We enjoyed it…read more After eating dinner nearby, we decided to find some pie in the area for a little dessert. We ended up at Emporium because on a Sunday evening. They are open until 9 pm. We ordered as to-go items: - Two decaf coffees - Slice of Cherry Bomb cherry pie - Slice of Smooth Operator chocolate pie I loved the richness of my Smooth Operator pie. My wife liked her cherry pie but was not fond of the crust. She wishes they had more variety in non-chocolate options. Service was friendly and the interior was clean, homey and had seating for about 24. I'm sure we'll be back to Emporium Pie.

(I wish I had asked them to zap it for 20-23 secs. for a slight warm up.) Servers were kind and helpful. $8 is fairly high for the serving size IMHO.

There are also a lot of Mochi donuts and cookies to choose from in the glass case. Arrive early to ensure all baked goods are still available. They sell out quickly. The shop is adorably kitschy. The loud vibrant colors aren't overshadowed by the loud vibrant music. LOL! It is a cute place to hang out for a bit. It's more of an energy recharge than chill spot. The Nutella Biscoff cookie was good, not great, but good. It was surprisingly not too sweet and a nice mid day dessert. There is plenty of parking as this place is located in the Montgomery Plaza shopping center. I will come back to try some more drinks and a donut.

We were getting a drink after lunch, I got their milk tea and added black boba, my husband got a lemonade and our kid got a s'mores cookie. They have a plethora of drink options and quite a few cookie and donut options as well. We originally had an issue with the cookie that we bought, but we discovered it while we were still in the store and the staff quickly addressed it and replaced the cookie. They have a shared parking lot. So you may have to walk a little ways and they are conveniently located around a lot of different stores. We would definitely stop back by when we are in the area.

It didn't taste outstanding or anything but the churros were good. Would I come back to try them again? No probably not, unless they came up with something new on the menu. The area was nice and it's an outside seating since it's a food truck. There's other ones but they were not open the day that we went.

Each doughnut recipe includes GF oats, oat milk, whey protein, egg, coconut oil, & stevia. Then fresh FRESH fresh flavors are added - like REAL blueberries for the Blueberry Protein Doughnut. Will try their coffee next time. TIP: These are light and cakey, baked doughnuts (not the fried, make your teeth ache, go right to your hips kind). Location is off N Riverside Dr. Parking is limited, so be patient and be willing to walk a block or two. Staff is very nice and asks about allergies (thank you!). Decor is bright white, minimalists. Few tables & chairs plus a big couch for lounging while eating your treat. Enjoy!

Definitely on the sweeter end, but if you like banana and sweet you will enjoy it. I'm happy that they have more seating in the back, because I wasn't wanting to sit out on the porch (summer heat). We will be coming back!

Went to Ampersand with a few friends and ended up staying for about 3 hours. The matcha was decent…read moreand honestly pretty good for a $7 matcha. My biggest gripe is the parking. If you don't get one of the free spots right in front, you have to pay, on the weekend it was free for the first 2 hours. Paying for parking is always a deal breaker for me when it comes to grabbing a matcha. Also, they played Disney Channel-type music pretty much the entire 3 hours we were there. A little more variety would've been nice. Even some calm lo-fi music would've fit better since most people were studying or catching up with friends. It was just a little distracting after a while. That said, I'd still come back, especially since they have events here pretty regularly.

Still rather pricy even after the discount for a pint of ice cream, but I really wanted to try these flavors. I got a Pint - Texas Lavender Honey Crunch, which was really creamy and had the swirls of honey with a hint of lavender. My bf wasn't a fan, since he doesn't like flower tasting desserts, but I like it. I also got the Pint - Peach Cobbler Cheesecake, since I saw it as a new flavor. It had chunks of cheesecake with a peach flavored ice cream. I didn't see any peaches, but maybe it has some towards the bottom. Overall, a pretty good ice cream haul.

Manager said yes it will be 30 minutes, ring order and walks to back. I grab receipt and walked outside outside to wait. 15 mins pass and I walk inside to get greeted horribly by manager who mentions he won't give order next time because I reached and grabbed my receipt. After disagreement he goes on to say he was calling the police and that I had to leave the store. Security came in and asked about situation and I explained. Told him he had no valid reason to make me leave and no reason to refuse my purchase. I sat until he called police so I could get a report for records. Not only did he call the police he lied and told them that I had threatened him and called some guys from next door to witness I suppose. This is not a good look for your company and have someone working at your company that lacks proper management skills. I have documented this incident with the police report and hope to never see his face again! Considering contacting news outlet as well! He had no reason to display discriminatory behavior towards me. Basically manager had me wait 30 minutes to deny my purchase after waiting, call the police then lie to say I threatened him. As I mention and told manager and police, there's cameras in here go do a playback!
