My wife I and I stumbled upon this dessert option while out on a date in the Exton area. We read…read morethat their cheesecake was excellent, so that got us in the door! The woman at the counter was kind and smily, helping us to know what the different flavor options were like. We ultimately bought two slices each to share over the next few days at home, but we immediately broke into the Biscoff cheesecake and knew we had chosen wisely. This is hands down the best cheesecake I've ever had. A beautiful layer of caramel on top, perfectly dense cheesecake filling, and delicious cookie crust. I could write a song about it. Maybe I will. This is a 5/5 cheesecake. Maybe more. We also tried the lemon blueberry cheesecake, which I would rate a 4/5. The filling seemed to be more lemon than blueberry, but there were blueberries inside. I would have loved a blueberry swirl as well. But I'm nitpicking. The third flavor we tried was the millionaire cheesecake, with chocolate crunch, chocolate layer (maybe caramel as well, I'm not sure) and chocolate crust. Another excellent flavor, 4.5/5. If you're keeping track you'll know I only mentioned 3 flavors, but we bought 4 slices. That's because we each had to have our own slice of the Biscoff! It's that good! GO GET SOME!

There was a long line for ice cream, but it moved quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. You can't see the ice cream behind the counter, so you have to go by the menu board (and samples). I tried the cookies and cream, chocolate, and chocolate with peanut butter cups -- all were incredibly creamy and full of flavor. It's 10x better than anything store-bought! There's also plenty of seating both inside and out on the porch, which made it easy to sit back and enjoy the treat. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors!

If you grew up in India, you know what am…read moretalking about, it's like one of those mom and pop ice cream shops that we grew up eating ice creams at. It's so refreshing to see an exclusive ice cream store focused on Indian/Tropical flavors that we usually don't get to taste much. Most of the flavors are absolutely delicious, although some needed improvement in the depth of the flavor such as the Chikoo and Guava. Our favorites were butter scotch, lychee, Pista (not the pistachio we usually get), Paan and Tutti Fruti :) The owner was kind enough to let all our kids taste the flavors (almost all) and decide what they wanted. They also have a small seating area for about 15 people I guess, so it may be hard to sit and eat in the store on a busy day. The interiors are very colorful and styled like the ice cream stores in India back in the 90's. Highly recommend if you want to try Indian flavored Ice creams!!

I was gifted a birthday cake and the first piece ticked a lot of positive boxes, but left something in my mouth. Literally. It was almost the consistency of shredded coconut and I dismissed it as such because I didn't order the cake so wasn't sure what the person who had ordered it had asked for. The second piece, same thing - only this time I noticed I couldn't really bite through whatever the mystery shavings were. I've been baking for over 40 years and as I considered what "whatever" it was could've been, it wasn't the right consistency for coconut. I managed to pull a bit of it off my tongue and the only thing I could liken it to in my years of baking was when I accidentally shredded part of a rubber spatula and it ended up in the cake. I was able to track it down to the frosting. Specifically the blue. I scraped all the blue frosting off and tried a small piece and no more mystery matter. I plopped all the blue frosting that was left, which was mostly a set of frosting balloons, in the sink drain. I first ran hot water over it and this was what was left.The attached image shows what is left - after having used the sink for FOUR DAYS. It still hasn't broken down. If it were butter and powdered sugar it would've been gone long ago. I don't know what that was/is, but I don't see myself eating another one of their cakes anytime soon.
