I've been here a few times before and really enjoyed it, but this recent visit didn't match my…read moreprevious experiences. I purchased two buns. The Cookie Monster and Strawberry Cheesecake rolls. Both were melted by the time I got home. :( The quality this time felt different overall, and everything seemed noticeably sweeter than I remember from past visits. Also, I noticed a difference between the sample and what I received. The Strawberry Cheesecake sample on display had a visible strawberry (or at least a larger piece), but the actual roll I got only had a few very small bits, which felt a bit misleading. By the second day, the roll was already hard, which was disappointing in terms of freshness. I'm not sure if it was just an off batch, but based on this experience, I'm not sure it's worth the travel for me going forward.

Intimate without being fussy, Ravello delivers meals portioned for adults prepared with the love and care of my sainted grandmother (if she ever learned how to cook.) Sorry Nonna.

Ravello is already on speed dial and I'm counting down the days until our next visit. Don't let the strip mall fool you, excellence awaits within. Five easy stars for this BYOB classic.

They've an impressive range of flavors, and I try to always try a flavor that I've not had in a long time, however I need to have my chocolate cherry more often than not. It's also very common to see people walking along the counter to pick their flavors. If you haven't made a decision, and the people behind you in line know what they want, do the right thing and let them go first. They give healthy scoops, and one scoop, although it doesn't sound like much, might be enough for someone with less post-dinner space available in their belly. If it's your first time visiting, watch the scoops being given to the person in front of you before making your decision. As an added bonus, during Spring and Summer Saturday nights, they have live music in the room as well. It's a cheap, fun date.

They keep leaving the boxes of ice cream on top of the counters to restock and then serve long lines of customers. This makes the ice cream very melty and causes freezer burn. Halo Pub does not allow tastes anymore so when they are out of your family's favorite flavors, it is a blind guess as to what to order. The hot fudge is delicious, but hard to enjoy when they give so little and the ice cream starts out melty. I hope the management will start listening to customer feedback and fix the stocking issues. The staff says that they request more stock of popular flavors, but don't get them. Lastly, the bathroom is nasty.

From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of authentic, homemade Italian cooking and the warm hospitality that instantly makes you feel like family. John, Michael, and Kevin put a little bit of love into everything they serve. They are knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and always willing to make recommendations. Then there's Babs, the "cleanup hitter," who runs the register with remarkable efficiency while sending every customer off with a warm smile and sincere appreciation. The selection of freshly prepared Italian specialties is nothing short of outstanding. Whether you're stopping in for lunch, picking up dinner for the family, or planning a special event, every dish reflects exceptional quality, authentic flavor, and meticulous attention to detail. Their catering service is equally impressive, providing beautifully prepared meals that are guaranteed to make any gathering memorable. The sandwiches are simply phenomenal--generously piled high with the freshest ingredients and served on freshly baked Italian bread that elevates every bite. It's easy to understand why Dolce & Clemens has earned such a loyal following. And whatever you do, don't leave without visiting the pastry shop! Their assortment of traditional Italian pastries is the perfect finale to any meal--always fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Outstanding food, exceptional service, fair prices, and an unwavering commitment to quality make Dolce & Clemens a destination I'll return to again and again. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine, incredible sandwiches, delectable pastries, or first-class catering, look no further. Highly recommended--on a 1-10 scale, they are easily an 11.

My first time-- I've been waiting for this one after always coming at inopportune times when…read morethere's too long of a line. Honestly, after having this now, I would have waited in all of those lines. Texture-- great. Firm, but still soft enough to scoop and eat without chew. Vanilla flavor was amazing and chocolate too. I usually establish a baseline on those flavors first-- and Bent Spoon knocked it out of the park. Staff here are pretty helpful despite the limited space here in the store. They were quick to serve samples, and get me helped. Not a lot of space in the store itself to linger, although there are some green spaces and benches across the street. If you'd like to eat it indoors you'll probably find yourself fighting others trying to do the same. Otherwise, plan on crowds during any evening, and all weekend. If you find a line, send one representative to wait, go walk around the area or the Princeton campus, and then come back. It's well worth the wait.

I do have to say I LOVE their paper cone shape for the ice cream. It's smart. It holds the ice cream. It prevents us from accidentally pushing the top scoop off the cone.

I was initially on the…read morefence due to the two viral crunches I tried--only one was enjoyable--and I wasn't impressed with the service. That said, I don't believe in writing a place off after a single average experience, so I decided to give it a second chance. This time, I ordered two different viral crunches along with a croissant. Unfortunately, the results were disappointing across the board. The Mixed Berry Crunchy was cute in presentation, but that was its only redeeming quality. There was no bold--or even subtle--mixed berry flavor. At $10, it felt wildly overpriced and not worth the calories. Next was the Lemon Crunchy, which is supposed to feature a lemon blueberry flavor. As someone who loves lemon, I had high expectations, but once again it was bland and forgettable. Since this is a bakery, I also tried a fresh croissant and asked for it to be warmed. The staff accommodated the request, and it smelled incredible. It was warm, light, and flaky--but sadly, the flavor fell flat. A light brushing of butter on top would have gone a long way. For me, this is strike two. Unfortunately, Lilla Vanilla just isn't worth the money or the calories. Based on my experience--mediocre service on the first visit, bland and overpriced featured items on the second, and only neutral-to-slightly-positive notes on the croissant--I'd rate it 2 out of 5 . I seriously contemplated giving them 1 star but to be fair, the viral crunchy presentation was appealing and the croissant did have good texture (even if the flavor missed).
