If you're looking for a unique dessert spot in Rockland, Robins Creamery is absolutely worth the…read morevisit. The combination of ube and matcha is unbelievably creamy, smooth, and rich without being overly sweet. The ube has that perfect nutty vanilla-like flavor with a deep, authentic taste, while the matcha is earthy, bold, and balanced beautifully. Swirling the two together makes every bite even better. What really stands out is the texture it was light, fluffy, and silky soft serve that melts perfectly. The flavors taste fresh and premium, not artificial at all. The presentation is also gorgeous, making it almost too pretty to eat. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staffs make the experience even better. They also serve bubble milk teas, Dubai chocolate cup and more!! They even have a pretty mirror to take picture with

Robin's Creamery was a bit of a letdown this time around…read more When we walked in, there was only one person working and we waited at least 10 minutes while he prepared just a few drinks. Not really sure why it took that long, but it was definitely frustrating just standing there. We eventually ordered four cones (ube and matcha)...and giving credit where it's due, the ice cream itself is still very good. It's creamy, flavorful, and consistent with what we had on a previous visit. That said, the portions felt off this time. The cones didn't seem as full, and what really stood out was that each one had a noticeable hollow center -- almost like the middle was missing. Sign. For $9 a cone, that just shouldn't happen. Last time I was here, it felt like a 5-star spot. This visit? Not there at all. Still good ice cream, but between the wait and the portion issues, it didn't live up to the price.

Tried El Toro Steakhouse for the first time today and unfortunately, my party and I weren't super…read moreimpressed by the end of it. First off, inside is very spacious with lots of indoor and a few outdoor seating. The place is well maintained and clean. It gives off a western vibe with its wooden interior and bull decorations. At the same time, it maintains a form of elegance with the nice tables. Ambiance rate 7.5/10. My family and I ordered... 1. Fried Calamari: This appetizer was okay, tasted like it's classic dish. Rate 7/10. 2. Filet Mignon Quesadillas: This appetizer was very delicious! The meat was very tender and the tortilla wrap was nice and crispy! Rate 10/10. 3. Rack of Lamb: This dish was upsetting because there wasn't a lot of meat on the rack. Plus, it wasn't cooked to my liking. The sauce was okay, nothing special. Rate 5/10. 4. Rib Eye Steak: This dish was very disappointing since it wasn't cooked to our liking. Plus, the meat was very chewy. However, the presentation of the dish was nice. Rate 3/10. 5. Porterhouse Steak: This dish was mediocre considering it wasn't cooked to our liking. Plus, it was very bland. However, the way they presented it by cutting, grilling, and serving it at the table was great! Rate 5/10. 6. Creamed Spinach This side did not taste good because the cheese tasted spoiled, and it had a very soupy like texture. Rate 4/10. 7. Parmesan Truffle Fries: These were very unsatisfying since I didn't even taste a single drop of truffle. Rate 2/10. It's important to note that all our specialty meats were all cooked well done when we ordered it to be medium to medium rare. The staff were very nice. However, the service was extremely slow. It took about 45 minutes for our main entrées to come out. This was surprising considering we were the only people in the restaurant during our meal. Staff/service rate 5/10. Overall, I wouldn't come back to this steakhouse due to the mediocrity and insipid taste of the dishes we ordered.

Since hubs' long-time friend and his wife didn't include details of a Wedding registry in their…read moreinvitation, we knew off the bat that we didn't want to go to the reception empty-handed with just the money envelope. A mundane vase was out of the question. So were thoughtless gift cards to those home stores such as BB&B. Instead, we decided to: (1) go off the grid, (2) be more creative and (3) choose a gift that's personal- but represents something for the new married couple and their home. Calling first before coming here was a breeze especially when Dean asked if I was looking for a Spiritual or 'Happy' Buddha then reassured me they have a varied selection. Taking a last-minute trip here, was a must the day before our friends' Saturday wedding. Located at the Palisades Mall (by Macy's) in Nyack, Glowing Candle greets you with different Buddhas, Crystals, Quartz, Fairy statues, etc. They were known primarily for their candles, but somehow shifted to offering Spiritual items for the mind, body and Soul. With so many different Buddhas that have a different message depending on the posture and mudras (hand gestures), we had a specific type in mind. We chose the Dhyana mudra with both of Buddha's palms almost overlapping and resting upward on the lap made out of volcanic ash. Service from Dean was incredible and took the time to clarify a few things about his products. Plus, he boxed our gift and filled in the gaps with tissue paper. I may not be so keen on gallivanting at the Palisades Mall- but coming to this shop, getting what I want and heading back out, wouldn't be a problem.

Me being new to the world of crystals and precious stones I was amazed with the vast amount of pieces to choose from. Along side of the many options, the knowledge and information that the entire staff was able to share and help educate me was far beyond what I expected to walk out of the store with, I believe the associates names were Tara and Dean but they literally walked me through any and every questions I had and I really felt they just took their time to each understand me and that was actually really refreshing and unexpected service and an over all topping to a unique experience in a unique store. i say all of that to say all of this. I couldn't express greater appreciation for my unexpected visit to Glowing Candle and look forward to my next and future visits to come!
