Ended up at Cook Out near midnight on a weeknight. I was hungry and it was one of the few places…read moreopen late. Only the drive thru was open, and there was a pretty significant line. The menu is a bit overwhelming. They have a lot of options, and the combos are not numbered. You choose a tray, a main, two sides, and a drink. I opted for a double burger with everything on it, with jalapeno cheese fries and white cheddar cheese bites for sides. I upgraded the drink to a chocolate shake. They were pretty quick. I got my food from the drive thru very quickly. The burger was surprisingly good. The bag advertised the food as "cooked outdoors style" and that burger tasted like a burger bought at the grocery store, cooked over a flaming grill. The fries were a bit soft, but they were well salted, and covered in standard cheese sauce and fresh jalapeno. White cheddar cheese bites were tasty, but they didnt stretch like a mozzarella stick. The chocolate shake i ordered was super thick, creamy, and delicious. It's a simple burger, simple fries, simple shake, and it's cheap. And sometimes, simple and cheap is all you need. Definitely worth a visit.

Stopped by Handel's in Morrisville with my two kids for a sweet treat, and it did not disappoint!…read moreThe variety of flavors is impressive, with so many options that it was hard to choose. We decided on ice cream sandwiches, and they were absolutely delicious. The ice cream tasted fresh and creamy--not like it had been sitting in a freezer for too long--and the cookies were soft and flavorful. The quality really stood out. Great service, great ice cream, and a perfect outing with the kids. We'll definitely be back to enjoy another sweet treat and try more flavors!

The inside was rather spacious and there were some seats in the back for people to do work or study. I found the service to be timely on the day I went. I got the Rainbow Fresh Fruit Tea. It tasted like the name: very fruity with some passionfruit jelly at the bottom. I did get the drink at 70% sweetness, but it tasted like 100% sweetness. Next time, I would get 50% sweetness or less because it was too sweet for me. I did not get the rolled ice cream here, but I am sure it would have tasted amazing as I have gotten it at another location before. Overall, a solid spot for desserts and drinks.

The ambiance is calm and relaxing with a dent of brown sugar. The ceremonial grade Uji Matcha was the best that I've had outside of Kyoto, hands-down. Additionally, the milk foam on top is perfection, and not too sweet, not too salty, just right. All of the other teeth that I tried were good whether it was fruit tea or green tea. I will definitely return for any of their drinks.l whenever in town.

Flavors are fairly different as well which is also a nice change. Inside is pretty small but there is outdoor seating available at this location. We got the mini flight that comes with six mini scoops and two waffle cone chips. Flavor profiles are on point and ice cream is fairly creamy. My only complain is the serving sizes are small for the price you pay. The quality is good but you don't get much in each scoop. The ice cream sandwiches don't keep their form when you take a bite of it as well.

It was my first time here and we wanted to try something new! We came in about 15-20 min before they closed and I got a graham cracker ice cream and then also the banana with chocolate chip. Did. Not. Disappoint. I was a fan of both! Slight more favoritism toward the graham cracker one, I like the graham pieces in the ice cream. It was $5-6 for a small which is two scoops- worth it :) The two girls in here were so sweet and also really quick with our ice cream. Cute little spot, bright ambiance when you walk in.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Kadak Chai (Indian special tea) & Kashmiri Pink Chai Latte on the menu. Definitely something I'd like to try next time! We ordered the Gulab Jamun Rolled Ice Cream & Falooda. The rolled Gulab Jamun ice cream was good, but the Falooda was AMAZING! Perfectly layered and the presentation was on point for both. Before you head there, two things I'd like to mention...the prices are high! $10 for rolled ice cream feels a bit much & the service is slow. But if you're there to spend time with someone, go ahead & chit-chat until your dessert arrives :-P Because sometimes the dessert takes its sweet time... literally :D

"VERY hole-in-the-wall Middle Eastern patisserie"…read more This gives hole-in-the-wall new meaning. The location is in a strip-mall that's set back a ways from 55, so it's not really visible from the street at all. However, it's weirder than that-- you have to drive AROUND the strip mall to the back, past the various loading docks for other stores, and they you see this place is open just from the BACK of the strip mall. I heard the owner is Algerian, but there are many Palestinian references and flags around the shop, so if that's triggering, then know this in advance before coming in. Still, the place is brightly lit and airy, with tables to eat. They do custom cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts, but we just wanted to sample some sweets. Hours are funny-- just midday Friday through Sunday. We ordered a pecan brownie and a pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa (shredded Middle Eastern pastry), as well as a mocha coffee. The mocha coffee was rich and delicious, as expected. The pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa was to-die-for... SO delicious. Super thick and messy, as you'd hope it would be. And of course the pecan brownie was amazing. I will say the pastries are not "cheap". I got a single tahini chocolate chip cookie to go for a friend, and that was $4.50 for a modest sized cookie. The other dishes above were in the $6 range. But these are unusual custom-made dishes, so it's fair.

This spot has a very unassuming exterior, but the inside is pretty cute and spacious with lots of seating (you actually need to walk to the back of the building to find the entrance). Would be a great spot to hang out and do work at. Service was fast and friendly. 9/10 would recommend!
