This place felt like Willy Wonka opened a milkshake bar for the Instagram generation…read more We stopped by Black Rock Dessert while looking for ice cream and instead found milkshakes on steroids. We ordered the Dust Storm: a vanilla milkshake with chocolate bits, topped with a giant blondie skewered dramatically on top, plus whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate drizzle. The rim of the jar was coated in marshmallow dip and graham cracker crumbs because apparently subtlety has left the chat. Honestly, the presentation was on point and exactly the kind of milkshake kids dream about. Which is why we ordered it. My tween declared it "the best milkshake I've ever seen in my life," and honestly, that alone made it worth the stop on our mother-daughter trip. Taste-wise, it leaned very sweet for me and didn't have a ton of flavor depth beyond sugar overload. But clearly the goal here is maximal fun and aesthetic, and they absolutely nailed that. It's basically a photo op you can drink. The shop itself was surprisingly quiet when we visited in the evening--we had the whole place to ourselves--but there were games to play while waiting for our order (we pulled out Pick Up Sticks, which transported me straight back to my 90s childhood living room). The ladies at the counter were also incredibly kind and patient explaining the menu and flavors to us. If you're looking for an over-the-top dessert experience your kids will talk about for days, this is your place.

I am a bit torn on Black Rock, but it's a great dessert spot nonetheless…read more Stopped in at Black Rock Dessert on a Thursday evening. Just one lone employee was running the place. In my opinion, it wasn't enough. There was a steady flow of people, and she couldn't keep up with orders and customer service. We opted for two small scoops of ice cream for the kids: chocolate and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We also ordered the sizzling blonde brownie sundae. It was about $20 for three items. The ice cream was very good, especially the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Very unique flavor and great texture. The blondie was a bit of a letdown. First, the blondie was not "sizzling". It wasn't even really warm. Only placed in a waffle iron for a few seconds. Second, it seemed very dry and crumbly, maybe even overbaked. I thought the ideas at Black Rock are fun, and I think trying one of their milkshakes should be my next visit. However, there are a lot of great ice cream spots in Reno. For just ice cream, I think there is some heavy competition.

Everything is made fresh, including the ice cream, and the ice cream is made from the owner's own recipes. They pride themselves on quality ingredients and carefully curated recipes, and it shows! The service is excellent too. We arrived just after closing, and the owner still let us in. He was gracious and friendly, and let us stay inside while he cleaned up so we didn't have to go out in the heat to eat it. The store was also immaculately clean.

My daughter and I stopped by today after having an early dinner nearby. My daughter begged me to…read morebring her here for dessert. It's a cute dessert shop. Cookies and a soda shop in one. Conveniently located in Midtown. The girls working were friendly and gave us a rundown. We ordered a 4-pk. Our four: a parent trap, the bueno and two crave chocolate chips. One crave chocolate chip boxed separately for my little. I wish our cookies were warm like fresh out of the oven. That was a huge bummer and took away from this initial experience. Our cookies were just okay. We have a favorite cookie shop in Carson and I think we'll skip Crave cookies next time. The service was good, but the product/value missed the mark for us.

We sampled each one and our favorite by far was the Hostess Cupcake one. Just like the real one with a creamy filling included. We didn't really care for the Biscoff S'mores Crookie, but overall we enjoyed them. The cookies are similar to what you would get from Crumbl, but Crave's didn't seem too rich like Crumbl does. It was the right amount of rich I felt. I believe they offer new flavors every week.

It's not too sweet and it's incredibly refreshing. The mango flavor complemented the matcha really well, creating a drink that was both flavorful and satisfying. The drink was beautifully made.

I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their drinks!

Coming originally from an area where you can find a pretty large range of Chinese/Vietnamese…read morebakeries, I was very excited to find out that Reno had one! Parking is very easy in the shopping center lot. Honey Bakers is a small shop where you order to-go. Highlights The location offers a range of dim sum standards (har gow, siu mai, sticky rice, etc.) that you can order on demand. Around Autumn festival time, there are also mooncakes and other traditional pastries, with lotus, black bean, red bean, taro, egg custard, and other fillings. There is also a long specialty menu of sweet and savory "buns," including steamed and baked char siu bao, coconut pineapple, red bean, and chicken. I don't think I've ever seen so many options in one place, amazing! Turnaround time is pretty fast as well. Lowlights The dim sum prices are "boutique," and by that, I mean much more expensive than dim sum restaurants I've been to. Dim sum doesn't have that many offerings around here, and so you pay for the convenience. The buns are more reasonably priced, but the fillings are on the low side, and some aren't quite as fresh or tasty as I'm used to. Again, demand often impacts these factors, so I can appreciate a small business has to balance things. Overall, a convenient option if you're craving dim sum or Chinese sweets.

So many fresh choices.prickled pear ,cucumber mint agua that they make from the actual fruit! Everything was so perfectly ripe. You could smell it in the air. So i was super excited about having this drink i finally decided on, (pina colada) and they handed it to me. I paid. 9$. And i thanked them and left. It was so good. The freshest pineapple chunks with grated yummy coconut and cool shaved (more like chunky pieces of) ice. I ate it enthusiastically untill about two thirds way and with my spoon pulled up a thick,dark hair. So gross! Ahhh! I freaked out., almost upchucked and got rid of the rest. That was about a month ago. Today. I thought I'd give him another chance it was hot out I really love their menu choices of all the fresh fruits. I went back again and ordered a couple drinks. Another hair like a cherry on top was waiting for her me. It felt racist in a way, im a white girl so maybe? Anyway im digusted and believe in classes that train people for working in the industry to not be this careless when preparing and serving us their products.

I'm not sure if it was ice cream or sorbet, but either way, it was excellent. The other two kinds will be tested tomorrow, but I'm sure they are just as good. I will be going back, often, because life is too short for mediocre ice cream!
