We ate a late lunch today and weren't wanting dinner really. So we decided to go out for dessert…read moreinstead. We tried Shock Gelato for the first time and it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was very nice. I held the door for a group of lady customers as I was entering and they were exiting. I heard them say, "I love this place." A group of young people that came in behind me shortly after were speaking amongst themselves while we were waiting to be served. They were also taking about how much they love this place and how they were here at the Grand Opening or first day open. I knew I had made a good choice. Kenny and Olivia were the servers and they did an excellent job taking care of the guests. The place was busier than I imagined a frozen dessert style restaurant would be on a late Sunday evening. Regardless everyone was served swiftly but with attention to detail. We had a group of seven and at least three groups of 5 or more came in behind us. I didn't see one customer that was dissatisfied whatsoever. There are so many flavors in the showcase. I wanted to try them all!!! I understand that they rotate the flavors too so perhaps next time will be a totally different experience. I can't wait to come back and try some more. They do allow you to sample multiple flavors. I tried 3-4 before just placing my order. I don't think that it's possible to pick a bad flavor. I ordered the largest size so that I could get three flavors. All three were splendid. I'm already excited for my next visit.

The gentleman working was one of the friendliest people I have ever encountered. He took real pride in their product, and his good energy was contagious. In addition to gelato, they offer sorbets, coffee drinks, and a small selection of South American style dessert items. Street parking only. Pay those meters - they ticket in Birmingham.

I tried three of the viral fruit shaped desserts, it was $45, ugh. The mango was the best, with real chunks of fruit, layered on top of a cake like bottom with mango filling and a thin layer of chocolate encapsulating the dessert. The lemon and strawberry were the same respectively, but with no fruit inside. They were all pretty, and I wanted to love these but, it was just ok for me and I probably wouldn't get them again. Also, I cannot understand why they are so expensive, possibly hard to make or the ingredients, either way, sadly, I would not rush back.

There will likely be a line down the sidewalk. It does move along pretty quickly. They have all of your traditional flavors (ie mint chip) and lots of fun ones too (ie. Salted caramel mocha chip). The special seasonal flavors seem to sell out earlier. They also have MLB baseball cap sundaes, for us baseball fans.

This ice cream parlor brings back all of the feels from growing up and going for ice cream. They also now carry retro candy, frozen yogurt, and so much more... On my recent visit, I called my dad when I landed DTW and I asked him if he had any special requests that I could bring him in the nursing home where he currently resides. His response: "a vanilla sundae with peanut butter cups." I knew just the place and was warmly greeted by Paul himself (I think). Sure enough, my dad was pleased with his Sundae. I was pleased with the experience and will definitely be back. If you are seeking a sweet treat, support this local biz and go enjoy Stroh's!

Despite the place being empty on Sunday morning, the staff still made so many mistakes with our order it was ridiculous. There is no cream/sugar/stirs station so every time you need something you have to ask. The coffee was good, so were the cider donuts, but that was it. The avocado toast has almost zero avocado, I couldn't taste it at all. The breakfast sandwich was made on a stale and reheated bagel from the bag. We were not impressed at all, and won't be back. It also costed is $30 for a very poor breakfast experience.

The staff was phenomenal, the food was really well prepared and the atmosphere was just right. Whether you are here for a date night, a group outing, a business dinner or a celebration, you can't go wrong with 220 Merrill. The steaks are excellent, I really enjoyed the calamari appetizer and of course the millionaire's fried rice was awesome. Save room for the Biscoff cookie dessert. It is totally worth it. Will eat here again if we have the chance.
