They have seasonal flavors, but none of them seemed appealing to me so I decided to go with the double chocolate and stracciatella in a cone. If you get a cone, you get the choice of dark or milk chocolate drizzle, and if you get a cup you get a little waffle chip dipped in chocolate to top your gelato. They also have various premade gelato pops and mini ice cream cones which are nice options. Of the two flavors I got, the double chocolate was my favorite! It was extremely rich and had a strong chocolate flavor. I got two flavors, but it seemed a bit uneven and I got more of the chocolate than stracciatella but I didn't mind. The drizzle of dark chocolate was a great addition, and love that it hardened and added some texture! It's a small store with a few indoor seats, but it gets crowded really quick. But definitely a great sweet treat after dinner!

Rich, smooth, and delicious! Then, I will try something different for the other half. I got cookies and cream this time and it was good, but I prefer the coffee flavored one more!

I enjoy crepes from the Crepe Stop on Laurel st. Occasionally they are a bit overdone, so you might…read moreask them to flip them sooner if you prefer your crepes not to be browned. My partner likes the BBQ one. I often get the Hawaiian one, sometimes the Sour Cow, or the Tuscan. The Big Belly is really big, with lots of ingredients. The crepes are usually served golden into triangles, which makes them easy to carry. No utensils needed. There's usually to less cheese than I'm used to from other locations, but it's not bad. Note: We usually get ours To Go. The apple caramel dessert crepe arrives cut up into squares, which was surprising. Normally the plain chocolate one we get isn't cut up. This resulted in a bit of a mess when my partner didn't hold the container flat me time. Service is so-so. Definitely order in advance if you can, or you may wait a bit. Ambiance is terrible indoors. Only a couple of small tables and more of a "pick up at the counter vibe." They have a nice outdoor seating area though, if the weather is good enough for it. Parking is usually decent if you park in the lot right next to the restaurant. It's sometimes easiest to enter that lot from Walnut, the street parallel to Laurel, though. You get to it from Olive, going around the back of Bianchini's. The outdoor seating areas and proximity to Bianchini's market make parking on Laurel a bit dicey. I tried the round waffle things once, and wasn't that impressed. Seemed a bit dry. Keep meaning to try the gelato but never have. And I don't drink boba tea, so I can't comment on that. They do stay open later than the other nearby boba place though, so if that's your cup of tea (ha!) then it's an option later in the evening. A solid place, if not the best crepes I've had.

The menu is a bit limited and I wasn't into the wonton noodle soup (the wontons kind of tasted like a shumai in a wonton wrapper?) and the ribeye teppan was super chewy. The yuen yeung was good though. Still super friendly and available staff.

The fruit toppings were fresh, and everything was incredibly clean and well organized. The service was wonderful as well. I really like the self-serve setup because it lets you customize exactly how much you want and create your perfect combination. It's also very affordable, which makes it even better. I'll definitely be coming back to Toot Sweet--and next time I'm bringing my whole family! And I absolutely love the French touch in the name.

We also tried rainbow sorbet, cotton candy, and strawberry cheesecake--everything was delicious. Plus, they had the cutest mural inside which made the whole experience even better.

This time I went with the double scoop, getting the rice pudding ice cream and Mexican candy flavor. The rice pudding scoop was rich, creamy, and comforting, with that nostalgic cinnamon flavor that really hits. The Mexican candy ice cream was the perfect contrast--sweet, slightly spicy, and packed with bold flavor without being overpowering. Together, the combo worked surprisingly well. Portion sizes were generous, the ice cream was smooth and well balanced, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the flavors and the overall experience. Glad I came back. This spot continues to deliver. Definitely will be revisiting again to try more flavors.

If you know, you know. The pastries here are absolutely worth the detour--and honestly, wherever I see a Paris Baguette, I do pull over. That includes locations I've visited in Northern California, North Brunswick, New Jersey, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and even the one here in Charlotte down in Pineville. It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.
