Decided to try this spot because Handel's had a long line on a Sunday night. So, went inside and…read morewas greeted right away. Service was fast and friendly. The bad: This ice cream is way over hyped and IMO way OVER priced. But, that's just me. Everyone has a different taste, so don't get offended. I do recommend this spot because service is TOP NOTCH! I even gave them a good tip, but for a basic milk shake and a "Like it" size scoop of ice cream is not worth $21.... I could have spend that amount on some really good ice cream at Leatherby's. Anyhow, this is just my opinion and maybe just maybe Cold Stone should tone down on the pricing on a shake that tasted just like a McDonald's one. $4 extra for two strawberries, scoop of nuts and little bit of caramel topping with the shake already costing $9? Nah....... I'm good.

Finally a place where we can say "yes, choose what you want " to my daughter!…read more We found Caring Kitchen about 6 months ago, and have now been a weekly or biweekly frequent of the Rancho store, and occasionally stop by the Orangevale location. My daughter is allergic to everything, soy, dairy, egg, fish & shellfish. She can safely eat out at 4 places, and Caring Kitchen is one of them. We stop by every time there is a birthday party to pick up a cupcake so she can be included with her peers. We stop by for fun, we stop by because everyone deserves to be able to go to a store and say pick what you want. Now, for those of you who are like us and are worried about some cross contamination, Rancho does have nuts and soy. We have never had an issue with cross contamination with soy, everything is clearly labeled, and the team does a great job confirming any allergy's. I would double check depending on your nut severity, but many things seem to be pre-wrapped for this reason. The other location is even more allergy free (nut and soy free). I cannot reccomendation this company more, you will pay for the quality, but also for the safety, amazing taste and everything else that comes with a great bakery.

I've been here twice and both times were great. If you need desserts that are allergen-friendly but…read morestill taste as good as allergy-filled desserts, this place is for you. The entire establishment is gluten free and vegan, so you aren't allowed to bring in outside food (no cross contamination allowed). Gotta keep things safe for those with severe allergies. The other location is GF and vegan and also nut-free. When I just went this last time, I got 3 items and they were all super yummy. 1. Cookie dough loaded cookie 2. Chocolate cake slice 3. Fauxstess cupcake Even if you have zero allergies, come here and support your local small business. I promise you'll love it.

Layout was awkward but just walk straight from the door to the counter. Decor was cute with books and florals. I really wouldn't mind coming back with a friend over Turkish coffee and baklava. There were a couple of staff keeping busy and answering questions about the display case goodies. As for finally giving in to that hype, I have nothing to really compare it to. Dubai chocolate is unique and the filling can be addicting.

I got the bites in the style of "Mom's Apple Pie" which cranked the deliciousness up a notch even more (warm soft apple slices and caramel drizzle that's not overly rich). I also grabbed a strawberry shortcake cup from the freezer case. Cake part was a little dry and a little heavy-handedness on the strawberry syrup. Not bad if you have a hankering for some strawberry shortcake though. Lady at the counter was super sweet. Overall great neighborhood treat spot in the area!

We finally made our way from Rocklin to try out Urban Desserts. And now I'm wondering why we…read moredidn't come sooner!!! The place is super cute! We walked in to be welcomed by the owner. He was super nice and helpful being it was our first time there. There is definitely something for everyone, from sweet to savory, hot and cold. Frozen yogurt, shakes, smoothies, waffles, crepes, cake, cookies, frozen cheesecake, frozen chocolate covered bananas, and so much more. I decided on a Coffee Affogado with Hazelnut. It was absolutely delicious. The perfect amount of coffee, frozen yogurt and sweet hazelnut... 10/10. My oldest ordered a Peach Smoothie. It was sweet and refreshing with chucks of fruit. Absolute perfection. My youngest decided on vanilla frozen yogurt with strawberry popping boba as her topping. He put tons of toppings which made for one happy girl. Next time we decided we need to try a crepe, frozen cheesecake on a stick and the strawberry shortcake cup in the fridge. My girls and I highly recommend checking this place out for all your sweet tooth cravings!

I finally tried the taro drink--it was just okay, nothing I'd order again. I got it with low sugar…read moreand was glad to try it once, but it didn't stand out. What I really come here for are the taro buns. They're the best thing on the menu--very soft, fluffy, and consistently good. I'm always looking for taro items, and the big buns are definitely where this place shines. I also picked up cookies for my son (brownie cookie, and macadamia), but we didn't like them. They tasted mostly like sugar, were very hard, and felt like they were missing flavor. Their coffee is good, especially the Vietnamese coffee. Service could be friendlier--it doesn't feel very personal or welcoming. The Rancho Cordova location is in a large shopping center with plenty of parking, but the area itself feels a bit sketchy. Overall, a few standout items, but the experience could be warmer and more consistent.

