I also appreciate that…read morethey have healthy options on the menu and clearly care about their ingredients, which you don't find at just any smoothie place. In terms of food, this place has been a bit of a hit or miss for me. The first time we stopped by, we had smoothies, and they were delicious, creamy, and not too artificially sweet, yummy but still felt healthy at the same time. The second time, we tried their coffee and waffles. The latte was good, and I liked their seasonal flavor options. Unfortunately, the gingerbread waffle we tried was practically inedible, wayyyy too spiced, to the point it tasted medicinal. The pomegranate seeds on top, which looked pretty at first, were actually soft and mushy, clearly not fresh. That said, I'm still willing to come back for another smoothie, because those were really good.

I tried the Shake, Rattle, and Roll. It was delicious. It's warmed up perfectly! The peanut butter…read moreicing is so good! The employees were really friendly too :-)

Today was BOGO according to their Facebook page so our family stopped by for a treat…read more I do not like the regular frosting but I do like their cream cheese frosting,so I got the ape pie style with cream cheese instead of cinnamon frosting. There is a big enough size you can eat half and save thr other half for the next day. I liked this one a lot, the apple provides a little bit of freshness and acidity that kind of cut down the closing sweetness of the rest of the roll. My four year old selected the smores style one and split it with his dad. It was a big sugary choco pile which they both were quite happy with. I don't think their rolls are as good as homemade, they are definitely lower quality than a real bakery. But still good for a once in awhile treat on the go or when a craving hits, especially at half off price:)

We had a glass of Sauvignon blanc which was perfect for a spring day and for some small bites we had each of the pintxos.

They mix up their menu all rhe time but it's never hard to find something amazing. This time it was cinnamon and coffee.

The superb exterior opens to a fun interior that feels really comfy. Tremendous customer service. Humorous photos are all over the place, and fun food options are highlighted. Their courtyard is terrific, with fun murals all over and plenty of shade. My two-scoop combo, blending Red Velvet Oreo with Twinkee Butter, was truly awesome, and I loved every nibble.

I came in for the Yelp event, and made an extra purchase for my husband!…read more For me, i collected a flight of six mini scoops. This was a great way to discover a quick favorite. I was bummed to find out the cherry is seasonal as it is easily the best tasting of the bunch! Some other available flavors were cookies and cream, cake batter, brownie, Brookie, traditional, and red velvet. For my husband, I bought two scoops- one of cherry and one of brownie. I ended up loving the cherry so much I traded my flight for it! The customer service was great, and the interior clean. I will definitely be returning to the shop for more (especially of the cherry before it's gone!!)

Our kids have been begging to stop here after I brought some home earlier this year. We finally…read moremade it here as a reward for good school reports. We made it a surprise and they squealed with delight when we parked in front of it. The inside is done nicely and is clean. My daughter loved the sparkly counter (as do I). It's easy to view the variety of doughs in the case. The only challenge was some of the flavors of the month had the names rubbed off some. But no worries, they were there to help tell us what each was. We got the 6 scoops option to share. We let the kids pick two each and then my husband and I picked the last two. It's no surprise the Cookie Monster disappeared first as our son's favorite color is blue (and he chose that one). Flutternutter was also gone quickly. Cake batter was gone next as who can resist sprinkles? I really enjoyed the PB Cheesecake one too. This is such a fun place to treat yourself, or others. We'll continue to come back.

Service was not the best. No greeting when we walked in and our order was wrong. Didn't notice it right away and when we did we asked if we could get the correct brownie she seemed annoyed. Luckily I had the receipt since I felt she was doubting me. She had to call the manager and the manager approved it. I tried making a loyalty account but there was an error message. The cashier didn't know how to help so maybe try creating an account online. Ambiance is okay. It's tiny and there's no room to eat there.

We were still able to get 2 cookies each at 1030 at night. Great midnight snack! My fav is the walnut choco chip. I'm a big small business supporter but I gotta say this is one of the best choco chips I have had, even though it's a chain and I feel a little had about it. Some of their cookies are way to mushy though. We will buy them sometimes but then eat the next day when they have hardened up a little.

The first three items did not have a strong flavor profile and therefore didn't leave much of an impression with us. The ube in the rice krispie treats was very subtle and I'm not sure what the black components were. It looked like black sesame but we couldn't taste it. The latter three items were more appealing.
