My favs were Milk Cookie, and Chocolate Chip Cherry. Also love the mini sugar cone. You could get 4 mini cones if you want but I opted for just one since I had a large lunch. Notes: Location was a short walk from my hotel. After ordering, I took a walk towards the river to see the Harley-Davidson Museum from across the way. It was a beautiful sunny day so I enjoyed eating the ice cream peacefully while walking on the Hank Aaron Trail.

Probably a 3.5 on my first experience but I'll round up bc I didn't try too many flavors. I got a…read morewaffle cone with a single scoop of salted caramel. The ice cream was solid, good texture but not the best caramel I've had. I would still get it again. I tried the honey bee but it didn't have much flavor. They did have a promo for a free mini topper of the sunflower butter which was unique and tasty! The downfall was the waffle cone. They were homemade but somewhere mine was like soft and soggy... and not even the part touching the ice cream. Strange but maybe bc it's so hot?

It's a little pricey for dessert but if you're in the right mood it's manna from heaven. So you want to be hungry. I finally tried Gordo's on a recent outing. It was early evening and there was a crowd but enough room to sit down and enjoy your treat after you order from the kiosk. I had the Dubai chocolate (pistachio sauce, chocolate, kunafa) mini pancakes and added chocolate ice cream and strawberries, because I can. There are lots of ice cream flavors and toppings to customize. Kids and adults alike will enjoy this. The food is delicious as well. The pancakes make a good conduit for the ice cream and toppings. Will be back for sugar cravings or late nights.

They had a sign that said it was a limited menu, which was fine, but the carrot cake bars tasted like straight butter, and was hard/cold.

Most of the food options are vegetarian. I had the house seasonal sangria, which was tequila based with tajin on the rim (YUM!). We ordered all four $1 and $3 apps, which came out quickly in 3 rounds. My favorite were: Pan con Tomate (4 pieces) - very fresh tomatoes! Hot Honey Tosta (2 pieces) - the bread is sooo good, and the ricotta/honey/chili flake topping is superb Empanadillas (2 pieces) - not a huge carrot fan but these were amazing, so much flavor! Cauliflower Tosta (2 pieces) - again, the bread is fantastic!! Everything we ordered was enough for 3 people. You do need to enter on the north side of the building, and it is really quite fancy. We all felt underdressed. The happy hour is offered upstairs, where the bar and patio are located, and most people were dressed "business casual." Service was fantastic as well. They do add an 18% service charge" on the bill, which no one was really sure how to handle as there is also a tip line. I felt as though I double tipped on drinks ($27 drinks + $18% service charge + $5 tip)... I guess I need to look up how this is supposed to work here in the US prior to my next visit. I will most certainly return as the food was AMAZING!!

I didn't think much of it but after our doughnuts were delivered, staff asked her if she wanted powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar doughnuts to go for her birthday. She loved getting to leave with an extra treat. We had fun playing pinball while we waited and one of my nieces commented on how she really liked the vibe of the place.

It was also a huge portion and ended up feeding me for two meals. Make sure you get here early to avoid the extremely long lines; we planned to be there right when it opened and by the time we left, there were already people having to wait outside. Worth the wait though!

Huh. I've heard good things about Honeypie and I'm confused now. I tried to get brunch with my…read morefamily at another area spot, but the wait was too long so we opted to try Honeypie. We reviewed the menu while we waiting for seating, which took far longer than we wanted, more than 30 minutes standing in the cramped lobby area with a bunch of other people. Hats off to their host for being friendly and even a little entertaining and I like that you can order coffee at the register area and drink it while you wait. Too bad you can't get a cocktail out there. The menu sounded great and we were ravenous so we were excited to order. By the time we were seated we were limited to about 40 minutes to get to a ticketed event, all in. I told that to our waitress so she could pace the meal accordingly. While I understand that she can't control the kitchen time, I don't think she showed any expediency or attention to my statement. Spoiler alert - we were late. Two of us ordered the biscuits to start with jam. I was happy to try them and they were good. My coffee based martini hit the spot, but it was spilled a little when it hit the table and our server didn't say anything or wipe it off. My mom liked her bloody Mary and it was decent. When our food came I was immediately disappointed by the appearance. My chilaquiles looked like they had sat under a heat lamp for ages - the egg was dried and over firm. My chips were spicy, but 100% soggy and nasty. My black beans were - meh. Not a good dish overall. My mom actually didn't find fault with her Honeypie Benedict. I tried the hollandaise and it was fine. My cousin did not enjoy her Hopple Popple skillet at all. (Potatoes, bacon, caramelized onion, mushroom, bell pepper, cheddar, two scrambled farm eggs) She found it difficult to find any egg, as it was apparently shrunk into tiny bits. The potatoes were like fries and it was overall bland. Not a winner. We certainly won't be back. The dishes don't live up to the interesting descriptions of them and the hype seems to be from an earlier, better time for this restaurant.

The Mexican bakery is a completely different animal when it comes to bakery's and I'm completely lost so I aske the nice guy helping me to help me pick a couple items to try, the couple items rang up at $1.20 LOL LOL so it's very value friendly. The place is very old looking on the inside and it had a family feel to it with family photos on the walls. The place has a stand up cooler with a cake, eggs,basic staples etc on the left and cases on the right with dry baked goods. I saw cookies, cupcakes, breads, rolls among all the other items that I didn't know what they were like rolls with frosting etc. I grabbed a strawberry filled pastry thing covered In granulated sugar and a moist looking slab of something that looked like pie filling. I really like exploring these neighborhood gems and trying new things that I have never had before so this place was perfect and I can't believe that Nana H. has the only review, good job Nana H. because I had no idea that this place was review starved for 13 years in business.
