Service was top notch with friendly folks greeting you the moment you enter the doors. Our bartender was so sweet and so welcoming. Had me a $10 Paloma cocktail that was just right and went to town on dessert. Everything was just delicious. Fresh made whip cream, perfectly balanced sweetness with the desserts and cute atmosphere. Loved my first time here and it won't be my last!

Bittersweet has amazing desserts and drinks. I've been several times and each time I enjoy what…read moreI've had. A solid go-to is their s'mores sundae which is sooo good! The chocolate brownie is thick and rich, but not too sweet, and the marshmallow cream is divine, especially with the ice cream. A lot of their drinks and gin based, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I always find something I can enjoy. The service is great and relatively quick, and everyone I've met there is kind and willing to help. The inside is a bit small, so smaller crowds are better and it does tend to get crowded later in the evening and on weekends. The outside street sitting area is nice too and hopefully will be fully fixed soon. Overall a great places to stop for drinks and desserts after a nice meal! And the menu rotates seasonally so you'll always have the chance to try something new!

There were alot of different textures so it was a bit confusing to eat. You did receive a really large quantity which plenty for 2-3 people. Service: they were friendly and helpful with explaining items. Location: located next to Perry steakhouse and located across Crabtree valley mall. There is a parking garage for your vehicle. Ambiance: super bright and colorful. Had indoor and outdoor seating. They had a cotton candy machine in the back which seemed to do different shapes however it wasn't working when we went.

I got the coconut bar double dipped in dark chocolate and topped with fruity pebbles and it was Amazing! My boyfriend got the s'mores one, and I definitely stole a bite... no regrets. Everything tasted fresh, the place was spotless, and the staff was really friendly. They have indoor & outdoor seating which was perfect. Way better than your usual old ice cream cone.

This spot is located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, so parking is mostly going to be street parking and there are a few parking decks nearby. I ended up getting their version of an affogato with vanilla bean ice cream. It was delightful! You really can't go wrong with an affogato. They were quite busy for a Monday night and so it took a little bit to get our ice cream but there is seating inside and outside of the shop, so you can relax while you wait.

The flavor selections are unique, and the quality of ingredients are fresh and top notch. I am always partial to anything chocolate or coffee flavored, so my go to is the Oreo coffee flavor. I've also tried their sundaes, and I appreciate that it's not the typical sundae. You can get your scoop of choice, plus a topping and sauce of choice. If you stop by at a time when it's not super busy, the staff have the extra time to help you decide what to get (and typically you can sample up to two flavors). So worth the repeat visits!

Have you ever had corn flavored ice cream? Probably not. I tried it at Andias and the taste was…read moreamazing! The menu offered a wide variety of flavors and I was so happy to sample this one and then get a full scoop. The service was very friendly and the girls behind the counter were happy to offer samples.

I think the price is a little ridiculous considering they're not making the ice cream in house. I also looked up blacktap prices in nyc (the original crazy shake) and it was less expensive than here. If you get a milkshake, you get to keep the glass jar it comes in. They make that process convenient by having a washing station and takeout bags. I was also shocked at the service. There was only one girl working in the front and she looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there. Really brought the excitement of trying this place down. I think this place is pretty average but there's room for improvement.

The shop was very Clean, quiet, and had many types of cinnamon rolls on display. They so sounded so good. I decided on the mimosa flavor and it did not disappoint! It was about the syst of my hand and loaded with the stuffy whipped topping, strawberry pieces, and orange chunk. The tops were being made fresh so it was a short wait of only about 8 minutes. The cinnamon roll prices start from about $8 and go up from there. They also have mini rolls, roll cakes, random nature's goods, and some juice drinks. They let me know they are a vegan bakery. I couldn't tell any difference from a vegan treat or non vegan, but I know good from not good, and this was good!

First, since they are located in a congested area, finding on street parking is a bit of a challenge. Also, be aware that they have a "cash" policy during lunch hours which isn't indicated on their website. I was unaware of this policy until we saw the sign on the front door upon our arrival. When you first walk into their establishment, they have prominently displayed a sign to be sure to tip their staff. A bit unprofessional in my opinion! In addition, they have a large tip jar on the counter where you place your order, I guess in case you missed their other tipping sign! We placed an order for 3 burgers with fries and 3 iced teas which came to almost $62. The food was fine but nothing exceptional for the price! Due to the lettuce and other produce issues currently going on, I requested no lettuce or tomato but instead to add pickles. When the burger arrived to the table it literally had 1 small pickle chip sitting in the center of the burger! Is there a pickle shortage I am not aware of? My two family members had also asked to have the lettuce and tomato removed yet one of their burgers still came with both of those ingredients on the burger! On a positive note, the music they played was enjoyable and the photos displayed on the wall were a nice touch. Finally, one of the employees came to our table to ask us to leave so they could mop the floor! I was unaware they closed at 2:00, which was my error in not paying attention to the lunch hours on the website. However, I think they could have been more professional in letting us know their lunch hours were ending! We arrived shortly after 1:00 p.m. and mentioned to the guy taking our order that it was our first time there. It would have been a great customer service courtesy if he had mentioned they would be closing at 2:00 so we had the heads up to pay attention to the time, or we could have decided to go elsewhere so we weren't on a time limit. I don't plan to return for the above mentioned reasons and won't personally recommend them to my family or friends. However, if you choose to go, I hope your experience is more positive and that my review will help to eliminate the negative experiences I had during my one and only visit to Hayes Barton Cafe' & Dessertery!
