I've been to hot springs all over the world and this place needs to make some improvements to say the least. First there are 2 'suites' and it was really nice if you weren't directly next to the other suite. The people had on their speaker and it was so loud. Even if they had it lower you could still hear everything they said. We had a speaker too but we would just have competed with them. It was hard to relax especially cause we didn't like their music. And the tubs. Ughh. They were black and old. And nasty. The provided shower only had cold water so not much of a shower. No soap either. They advertised food but the only thing they had was cheese. The only positive was the lady that worked there. Super nice. We booked for early afternoon and late in the evening. We are canceling our evening appointment and losing $100 because it was too late to cancel. When you spend $100 for an hour you expect more. Really disappointed. Oh and they NEVER answer the phone. Tried to reach someone for 3 days and always get vm. Can't leave a message. So we are just not showing for our evening appointment.

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

So on Sunday we headed out and found that the place was turned into a bed & breakfast. We drove by and noticed Urban Herbal. What we didn't know was that the owner (William Varney) sold the herb farm back in 2007 but had some land adjacent to it and opened up Urban Herbal in 2010. I know that mid-February is not the time to visit if you want to see the garden in it's full glory, however the gift shop & labyrinth makes it worth the trip. We parked in the private lot and headed towards the garden where we were warmly greeted by William. He escorted us to his gift shop and I was so amazed at the variety of products he created to stock the shelves in this little store. From infused oils, herbal soaps, bath vinegars, bath salts/scrubs & lotions for the body, pet care to herbs for the grill, vinegars & seasonings for the palate, the offerings were mind boggling. William's knowledge was impressive to say the least and we were very happy that we got to spend some time talking with him personally, picking his brain. I ended up purchasing some incense, detoxifying body oil (juniper, geranium & grapefruit), lavendar/mint home fragrance, eucalyptus home fragrance, Herbs de Povence, lavendar/champagne vinegar & balsamic coffee/fig vinegar. After our purchases, William escorted us to the back garden. It was really wonderful to let my mind wander & meditate while I walked the labyrinth. William mentioned that he will begin workshops this spring. I am fuzzy on the details but he did mention that they will be posted on his website soon. I am truly happy that I was able to meet William. He is such a delight and has a wonderful, positive energy. I left Urban Herbal feeling refreshed & content. Definitely worth a return trip!

I stopped in today (Tuesday) at around 6:45am and was greeted by two lovely ladies that were so friendly! I tried their tacos for the first time and they're homemade with lots of love and flavor! There's tables to sit and enjoy your tacos/pan and cafecito before heading to work and tackling the day. The best way to start your day is with smiling faces and delicious tacos! IMO I've had their pineapple empanadas and the dough is thin with lots of filling The donuts are so soft and the chocolate is rich! I almost grabbed a sausage and jalapeños Kolache but went with the tacos. I'll report back once I've tried it. I paid a little under $15 for nine donuts, three empanadas and two tacos! Updates: Be careful when ordering bfast tacos. The bag was soaked in grease and leaked onto my seat. Taco was worth it though. Chicken salad combo for $5 was great! Chicken salad on a fresh baked bread, bag of chips and a soda. You can't beat that. It was a pretty decent size too!

Said that the driver must have gotten the wrong order then said that they did get me my right order. Then said I could go pick it up and she had customers in line and hung up on me.

Instead there is a butter texture. The cake is stale and dry. Tastes old. The decoration of the cake was supposed to be a simple outline of miffy which is a bunny with 2 eyes and an "x" for a mouth. They put this nasty gelatin texture paper on top of a random bunny which also has a hair on it. Called to see if any changes could be made or if a partial refund could be made. Was spoken to with a woman with the worst customer service. Took 5 calls for someone to answer. She stated the cake was what I asked for when it definitely wasn't what was told during consultation. They got my hard earned money that's for sure to play around with food. Will never support this business again. Birthday ruined. Thanks girly pop.
