Dollars They gave me a receipt with just one cost not an itemized receipt so I came back and asked why. The young man said it's two dollars per flavor and two dollars for almond milk besides the cost of the cappuccino so what a medium cappuccino cost like $12. Baloney and it was disgusting and and so was the sandwich. Couldn't even eat it. What a rip off. They kept telling me almond milk cost more money. What a joke. This establishment doesn't even have their name or logo on the cups but they want to charge 12 or $13 for a cup of coffee. Give me a break.

I go there middle of the day not a lot going on, as other posts have noted the lady working the counter was cold and not very welcoming, no hello or how are you when I walked in. I politely said hi as she picked up the phone, no response even after she hung up from her phone call. I inquired about if they were organic bc there is a sign that says hormone free etc, she just blandly said no bc they give their cows grain, and that was the end of that. They have good products but it's hard to support local farms when the people working there seem to not give a shit about the people walking in the door. Number one rule of sales: sell the company, sell yourself, sell the product. She didn't do any of these things. The eggnog is pretty good, really thick, I like it. But they could work on their enthusiasm for their customers, and customer service hell even a smile would have been nice.

I used to periodically pick up a dozen donuts for my grandkids from this location and they were…read morealways delicious and stuffed with filling. I haven't been out that way for many months now. I picked up a dozen today and we were all so very disappointed. Every filled donut had 25% (or less) of the filling they've had prior. You would have to bite way into the donut to finally reach the filling and after taking two bites the filling was gone. This conclusion was unanimous by the way. In the past, when you would bite into a filled donut, the filling would ooze out, and every bite would be have more than adequate filling, and now we could barely find any. When I told this to a friend, she told me they had stopped purchasing Dippin Donuts at least from that location for the very same reason. I don't know if it is just this location or if it is across the board at all locations, but it is undeniably obvious when you bite into a doughnut now from the Leicester location that it has greatly changed. I don't where those directions to change the recipe so drastically came from, but unless you go back to making your donuts the way you always have in the past, we definitely will not be buying donuts from there again and wouldn't recommend it. Did you change the recipe and/or also decide to cut way way back on the filling for a reason? I'm sorry to not give a good review, but these donuts were skimpier than Dunkin's and I hope enough people state the same that you will remedy this. Thank you.

I mean, Dippin beats that national chain by far. I only had the coconut donut here, and it was good…read moreenough, but my friend also dug into the maple (real maple! I tasted to confirm) and a few others. Yes, price is above that national chain, but you get what you pay for. Quick service, good eats, they put their money into their food (and probably their workers) instead of their branding. So do support your local place - even if there's a few of them in the area - and dip before you dunk!

My wife and I have driven by 308 Lakeside several times when visiting East Brookfield and have…read moretalked about stopping but for whatever reason did not. Today was "date night" so when look for a new place to checkout 308 Lakeside made the list, after reading a recent article on social media about new owners, we decided to stop for a late Sunday lunch. Once we found a place to park (parking is a challenge as they are victim of their own success so be prepared) We were greeted pleasantly by the hostess and promptly seated. They had a duet performing live music of pop covers. We were seated along the window overlooking Lake Lashaway. Nice view! Our server, Payton was very helpful and patient as this was our first time. Jessica the manager stopped by the table to check on us and introduce herself, after a nice conversation about this being our first time and the article highlighting the new owner, Payton returned with our beverages (raspberry tea, root beer and water). We ordered as a starter potato skins. In due course they were brought. These potato skins had a lot of potato still in the skins- making them the perfect carrier for the generous amount of cheese and bacon. Served with sour cream. Delicious! By this time we were ready to order. I ordered the French dip with fries. This is one of my favorite sandwiches and is a rarity these days. My wife ordered the stuffed portobello mushroom and house side salad. I also the limited menu item pretzel sticks, and a bowl of their chili to share with my wife. Payton was good to check on us and keep us hydrated. After a bit of time since we ordered (nearly an hour) Jessica came over and apologized for the delay and said the food would be out shortly, and comped us a dessert. The reason was totally out of their control and has no bearing on this review. One of the kitchen staff had an immediate family member pass away, leaving the kitchen short handed. It was gracious of Jessica to comp a dessert, we weren't in any hurry it being date night. The food was delivered as promised and exceeded expectations. I have to say the French dip was a solid #3 on my top ten list of French dips I have enjoyed in my lifetime. (#1 Rio Rico Resort in 1978 AZ, #2 The Colonial Restaurant in 1974 CT) My wife's portobello mushroom was one of the best she has had (being allergic to seafood and knowing her tastes I trust her review). The chili was good and we ended up bringing home. We would make the drive just for the chili. Pretzel sticks were server hot and were very light. The mustard base dipping sauce was some of the best we have enjoyed and perfectly suited for the pretzel sticks. For dessert we shared a piece of blueberry carrot cake with whipped cream. It was a delicious ending to our meal and first visit. The only detractors was the parking which I am not sure they can do much about (only a single handicapped space), we ended having to park up the road; and a tidying up- the men's room while the fixtures were clean, the floor has layers of soil from being mopped with dirty water (easy to rectify with occasional professional cleaning) and a partial beer bottle was left on top of the towel dispenser. In the room we were seated in, the acoustic ceiling panels just need a good dusting. Like a said those are but minor observations. The food was some of the best around and the service equally a standout. Highly recommend 308 Lakeside. We will definitely be back.
