    This place is so cayute! Helpful staff. They noticed we were first timers and they explained menu…read moreand how to order. They have good amount of pints 'to go' a TON of toppings and VEGAN OPTIONS!!! Open space, tables to sit down and eat. Clean large bathroom too. Now the dessert creations were impeccable. Fresh waffle cones and fresh toppings. I kept it simple with a pecan crumble on vegan vanilla. Wifey got a strawberry 'something' with pieces of cheesecake. When I tell you they are precise with the placement of the toppings to ensure you have even bites--- I mean it.

    Lu & Aug's is such a special place. If not for the massive number of calories I consume every time…read moreI enter the place I would go there ALL THE TIME. Each visit is a discovery of new deliciousness and temptations for the tastebuds. Last time I went with a decaf affogato with vanilla softserve, the classic. SO GOOD! 5*/5. I've been dreaming about getting it again so finally went today. and was immediately distracted by their extensive hot chocolate and drinking chocolate menu which now I need to go back and try. While I thought I'd go for the classic decaf affogato, I was enticed by the espresso X version which includes a warm chocolate chip brownie, hot fudge, rice krispie sprinkles, and the decaf espresso (at my request), vanilla and chocolate twist (other options just vanilla or just chocolate) - for the same price as the classic. How could I resist? Amazing - 5*/5 I have yet to try something at Lu & Aug's that isn't outstanding.

    When I last reviewed this place 11 years ago, I was disappointed and stayed away for years…read more I started going again around 2021, and they are so back. They still make the best cookies in the world (nostalgia may be a factor). Fresh, flavorful, and not too sweet. I've tried most flavors, and they're fantastic. FAVE COOKIES - caramel pecan (delicious, love the soft caramel) - lemon cooler (totally unique to Hope's, get one) - sugar (they use the best sprinkles, sweet and crunchy but not waxy!) - peanut butter (classic) - pumpkin spice (seasonal, tastes like actual pumpkin!) The vanilla ice cream is also better than what you can find in stores, so I pick up a pint whenever possible. Goes great with the cookies! The service is always friendly and quick even when they're busy with huge college orders, and it's easily one of my favorite counters to order from in the area. I always tip, because other quick service restaurants have made me appreciate this so much. They share the space with a pizza place, so unfortunately there isn't much Hope's-specific indoor seating. But the benches outside are cute, and cozy in decent weather. I wish their other locations were still open, so appreciate this one if you have regular access! The only other one I've found is a mini stand in a souvenir shop in Reading Terminal Market, and their selection isn't as good.

    Cookies are delicious!! Best chocolate chip cookies around. Service is always good and ordering in…read moreadvance is a great option.
