    Classic crêpe (strawberry banana Nutella) with a side of vanilla ice cream topped with Nutella.
    Oswald O.

    This was my first time at the location and the food was amazing. I meant to take another picture of the inside, but after the first bike it was over. The area outside is extremely well kept and the inside is Just as clean. The service was immaculate, both gentlemen running the store Today were extremely attentive, friendly and accommodating. Thank you Faisal and Kevin

    Acai bowl
    Anne L.

    Super tasty Acai bowl! They use Acai roots which is delicious, but they have a good portion size. You can choose a good amount of fruits and toppings, but since I didn't get fruits, he gave me a discount. It seemed like they actually care about the customers having a good experience. It's not the fastest service, but it is prepared with care! Great choice.

    Classic crepe,  no banana and a hot chocolate

    Oh yuck. I ordered a lemon mint and it's just ice with a lime in it put in a blender, and not well blended.

    Amazing service and great staff and excellent food I would recommend a lotus milkshake

    i've came here some times before and i've gotten the acai bowls and it's one of the few places i love getting acai bowls from. this time i was craving a crepe and i ordered the kinder nutella crepe, the crepe was stuffed generously and very delicious. the staff are very nice and willing to explain their menu if you have any questions. i also like how they offer seating inside and outside. overall whenever i'm in the area i definitely make an effort to come and enjoy a sweet treat :))

    I went to this place cause I saw they have kunefe the Turkisk dessert but they didn't have it when I was there. They told me to sold out fast . Açaí bowl is good. You can customize your bowl or choose the one they have. I love the one I ordered. I ordered mine without banana and I saw in the menu that there are blueberries but when I take home, I didn't see the blueberries. That's the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. If they run out, they should have let me know and I'm okay with it. Inside is nice, small. I like that they have the sand to do the Turkish coffee. So cool.

    Yummy yummy yummy! Everything here is delicious that you forget your problems and all the annoying things bothering you. The Nutella just hits the spot and it's the best in cafe 88

    Had to try this place out it's a hidden gem. They have healthy açaí bowels and shakes, juices, and sweet crepes. The place is clean and cute vibe. Music was great and the service 5 stars.. I ordered the Nutella crepe which was made with strawberries and bananas. They even give you a small scoop of vanilla ice cream... Great size to share and price was very fair.This was the best crepe I have ever had .... A must have.. Check them out.

I'm pretty sure I've eaten their sweets - I just don't remember the old shop's name. Habibi Sweets, on the other hand, with their assortment of baklavas and Turkish Delights gave me a teasing taste of one of their more popular confections. My order included two rolled green-colored baklavas, One Almond dough pastry brimming with nuts and seeds, a coconut.TD, and for the pièce de résistance, this dark red Rose Petal Turkish Delight that was to die for! I remember my foray into chewy Turkish delights 25 years ago and this one was beyond delightful! Plus, it's non-GMO and Gluten-free! And there's more! The friendly staff, namely Zina gave me a small free box of even more assortment of baklavas to try which will surely be shared with my family.

    Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but…read morein my opinion, for the amount of work, effort, and quality of ingredients, I think they continue to be fair. For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

Also just so everyone is aware they're also liars just to mention & stupid.. she tells us her name is Karen thinking we don't know the owners name lol .. She was at the register at 7:20pm and was extremely rude and dismissive after we placed our order, especially regarding a child's dietary restrictions and health concerns. We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .

We showed up on a Sunday night and ended up waiting for a solid hour, so definitely come prepared for long lines! But honestly, the way they do things makes it worth it. They actually let you sample every single flavor before you commit to a scoop, which is such a game-changer. We ended up going with the chocolate and chocolate chip butter cookies, it was incredibly rich and hit the spot. We also tried the Nutella bread pudding, and the flavor was just amazing. A few heads-up: * Parking: It's virtually non-existent, so give yourself some extra time to circle the block. * Service: The owner and the staff are super friendly and welcoming, even with the crowd.

Ever since the word got out, the line is usually wrapped around the corner. Pair this with the tasting sessions, and you could be waiting upwards of an hour for your gelato. That was the case with me and my unnamed partner this past Sunday at 4 o clock in the evening. A nice worker named Jae was kind enough to give out samples to those waiting in line, which I thought was a nice touch! And the workers are very knowledgable about the flavors and how they are produced. Is the gelato so good that it's worth the possible hour long wait? Maybe to some. If you aren't booked or pressed for time, I'd say give this a shot! My favorite flavor of the month is the illustrious Canvas, which was Olive Oil and Rosemary flavored, with an optional sprinkling of Black Sea Salt. The building has props that feel like a dry cleaning business, which is cute. All in all, a good experience, but dress accordingly if you decide to wait.
