    Soft serve on a Sunday afternoon
    Dodd D.

    I am a sucker for the 1950's era ice cream shops. So mom and pop. I like the eclectic food menu mix that backs up these vestiges of a by gone time. The Twin does not disappoint. It has been around for decades. When you ask locals no one gives me an exact date. Also when you ask about the name you get different responses as well. Some say that it is named for the twin cities of Irvine and Ravenna others says that there were a lot of twins in the neighborhood when it first opened. My money is on the former as opposed to the latter story. Regardless the place is a local staple. Every August for years I have made an annual pilgrimage to the twin. I go for the soft serve ice cream. In years past I have gotten the cones. This year I went with the cup. I am getting older and it is just to hard to eat it before the ice cream melts. (Not a fan of the brain freeze if you eat to fast) The place is carry out and I usually eat in my car or lean against the car and strike up a conversation. Glad these old places persist. One of the things I look for in these old restaurants is cleanliness and maintenance of the building. On my visit today everything looked clean and well maintained. The Twin always has a steady business during my August visits. Not sure about the rest of the year. I have heard that the place has the same chili dog recipe that it had when it opened. When in the Irvine/Ravenna area stop by The Twin get you a cone (or cup) of ice cream with a chili dog. If it is a pretty day in August I may see you. I will be the old guy leaning against his car with a smile on his face big enough to transport you back to your childhood.

    You can honestly get better food elsewhere, but you'll be hard pressed to find better soft serve ice cream and milkshakes anywhere in town.

    Not sure how to start this review. Firstly, I am baffled by the name of the business, which leaves…read moreone to assume there is bread to be had. Not the case. You have to pre-order, and she only makes a round or a loaf. And that is what I did. I ordered a round, expecting something like a "boule", a round loaf of crunchy bread. I pick up an anticipated yummy round of bread to make sandwiches that same day. Instead, I get a flat, round kind of bread. I accept without anything being said. (But knowing in my head this is completely wrong, but maybe she misunderstood what I wanted) I go to my car and decide at the last second, to go back in, told her what I thought I was getting, telling her and having to explain to a "baker" what a "boule" is. So, I took the bread home, showed my husband and he was in awe as to what we paid for (7.25!). I opened it up, she had wrapped the bread in a PLASTIC WRAP!!!!? What kind of baker wraps a fresh loaf of bread in PLASTIC? You're supposed to put in PAPER! ANYHOW, the bread was as IF it had been baked a day or two before. Did not smell like a good bread, but like a loaf of bread you would get at Walmart. I call her and tell her what the problem is she says to bring it back and she will return my money. Thank you, that was kind. But when I DO return it, her excuse was... "I guess it didn't rise enough as bread has its own mind"!!!! First of all, if you thought the bread did not rise correctly, WHY did you sell it to me? Secondly, don't make dumb remarks like that. If you knew the bread was not what it should have been, call me and tell me that you have to remake the loaf, I would have liked that better than to get an awful loaf of bread. As for the croissants, they should be crispy on the outside and soft and airy and pillowy on the inside and taste of butter. These are like rolls!! With a bit of butter baked in. Subpar. I have been to several bakeries overseas, and have a friend who owned a bakery. This is NOTHING compared to a true bakery. Sorry, not sorry....

    The four of us checking out Berea wandered in for lunch thinking there would be all kinds of breads…read moreto choose from. Your choices are a croissant sandwich with ham, turkey or tuna. We all chose turkey. It was a very flaky buttery croissant-A+. Saw pictures of Humboldt county and assumed she was from there. No actually, San Francisco. Husband tried to make small talk and asked about whether she's ever made sourdough bread. She became very agitated at his question and snappy- her angry San Fran roots came out. Did not fit the friendly, cheerful vibe of Berea.
