Glad to have stopped by to enjoy this excellent sheep milk ice cream before leaving Paso!…read more Been wanting to check out Negranti ever since tasted their lavender flavor at the Lavender farm when in the area some 2 years ago. Wife and kid didn't care for it, but I enjoyed that novelty flavor and the quality of the ice cream. So many more flavors were. Such a cute area, overall relaxing atmosphere in the Tin City lol. The first thing that hit as we entered the store was the smell of waffle cones! Wife immediately said we need to get waffle cones. Friendly young folks helped with samples and order. Got a cone to share with salted brown sugar & wife always chooses coffee. Both were delicious, creamy, superb quality, and very easy to digest, lol! Even my kid who usually doesn't eat regular ice cream went for the waffle cone with a cookie flavor and he ate it all by himself and loved it! He did not eat any other ice cream during spring break, and he still wants to have this sheep milk ice cream again. Something about sheep milk is just gentler on the body. Should have bought the kid Negranti again on the way down from Paso, when passing thru SLO. Oh well, if don't come back to Paso, maybe will have to get him if we ever go to Phoenix, AZ since I found a location there of all places! If can set up all the way in Arizona, please bring this down to the LA/OC area! Better yet, sell it in the markets, so I can pick it up in Walmart to keep my kid happy!!!

The store had caffeine but I opted for something different. Their dirty soda was so delicious. I was tempted to get another right away.

At about 4 pm I had to try to circle the block and find parking so Dan took the boys inside to pick what they wanted but Dan kept saying afterward they had almost nothing left to sell. He was annoyed they don't have more stock. We did get 1 lemon bar for me. 3 cupcakes, an apple turnover, and 2 sugar cookies It was all delicious as usual. Best cupcakes I've ever had. We like the lemon and red velvet. They were out of vanilla and others. Maybe it's like the donut shops where toward the end of the day most the items are sold out. That's my assumption. To start fresh tomorrow. I crave those lemon cupcakes and lemon bars.

The prices here felt very reasonable, especially compared to some of the other bakeries near…read moredowntown that we found overpriced and underwhelming. For pastries, we tried the cinnamon roll, a fruit brioche/danish, and the Dubai strawberry bun. The cinnamon roll was amazing--easily the highlight among the pastries. The fruit brioche was fine, but probably something I would skip next time. The Dubai strawberry bun was nicely done and pleasantly balanced, not overly sweet. For savory items, we ordered the Pepp & Gather pizza and the Brekkie Sando. Definitely get the pizza. It was simple but incredibly satisfying. The Brekkie Sando was also very filling, and the egg was cooked perfectly. The only odd part was the wait. We arrived around lunchtime, and apparently the chef had stepped out, so we ended up waiting about 20 minutes for the food. It felt a little strange during such a busy hour, but thankfully the food made up for it. In short, one of the better bakery and café experiences we had in the area.

At the register they have the weeks selection on display. You pick what you want and then they pull it from warmers in the back and add the toppings. Then they show you them, if they are to your liking. The customer service was good. We ordered 2 Lemon Cupcake Cookies and 2 Butter Cakes. The Lemon Cupcakes were soft, with toasted edges. The frosting was light and creamy, with a refreshing lemon cutting through the sugary sweet. The Butter Cakes were cold, had to heat them up. They were completely that yellow, buttery, sugary cake, that melted in your mouth. The whipped topping was liquefied when heated but did add a nice creamy taste, almost like melted vanilla ice cream. *Overall, good, but a little steep*

Funny thing is I found this shop by accident and I'm so glad I did. I was staying in Atascadero…read morelooking for a local coffee shop there and instead of hitting the one I thought was going to in my GPS, I accidentally hit Amstrdm instead. Even though it was a 15 minute drive up the freeway from where I was, it was worth every minute. The downtown area this shop is in was really cool, plenty of parking, and the moment you walked into this coffee shop you could tell it was going to be good. Lots of space, people sitting and having conversations, and a greeting from the Barista the second I walked through the door. I went with my standard iced oat milk latte with honey and a triple shot and it was perfect. I wish I could have drank it there because the inside of the shop seemed like a place you could hang out for a while. Unfortunately, I had to take it on the road, but that is a shop (if I lived in that area) I would drive out of my way to get to. Well done guys!

