Had to call a few times to actually get someone on the phone---but totally worth it! Had the #2 chocolate with chocolate crème frosting with chocolate chips in between the layers. Super light and not too sweet. Oreos decorated the top with chocolate ganache drizzled over the edges. The cake box was very high-end and tied with pretty ribbon. Miss Sugar provided the cutest set of plastic cutlery and paper serving plates with the cake. Will definitely order again if in the Purdue U area.

Love that Indiana has a Mango Mango! Tried mango sticky rice for the first time, and enjoyed it…read more The mango tastes so fresh and was the perfect sweetness. However, even after putting the cream, the rice was still very dry. The vanilla ice cream paired well with the mango. The brown sugar cream puffs tasted exactly like brown sugar but parts of it tasted a little burnt. There were lots of seats, and many people were playing board games or chatting. It's a nice place to hang out and get dessert. You can self-order on an iPad, which was nice. There's limited street parking, so you'll probably have to park somewhere else and walk over.

I wish they had some sort of sticky rice or mochi topping for the bingsoo because I love having something chewy, but it was still good. The Korean hot dog hit, but I wish they were a little more generous with the sauce. The servers were really nice, but they serve everything at once so if you have a big order you'll be waiting for a long time. There's a lot of seating and some big tables for large parties.

Budges Drive-In Ice Cream in Lafayette is a true local legend, drawing massive lines with good…read morereason. Their soft serve ice cream is nothing short of amazing, and the fresh, cooked-to-order hamburgers are a perfect savory counterpart; the barbecue burger, in particular, is an absolute must-try. My wife raves about their frozen treats, expertly blending soft serve with cookie dough and M&M's. It's clear this place is a gem when both loyal locals and curious tourists consistently flock here. The building itself, an iconic fixture in Lafayette since the 1960s, holds a rich history as one of the area's first drive-ins, adding an extra layer of nostalgia to every delicious bite. Despite the consistently long wait of about 15 minutes, the efficient service, rated 8/10, keeps things moving, ensuring you get your treats swiftly. Parking is surprisingly easy, a huge plus for a popular spot. While the energetic atmosphere (9/10) is undeniable, it's worth noting that Budges doesn't cater specifically to young children, lacking highchairs and perhaps better suited for older kids or adults looking for a classic drive-in experience. I will be back!

They got more than 30 flavors and lot of items to choose from. They dont offer samples, but the scoops are generous. We can see lot of locals out there. The store is well maintained and clean. The staff is friendly and patient. It is 15 to 20 minutes' drive from Lafayette hotel area but definitely worth the drive. Sufficient parking shared with other shops on this small strip mall. They have indoor and outdoor seating too. Perfect stop for a hot day and grab an ice cream!! Definitely worth trying this spot dont miss out.

The food quality has gone down terribly, all of the sorbet is now made from artificial junk. The beef has been switched to the cheapest commercially available and is chewy.

Had some different Mexican foods in addition to burritos and tacos. The Cheese and beef pupusa- thick griddle cake made with cornmeal and stuffed with cheese and chicken. Also served with picked cabbage (sorry no photo). Was great, but thick tasting due to the cornmeal. Liked it enough that I would order again. The sopas were also very tasty and I would order again. The tacos were a great price at $2.99 each, sorry forgot to take photo- my crew was hungry. Ice cream for dessert- $3.50 landed us 3 scoops of homemade ice cream. They also have a variety of fruit drinks and shaved ice desserts with fruit. I would definitely recommend this place for hungry students as it's near Purdue University.