Was at lunch im the area and decided to look up Boba spots near, and came across 8Teas Bubble…read more Located off of Mather Field Road and around the corner (not literally but close enough) to the Mather VA Hospital. Sits this small Boba spot in a small off road location. I stopped in to get a Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba, and saw 8Teas served a variety of drinks and also served assorted Macarons. They also have an assortment of fruit slush drinks with the flavor popping Boba and jellies. Drink was great, and just over $8. Not sure if that the going price at other Boba spots I've gone to but it's probably around there...I'll have to check in the future, lol. But would definitely come back if in the area and looking for a good Boba drink!

We ordered a "velvet" (taro+thai tea) with boba and a strawberry milk with strawberry boba. Also ordered a fruity pebbles macaron and a strawberry cheesecake macaron. First of all, the drinks were delicious. Cold and creamy and not 90% ice which was a huge plus. I felt like we got more drink than ice and I highly appreciate that. The strawberry milk drink tasted like it was mixed with real strawberry pieces. The velvet drink was the perfect blend of taro and Thai tea. All in all, both had great flavor. My only complaint, the size of the drink- it's pretty small. But it's also about normal for these kinds of drinks so it's to be expected. My daughter liked the macaron cookies (they are a favorite of hers). I've never been a fan of those kinds of cookies but I tried them and they were tasty. Of all the ones I've tried, they definitely make top 2. We will definitely be back.

First let me start by saying... FROYO!!…read more I'm a big fan of frozen yogurt, and when the flavors and toppings are this stacked, I'm basically a kid in a candy store. Ambiance: 7/10 It's a yogurt shop, so don't expect much in terms of decor... but honestly, that's not what we're here for. The focus is the froyo. They've got some indoor seating along the wall and a small aarea in the back, enough to chill if you're not taking it togo. Service: 5/10 It's a self serve place, so interaction is minimal. Only reason I'm knocking it down is because it took a while for someone to come out from the back when I needed a sample cup. Once I had that, I was good to go. Food: 10/10 I sampled about 6 different flavors (zero shame), and settled on cheesecake and chocolate raspberry truffle....SO good. I went full dessert mode and topped it with cheesecake bites (a must for me), cookie dough bites, brownies, cherries, you get the picture. It was glorious, and I had leftovers for a second round later. Thanks, Yogurtland, for being loaded with options and not skimping on the good stuff. I'll definitely keep coming back for my froyo fix.

3.5 STARS i've been…read moremeaning to try yogurtland since it's such a popular place for froyo. it was set up the same as a typical froyo shop, with plenty of options to choose from - more than most of the local family-owned shops. there was plenty of seating inside when my boyfriend and i went, and it seemed pretty lively in the evening. they offered small cups at the counter to try some samples, and service was what you would expect from the counter. - plain tart (4.5/5): classic tart flavor, like a tangy greek yogurt but sweeter. very yummy! - french vanilla NSA (4/5): very classic vanilla and creamier than the others, which i liked - dutch chocolate (3.5/5): definitely tasted like chocolate, but i didn't like it as much as chocolate froyo from other stores. it just wasn't as creamy as the vanilla, and the texture was almost icy - fresh strawberry (4/5): on the icier end, but i liked the strawberry flavor. it tasted like a strawberry yogurt popsicle! - toasted coconut (4.5/5): i liked the strong coconut flavor and creamier texture. it tasted exactly as expected - cheesecake (3/5): i actually really enjoyed the plain ny cheesecake flavor, but it was just too subtle. i wish it was stronger - rocket pop sorbet (2/5): it did have the same flavors as a rocket pop, but it tasted so much more artificial... and rocket pops are already artificial. the icy texture worked for the sorbet though - alphonso mango tart (4.5/5): the classic tart mixed with mango. i really enjoyed this version of the tart flavor, and the mango came through nicely to sweeten the yogurt. this was probably my favorite flavor! - pumpkin pie (1/5): there was way too much pumpkin spice flavoring, which made it overwhelming. it also tasted very artificial to me yogurtland offered most of the basic topping options, including a variety of fruit, mochi, peanuts, chocolates, candies, cereals, and cookies. they were missing my favorite fruit topping, bananas, and it would've been nice if they offered more peanut butter-related things, like peanut butter chips, although i didn't really mind. there were definitely enough options! overall, i thought yogurtland was alright. the standard and quality was as expected from a chain. i felt like yogurtland's yogurts were on the icier end and i prefer creamier yogurts, so it could also be personal preference. i think that yogurtland is a good, basic, and reliable option for froyo, and i would come here if my local mom-and-pop shop was closed.
