    Cute ice cream shop with so many flavors of ice cream and then coffee as well. There was a line out the door but it moved pretty quickly. Once we paid the wait wasn't too long either. Very cute and worth a visit if you're around the area.

    One of my favorites ice cream shops. I grew up around the area and try to stop by with my kids whenever we come down for a visit. They have a flavor for everyone and their scoops are generous. They always have a line to order, which always seems to go by pretty quickly. The inside is small with only a few tables to sit at, but outside there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy your ice cream- weather permitting. I love their apple pie ice cream and my goal is to try to 1937- 37 mini scoops for 19.37!

    Recently I decided to cut dairy from my diet, but I've been craving ice cream. I searched ice cream with dairy substitutes near me and The Plush Horse came up. I was a bit nervous about the taste of ice cream with no milk. But I'm here to tell you it was scrumptious! They have about 8 milk substitute/ vegan flavors. I chose my favorite, cookies & cream. The ice cream was made of coconut milk which gave extra flavor to my cookies & cream. A combination I otherwise may not have thought would be so delicious. The ambiance was cute. The color pink and ice cream flavors everywhere. They of course have adult size tables but I found the tables for the kiddos too cute. The service was good. There is a cashier who takes your order, to keep the line moving and worker's preparing the orders. It got pretty crowded and I overheard a few customers say how much they love this place. The regular ice cream must be a hit too!

    a cup of ice cream

    My fiancee took me here. She said she's been visiting this place since she was in high school. It's definitely not in a location where I would expect an ice cream place to be. It's at a busy 4-way stop intersection. Definitely be careful crossing the street if you have kids. The ice cream place looks like it's in an old house from the late 1800s or early 1900s. Once you're inside, you'll see that they have horse stuff everywhere (The Plush Horse duh) They have so many flavors of ice cream. They also have shakes and some smaller candies. They have ice cream cones, waffle cones, and 3 different cup sizes. I got a large cup of cookie dough ice cream. Since it was so hot outside (they do have plenty of outside seating), we ate inside. The prices are reasonable, and the ice cream is delicious. From watching all the people coming and going, I can tell they have been coming back for generations. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. 5/5

    I've been ordering ice cream cakes here for my kids' birthdays for several years now, they always do a great job. This one was the best yet. My son wanted a dinosaur rainbow Christmas tree cake. My husband used Chatgpt to generate the picture and we sent it to plush horse for the edible image. The result was amazing. Thank you Plush Horse for an amazing cake!

    The absolute best rum Raisin sundae ever!

    I was craving drinking chocolate, and couldn't find a place until I saw that this place had a shot…read moreof chocolate. 4.5/5 Shot of dark chocolate which is great. It's not too sweet, and it's the right richness. 2.5/5 Chocolate lava cake was really strange. The cake had a strange grainy texture. Maybe it was old? The chocolate on top of it was good and so was the vanilla gelato, but those come with other desserts as well, so my rating is really more about the cake. 4/5 Lotus crepe was good. This is huge and a perfect size to share. The lotus is spread throughout the crepe--it's crumbly and yummy. And then this is topped with three melted chocolates- milk mainly and some white and dark. 5/5 cardamom chai was perfect. You can really taste the spices, which I love. And they don't add sugar or other sweeteners. 4/5 mocha - my partner had this, so I didn't get to try it, but he enjoyed it but felt it was on the small side.

    This place has some incredible desserts. I am a bit shocked at how expensive everything is though…read more On our last visit, my husband had the Banana Cinnamon Pouch, a crepe stuffed with Melt n Dip special cream, banana and cinnamon all topped with Milk, Dark, and White Belgian Chocolate ($17.99). I got the Strawberry Dubai Cup ($14.99) that wasn't listed anywhere on their menu, but I had seen it on their Instagram. My cup was mostly cold, and the chocolate was firm - I think this would have been better if the toppings were more melty. Service was a bit slow, even though they weren't terribly crowded. There is ample seating inside. This is a good stop for indulgent desserts, but the price point would discourage me from returning too frequently.

    Came to the grand opening to try a few things…read more The staff are wonderful. Very knowledgeable and eager to help in any way they can. Great customer service. The ambiance is nice. I like that the ordering area is right in front of you when you walk in, and that the boards with menu items are above. Off to the right are pastries and to the left is the gelato. Along the left wall are some two tops and to the right are some four tops. So, you can come here in a group, or on your own. The food: I asked for a tester of the strawberry cheesecake gelato. This was good. A little bit icey, but good flavor. My partner ordered a scoop of the chocolate chip in a cone and enjoyed it. I thought his was a little icey as well, but again had good flavor. There was a picture of a bagel with avocado and tomato on google maps, that I wanted to try. I asked what it was bc I didn't see it on the menu and they said it was the avocado toast. They offered to put it on a bagel, and I asked if cream cheese could be added. This bagel is fantastic. It's so fresh. And you can see how perfect the avocado was; it was perfectly ripe. They also added some olive oil and her , but they left off the feta and tomato. I think those two toppings would have made this epic. Nonetheless, it was yummy. The drinks: I ordered a chai tea latte because they said they made their chai syrup in house. When I tasted it, I realized they made it in water first, rather than in milk, and it wasn't spicy like a traditional chai. I could taste cinnamon, but I didn't taste cloves, cardamom, black pepper, anise, ginger, etc. This was okay. Next time I might try one of their tea bags because they have a large selection. My partner ordered a mocha. He said it was good. Parking: They have a shared lot out front and we were able to find a space without issue. Overall impression: I intend to come back to try more of their food items and other teas. The people who work here are wonderful and the location is great.

I'm not a huge fan of eating outside. Cuz you know. Pollution from the cars and bugs and what not. But cuz this was an UPPER level. Just so good. The customer service was sweet. If I'm being completely honest, they're not quite as hospitable as the other places we've been in their surrounding area but I think those other places are far above what is expected. They do have a lot for parking.

The staff were extremely friendly and more than happy to walk us through their various options. They even offered us a free piece of soft knafeh when I expressed curiosity about it, it was delicious. The pastries themselves are really good. They have the viral fruit shaped pastries and traditional middle eastern desserts. The standout to me was their knafeh. Cheesy, with hints of rosewater and other spices. Some of the best I've ever had. Definitely give them a visit!

I checked the prices online on their website and that is not what we were charged. I made an effort to allow them to correct this by giving them a call, no one answers the phone. Then when I took the tray out to put in the oven I realized a corner was burnt. So now on top of being overcharged, a part of knafeh was burnt prior to me placing it in the oven. I usually have no issues when I am eating in person, but sadly this experience was not the same. This is really upsetting and left us without a resolution. I like to support businesses that have integrity and care about the service and products they are offering their customers. Zmzm sweets I personally feel does not care about customers experience nor provides a way to remedy problems. All we are left to do is leave a review and hope we can bring attention to the issues that they should care about resolving. Looking over some other customer reviews I am very doubtful that anyone will follow up in the odd chance someone does I look forward to addressing the issues at hand.
