Just a little laidback eatery. The eatery is located in West Park with street parking (complicated to find parking). This cozy spot blends savory Mediterranean flavors with indulgent dessert options (crepes with various toppings). The entrance is through covered heated patio that has cute flowers hanging from the ceiling. The outdoor area has a lot of tables. Inside has only a few booths, and a lot of Nutella buckets. The latter is fun! I ordered my order to go but peeked inside the boxes before leaving. Gyro Sandwich with fries (extra charge) had a lot of meat, but was very light on the sauce. Fries were too salty and over-fried. It wasn't the best gyro that I experienced. I also ordered pistachio crepe with strawberry and Nutella. The crepe was made to order and you could watch the prep process. I'm pretty sure this crepe was Dubai chocolate inspired but it had very faint pistachio taste which dulled it. It had too much chocolate and was ok. There were also ice cream choices but I didn't try them. I had much better Middle Eastern food in the area. Food order was made quickly though which was a plus. Think of it as Middle Eastern fast food. The place had signs that if you ask for your food to go then dine in, there's a special $4 charge. The place was pretty busy considering it was Saturday a little after 9 PM. The service wasn't too friendly. I had to repeat my order multiple times and the response was - "what?" Just wasn't warm or welcoming. Overall, I'd recommend this place only if you're in the area and coming home from the bars. It's open late, which is clutch if you're craving something sweet and savory after hours.

I've only had dessert here, so I can't speak to the rest of the menu, but if you're looking for a…read moreunique sweet treat, this is the place to come to! Located in Lakewood, parking is on the street. The shop has an insulated and heated indoor patio as well as a few booths inside the actual shop. The location specializes in shawarma, as well as crepes, Belgian waffles, and ice cream, and Dubai Chocolate. The first time we came here, my husband and I split the Lotus Crepe and a Belgian waffle with fresh strawberries, Nutella and white chocolate with Oreo ice cream. Both desserts were excellent and decadent but we both enjoyed the crepe the best. The next week we came back and again split a Lotus crepe with lotus ice cream and a fudge cake crepe. Again, both were excellent but we still liked the lotus crepe the best. Both times we asked about the Dubai chocolate and both times they were sold out. This place is worth the drive to enjoy these unique and delicious desserts. I did ask, and all food in their entire restaurant is Halal with the exception of one ice cream flavor that has marshmallows in it. They also carry specialized coffee drinks and Turkish coffee. Give this place a try on your next date night or night out with friends or family. There is something for everyone and everything is great!

I visited in April 2023 (see my PHOTOS below) and I've been back maybe twice after that. In April 2023, I ordered a small vanilla ice-cream with butterfinger and Oreo on top. I recently visited again in July 2024 and I ordered a small DAIRY FREE vanilla ice-cream topped with butterfinger pieces and peanut butter cup pieces ($3.50). It was simple and delicious. There are of options to choose from so I'm sure you'll find something you like. Customer service is always friendly and quick. Next time, maybe I'll get a mix of ice-cream with a type of cereal because that's what they are known for (cereals with ice-cream). **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 67/150 total reviews in 2024 - 717 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 14 July 2024

We went there today for the first time. It's a small place with a few tables and comfortable chairs to sit and relax with a cup of Rising Star coffee.

Can't wait to get home to try it all. The owner, a very pleasant and helpful woman, explained everything to us without hesitation as we asked question after question. If you long for Greek bakery, or just any bakery, give them a look-see. FYI... update: I just had everything I purchased for dinner. It was FANTASTIC!!! I'm definitely going back.

Pro Tip: Visit to get a pic by their cool Lakewood mural inside the store…read more Walking into Burning River Coffee was a bit like stumbling into a local secret - a combo of smoke shop and coffee shop. The front is unassuming, and this combo isn't something you see every day, but somehow, it works... or at least, it's interesting enough to give it a shot. I visited the coffee shop side while working nearby (walking distance) at the co-working center (Icon Cowork). I ordered the red eye. Honestly? It delivered. It wired me for days. It was extremely strong and not well crafted (too much, definitely not barista made). But boy did it do its job. While at the coffee shop, I noticed a small menu of other drinks and no baked goods in the case. It just really had the basics. Service was very quick. The barista (who worked both sides of the house) was nice enough, but the vibe was more transactional than inviting. Not rude, just kind of indifferent. The space had enough tables to sit at and very quiet atmosphere. One thing I couldn't ignore was the scent of vape juice hanging in the air. It didn't bother me personally, but I can see how that could be a turn-off if you're expecting more of a traditional coffee shop aesthetic. Of note is that both sides of the business have the same entrance. They're working on dividing the space into two separate ones according to my quick chat with the employee. Currently the coffee shop has no age restrictions while the smoke shop is 21+. Overall? Burning River Coffee is quirky and good for a simple cup of coffee. It's not a textbook coffee shop experience -- it's its own thing. Just don't expect the usual indie-coffeehouse playlist and aesthetic. Expect something unexpected and different.

He ordered the cotton candy Italian ice, and I got the mango. Both were excellent--very flavorful and perfectly refreshing. The day we visited it was a chilly March afternoon, and since this location is more of a walk-up stand in the middle of a shopping strip, we decided to take our Italian ice to go and enjoy it in the car. Even so, it was a quick and pleasant stop, and the treats were exactly what we needed. It was in a weird location being in the center of a shopping strip, and I wish there was an inside with tables or booths where you can sit and eat, other than that, it was wonderful. Simple, tasty, and refreshing, we are looking forward to returning in the spring and summer months.

My friend decided to treat me to ice-cream so we came here since I happened to be at a library close by. This is a kiosk ordering system so you order outside. There isn't an in-shop seating area but they have 2 benches outside to sit on. MENU -- They sell Italian Ice, Gelati (layers of Italian Ice and Custard), Frozen Custard, Blenders (blended Italian Ice drink), frozen coffee, frozen lemonade, milkshakes, and just regular custard. There is an assortment of custard and Italian Ice flavours to choose from including the classic chocolate and vanilla. They also have alot of toppings such as Oreo, wafers, toffee, etc. I ordered a small custard for $3.99 (Twist flavour which is a mixture of vanilla and chocolate). I added the Almond Toffee Crunch topping which cost just over a $1 extra. I asked what their custard is made of and I was told that it is just a thicker ice-cream. I loved my simple ice-cream (custard) especially with the crunch of the almond toffee topping. Although I try to limit dairy from my diet, this custard is made with dairy. My friend ordered a large milkshake which was just over $6 but I forgot the flavour she got. She also added a topping that I think was M&M's candy. Overall, I loved my ice-cream (custard) and I'd love to return to try their Gelati's (layers of Italian Ice and custard). **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 72/150 total reviews in 2024 - 722 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 18 July 2024
