They were very friendly and though it's a take out place there are spots to sit snd eat if it's not too busy. If you want to treat your children to some fun food or if your looking for a some traditional Caribbean eats it's worth the trip.

They offer a great variety of ice cream and water ice flavors. I opted for the Raspberry Chocolate water ice, which was incredibly smooth with a slightly creamy texture and tiny bits of dark chocolate throughout. It instantly reminded me of the water ice sold by Puerto Rican vendors operating pushcarts in the city during the '80s and '90s, a nostalgic treat from my childhood. Even better, my medium-sized cup was only $3.97, which feels like a bargain these days compared to other spots. I highly recommend stopping by for a refreshing treat on a hot day or really any time of year. Another major plus is the private parking lot. Parking can be hard to come by in this busy section of Collingswood, so having dedicated parking makes the visit that much more convenient.

This small and cozy place was clean with a couple of tables and some outside seating. A family was enjoying their scoops. They have two freezers full of flavors including some that were listed as vegan. I was greeted warmly upon entry, and could have tried any of the flavors. They do have the scoops and sundaes but I was here for a couple of shakes. Their shakes have whipped cream on top and if you wanted an extra topping it was an additional $2. After I placed my order for a vanilla shake and cookie dough shake, I did see they have three or so "fancy" shakes available with lots of goodies inside. The shakes were very tasty and my coworker said you can tell it's real ice cream! Nice to have an alternate choice from Franklin Fountain, but I do believe FF has the better flavor selection. Just under $25 including tax for two regular sized shakes without extra toppings. What a nice treat!

**GOAT ITEM** FATTEH **Michelin Star Restaurant**…read more I love venturing out of our comfort zone and trying restaurant sub-types that I don't have where I live, such as Lebanese. Suraya is located in Fishtown a bit outside the city, but the Uber here was totally worth it. This restaurant is PHENEMONAL! We decided to go with the "A taste of Suraya" for $78 a person. Of course, we started with the Hummous, Baba Ganoush, Muhammara, Labneh, & Taboule which are basically 5 separate hummus that are served as an appetizer. 3 of the hummus I really liked: Hummous - chickpeas seasoned with tehina, lemon & garlic Baba Ganoush - charred eggplant seasoned with tehina, lemon, garlic & urfa biber Muhammara - roasted red pepper and walnut dip * seasoned with chili, cumin & pomegranate 1 Hummus was ok: Labneh - strained yogurt finished with za'atar, tomatoes, cucumber, olives & mint 1 Hummus I wouldn't eat again: Taboule - parsley salad with cucumber, tomato, scallion & mint * seasoned with lemon The absolute star of the night was the Fatteh. The Fatteh is: warm chickpeas, eggplant, crispy pita & tehina yogurt * almonds, cashews & brown butter. An absolute GOAT (Greatest of All Time) food item you can get anywhere. I could eat this thing all day every day. I've never had anything like it anywhere else. As my hot food item, I chose Makanek which were little lamb sausages. I thought they were fine, not out of this world good, but solid. To drink, I had a $16 Throne of Beauty which is: mezcal, ancho reyes, contratto bitter, pineapple, sesame orgeat & grapefruit Unfortunately I couldn't taste any mezcal in the drink so it was basically a fruity drink and not very good. I also had a $17 Obscured Hallows (Old Fashioned): elijah craig bourbon, rittenhouse rye, sherry, brown butter, semolina & date It was much better and exactly on point. For the entree, I had Kawarma: slow roasted lamb * baharat, dill yogurt, cucumber & pomegranate salad The server recommended this as his favorite item on the menu and it did not disappoint. I thought it was absolutely perfect. I made a reservation online. This restaurant is absolutely worth the uber trip outside the city. The food is top notch as was the service. Looks like a cute little area with a lot more bars and restaurants all up and down the street. Highly recommend! Get out of your comfort zone and try some Lebanese food, if you haven't had any!

The restaurant offers several seating options, including bar seating, a chef's counter, a beautiful garden patio, and a traditional dining room, each creating its own unique experience. We opted for the chef's counter, and it was absolutely the right choice. Watching the kitchen work with such precision and care gave us an even greater appreciation for every dish that arrived at the table. To start, we ordered two cocktails: The Poet and The Golden Belt. The Poet was light, refreshing, and beautifully balanced--an easy-drinking cocktail that complemented the meal perfectly. The Golden Belt was equally impressive, with its vibrant turmeric hue adding visual appeal and a unique twist on a classic Old Fashioned. Our first course was the Samke Nayyeh, and it set the tone for the evening. The yellowtail was exceptionally fresh, and the combination of herbs, jalapeño, and creamy labneh was incredibly well balanced. The edible flowers added an elegant pop of color, making the dish almost too beautiful to disturb. Paired with the warm, fresh pita, every bite was outstanding. We also tried the pickled olives and vegetables. While the olives were flavorful, this was the one dish that didn't quite stand out compared to everything else. I'd probably skip it on a return visit and save room for more of the menu's highlights. For the main course, we shared the 28-ounce ribeye for two, served with toum, hummus, baba ghanoush, and charred onion, tomato, and pepper. This was unquestionably the star of the meal. The steak was cooked flawlessly with a perfect crust and rich, beefy flavor, while each spread brought something unique to the table. The toum was intensely garlicky, the hummus silky smooth, and the baba ghanoush wonderfully smoky. We also ordered the Batata Harra--salt-roasted potatoes tossed with long hot peppers, garlic, lemon, and cilantro. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and packed with bright, bold flavors, they were the ideal accompaniment to the steak. To top it all off, our host, Ryan, treated us to the Rakakat, crispy fried cheese served with a garlic spread. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture and a fantastic way to end the meal. The delicate, crispy exterior paired perfectly with the rich, melty cheese and the creamy garlic sauce. From the warm hospitality to the thoughtful presentation and expertly executed dishes, every part of this experience felt intentional. It was the perfect finale to our trip to Philadelphia, and it's a restaurant I'll gladly return to the next time I'm in town.
