    Almost Heaven is a quite popular baked goods, coffee, and pie/cake shop. I understand that the…read moredemand for the goods is high and the staff may be shorthanded, so I'm taking that into consideration. Trying to keep up with everything is challenging with low staff. The aesthetic of the edifice is alluring enough, and they do a great job with decorations. You're met with the sight of coffees, croissants, cheesecakes, and other goods that look very promising. However, what Almost Heaven does well with visuals, they lack in quality of food, which, as a restaurant, shouldn't be neglected. Regarding the former, the upkeep and cleanliness of the inside could certainly be improved. There were fruit flies in the display shelves and in the air, some dusty spider webs on the hanging lights above, and there were noticeable crumbs on the floors/tables. Again, I understand that there may not be enough staff, but the sight of fruit flies on the cookies and cheesecakes is off-putting. Regarding the food, there is a wide selection of sweets, from milkshakes, smoothies, cookies, cannolis, cheesecakes, and others. There's also paninis, melts, and other sandwiches with breakfast and lunch varieties. I have tried the Mountain Mama and the Breakfast Melt Croissant; the former was actually quite good but the latter was nothing special. I've tried the hot chocolate, several different cookies, a slice of the classic cheesecake, and the seasonal pumpkin pecan caramel pie. Unfortunately, I wouldn't order any of these again. Everything was too forward with sweetness. I get that desserts are supposed to be sweet, but it was almost as if the whipped cream was store-bought and that there was far too much sugar in the stale chocolate chip cookie. I'm not sure how long the desserts are kept in the displays, but it seems that it's too long. Lastly, wait times can take a while. I once ordered only a panini and waited 18 minutes for it to come out, and the pretzel bun was burnt. Ordering a coffee or other drink doesn't seem to have long wait times, however, so it's possible that the staff was prioritizing easier orders. Still, if the sandwich is "premade" as one of the employees mentioned, then 18 mins is too long to wait for one thing. Overall, if I could give 2.5 stars, I would, but I'll round up because I haven't tried the entire menu. Certainly a lot of room for improvement for AHD. The price for the quality of food is very mismatched, and unless they get better ingredients and have fresher goods, then I'll have to skip out of visiting the bakery again.

    I've been here many times over the years and I've never had anything that wasn't good…read more Their lattes are top notch! I stopped in recently with my daughter and her boyfriend to grab a sandwich for me and açaí bowls for them. I initially wanted a sandwich that I was informed they were out of so I opted for the Avocado Sunrise and I'm kinda glad the other sandwich was not available because it was excellent. The employees here aren't always very friendly or welcoming and could definitely improve their customer service skills, but I try to never judge people for who they are because who knows what's going on in their lives, but I'd say you'd get a lot more repeat new customers if that was corrected and if they leave their attitudes and/or problems at home. The atmosphere is cool as it's located in an old building that was remodeled years ago and they did an excellent job of keeping all of its charm and glory. I highly recommend that you try all of their deserts, but tbh with you anything you get you'll be glad you did. Enjoy :)

    Wow!! Stopped in for a quick ice cream treat while driving through Zanesville and I am so glad that…read moreI did. The chocolate ice cream is AMAZING!!! Smooth and creamy like ice cream used to be!! The ice cream tasted AWESOME!!

    In town visiting family and they said that Tom's is a must-try for anyone visiting…read more They have a candy counter with various chocolates and nuts they sell, in addition to classic diner foods. Apparently the inside hasn't changed much in over 50 years, per my husband's aunt. We only came here for ice cream so I can't speak much for the rest of the food and offerings. The ice cream portions are LARGE! I got one scoop, split between 2 different flavors and I barely finished it. Their ice cream selection has a lot of options and definitely be aware it will give you a sugar rush! They offer classic flavors and have rotating seasonal flavors. When we were there, coffee ice cream, my favorite, was on their rotating seasonal flavors. They also had some holiday seasonal flavors, like egg nog and pumpkin pie, since we were visiting around Thanksgiving time. I'd recommend checking their website if you want to know which seasonal flavors are in rotation. The storefront was decorated for Christmas and had a fun display of the town and inside reminds me of Happy Days. Service was relatively quick, and luckily only a few folks inside when we were there; not sure how it is when it's packed. If you like classic diner style vibes and ice cream, I'd recommend you try this place out!
