did not have the heart to ask Elisabeth anymore questions but I did see some deep fired pork rinds, so I'm assuming it is for that. I knew it wouldn't go good on ice cream. I also saw a sign advertising shakes ($3), smoothies ($4) and malts ($5). Again we will have to save this for another visit. So if you are in the area and looking for some ice cream from a great colorful small business then I recommend you pop in here. If you have kids they will love the kids size tables to enjoy there ice cream treats.

I've eaten their burgers and various items here during the summer for a quick bite and it's traditional drive in food. But what makes them stand out is their soft serve. They offer a variety of sizes. I got a small dipped and my husband got a large. Mind you they also have an extra large too, haha. But the small was the perfect size for me, I finished my cone and was super full. We asked for a cup for his cone and we were able to fill it and still have a full cone to enjoy. The ice cream is soft and delicious, the option to be able to dip it makes it a super fun treat as well. Can't recommend Shirl's enough!

However, the fries tasted like they were cooked in old fish grease and have the consistency like they'd been sitting at room temperature before they were salted and sent. The mint malt was missing the extra malt on top THAT I WAS CHARGED FOR, but was tasty and satisfying despite being somewhat melted. Interesting bit of carelessness on their part: someone's two-day-old Old National bank receipt was in the bag as well. The malt warrants 4 stars, but the issues (fries in particular) knock this down to two. It's on me for not reading Yelp reviews before ordering. Won't happen again.

Thankfully, it was only 10 minutes away, so my mom and I hopped in the car to try it out. Drip and Culture is located in the back of Supermercado Gonzalez. It's not rare for Mexican grocery stores in the area to sell hot food in the back of the store, but it was very unique to find this super cute, black-owned coffee shop located right in the back. After looking over the menu, I decided on the Ube Matcha and my mom chose the Banana Rum Caramel Latte! Both drinks were a 10/10!!! My drink had an Ube horchata base, which tasted like the perfect mix of vanilla and cinnamon. It was absolutely amazing and paired perfectly with the matcha!!! My mom thoroughly enjoyed her latte as well! Next time I'm in town, Drip and Culture will be my first stop. The shop has a 90s theme with jerseys on the wall and VHS tapes, which gives such a nostalgic vibe. I can't wait to return!!!

Not only is the coffee delicious, but you can also grab tacos and relax with a seat while you enjoy your meal. The service is always welcoming, and it really is a great family owned business. One thing I love is that the menu is constantly evolving with new featured drinks, giving you something different to try each visit. So far, it has never disappointed. If you're looking to support local and enjoy great coffee, Drip & Culture is absolutely worth a stop!
