Picked it up, immediately said "Um... i ordered this with no foam...this is ALL foam." Staff person poured it down the drain, giving me major attitude. Not a "sorry, I'll make you a new one" ...not a word actually. Little things matter. Headed back to EVP from now on...much, much friendlier service.

Glazed Pumpkin Spice Donut: Duck Donuts was founded in 2007 in Duck, North Carolina (although…read morethey're headquartered in Pennsylvania). They've since expanded to numerous locations across the U.S. and even overseas. Their mascot is Ollie the Duck, who can be found on the sign and packaging. I learned a few things on my first visit. All the donuts are cake style donuts (as opposed to raised/yeast, which I tend to prefer) and they're made to order. The made to order is a pro and a con as you don't have to stress that they will sell out, but you might have to wait a bit for your order. You can also order ahead, but at this time there is no app and I had issues (which were resolved) with placing an order on their website. Being October and a lover of pumpkin desserts, I had to try the Glazed Pumpkin Spice Donut. It comes glazed with cinnamon sugar and pumpkin spice buttercream. The body of the donut was heavy, dense, and pleasantly chewing with just the right amount of moistness and not too dry and cakey. Flavor was sweet, buttery, and of course pumpkin with hints of cinnamon. I loved the gritty sugar granules, but they were sadly confined to just the pumpkin buttercream island in the center. I'm always a little anxious that a pumpkin spice dessert will be too spicy or a burning spice, but this was sweet, not overpowering, and delicious.

This was my first time eating Somalian food and sought this place out given the recent…read moretactics/aggressions aimed at Somalians. I just wanted to show my support. The place is in a strip mall - nothing fancy. I couldn't find anything online about this place other than they existed - no hours, no menus, no social media, no website. In 2026, that is frustrating and has to severely hurt their business. When you walk in there is no obvious flow - you don't know whether to wait to be seated or order at the counter, etc. I had a VERY hard time understanding the employee - he spoke very softly and his accent was so thick, I felt terrible asking him to repeat everything. I asked for a suggestion on what to order and he suggested a $45 meal. This was lunch time and I wasn't about to spend that much on a lunch. I settled on goat meat and rice. It was a LOT of food (mostly rice). The meat was good - my first time eating goat. (It wasn't b-a-a-a-a-d) They serve it with lettuce and onions which, to me, is an odd combo, which made me all the more excited about trying something new. I ate it all, but it was hard to finish that much. Meal was about $20 which is extremely high IMO given that it was mostly rice. I don't know how long they've been in business but given the lack of a digital footprint, it makes me think they are fairly new, so probably the reason for the price. There were several customers there - I was the only white dude in there and got some strange looks, but understand that I'm probably the minority of their customers, plus given the above mentioned way they've been treated - I get it. If this were a chain or well known restaurant, I'd probably give it three or four stars, but given everything I mentioned in this post, I will proudly give them 5 stars. Try it out!! I'll return to try something a little more adventurous. As I was walking out I noticed that one person was eating their meal with their hands (including rice) and another was scooping theirs with small wooden object. It must be custom in Somalia and I wish I had known because I would have done the same to get the true experience. I was given silverware unasked which I appreciated. Can't wait to return.

Our first taste seemed bland. We were told that traditionally dishes would arrive to the table already seasoned, but some customers found them too hot, so they now let each diner add their own sauce. The lunch menu is comprised primarily of a choice of meat and either rice or pasta, the latter being a leftover from Italian colonization of Somalia. I had the goat and pasta, both of which benefited by the (judicious) addition of the hot green sauce by itself or diluted a bit with the mild white sauce. The goat was a bit tough but had a nice flavor. It came with a lime wedge and some chopped lettuce, onion, and green pepper. My husband had the beef chapati and was "underwhelmed." The chapati was quite soggy and the dish was heavy on potatoes for his taste. We both enjoyed the sweet and spicy Somali tea, a chai type that is enjoyably heavy on cloves. This family restaurant is definitely worth a stop.