We ordered a latte, a breakfast sandwich, and the chicken pesto sandwich. The latte was enjoyable,…read morethough it tasted more milk-forward than coffee-forward. To be fair, we did order a latte, so that is partly expected. The breakfast sandwich was good but a little underseasoned and could have used a bit more flavor overall. The chicken pesto sandwich was the standout. The pesto was well balanced and did not overpower the rest of the ingredients, which made the sandwich really pleasant to eat. Overall, everything was solid, though slightly pricey for the portion sizes. The food was good, but nothing especially memorable. Still, it is a nice stop if you are in the area.

Another escape room adventure and another great time as we hit up Sweet Escapes today for some…read moreescape action and of course a little treat at the end. This is a unique place as it's 3 escape rooms inside of a very good bakery so you can have your cake and eat it to. We were greeted right away upon arrival and got started, we tackled all 3 of their rooms and were not only successful on all 3 but made the leaderboard for one. Here's a quick breakdown of the rooms. Academic Misconduct is very well setup and the rooms flows well. It can be a little difficult with the lighting in the room but we figured it out, they had some unique puzzles too that we really enjoyed. Confectionary Conspiracy is a very unique room, we haven't really done anything like it. There were some great puzzles, very immersive atmosphere and just a very well put together room. Sorro Bay is terrific, it was my favorite of the day the way the room progressed and the combination of puzzles and tricks in that room. It combined a lot of unique elements and added up to a ton of fun. The rooms were fantastic, if you haven't visited I highly recommend you do. Savannah was our GM and she's one of the best we've ever had. The way she presents the rooms is so great and she had us laughing through the day. Savannah is the kind of employee all escape rooms should strive for. Ending note, the macarons were delicious, we had the PB&J and Neapolitan ones and they were so so good.

This was our first escape room experience, and honestly, it was a blast…read more The store itself is beautiful, and when we walked in they had fresh cookies and desserts out that looked amazing. The only slightly awkward part at first was figuring out when we were supposed to come in because we were told not to enter more than 10 minutes before the session, so it felt a little unclear whether we should wait outside or come in. Not a huge deal, just a slightly awkward first impression. The employee who explained the locks and how things worked was excellent -- super friendly, upbeat, and helpful. Then we were brought into the room by another employee who stayed in character while explaining the story, which really added to the experience. I went in without huge expectations and had never done an escape room before, but it completely surprised me in the best way. The room was smaller than I expected, but the experience itself was incredibly creative and immersive. There were so many unexpected moments and surprises throughout the game that made it genuinely exciting and memorable. We didn't even finish our room, and I already want to come back and try again, plus try some of the other rooms too. Afterward, we got cookies and desserts, and they were fantastic. The cheesecake cookie with frosting, the macaron, and the white chocolate macadamia cookie with sea salted caramel were all really good. My kids loved them too. The only reason I'm mentioning this last part is because the rest of the experience was so good that it stood out: the interaction when we were leaving felt a little abrupt and uncomfortable. It seemed like the employee helping the next group may have been stressed or rushed, but the tone came across a bit curt and made us feel like we needed to leave immediately rather than relax and enjoy the shop afterward. A warmer, more welcoming checkout experience would really elevate the overall experience from great to exceptional. Overall though, we had a really fun time and would absolutely come back.

Cider Creek Bakery & Deli, step right up! You're the next contestant on Randy's Yelp review!…read more Well, I've had some of the goods at parties and events, and I was in love. So, Cider already kind of had me. In a non-descript (and hidden) mini-mall, Cider Creek stands tall. The bakery is the standout. Two full cases of all kinds of goodies and pies, a 1/2 case, and some of the sweet loafs available on the shelf. They have sandwiches and salads. Well-priced, and good. My take: it's good for grandma. It's a senior crowd to sit and stay, a younger crowd to get "to go". It's very clean and nothing wrong that I could see, but there's also nothing cool about it. Outside, they've tried to make it nice with vines over a pergola, a fireplace -- but then again it overlooks Jiffy Lube and they close early, so it's not like you can get a coffee and enjoy the lit fireplace.
