You'll find the well stocked coolers filled with rotating flavors of decadent cheesecakes, an inviting atmosphere with cool decor and other tasty treats. There were several mini cheesecakes flavors to choose from. I chose 6 flavors for $20. My favorite flavor were the biscoff and crème brûlée. They even wrapped a complimentary red bow and gave me coupon to try a delicious cookie for FREE during my next visit. Don't forget to support Cayla, our local real estate agent and mom-entrepreneur.

Someone strolling down Ice Blocks on a random evening likely has two questions in mind: 1) Why is…read morethere a line out the door? and 2) What in the world are these ice cream flavors? For me, the line lives up to the hype. I can't think of a single ice cream parlor more creative than Salt and Straw. Some of the menu options sound absolutely absurd such as Melon + Prosciutto, Pear + Blue Cheese, and Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Despite the wackiness, they're doing something right with these flavors. I opted for their limited edition Strawberry Pretzel Salad. It has a salty crunch that brings out the sweetness of the strawberry ice cream. I also detected some cream cheese in there, which works really well! Can't wait to drop by again for their next lineup of limited edition flavors.

All of their ice creams are coconut milk based instead and the three I tasted were SO.DAMN.GOOD. My man ordered the salted caramel and it was delicious, but not what I was in the mood for that night. I was on the fence between the blueberry cheesecake and the peach cobbler. I really wanted a scoop of both, but I just wasn't that hungry. I decided on the peach cobbler, and I'm still dreaming about it. The sweet peaches, the essence of cream, and that buttery slightly salty crust. From the street front this place doesn't look like much but when you go in, there are a couple tables and a counter you can eat at and then there is a massive kitchen in the back. The girl at the front explained to me that they ship a lot of their products to other businesses in town. We will definitely return to this business.

The cakes, pies, cookies, and other treats are absolutely beautiful, seriously, some of them look like something you'd see featured on the Food Network. I tried the Black Forest cake, apple pie, and key lime cheesecake, and each one brought something different. The Black Forest cake was rich and decadent, the apple pie was classic comfort-food delicious, and the key lime cheesecake had that perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and tangy. With a display case like this, choosing just one might be the hardest part! Rex Tip: They also serve Gunther's Ice Cream, so take that slice of pie à la mode! Add a scoop on the side and turn dessert into a dino-sized treat. Come for the retro vibes, stay for the dessert case, and good luck leaving without taking something extra home! 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex!

Just left the diner. Came in with my brother and niece. My niece was at the counter getting the…read moremilkshake she ordered. The person she was interacting with was Noel "the Manager. " He was making small talk with her and he asked her if we were her family. She asked him which one he thought was her "PARENT." He replied that he thought I was her grandmother. I'm 54 years old and have a 30-year-old daughter and my niece is 25. I don't even know how that would be possible. I was right next to them sitting at a table with my brother so of course I heard, and I got up and I said what's up with this grandma stuff, and he said that he answered her question and told her that he thought I was her grandmother. Honestly, I felt completely insulted like you're not supposed to say things like that to your customers or even about your customers. I felt myself getting ready to go completely off on him, so I walked away and went to sit back down. He had the audacity to tell my niece some people can't handle the truth. It's so baffling to me that a manager would say something like that. I know employees sometimes say inappropriate things, but he should know better!! This was supposed to be a nice family outing and he ruined my night. Luckily I have confidence in myself and his comment didn't give me a complex or make me like I look old. It was also disappointing because I went in there specifically to get an eclair, which is normally a decent size. For some reason, it was the half of the size and the same price.

We also learned they have a ranch and sell meats and other products and they have daily activities throughout the week at this location which sounded like lots of fun! The wine was also very good! I bought a bottle of their Sauvignon Blanc to enjoy at home. I would definitely come visit again!

Like you have to go there when it's dark too just to admire that retro neon sign they have. When I went, the line looked longer than it was. The team inside is very efficient. We waited in what looked like a 30 min+ line for only 10 minutes. I got the toasted almond and Thai tea (whenever I see Thai tea ice cream I have to get it). The toasted almond wasn't my favorite, but the Thai tea was really good. Their ice cream has a great texture too that you just can't get from store bought. They have a pretty large selection of flavors so I'll be trying something else next time for sure.

However the coffee wasn't my favorite or as enjoyable for me. The Spanish latte wasn't sweet enough and the espresso taste was weak as well. Then, the mazapan latte was too sweet with hardly any espresso flavor.. which is unfortunate because I asked the cashier for their best recommendation prior to ordering and felt like their product knowledge wasn't in tune as I hoped. However, the employees were welcoming and attentive when needed and seemed to be okay with us eating the pastries we brought from a nearby storefront. Honestly if I would return, it'd be to try their juices or other fruit drinks.

This shop is located at the end of DoCo across from Sauced in the spot that was previously a Starbucks Reserve shop.Parking is available underneath DoCo in the city lot,with validation available from the business tenants of DoCo but with the abundance of street parking available,I just parked on the street. Upon walking in I knew I made the right choice that morning,I know it sounds cliche but that place is a vibe.They were playing solid Latin music,the decor inside was truly thought thru to convey a particular feel-it felt great in there,now I just had to hope the coffee and small bites,matched up to the ambience. This particular morning was pretty busy as there were like about 10 people in line when I got there and only 1 person taking orders plus the tables were at about 90% capacity but it wasn't hard to find a place to sit because the turnover for tables was really fast. We decided to try a few things that visit,I went with a Dulce de Leche latte"Grandote" size ($7.00) and the wife went with a similar sized Mexican Mocha ($7.00).We also decided to get some food,so ended up going with the Bacon,Egg,and Cheese breakfast sandwich($7.50) and also the Torta de Jamon ($15.00). Coffee was made pretty quickly but there was a slight wait for the food but didn't mind it too much as I can tell it was made very fresh as I got to watch the worker make my Torta-very glad it wasn't premade. I really loved my Dulce de Leche latte-gave me caramel macchiato vibes but just different enough,it was really good,I tasted the Mexican Mocha and it tasted exactly like one should taste,it's just not my particular preference,but I blame that on my palette not the craftsmanship,as the wife truly enjoyed it. As for the food I really liked the Bacon breakfast sandwich,was a solid value for what we got,I would for sure order it again if I just wanted a quick small bite.The Torta de Jamon I really really enjoyed,featuring ham with avocado,pickled jalapeños,pepper jack cheese,fresh tomato,queso fresco served on toasted bread-very tasty and fresh tasting-I would for sure order it again. That being said,the true star of the night when it comes to this visit was the place itself,I really enjoyed the ambience,the customers,the decor,I'm really glad this place exists and it's a welcome addition to the downtown Sacramento coffee scene-I look forward to returning.
