What a disappointment it turned out to be..I doubt this place will last the summer. The concept is cute, but the execution is a sloppy, strangely toxic little operation run by a high-strung pick me owner and her rotating crew of indifferent young workers. I waited more than twenty minutes for two simple orders, only for them to come out half-wrong: incorrect flavors, missing toppings, and sloppy scoops thrown together carelessly. When I gently pointed out the flavor mistake, the owner's response wasn't to fix it but to get immediately defensive and nasty. Zero grace, zero accountability. just brittle attitude instead of basic service. I didn't say another word and just left. I ended up throwing out the order that was wrong because of allergies. There was a gross atmosphere among the staff. You could almost hear the echo of high school hallways. A favored circle lounged around exchanging smirks, whispered barbs about customers, and idle gossip, while the few conscientious ones scrambled to pick up the slack. The owner's selective blindness was obvious. It created a clear undercurrent of favoritism, pettiness, and low key bullying that made the whole place feel cliquey and mean spirited. A business that prioritizes goofing off to fit in with teens, over consistent quality and basic courtesy isn't built to last. Between the long waits, constant errors, and thoroughly unpleasant energy, I won't be returning. and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. For the few kids hustling, I hope you find a better gig. You deserve respect. If you value professionalism, competence, and a warm welcome, take your money elsewhere. For all its aspirations, this spot is a disaster and not worth the wait.

Located in Schererville, Indiana, it's in a convenient area surrounded by plenty of shopping and other restaurants, with easy parking. The menu offers a wide variety beyond ramen -- boba teas, specialty drinks, plus ice cream and shakes -- which makes it easy for everyone to find something they'll like. I ordered the spicy fried chicken ramen, and it definitely delivered. The spice level was just right -- flavorful with a good kick but not overwhelming. Portions were generous and reasonably priced. Service was quick and friendly. I tried the honey lemon tea. It was refreshing, but next time I'd probably go with peach or mango for more flavor. As for my dad?

It's just done so very well. The customer service. Impeccable. So friendly. So kind. Each one of them. The spot is CLEAN. And there is a lot for parking. I love this place.

What a fun date night pop-in!…read more We finally made a trip to this establishment that opened (this location) in 2024. Cobbler! Yay! Cornelius (the owner of a marriage team) was a wonderful pleasure to meet. It felt like family walking through the doors. Inclusive, kind, knowledgeable, patient, and he endured my colorful rambling. Lol Options, Options, Options! I have never been to an establishment that had so many dessert options! Whatever you are craving in the realm of cobbler/cheesecake/banana pudding combos, you can experience it here! Wait! There's more! Cookies Brownies Cinnamon rolls... *screaming* YOU HAVE OPTIONS MY FRIENDS! So much so, you HAVE to come back. And sorry to spoil it so early (we will!). What we ordered: Cheesecake with sweet potato pie topping, and a regular peach cobbler. Banana Pudding with cherries, and Peach Cobbler with caramel pralines. My review on what we selected: I REALLY enjoyed the peach cobbler with caramel pralines. I was so happy in my mouth! Note: none of the banana pudding has bananas, just the pudding flavor. The banana pudding with cherries did catch me by surprise. Im a bananas gal! I wanted, I needed the bananas! But I will be honest and say the cherries made it fun, as they were plentiful. Only con, definitely needed more cookies. Please, cookie me. Outside of that-yummers. I found the peach cobbler to be a very safe option. Nothing bad to speak of it. I would get it again. The Cheesecake with Sweet Potato Pie, was not bad. It just didn't make my mouth sing like the others. I believe I was looking for a firm baked Cheesecake experience, and it was more of a "Cheesecake fluff". It wasn't bad. It was just a different experience. The texture of the pie pieces were under cooked(potatoes werent hard, but were not very soft either) and the fluff with whipped cream, though it was not bad at all.. it was just not for me. I/we, ate every morsel of our purchase. Cobbler (options of toppings) Cheesecake(options of toppings) Banana Pudding (options of toppings) Milk shakes (options of toppings) Churros....there may be toppings for these too! Lol And there is sooooo much more. I can't type it all! So, that means you have to go and check them out! You can get your cobbler warmed up or not. And all cobbler selections come with ice cream. Yay for ice cream! They have catering options available. I am now trying to think of a gathering to host just to have cobbler for dessert. Ha! This place is like a museum of cobbler/banana pudding/milk shake/dessert splendor! You have to give them a try! Cornelius sir, we will return, and with friends/family in tow. Too many flavor combos,too many options, too many mouthwatering adventures to be had for just one trip! Thank you for your patience, your hospitality and fun banter. We will see you soon. And as always, you don't have to take my word for it, go get you some!
