Dough Story is located in Ridgeway Plaza, which is always busy, but that's part of the fun because…read morethere are so many spots to try and there's always something going viral there. I actually saw this place all over TikTok, so I had to check it out. The interior is super cute and aesthetic, definitely feels like you stepped into an episode of Bridgeton. That being said, it's not very big at all, and it honestly didn't feel like enough space for how many people were there. Even at around 10 PM on a weekday, it was packed. There was a long line when we got there, but it moved pretty fast, which was nice. They were actually preparing a fresh batch of their brownies while we were there, so we had to wait a few extra minutes, but overall they were really quick and efficient considering how busy it was. We got the medium of their famous dark chocolate puddle and shared it between four of us. Honestly, that was the perfect move. I don't love super sweet desserts, and even having about a quarter of it was more than enough for me. It's really rich, super gooey, and so chocolatey. It's actually not too sweet either, it's perfect. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, but it was genuinely so good, easily a 10/10. It actually lives up to the hype. The only downside is the price. We paid around $16 for the cup, which is definitely on the expensive side for what it is. But at the same time, it's very rich and shareable, so it kind of balances out. Overall, I get why this place is blowing up. Cute spot, fast service, and a dessert that actually hits. I'd definitely go back, just probably to share again.

Both were as expected.. very sweet, rich, and filling. I think the idea is super clever and it is indeed tasty. I will say.. it is VERY sweet and also not that cheap. I definitely recommend going here with a few friends like I did and sharing a bowl. A few bites are really all you need. I would really only come back if I want something super sweet. But I would come back to try the banana toffee pudding.. this was sold out when I was there.

The girl wearing the pink hijab today was such a sweetheart I loved the customer service I received from her. I think Maryam was her name?? This is going to be my regular sweet spot from now on!! :)

We'd just finished a tasty meal at a nearby restaurant and were interested in a small dessert, so…read morewe figured we'd pop into Blooming Garden to check their stuff out. The joint was loaded with yummy-looking treats but we figured we'd go with the old standby of a red-bean dessert. And it was so, so good. At first, I thought maybe it wasn't sweet enough, which makes sense given that it was labeled as containing less sugar than the norm. But the more I dug in, I found that the sweetness level was just right. The tasty red-bean filling and the almost caramelized exterior proved impossible to resist. I could've eaten a whole lot more than the half we shared, ultimately. I'm very interested in Blooming Garden's other offerings, if what we ate is any indication of their quality.

I am a fiend for thai MT and my first sip was bliss, the tea wasn't like any i've had before and the owner says they ship theirs directly from thailand. the regular milk tea with torched custard was cool because we've never had that before and it added some creamy, sweetness to the drink. that being said, i would probably order 30% sugar or less the next time i come just because their drinks are pretty sweet as is. genuinely can't wait to come back to try their other drinks (been eyeing the butterfly pea tea MT with cheese foam :0)

Authentic Pakistani bakery that is a little pricey for the quality of items you get. Don't get me…read morewrong, everything I got tasted very good but there are a few things I didn't like about this place: 1. Customer Service. I came for the almond cake originally and the cashier told me it's not available. So I said not a problem. She could tell I'm not Pakistani since I didn't respond in urdu when she spoke. However, as I can catch on some phrases, when another customer came in and asked for the same thing, I saw how she first said they're sold out. Then, the other worker said they had one reserved for a person who had reserved but never picked up. Thus, the cashier went and sold it to that customer. I found it very unprofessional because I personally felt that they sold it to them first since they were Pakistani but I wasn't. Second, I was standing there waiting for my order I had placed, thus she knew I had requested it before. Anyhow, I didn't like that at all and found it quite rude. Staff aren't welcoming. They don't greet you with a smile, nothing. Just place your order, wait, take it and go. 2. Availability of items. There wasn't much options to choose from when I went. Only limited items left to order and was told to come back another time. 3. Small bakery. Not much space inside for movement. It can get crowded and feel tight as people come in and out. There's no seating area as it's more of a takeout. The food we got was good, though a little spicy for the savouries. Might consider giving it a second shot but it definitely won't be my go-to place or a place I'd visit often.

We ordered a mixed grill, chicken Shawarma, and grilled chicken dinner. Every entree was flavorful and the portion size was generous. The taste was a 10/10. The only issue was their slow service. The dine in experience comes with free lentil soup as a starter but we were never served as an appetizer they told us the bowls were in the dishwasher. The food was served and in the middle of the meal they served us the soup. Everything seemed haphazard. I did use their bathroom and they did not have toilet paper. Overall all the food was fantastic I really hope they can improve their service.

We were then brought two menus, and asked to choose our items. I had settled on the kabab wrap, while my mother chose the beef and lamb wrap. While we were waiting for our meals to arrive, we were offered a bowl of lentil soup, which was complimentary. We enjoyed how delicious the soup was, and that it was free. After we had eaten the lentil soup, we were given a large piece of complimentary pita bread, which we had eaten on its own. We were then waiting patiently for our wraps, which arrived about ten minutes after finishing the pita bread. However, my wrap had arrived with onions in it, which I had asked not to be included. I had told the waitress, whom quickly brought it back to be fixed. I then received the correct wrap about five minutes later however, it didn't have any sauce on it. The waitress then brought the sauce in a small container, which I was able to put on my wrap on my own. The wraps were delicious, with an abundance of meat and vegetables to fill it up. We also loved the dipping sauces that accompanied the wraps. However, the waitress seemed a bit confused when we had asked certain questions, as the restaurant had people coming in and out at all times. Overall, I would certainly return to this restaurant, as the food was well-made and appetizing.
