Lastly, they keep the cookies warm so that's a HUGE PLUS! This review is more specifically to recognize the customer service of Eli. He was very helpful in helping me choose my selection.

If you're a true sweets lover, Midnightreats is absolutely worth the stop…read more These are not your light, airy, grab-and-go cookies. They are thick, dense, warm, and very indulgent. The kind where one cookie can easily be shared (or not lol ). They're rich and sweet, so if you're someone who loves a heavy dessert that feels like a treat-treat, you'll be in heaven. Easily a 10/10 for that category. What really stood out to me was the variety of flavors. I tried the strawberry matcha cookie and was honestly surprised by how much I liked it. It had a really nice balance of flavors and didn't feel gimmicky at all. It's always a risk trying something a little different, but this one definitely paid off. Another thing I appreciated was that they had a section of cookies discounted because they were made the night before. I love when places do this...it's a great way to try more flavors without spending a lot, and honestly, the cookies were still really good. Service-wise, the cashier was super helpful and patient, especially when it came to explaining flavors and giving recommendations. That always makes a difference when you're staring at a case full of options and can't decide.

The lighting was dim and welcoming, and though it was connected to a large restaurant, it wasn't too loud of an atmosphere. I went with the 2 for 7 slidekick sliders, which was one heck of a deal. I got the steak and egg and the speciality of the month, which was egg white with ham and cheddar. For the price, the sandwiches were bigger than I expected, hot, and very tasty. The quality was great, and I only had to wait 10 minutes for my food. I highly recommend this spot, great for the price and quality of food! I will be back to try more, maybe sweets next time!

The cake itself was really nothing special....honestly I had better cakes from supermarkets. Their salted caramel mocha didn't taste any salted caramel....just pure chocolate on the bottom.

My husband is a pie enthusiast, so him saying that this is one of the best pie spots he's tried has a lot of weight. The team makes it really easy to order online and I love how they show the lineup for the week and the upcoming 1-2 weeks. The variety along with the classics makes for a great selection every time! We even bought every pie on of the week once for a party and they were a hit! Don't worry if you didn't order ahead of time though, they do have a selection of pies available to purchase as a walk-in. If you're in the area and you love your pies, this is THE place you've got to try!

I ordered through DoorDash, and the staff kindly packed my order and kept it in their freezer so I could enjoy it in perfect condition. Very nice of them!

And those fabulous individual pastries were jewel -like in flavor & in decoration.

Then a neighbor brought a PbR coconut cake with lemon curd to our block party and I could not finished my slice... thin cake layers, the "buttercream" was not very buttery but sweet & gritty, what lemon curd?!

My go-to ice cream place in the summer…read more I love the old-school vibe. They focus more on ice cream-themed desserts than a traditional 'pick one of our 20 flavors' kind of deal. But since I tend to get the ice cream apple pie most of the time, I obviously have no issues with that. The price is reasonable too. One small thing is this is cash only.

While the ice cream is much pricier than other local chains in the area, I do appreciate their seasonal flavors along with their classic Earl Grey Tea. Also, they're on inKind, which helps! We stopped by after lunch this past Sunday, and there was a long line. Unfortunately, there was only one employee, who did her best to give samples, scoop out ice cream, and manage the cash register all at once. I definitely think Van Leeuwen could use a couple more employees, especially on a hot summer Sunday afternoon. I got a single scoop (7.95) of banana pudding, a seasonal flavor, which was actually served as two mini scoops. I did enjoy how banana-y it was and the chunks of vanilla wafers throughout, but it was incredibly sweet. Unfortunately, I couldn't even finish my ice cream. A couple of others in our group tried the other seasonal flavor, strawberry rhubarb cheesecake. However, it mostly tasted like cheesecake with bits of crust, with no noticeable strawberry or rhubarb flavor. Overall, I still like that Van Leeuwen offers unique flavors, and their ice cream is rich and creamy, but this visit was pretty underwhelming. The ice cream is already expensive, and the excessive sweetness made it difficult to finish even a single scoop.
