Best ice cream you could get in the area. But most first timers make a huge mistake. They order the…read moresoft serve instead of the bar! What makes South Swell great are the flavor combinations that they create for toppings. The actual ice cream is just vanilla or chocolate ice cream. You are coming for the toppings. If you get the bar, the toppings are more evenly distributed and presented the way they should be for the best flavor experience. My favorite is the Bomb Fire bar. They dip the ice cream bar in chocolate and coat it in graham cracker. Then top it with marshmallow that they literally toast with a flame. Then the ice cream cools the marshmallow so it doesn't drip but instead makes a perfectly delicious coating of toasted marshmallow. Service is always good and don't let a line deter you.

I've been waiting to try this place!! The instagram is what got me! I will say though, it just…read moredidn't hit the spot for me. It's not that it was yummy, it just wasn't my thing and maybe it's what I ordered! I got the soft serve with peanutbutter, butterfinger, dipped in chocolate with coconut toppings and to me the soft serve just isn't the kind of soft serve I love. I LOVE chickfilas soft serve and this was just a different consistency and taste. I also am a huge topping person so I wanted more toppings and it just wasn't that way. However, my partner got the bar, and he loved it! So maybe I should have gone that way! Friendly staff, all was quick! Would come again to try one more time because I do want to like it!

So what I have is called Egg White Scram and it is delicious!! I have been getting it with the Cajun potatoes, which are also delicious!

It seems this restaurant has a little bit of everything has indoor and outdoor seating some bar seating TVs for you to watch the game at the bar, a bakery, a full bar and of course yummy food! I personally have never had to wait for a table but again I've only been for breakfast so I'm not sure how happy hour or dinner is, but getting a seat has been easy so far. Service is quick. I've never waited more than 15 minutes for my breakfast to come out, and when you're starving, that's a beautiful thing!

We were visiting from Los Angeles and went out of our way to drive there because of the ratings. When we arrived, we asked if we could taste a couple of flavors before ordering. The employee seemed very hesitant and repeatedly mentioned that they are a small business, as if providing a small sample was a problem. The sample that was given was extremely tiny, and the overall attitude felt unfriendly and unwelcoming. What made the experience worse was the disrespectful tone toward customers who were simply trying to decide what to order. Trying a flavor before buying gelato is very common, and most places are happy to offer small samples. Instead, we felt like we were bothering the staff just by asking. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this place. The service left a very negative impression, and unfortunately I would not return.

Despite trying so many since then, between here and even Paris, they've just been total flops. It's crazy how many variations there are, from doughy to bready to basically just a croissant. Have to say Chaupain's, which I found at the Cardiff 101 farmer's market, was AMAZING. I wish I had bought more than one; I had just been disappointed so many times, and Paris was the last straw for me lmao! Service in the tent was super friendly and he was surprised I knew was a Kouign Amann was. If you're a butter/sugar/pastry fan, you'll love their Kouign Amann (Queen amann)

They used to only come every Saturday for farmers Market and only have their pain au chocolat, croissants and Quiche but having a café is so much better! I don't need to drive as far and just do my morning walk and get their freshly baked goods! The staff are so friendly and so nice! The ambiance is great! Love hearing French classic music! Makes it really feel homie! Highly recommend as the food are all freshly baked and the samples are always a great addition!

Sigh. When you have a craving for cookies and esp want an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and the box…read morearrives from DoorDash and they didn't include the cookie you ordered... The chocolate chip classic is good but average. The sugar cookie had a dollop of icing but not even a circle. The photo on the website shows the icing should be a circle and spread out evenly over the cookie. This was definitely not the right amount of icing, it was not even 1/3 icing and pretty sure it should have been way more. It looked like my toddler put on the icing but in a stingy way. I wanted the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie but I didn't get it. How a cookie store can screw up an order that is electronic and literally has a ticket that reads oatmeal is a shame. Very very disappointing. The other two cookies I did receive were not worth mentioning they were not good.

If you have a serious sweet tooth, this is a must-try, but for me, it was a bit too sweet -- almost like pure sugar. * Milk Chocolate Truffle -- Creamy milk chocolate center wrapped in a rich milk chocolate shell, with a smooth caramel filling. Perfectly balanced and indulgent. * Milk Chocolate Almond Cluster -- My favorite so far! Great balance of flavors with a satisfying crunch from the almonds. Service: The service was great. I mentioned it was my first time, and the lady behind the counter sweetly suggested I could get a thinner slice of the fudge -- such a thoughtful touch. Overall, worth visiting if you're a chocolate lover. I'll definitely be back to try more.
