I wanted to send my son something to celebrate his birthday, after researching how much it was to…read moresend a dozen cookies for an arm & leg, I saw this bakery. Not only are they incredibly friendly & nice, I felt like was I talking to a friend! So for what I was going to spend on a dozen cookies, I was able to get 3 times as much to send to me son for him & his co-workers. They delivered to his office & knowing I was in Ca she took a picture of my son receiving his baked goods & sent it to me! Over the top service & can I say some of the guys got on the phone to tell me how incredible these desserts were. Thank you Trisha for making my son's birthday that much sweeter! I will certainly be back!

My son let me know numerous times that he wanted a cupcake yesterday, but I'd had a very busy day…read moreand running out was the last thing I wanted to do. Plus a lot of the bakeries in the area close at 6. So I found Sweet Dreams on here and decided to give it a try. I called in an order around 5:45 and had fresh cupcakes and still warm from the oven cookies at my door by 8pm. Needless to say it made his day and I was more than impressed with everything. We ordered a sampler pack and had her pick out a variety for us. We ended up with some cinnamon things (yum!), apple supremes (husband's favorite so far), and several types of cupcakes as well as some warm chocolate chip cookies. My favorite is the chocolate cupcake. I've had cupcakes from some of the best bakeries and this one is right up there with them. It's moist, it's light, it's rich but not cloying, it's super chocolatey and it's just the right amount to satisfy that chocolate craving. I'll have to add more to my next order because my son claimed one and then wanted a bite of mine too! We still have a few more things to try but I expect they will all be just as good. She does take credit cards, you can pay ahead by phone or at the door, perfect since I rarely have cash on me anymore!

It was interesting to see that each Vampire Penguin location does their menu differently! The Mount…read morePleasant location offers Açaí Bowls and has expanded their menu just a tiny bit to include matcha, tajin chamoy, and more. We noticed that both of our orders came in a smaller 12 ounce size rather than the larger 16 ounce that we ordered. We brought it up, and the staff apologized and made us an additional 12 ounce each to make up for the mistake. We were super pleased with their customer service, and even more so that we ended up with full tummies of 24 ounces of dessert! We had the Affogato and Twix, and the Affogato was our favorite. It's coffee, chocolate, and vanilla with brownie bits. We also loved that the staff came over to our table to check on us and chatted, which was sweet and personable. The ambience was quiet and clean inside too. Vampire Penguin is our absolute favorite, and they made our Mother's Day eating adventure very special.

We stopped by Vampire Penguin in Mount Pleasant and had such a great experience once we found it!…read moreGPS brought us to the Goodwill store - the opposite end of the strip mall - it's the smaller mall on Coleman Blvd. The shop has a fun, welcoming vibe, and the staff was incredibly friendly and patient while we decided what to try. The desserts here are so unique -- the shaved snow is light, airy, and melts instantly, almost like a cross between ice cream and fresh powdery snow. My husband got the Strawberry Cheesecake which was the highlight of the visit! The strawberry and vanilla shaved snow is perfectly smooth and creamy, and the fresh strawberries, graham cracker crumbs, and sweet drizzle make it taste exactly like a light, refreshing strawberry cheesecake. It's sweet without being heavy, and every bite feels like a little cloud of dessert. Easily a new favorite. Pollar Affagatto If you love coffee desserts, this one is a must-try. The combination of coffee and vanilla snow gives it a mellow espresso flavor, and the brownie bites and chocolate drizzle take it to the next level. It's rich but still surprisingly light -- the perfect mix of coffee, dessert, and creamy snow. It felt like an affogato but way more fun. I get the black dark decor based on the name but for me personally that was a bit too dark of a vibe for me and could be cleaner inside but you can eat outside with a couple of tables on the sidewalk. Overall, Vampire Penguin is such a unique spot for something different. The flavors are creative, the portion sizes are generous, and everything tastes super fresh. We'll definitely be back -- the Strawberry Cheesecake and Pollar Affagatto were both amazing just on the pricey side for shaved ice so consider it a higher end treat.

My husband, his parents, and I went to Kaminsky's at around 8:30ish on a weeknight for a sweet…read moretreat. It's a super small establishment with a few tables and some bar seating. Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.

We waited about 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while two employees stood nearby. The two layer chocolate caramel pecan cake, which our waitress initially could not find, was dry and tasted stale. I would not order it again. The Tollhouse pie was a bit better, but the presentation and the whipped cream were the standouts, and the whipped cream wasn't even homemade! That's the best thing I could say about our experience. The food, pricing, service, and ambiance all fell below average. When you are located downtown with so many great dessert options around, you really need to step up your game. We will not be returning.
