Being that I did visit during a Yelp event, I also received a complimentary cookie. Honestly, I like these cookies more than Crumbl cookie! The cookies are moist and melt in your mouth. They are also "stuffed" with different frostings and toppings. If you're seeking a sugar rush, you'll definitely find it here!

It looks exactly like the other previous establishments with one exception: snack bags of Lays BBQ potato chips. Yep. You read that correctly. Bags of BBQ chips. We asked why they had them. Perhaps for those that don't like ice cream? Nope. People like to crush them up and put them on their ice cream. What the what?! There are 6 stations for frozen yogurt (I think) which means there are 18 possibilities (two flavors and 1 twist per station) however, there were 4 missing flavors and those that shared stations were weird except for one: chocolate and strawberry. There was a vanilla and a cheesecake twist. Yuck. And a pomegranate passionfruit mixed with Mango surprise. Gross. They just had a lot of blah flavors and nothing exciting. They did have a crapload of boba, mostly strawberry and some black ones, green ones and yellow ones. The labels were half on and half off so it was hard to read what they had. They did have a bunch of larger toppings like half sections of rice Krispy treats, large marshmellows, brownie bites, and more larger bites. There was Hershey chocolate sauce and a caramel sauce plus canned whipped cream (but it was warm sitting on top of the acrylic shelves holding the bags of chips). Yet the weirdest thing at Sweets Cafe was the gentleman working the register & scale. After each party paid for their froyo treats, he grabbed a napkin and then wiped each nozzle on the frozen yogurt machines. With the same napkin on all the machines. We watched him do this five times. A person would pay, he'd then grab a napkin and wipe the nozzles of each machine using that one napkin. Not very sanitary. He was quite diligent in this task. And then he'd use some cleaning agent to wile the counters and floors (again using napkins). The odor was pungent. Something you don't want to smell when indulging in any kind of sweets. I don't think this place will last. I wonder what will take its place.

The best part about spunky dunkers is that' it's open 24 hrs and I must say the midnight donuts …read more. I'd say a 3.5 to 4. They were delicious but we knew we weren't getting the best of the batch and also noticed people in the back making tons of donuts. So we decided to return for a 7 am donut run....... PERFECTION! The donuts were sooooo fresh and sweet and there were soooooo many flavors - the huge apple fritter was moist and our new favorite was the payday with vanilla, caramel icing and peanuts. But I think what really stood out was how long the donuts taste good after you buy them and Spunky Dunkers didn't disappoint. Get them home and in a ziploc bag or Tupperware and they tasted just as good 2 days later This place isn't a secret either and I see why. There were at least 10 people crowded around the cashier counter first thing in the morning for a fresh batch.

I would love to give 5 stars for just the donuts themselves but not for the service…read more I was introduced to the donuts by a coworker who brought them in to work and I fell in love with them so I decided to go out of my way and drive here to get some for my family. As soon as I came in through the door and said HELLO , the woman in front didn't reply or even look my way at all and the whole time I'm picking out donuts, she acted so impatient and unfriendly. Her actions made me feel anxious and angry and I just wanted to be done with the order and leave asap. No matter how good the donuts are, I would never be back after that kind of interaction. It's too bad that they sell such sweet wonderful donuts but have such a sour person as your first person to take care of you.

The server said no and that he had to pay. Which was surprising cause they are usually accommodating. So we stood in line for such a long time, he decided to buy the ice cream. I'm rating this a one because of the service how they were not willing to just put the side serve in a cup. We won't go to this place based on this lousy experience which is too bad cause we liked going here especially in the summer.

I have a tremendous sweet tooth but it really ruined the ice cream. DQ ice cream is too light to handle that much heavy syrup. Maybe no mint next time would be better but the price is also a little high for a lighter ice cream.

Absolutely disgusting place! It was literally a ghost town when I drove up there- like a scene out of a horror story! I walk in and there's no one there - ring a bell and a dude sitting on a chair by himself comes to the window with a horrendous attitude! He tells me he's the only one working in the entire drive thru and proceeds to leave! The dude never came back! Drove to this place for nothing - needs to be shut down! I'm telling you- check out this place for Halloween....SCARY!! read more

I come here in the mornings for their 99 cent large drink deal. Sometimes the drive thru is crowded and I noticed that ordering at the stalls is even slower then the drive thru. But the drinks are cheap and good which is all the reason to come here. Just do not go here if you are in a hurry. read more

It always seems to be a pretty decent time eating out here. The decor (inside and outside) looks…read morequite nice and gives a upscale vibe despite having a more casual menu. There is plenty of space in the entryway to stand around, though actual seating is limited. That being said, I can't recall ever having a horrible wait time if we came when it was busy. The hosts are good about getting people on the list and seating them at a reasonable pace. It's also pretty sweet to see the dessert counter at the front so you can see what treats they offer. As I stated previously, the inside looks nice and furnishing is well maintained. It definitely shows when they are rushed however, as the floors usually need to swept. The last time I went there was also crumbs on the napkin they placed on our table. The menus are big but they do have stuff for every palate to pick from. The free bread is alright, nothing too wild. The servers are always warm and welcoming, and very knowledgable of the menu. It can take a little while for the food to come out but it's worth the wait in my opinion. The crispy fried cheese is a little greasy, but quite tasty. It's a big portion but fulfilling for sure. The flatbread pizza was enjoyable as well, with a good crispy crust. My girlfriend also felt highly about the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl. She said it was quite flavorful and unique. We also agreed that the fries were a banger as well. Right amount of crispy and seasoning. For dessert, my go to is always the Oreo dream extreme cheesecake. 100% a must have for oreo lovers. Not too sweet but still hits well. So, a few minor kinks to work out but otherwise a worthwhile dining experience. Will always recommend as a good spot for comfort meals and family time, and great cheesecake.

The restaurant was spacious and absolutely beautiful! Since we were a party of 10, it took a while to gather orders but we started with some drinks and appetizers. My nephew and I decided on the Strawberry Spritz. It was refreshing and tasted like Summer in a glass, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We also ordered the Warm Crab Dip but we didn't care for it. It lacked any type of crab or seafood flavor and had a weird texture. We added salt/pepper and hot sauce and it still didn't taste good. As we waited for our entrees, we noticed how dirty our silverware was. My spoon was actually stuck to the napkin. Our server brought out more silverware but some of us just opted for plasticware. My Thai Lettuce Wraps were delicious, it's one of my "go-to" orders and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I tasted my mom's Shrimp & Chicken Gumbo. The chicken tasted like tofu and it didn't have any type of gumbo flavor, I didn't like it at all. My nephew ordered the Chilaquiles and I thought it was pretty good. Overall, we had a great time just being together to enjoy my dad but I wish we had a better experience. Our server wasn't very attentive and some of the food seemed to miss the mark.
