I ordered the Bavarian cream/strawberries with original/cinnamon/sugar for the cone. My friend ordered the same cone but with Bavarian cream and apple pie with caramel drizzle.

I stopped by AZ Chimney Cakes on a Saturday afternoon for a sweet treat. I've gotta say...I was…read morepretty pumped going into it. AZ Chimney Cakes specializes in Kürtöskalács, a.k.a chimney cakes, an incredible dessert that originated in Hungary. I have Romanian roots and Kürtöskalács are quite popular in Romania. That's where I had my first chimney cake. Located in the same shopping center as a movie theater, a Japanese restaurant, and a bunch of other businesses, I parked without any issues in the free back lot and walked over. Ambiance (4/5): A cozy dessert shop. I felt right at home when I saw a map of Bucharest by the entrance. You order at the counter and then they bring your order out to you. We sat at a table close to the door. Service (5/5): Friendly service and we were fortunate enough to chat with the owner for quite a bit. We learned about the history of the dessert spot and how they're trying out some new ideas. Nice lady. Drinks (N/A): No drinks for me on this visit. Food (5/5): If you've never has a chimney cake, you're in for a treat. They're made to order and customizable. More so than anywhere I've ever seen. You choose your base, toppings, additions, and drizzles. I went with the traditional chimney cake with Biscoff cookies, vanilla ice cream, and Nutella drizzle. Outside of the dessert options, which are the way to go for first timers, if you're feeling adventurous, they also have one or two savory options. The chimney cakes are served warm and absolutely delicious. They're filling too so come with an appetite. It's one of those things everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. So cool to have them in Mesa!

Pretty solid tea shop with a clean interior, good seating, and convenient location. I decided to…read moretry the coffee brown sugar milk this time and was so happy with the default sweetness levels (lower than average) and the coffee strength. My only gripe is that the boba consistently gets stuck in my straw here. Previously thought I ran into an old, sticky batch, but it's been the same way all three times now. However, given that all the drinks I've tried tasted solid -- especially the white peach refresher with oolong tea (SO GOOD) -- I'll still be back. Perhaps with jellies or no inclusions next time :) Xing Fu Tang is still a great place to hang out with friends after a dinner in the area, especially if you're getting the Mensho customer discount! Staff is always nice and parking is easy in the lot.

Xing Fu Tang stands out for their homemade boba pearls. Because they're homemade however, they can…read moreoften be stuck together or even cut too big to fit through a straw, which can make the drinking experience a battle. The pearls themselves are very tasty with a good texture though. It's worth trying! The drinks here are not overly sweet even at 100% sugar level. I prefer less sugar generally (25% at most other places), but you can safely get 100% sugar level here without feeling like your drink is overly sweet. If you opt for less sugar, staff may warn you that it won't be sweet at all unless you get the pearls, which are sweetened by default. If you dined at Mensho Ramen next door, you can get a discount on your drink order at Xing Fu Tang if you show them your receipt. The shaved ice is delicious with the ice being made from frozen sweetened milk rather than only water. An order is huge and you can easily share with 4 people for dessert. The largest tables inside can comfortably accommodate a group of 4. You can easily pull extra chairs over if your group is bit larger. Service is curt, but they're not intentionally mean. There was a mistake one time with my order, so they made my correct drink asap and free of charge.

Highlights: I found the coconut jelly dessert to be very light and refreshing. They have a lot of flavors that I would love to try in the future. The ambience is also really nice and calm. It's kind of cool how it comes in a mason jar that you can take home and repurpose or collect to bring back. The spoons are very cute. Lowlights: I didn't think the customer service wasn't that friendly - I read other reviews about samples being offered, but they were pretty standoffish so we didn't ask. It's a little expensive for how small the dessert is especially if you don't really care about keeping the mason jar.

It took at least a good 5-7 minutes before I got my food, it was hot and fresh. And the savory chicken with sweet waffle was perfectly balanced. This was my first time having bubble waffles, and they were yummy. They were 'churro' style and had a very light cinnamon and sugar flavor. The chicken was a really good portion, hot and crispy. And there is a side of fried crispy chicken skin, ohhhhh so salty - so good! While they maybe be considered more of a sweet shop with their churro, ice cream, and boba offerings, they have a pretty good savory food menu. The staff was super nice, and I'm definitely going to come back here!! Thank you Churro Nest and Yelp! For this experience. I rarely ever go to Tempe Marketplace, so I dont know if I would have found this place otherwise! It's located across from Forever 21, and next door to piercing shop Rowan.

It allows me to enjoy a snack with my friends who are all about that sugar rush lifestyle. I do recommend the breakfast bites for a sweet option. The churros are cut smaller, and you get a mountain of whipped cream and fresh fruit to dip you churros in. It's like the chips and guacamole of in the churro world. The churro-crusted churro-style Hong Kong egg waffles are a must. They drizzle a nice chipotle syrup on top, and they even give you fried chicken skin to munch on. The chicken loco moco is also good, although I suggest asking for more gravy. I'm a gravy fiend, though, so if you're about moderation, it's probably sufficient for you. Milk teas and coffee are good here, but I would pass on the syrupy fruit drinks. This place also offers adorable egg cups, so if you're a sucker for a cute Instagram-worthy beverage, this place does a good job. I like it here! I hope you like it here too. The place is a bit warm, though, so be warned. Bring a hair tie!

I didn't realize that actually opened in the West Coast first before making their way to the East Coast and rapidly expanding their chain. I know them for their cakes being light, airy and beautifully decorated. Most especially for the season or holiday. I recently tried their strawberry soft cake and it really retained the strawberry flavor. The texture was soft and most certainly airy while not being overly sweet. It made a great pair with coffee.

They also sell pints in a freezer to take home!

I love that they have a split single scoop option though today I went for 2 scoops. Sign up in the app if you want points. For some reason you can't sign up in store.

In fact, Nite Creamery may have changed my entire perspective on that method of making ice cream. Either that or they're just head and shoulders above. In any case, it was pretty early when I got there, so things were fairly quiet--the shop has cool vibes, though--and the guys working the counter were super nice. A particular shoutout to the MIT grad who explained the process to me and probably clocked that I wasn't super comfortable trying to order on the kiosk and offered to ring me up. You rocked, man. In any case, I ordered the Roast Malone, which gave total s'mores vibes (I do love my chocolate spectrum of flavors), and once they made it--everything is made to order here--it kind of blew me away. Not only were the flavors on point, but the texture of the ice cream--which has typically been my complaint with this type of process--was also creamy and delicious. It was so good I wouldn't have minded another one then and there (fortunately, sanity prevailed, but it was a tasty thought). If I'm back in the Phoenix area, this spot is a must-return for ice cream.
