Holy scoop, Spinklz just ruined every other ice cream place for me…read more I rolled in for the lava cake and left wondering if I'd accidentally stumbled into a dessert dimension. Warm, gooey chocolate center that basically hugged my soul, surrounded by ice cream that tasted like it was made by people who actually care. The workers? Absolute legends. Friendly, funny, and somehow made me feel like a regular even though I was just a random guy with chocolate on my face. Everything was just... great. Annoyingly, perfectly. Spinklz, you've been warned -- I'm coming back.

From Texas, first time at Sprinklz. Here are some thoughts:…read more -Service is great! I arrived with a big group of around 20 people. 1 college aged girl working the counter. She got us through in about 15 minutes! -This place has some really cool flavors and combos. I ordered the peach cobbler shake, and it was so sweet and so good I couldn't believe it : ) The cobbler flavor is ridiculous! And the cone pieces are a game changer. Give it a try! Highly recommended!

The young ladies behind the counter were extremely patient and helpful.

Went tonight 10 minutes before closing and ordered strawberry rhubarb and apple crumble pie shakes…read morefor my kids. There were two girls working- probably in their late teens to early 20's- one behind the counter and the other one was cleaning. The girl behind the counter said there was no more apple thus could not do the orders, then the cleaning girl approached the counter and was pointing to the pie we wanted and told the other girl there was still a couple slices left of the apple crumble pie. The other girl working the counter started whispering something to the other girl while looking at us sort of giggling. Just a side note, I had a feeling the counter girl did not want to do anymore work since there was about 10 minutes prior to closing time. The counter girl opened their freezer and said "I'm sorry, but we're out of ice cream for the shakes, but we can make you pie scream." My 18 year old daughter and I looked at each other, and I think we were both thinking the same thing. I told the girl behind the counter "forget it" and we walked out of there. On our way out I said to my kids out loud, "sorry guys, I don't think the workers want to stay any longer than they have to." It is obvious that if there is ice cream for the pie scream, there IS also ice cream for the shakes: ice cream goes with both! I wasn't born yesterday, and they could've just told me to my face- and I would've been okay with it- "sorry we're about to close and we don't have time to make your orders", instead of making up some bs about "not having ice cream" when clearly they did. I would've totally been fine had she been honest about having to close soon. I just don't like being lied to. Regardless, if the workers do not want to serve customers 10 minutes before closing, perhaps think about locking the front doors so no customer comes in. Or, put the sign that reads "closed". Customers are not idiots, are more likely forgiving if you're honest, and they're the reason why a place exists and the workers get paid. One star for tonight's customer service only.

First, I want places like this to succeed, I really do. Local bakeries and coffee shops are some of…read moremy favorite places but I can't give very high marks to Amaya's. I've been here several times and each time I left thinking it would be my last. My intention is not to dump on a small business so I'll do my best to offer a sincere critique. Ambiance: No music, mostly empty shelves, sparse selection of baked goods, feels a bit empty--like they're going out of business. Any one of these could be overlooked but combined they make for a poor experience. Food/drink: Coffee is on par with what's around here. You won't find specialty roasts or fancy techniques, but it's good. If you're looking for fancy-pants coffee you'll have to head to Pelican Bay bookstore in Anacortes. The baked goods I've tried are, unfortunately, underwhelming. I typically go for their gluten free options and have found them to have textures that are too grainy with flavors on the bland side. The cookies are fine, the gluten free scones are quite bad--flavorless, super dense and hard, not crumbly, kinda sticky. This was the only baked good I've ever tossed. I have yet to try their pies or cakes. Their regular cookies are pretty good but are a bit pricey for the size. Staff: The staff seem a little awkward and shy. I prefer a friendly customer experience. I've only had one visit here where the staff made an attempt at small talk. Usually they stay out of sight. Someone else might like this, it's just not for me. Final thoughts: I'm giving Amaya's 3 stars not because I think they've necessarily earned them, but bc I want them to succeed and I've only been here 4 or 5 times so I don't have a robust experience sample. I hope they do well and would still encourage a visit. We need more small businesses. I would, however, discourage the gluten free scones. Avoid them at all costs

I had the kolache for the first time and I loved them for the bread softness. I asked to warm the sausage kolache in the oven and it tasted better. Then we shared the Marion berry kolache! Yummy!! Ellie (sp.?) served us nicely. The place has few tables to sit in and enjoy the goodies while we savor them and the peacefulness of the moment. I am always drawn to the aroma of the freshly baked bread and danish.

Not only do I look forward to the gardens right next door but I crave the menu at flower house cafe. I am quite obsessed with the London fogs and the variety of flavored tea bag options they have. I have yet to try a different drink but my man enjoyed their ice caramel latte. But the bakery items is truly where they shine. All of the pastries I have tried have been phenomenal. My top favorite are the peanut brown butter cookie, the almond croissant, the ham and cheese croissant, and the raspberry cheese croissant. Every time I've gone the staff has been very helpful, welcoming, and joyful. The environment is such a vibe and the surrounding plants and water features are the icing on the cake.
