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

Lemon mint ice
Kendall D.

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.

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

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

seating area

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 :))

The front of store with some seating outside.

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.

This place is properly named extraordinary dessert for a reason. They are known for their desserts…read moreboth in taste and in aesthetics. Desserts: 5/5 We got a blood orange scone and a strawberry danish. The scone was warm and delicious. The orange essence was well infused. The danish was crispy and creamy. Everything was so picturesque. Food: 3/5 Unfortunately, the food was not the best. We got the smoked salmon sandwich which was not very flavorful. The salmon was also slimy. The pesto spread was good though. It was creamy and the artisan bread it was served had great variety. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is such super cute. When you walk in, the desserts all look super appetizing. The seating areas are super cute and the floral decor are stunning. Service: 5/5 It is an order then sit down establishment. There is great attention to their dessert. I saw them heat up a knife just to cleanly cut the cake. The food service however did take some time to come out.

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

An's gelato never disappoints. They have the most creative flavors. I never had anything the same…read moretwice. Today I had one with Moyozashi -- hojicha, chocolate and cherry jam and zoot suit -- fig + spicy candied pecan and the combination of the two is even more incredible. I love the forwardness of the hojicha, you dont get tea-flavored ice cream all that often and I am all for tea-flavored ice cream. The cherry jam added a nice tartness to it and combined with zoot suit... it's another level. The pecan provided that little saltiness to balance out the sweet. Perfection. The service here is great. Even though they constantly have people lined up for blocks, you dont feel like you get rushed and when you're waiting, you just have to be patient because when it is your turn, you know it's gonna be great!

Had to try this place since I've heard so many great reviews. Bring your patience it's busy. We…read morewaited outside at least 35 minutes. But it was worth the wait. They have very unusual ice creams. The nice part was the servers don't try and rush you and they give you a sample of each ice cream. So you know what you're getting. I felt it was a good experience so you must try. I had the Moyozashi. It was delicious.

This place is absolutely a 100/10 in my opinion. Their frozen yogurt is one of the creamiest frozen…read moreyogurts I've tried in my life and I don't believe it can be beat. Not to mention they switch up the flavors every day which makes you want to go back. If you get their child size and up they will layer your toppings of choice with the yogurt ensuring you never run out of toppings! Don't be fooled by the names of their sizes though because their portions are abysmally large but it's perfect. You can sample the flavors before ordering and I recommend doing so but don't be those people who ask to sample a basic flavor like chocolate especially if there's a huge line (I've seen it happen before). There is almost always a line if you go in the evening time but if you happen to have some time during off peak hours (daytime during weekdays), I suggest going then. The service is really efficient though so the line moves fast.

This is a local yogurt spot near my aunts house. The outside is very unique so definitely a spot…read morethat catches the eye when you drive by. There are different sizes, starting with the cone (which I didn't want bc I'm a slow eater and knew it would get messy) and the next size is "baby" (pictured below). Although it's a hefty size for it to be called "baby", it's a pretty good size for the price. I ordered cookies and cream with butterscotch I think? And it is what it is - nothing too crazy or fancy. But a pretty good and standard yogurt spot if you're craving a cold treat on a hot day. Only caveat is it's cash only. But no issues aside from that.
