This spot is in a shared shopping area was plenty of parking. They have handcrafted chocolates. They can put them in little decorative boxes and packages for you to give as gifts. That are so cute. I was greeted upon entering and assisted immediately. They did follow the COVID-19 safety procedures as recommended by the CDC. I got this cinnamon whipped honey while I was in there to use on my biscuits it was divine! I definitely think of you in the area stop by and grab some yummy treats..... you will not be disappointed.

Saw this wine bar from the side of the road one day and looked it up on yelp. Purposefully came in…read moretoday to sample a tasting while killing some time. Happy I did, the aesthetics are very modern, warm and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and seemed like a well oiled family, coexisting through life together. They change up their tasting menu's often, so you never know what you'll be experiencing. Today featured Spanish wines from Celler De Roure. The experience was pleasing with the wine being displayed in top notch Spiegelau wine glasses. It definitely elevated the experience. In the end I was drawn to a glass of the B True Napa Valley Cab Sav. It was very lovely to the pallet and hit all the right notes. Thank you for a relaxing afternoon.

I saw the barista working super hard to complete the orders quickly. I didn't see the store being super crowded at any point, nice spot to grab some drinks and bites on your way in or out of the hotel.

On June 27, while my family and I were on vacation in Ballantyne, we decided to stop by Tifa's for…read moregelato after dinner. It was our first time visiting Charlotte, and after seeing that the shop was open until 11:00 p.m., we figured it would be the perfect way to end the evening. We arrived just a few minutes before closing, but since we only planned to order a couple of scoops of gelato, we expected to be in and out quickly. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the moment we walked in. Rather than greeting us or welcoming us, the employee immediately said, "Hey guys, by the way, we close in two minutes." There was no hello or friendly interaction. As we ordered, one member of our party asked to sample a couple of flavors, and the employee seemed visibly inconvenienced. When I asked if they had caramel drizzle, her response was simply, "No," with no warmth or attempt to offer an alternative. I completely understand that arriving close to closing can be frustrating for employees, and we were mindful of the time. However, the doors were still open, the posted business hours indicated the shop was open until 11:00 p.m., and we were respectful customers who knew what we wanted and intended to order quickly. What was most disappointing wasn't that they were closing soon--it was how unwelcome we were made to feel. As first-time visitors to Charlotte and Ballantyne, this wasn't the hospitality we expected. Customer service matters just as much during the last few minutes of business as it does throughout the rest of the day. I hope this feedback is taken as an opportunity to remind staff that every customer deserves to feel welcomed, regardless of when they walk through the door during posted business hours.

I have literally been coming to Crave for over 15 years. I was a fan then and I'm still a fan now…read more I have a serious sweet tooth so I love that this dessert bar offers a variety of sweets for different pallets from the drinks to the cheesecakes and the cakes, I can always find something that I like. On this particular visit, I sat on the patio, which I had never done before, but it was nice and quiet and very relaxing on a Sunday evening. I ordered the cheesecake and it was garnished with caramel popcorn, which added a nice touch to look at, but the popcorn was stale so I don't really think it was necessary, but it did make the plate look pretty. The cheesecake was delicious. Couldn't finish it all, but I took it home and finished it the next day. Our server was great. She was very attentive, friendly, and gave good suggestions. Love Crave and I'll again and again.

But a good friend of mine said that they go all the time and haven't had any issues and wanted to get me to try it again. So, we went on a Saturday evening around 6ish. We didn't necessarily have any issues getting in, but the hostess did say that her security might have an issue with the shirt my friend had on, even though he was very dressed up. It made me uncomfortable and seemed threatning almost. But she let us in and everything was fine. I don't understand why Crave always acts this way. But then when I walk in I see people of non-color dressed any kind of way, casual, etc. It just really rubs me the wrong way and for it to happen to me EVERY time I go, only leads me to one conclusion... So, anyway. We were there and we ordered hookah drinks and had a good time. Our server was super sweet and chill. She really saved the visit. I had a good time, but I most likely will not be back again.

I love the Chocolate and Carmel apples. I wait and cut them at home so it will last a few days. Why are their apples always so good?!

I came here based on my family member's recommendation - she raved about the candied apples so I purchased one, it was a Butterfinger apple, which was delicious. I was hesitant to indulge because I thought it would be too sweet but the pairing of the Granny Smith apple with the butterfinger flavor was well balanced... overall I had a good experience. Service was good too and what I loved most is that they will cut the apples for you if you ask.

I'm writing this review because we recently learned that a gift certificate we gifted as a holiday present expired. I wasn't aware it had a time limit, if I had know I would've thought twice about gifting from this establishment. It's embarrassing for us to give a gift that was ultimately unusable. I understand running a small business is challenging, but I wish I would've at least been made aware of their gift card policy in advance.
