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.

I went here with some family members (one of whom is gluten-free) yesterday. We appreciate that the…read moreice cream is gluten-free by default unless noted! The flavor selection ("periodic table") is always kind of limited but it's a small location with not that many spots for flavors. I got the basil ice cream, which had that flavor note that you only ever get with fresh-from-the-garden basil. The location is also really good as it's walking distance from my family's place and the 50th and France area is pleasant to take a stroll around with your ice cream.

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!

I have been trying to use up a gift card that I've had over a year. Cold Stone used to be one of my…read morefavorite ice cream places but I've since explored local ice cream shops & prefer that vs. chains. We stopped by around 4 after work during the week. 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.

The waitress took a while to come to the table and the prices were pretty high. The ambiance was good, but the restaurant was pretty loud. I would probably go back to try other new things on the menu, and for the cheesecake for sure! My favorite cheesecake is the Godiva chocolate, it's delicious! Overall, I would return for the cheesecake!!

Then we seen the super CUTEEEEE!! Pork belly sticky bun, we asked about the dish but due to dietary restrictions unable to eat pork & staff were immediately ready to accommodate and it was an amazing experience of inclusivity. So off- the menu we had a Chicken belly sticky bun tacos anddddd as you would expect another 10/10 dish. For dessert tres leche super yummy . Overall, great food and incredibly thoughtful service.

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.

The pastries here are really good! You have to try a little bit of everything, it's hard to not go crazy here and grab everything. The taro flavored pastries are my favorite. Just grab a tray on your way in and pick up whatever pastries look tasty to you with the tongs provided. You also have to try out their drinks here. They are really good! 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.
