We did have to wait a while for the food order which was a little disappointing, even the roti took at least 20+ min to come out and we were the only ones that ordered food at the time. A lot of drink options though and I like the fusion concept. The pandan latte drink I got was just good but nothing outstanding. Not enough pandan flavor in my opinion and tasted more like coconut. Seems like a great cafe to hang out or get some work done. They have a few more tables towards the back of the room.

There was no wait, and the staff were genuinely friendly from the moment I walked in. Sometimes tea shops can feel a little rushed when they're busy, but this place had a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I ordered both a matcha latte and a hojicha latte to compare. The hojicha ended up being the clear winner for me. It had that warm, roasted flavor that makes hojicha so comforting without tasting overly sweet or heavy. It's the kind of drink I'd come back specifically to order again. The matcha latte was perfectly drinkable, but it didn't stand out the same way. It wasn't bad by any means, just not the most memorable. I'd definitely return, especially when I'm in the mood for a good hojicha latte and a quiet break while exploring Piedmont Avenue.

I popped in last night on my way to dinner so I could think about what pint/s I wanted to pick up…read morefor home. Grateful that this vegan ice cream shop has so many flavors to choose from. Friendly, helpful service. The person ahead of me ordered a double scoop and it looked so good I wanted my own, but knew I had to wait until later. Anyway, the scoops were quite large and the customer looked quite happy. I tried the two limited edition flavors. Ube and a Sri-nidadian Coco Cocoa, an upgraded version of a similar flavor they have had before. Well, the new and improved version of the Coco (coconut) Cocoa is DELICIOUS! Luckily on my return after dinner there was enough to make a pint! Whew! The shop is small so no dining inside, but there's some seating outside. I planned ahead and had my cooler and ice pack ready to take my pint home!

I've been hooked on Mr. Dewie's Cashew Creamery ever since visiting another location, and the…read moreBanana Nut and Caramel Almond Crunch have been my absolute go tos ever since; both are incredibly flavorful, ultra creamy, and filled with tiny pieces of nuts that give the perfect little crunch. I just visited their Oakland location, which is a cute, clean, and cozy spot right on the corner. It is an absolute paradise because everything here is 100% vegan, from the ice cream to the baked goods, so you can order entirely stress free. We were helped super fast by a really nice worker who let my friend and I try a couple of samples. I ended up getting the Caramel Almond Crunch paired with a brownie to make a custom brownie à la mode, and it was absolutely divine. The brownie wasn't overly sweet, which I loved, and it paired beautifully with the smoky sweetness and nuttiness of the ice cream. Every single bite was bursting with flavor. I also tried the Lemon Crème for the first time off my friend's order, and it completely blew me away. I'm usually not a fan of lemon ice cream, but this one takes the cake; the lemon isn't overpowering at all, but rather perfectly infused with a vanilla flavor. It tastes exactly like a balanced mix of vanilla and lemon ice cream, giving major lemon shortcake vibes. If you want a clean, indulgent, and incredibly delicious plant based treat, this place is it.

The service was quick and super friendly and I even got to meet the owner who was genuinely warm and welcoming. Always a good sign when the owner is present and engaged. I ordered the combo plate with brisket, ribs, coleslaw and mac and cheese and everything was outstanding. The mac and cheese is an absolute must, incredibly creamy and the kind of side dish that steals the show. The brisket and ribs were exactly what you want from a BBQ spot. What really surprised me though was the longanisa. I've had longanisa plenty of times but never prepared with a BBQ flair like this. It was a really fun and delicious twist that I wasn't expecting. Also grabbed the latke and that was a great call too. This place is doing something really special and I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Definitely coming back soon!

I ordered a 2 way, Beef Rib and Brisket, my sides were, collard greens and candy yams. I was set to order the Mac & Cheese, but when I saw it come out I changed my mind. The brisket was cook to perfect, but I had to add BBQ sauce to enjoy it . Though I am a heavy sauce guy, I like the meat banging without it. The beef rib, cooked to perfect, but was a bit tough for my liking,and since I cook beef ribs, I know the procedures to get rid of that toughness. I must add that the 2 way should come with cornbread or at least a slice of bread. ‍ And toothpicks should be available ‍‍ Now shame on me for coming to Crazy Block Cheesecake and not get a cheesecake ‍. I will visit again to try the chicken and the lamb, because I like the owners IG presence and vibe.

It might just be because I've had a lot better, very similar, fruit shaped desserts, but the chocolate shell was quite thick, the mousse and cake were a bit too sweet, and the filling overall dessert was just a bit lacking in my opinion. On top of that, the dessert I got (pistachio) was $14, which is a pretty steep price. I wouldn't mind paying that if it were really delicious, but unfortunately I was struggling to finish. The store employees were very friendly, but unfortunately I just did not enjoy the food. If you've got a sweeter palate, you might enjoy this spot, but it's not for me.
