I was a bit sad when they changed from Belove Creamery to Aleia because I loved what they had…read morepreviously... but when I finally tried what they had as Aleia, I wasn't so sad! I LOVE what they have to offer and my go to is the plain yogurt with pistachio cream and granola or berries. Been a fan since the beginning as Belove and will continue to be now as a Aleia... I'm so happy for them and just love everything about the business--not just their yummy desserts, but also the ambiance, the staff... and you can definitely feel the authenticity and passion the owners have for what they do.

I recently tried a new Greek frozen yogurt spot in town, and it's a refreshing option if you want…read moresomething healthier without giving up dessert. Even with low sugar and less fat, people care about flavor. The vanilla yogurt is creamy and tangy, more like traditional Greek yogurt than overly sweet frozen desserts. It's not as sugary as typical froyo, but still satisfying. What sets it apart is the nutrition--low sugar, high protein, and packed with probiotics--so it feels more like a smart snack than a cheat treat. The classic size has 35 grams of protein. I ordered the vanilla in a kids size cup with berry topping and granola. Each cup comes with 2 toppings to choose from. The size was just about right for me. They do offer 3 size cups(kids size, classic and signature). They offer a good range of toppings, from fresh fruit to crunchy granola or even chocolate. The inside had a nice decor that was clean and modern. I recommend you check the hours beforehand because during the week it opens at 3:00pm and weekends at 1:00pm until 10:00 at night. The service and staff were helpful and kind. They let me sample the yogurt before I bought. Plus, there was a new flavor to try. I definitely recommend and will definitely be back soon!

I booked their afternoon tea to host with my bookclub. Booking online was simple. I did try placing…read morea call prior to booking but I was not able to get anyone on the phone to ask about food accommodations. After booking, I did get a text in which the person informed me that they were unable to make any food accommodations. Since I already booked and I was the only person who needed accommodations, I went through with the rsvp. The location is airy and gorgeous. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I was only able to enjoy the carrot soup, my pot of tea and mimosas as all of the yummy treats had gluten. Bummer. The other ladies enjoyed the experience. I too enjoyed most of it, but I would try other locations that can accommodate for food.

Dessert stop at Cookiehead Bakery (Coral Springs)…read more I was craving something sweet before dinner, so I decided to check out Cookiehead Bakery around 6 pm. I'll be honest--I was expecting a bigger variety of cookies (and maybe some brownies), but at the time they had about 8 cookie options and 2 muffins available. Flavors included: walnut chocolate chip, classic chocolate chip, sugar cookie, Nutella red velvet, golden Oreo cookies & cream, Dubai chocolate, and lemon blueberry. They also offer soft serve, milkshakes, and coffee, which is a nice plus. I went with the last Dubai chocolate cookie ($6.42 with tax). The cookie itself was a little on the dry side, but the chocolate topping was really good and flavorful. Overall: worth trying if you're in the area, especially if you want something different--but I'd love to go back earlier in the day to see a fuller selection.

Walking into Cookiehead Bakery at 7:30 PM felt like entering a business that had already given up…read moreon itself. The sign says they're open until 10 PM, which apparently is more of a philosophical concept than an actual operating hour. Inside, it was so dim and lifeless that I genuinely questioned whether I was trespassing. No one at the counter. No sound from the back. No sign of human life at all. If a tumbleweed had rolled past the cookie case, it honestly would have fit the mood. And that cookie case? It looked less like a bakery display and more like the aftermath of a clearance sale nobody cared enough to restock. I stood there long enough to go through the full emotional journey from hopeful dessert run to "should I call someone to report this place missing?" before an employee finally appeared out of nowhere like they'd been summoned by confusion itself. Now, maybe I'm being a little harsh, but the vibe was unmistakable: I was interrupting absolutely nothing, and somehow still felt unwelcome. So I did the safe thing and ordered the chocolate chip, figuring if your signature cookie can't deliver, what are we even doing here? A cookie eventually appeared, and after all the suspense, mystery, and accidental haunted-house atmosphere, the payoff was... fine. Better than a gas station cookie, sure, but that is such a low bar it's basically underground. At these prices, I'm expecting bakery magic, not "slightly upgraded convenience store." The whole experience felt like the cookie version of showing up to a party after everyone already left. Dim lights, dead energy, and one lonely chocolate chip cookie trying its best to carry the reputation of the entire place. I've had worse, but not by much. Two stars. One for being technically open, and one because the cookie did, in fact, exist. For what they charge, mediocrity shouldn't feel this committed.

I finally stopped in to see what all the hype was about. The first thing I noticed was that the…read moreplace felt a little cramped. It's packed with old memorabilia and collectibles, which I'm sure a lot of people enjoy, but for me it made the place feel smaller than it really is. The ice cream was very good, although I wouldn't say they had an overwhelming number of flavors. Still, there was enough variety to find something you'd like. Then again, who doesn't like good ice cream? Even though the place was busy, we had no problem finding a seat. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly. When you serve a good product, a crowd comes with it. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't call it a home run. I'm not sure if it's somewhere I'd go back to on a regular basis, but I'm glad I tried it. I had thought about taking a younger person there for a birthday, but I think they'd probably have more fun at Jaxson's in Dania Beach. The atmosphere there is more my style. Overall, good ice cream, excellent service, just a little too crowded and cluttered for my taste.

