    Nasty watery corn in the cup
    Iriana M.

    Got a corn in the cup and tasted bad.... I go to several locations and never had an experience like this I went back inside to see if they can remake it or if I can get something else for same or less price than what I've paid and the lady tells me sorry I can't remake it or give you something else!! They also only accept cash... another red flag

    Mexican corn
    Amanda T.

    I ordered 3 Mexican corn and 3 Troles today. I gave the Troles immediately to my kiddos and saved the corn until I got home. Well when I opened the corn it was a joke. It's supposed to have cheese, Mayo, creama and spices...ha it basically only consisted of corn and a teaspoon of cream, teaspoon of cheese and splash of spices. I paid $15($5 a per cup) for 3 large cups of corn!!! If I wanted plan corn I would've gone to the darn grocery store! I will be calling the franchise tomorrow when we they open!! Im extremely disappointed!!!

    Small Complementary Extra Chile Containers
    Jessica D.

    This is one of my go to places for elote. I always get the large cup of the yellow corn. They serve a fair amount of queso && chile, it is enough for the entire cup. I personally always need more chile though. When we've asked for extra in the store they have giving us a small amount free of charge. On the last occasion I took a cup to go and when I asked for extra chile I was charged an additional dollar. They do give it to you in those condiment containers but it's not filled all the way. The mangonadas are okay, I've had better.

    Joanne V.

    Located in the Value Village off of Gessner Drive in the corner right hand side. They are fairly new so they are working out the kinks. The service is friendly. My boyfriend, friend, and I ordered the following: My corn was watery but the flavor was good. Mexican corn (2.75) small The explosiones is a mangonada mixed with mango chunks. (5.75) 16oz Troles (watermelon ice) 6oz 1.75 My friend says the ice is soft and they aren't shiesty with the ice. Overall, this place is promising! They have a wide variety of options on their menu. Ranging from burgers to different desserts! I'd definitely check them out again and try different things!

    Mangonada in the size 10 oz.
    Jovanna R.

    Came here after a workout and ordered a mangonada. I usually go to a different place around the same area for food like this, but I decided to try it out since I've never been. I enjoyed my mangonada and will look forward to come again and try something new. A plus is that the place is spacey and has indoor and outdoor seating (:

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

The strawberry mousse cake was frozen solid, so I was not able to eat it right away but it was a lovely mousse with jelly fruit filling and a thick chocolate crust. Also got a bag of chocolates, which are weighed by the pound. The only qualm I have is that the chocolates are not labeled, so when you mix them all together, it truly is a bit of a Russian roulette on what you'll get. Everything was super yummy. Will definitely need to be back!

This is not a place you go to just have lunch or something.This place is an experience. Some adults might find joy in here (like I do), but my children definitely did, and that's worth it. They came here with the same excitement that they had for disneyland so I'm really happy about that. We all liked the harry potter experience and some different anime type experiences as well that my children liked. The foods and drinks are on theme and although it's not cheap, it's definitely not as much as Disneyland. We came on the weekends, but during lunchtime, and I can see how they might be really busy during the dinner rush. Sometimes you might need a timed entry to go in, but thankfully, we have not since we've been going. I will say that it's quite small and gets cramped really fast.

I ended up paying for fast passes (they do release free fast passes, but those get scooped up quickly, and I was able to pay $3 per ticket on eventbrite to snag fast passes). Our pass was for 1pm and we were inside by 1:10pm. They do reserve the tables initially for the fast passes, at least when we came in at our time and it was great because I couldn't imagine being here without a table since I had a group of little ones with me! The staff were super friendly and worked as quickly as they could. There was a little bit of stress because of volume of orders and people, but they did the best they could and handled the traffic well. We got a variety of drinks and each enjoyed them-- I will say, all of the drinks are on the sweeter side, but definitely standard for kids. We literally got one of everything on the menu and I wasn't able to grab photos before the kids enjoyed them, but that's the whole point! The add ons can become pricey, but for the enjoyment of your little ones, it's definitely worth it! For food, we got the Derpy spam rice, ramen and grilled cheese. The kids all really enjoyed it and definitely wanted to come back for the next pop up themed cafe!

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.
