Guys I went to Italy. VV's is better. Seriously. Pasta…read moresalads oh my. I do feel their coffee could be better or at least a little more consistent. Sometimes it taste like just a cup of milk.

VV The Italian Experience located in Mt. Lookout is a casual Italian coffee shop offering espresso…read moredrinks, pastries, and classic meals. It's a family-run spot inspired by their grandfather's bakery and Italian culture, truly living up to their motto of being "not just a café, not just a restaurant, but an experience that is authentically Italian." We ordered the Crostone, an assortment of Italian breads featuring different toppings. One with fresh salmon cream and Asiago cheese, and another with roasted cherry tomatoes and stracchino, along with their Bufalina pizza. For drinks, we tried the Mokaccino Ferrero Rocher and their seasonal Arancia Nutella Latte. Everything was delicious and made for a great lunch. Definitely stop by and check them out for a unique café experience!

I came for the rose water pistachio waffles. They did not disappoint! They were light and floral,…read moreas I expected. They executed this wonderfully! Only thing is I wish they could make it gluten free. I got the Mira bowl in a kid size portion and had boiled eggs as an add on. Perfect portion! The bartender recommended the smaller size since I was getting waffles and I'm glad she made that suggestion. Lavender latte with oatmilk was light and delicate. Just what I was looking for. Nothing was too sweet and I enjoyed everything. The inside had a nice airy feel to it. They have a cute little kids corner filled with books and fun stuff for the little ones to stay busy while waiting on meals. They close at 3 so I recommend enjoying it for brunch/lunch!

Ambiance is a 4, very obvious it's the community place to gather. Seating is available at the bar…read morewhere there are baked goods like biscotti, mini muffins, chocolate chip cookies and banana bread are on display. Or you can be seated at a table in a large open dining area. Very community conscious with a ramp for wheelchair to get from main hostess area to the dining area. I was seated right away. Being visitor from VA Beach, I asked what's the recommended dish, the server suggested omelette. But I wasn't in the mood for omelette so I saw shakshuka. I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte. It was a 3 as you taste more the milk than the chocolate syrup. I also got their chocolate chip banana bread.

What an adorable coffee shop! I visited late morning on a Saturday. The shop was busy, but I was…read moreable to get my coffee to go in a reasonable amount of time. The barista that helped me was friendly and efficient. I tried the marshmallow iced latte. It was tasty, but I'm not sure it was worth $8, that price seemed a bit steep to me. I would like to come back and try something else!

Absolutely loved their coffee! I got the Banana Latte (a seasonal special), and it was amazing. I'm…read moreusually not a fan of artificial banana flavor, but since they make their syrups in-house, it tasted fresh and natural rather than overly sweet or fake. I visited on a Saturday morning, and it was very busy. The shop is cute and the coffee was definitely worth it, but seating was limited. Just keep that in mind if you're planning to stay and hang out on a weekend!

I came down to the Findlay market, and heard that I needed to try out a salted pretzel from Blue…read moreOven. Line was really long on Sunday morning, maybe 40 people deep. I stood in line and patiently waited until I got to the front. When I did, I was rewarded with possibly THE GREATEST SALTED PRETZEL OF MY LIFE. The only other one I can think of that comes close is Miller's Twist in Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. This pretzel was literally fresh out of the oven. The lady took the little pans/trays out of the oven, put the pretzel on the rack for like 10 seconds, and then boxed it up and handed it over to me. Damn near burned my hand by trying to take it out to take a picture lol. One bite in, and I knew this was one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. It was salty, buttery, chewy, crispy. A perfect soft pretzel. I definitely should have bought more than one. By themselves, I could have probably ate 5-6 of them, no joke. This thing was perfect! Will be dreaming about this one for awhile!

The soft pretzels here are delicious. We got them right out of the oven, so they were still warm…read moreand so soft. Be aware that this is a stall at the market, and therefore there is only seating outdoors.

This a place you grab and go, no places to sit down. It is small so no one wanted to stay in there…read moreanyways. Of course you have to pay to park near by. However, it is very simplistic menu, you can also get coffee there as well! The people there are very nice, and helpful! Ambiance was very minimalist, chill and just get the job done. The actual rolls are SOOO SOFT OMG DELICIOUS ENOUGH TO SPLIT OR JUST YOU

We arrived around 11:00 am on a Friday morning. There was only one person in front of us in line,…read morebut in the time that we were there several more people joined the line. They had 4 different cinnamon rolls to choose from. I decided to try a classic roll with cream cheese icing. There is no seating available, so we walked to Washington Park to eat there. The people in front of us ordered the iced Spanish latte, and it looked delicious. The cinnamon roll was soft and gooey in the best way. The icing didn't have as much of a cream cheese flavor as I expected, but it was still tasty. I would like to return and try one of their specialty flavors.