Honestly, I wasn't much of a fan. Parking can be a little…read moretricky, there is a parking lot, but it's shared by all the merchants in the plaza. You have the option to order at the window outside, or, go into the shop to order. The moment you walk in, it very very overwhelming. Tons of trinkets, posters, colors, signs and memorabilia's and figurines everywhere! The more you look, the more you'll see. Staff seemed like they were there just for their paychecks, and not really caring for the customer service or offering their opinion or recommendations, the night we visited there was a good amount of patrons. There's seating off the right side of the shop and a few towards the back. They have a very wide selection of ice cream flavors. I settled for a dulce deleche, and it was just ok. We ordered that, and I took some pictures and left. The interior was too much for me, personally. Way too much going on.

Brazilian bakery in Boca Raton with a scent of fresh pastry you wont forget. Large dining room with…read moreample seating. Cakes and pastries filled several counter displays. They do have an espresso machine with some type of Colombian blend, but I was in a traditional Brazilian bakery so wanted to try Brazilian coffee. The server pointed to the self-serve drip coffee machine, near the front door, which displayed a disclaimer that refills are NOT included with the low purchase of $1.79. The counter kiosk provided hot and cold milk dispensers with sugar. The coffee was roasty and alerted my brain instantly to wake up. The cup was brown with a black snap lid, imprinted with a non Casa Do Pao logo coffee theme which is much better than a bland white styro cup. On my next visit here, the beef empanadas will be on my radar. The gender assigned bathroom had a nice 3-tier wooden shelving unit with some greenery and extra toilet paper. The large dark flooring squares were augmented nicely by the matte black & white porcelain tile walls.

Casa do Pão delivered an incredible experience from start to finish. I tried the pão de queijo,…read moresteak sandwich, and chicken stuffed bread, and everything was absolutely delicious. The pão de queijo was perfectly soft and cheesy, while the steak sandwich was flavorful and satisfying. The chicken stuffed bread was also a standout, packed with great taste in every bite. What really made the experience special was the environment. It truly felt like I was transported back to Rio de Janeiro. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and authentic, which made the meal even more enjoyable. On top of that, everyone there was so lovely and welcoming, adding to the overall positive vibe. This is definitely a spot I'd highly recommend if you're looking for amazing Brazilian food and a great atmosphere.

Stopped by Night Owl Cookies and decided to try the red velvet cookie. It was served warm, had…read moregreat flavor, and was loaded with cream cheese frosting. What I liked most was that it wasn't overly sweet, which can sometimes be the case with red velvet desserts. It was rich without being too much. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and there were plenty of cookie options to choose from. I kept it simple this visit and stuck with the red velvet, and I'm glad I did. Definitely a great cookie and worth the stop.

While I understand that taste is subjective, the cookies we purchased were overall just average and didn't quite meet our expectations.

The Magic Cow in Coral Springs has a 4.8-star Yelp rating, and their sister store in Davie is apparently one of the top 10 ice cream shops in the entire United States. So naturally, I had to see if the local legend lived up to the hype. (Spoiler: it did. And then some.) The moment we walked in, I was hit with that nostalgic mix of sugar, laughter, and magic that says you're about to make a very good life decision. The owner greeted us like old friends -- warm, funny, and clearly passionate about what he does. You can tell every scoop that leaves that counter has been crafted with pride. Now, about the ice cream. I went with the Carrot Cake flavor -- and let me tell you, it wasn't just ice cream; it was an experience. Folded into it were ribbons of caramel and bits of pie crust that somehow made me rethink all my previous dessert choices in life. One bite in, and I'm pretty sure I saw colors brighter than usual. My wife went for a combo of Better Batter Cake Carnival and Chocolate Batter Better, and to call it "excellent" would be an understatement. This flavor pairing was pure joy in stereo. I'm pretty sure she stopped listening to me talk for a good five minutes, which is the ultimate compliment to any dessert. Bottom line: The Magic Cow isn't just living up to its reputation -- it's churning out happiness, one scoop at a time. If you haven't been, fix that immediately. Your taste buds will thank you, your diet will forgive you (eventually), and your inner child will do a happy dance.

Indulged in a brownie sundae here a few days ago. It was a nice treat and although the brownie…read morewasn't the best the ice cream itself is phenomenal. Light on the tummy & tastes entirely homemade and high quality. The owners are retiring and have an advertisement on the window selling this long running small ice cream shop. I hope whomever does acquire it, keeps the quality of the ice cream up to its current standard as well as preserves the quirky and quaint aesthetics inside. I implore you to experience it for yourself before they sell it, if in the area.
