Local art on the walls add a nice touch. They offer a large number of syrups and about six sugar free options. Had a handful of pastries that I'm pretty sure we're bought (homemade would be nice but don't think that's happening). Prices were great - $3.50-5.50 for lattes and $2.50 or so for a giant muffin. The gentleman running the shop was as hometown friendly as can be. We enjoyed it and will be back!

We will never be shopping at the River Perk.

Came to this location and to a couple others a few times while in the area. Coming from SoCal, the…read morehype was not worth it. I most frequently order the same three flavors at any ice cream establishment: Banana, Buckeye/Peanut Butter, and Birthday Cake. The Buckeye/Peanut Butter was mostly vanilla, super disappointed, but appreciate the fact it's homemade ice cream, so every scoop is different. The banana is fake! Don't even waste your time on a scoop of banana unless you bring your own to mix into a vanilla, if you are as obsessed with banana ice cream as I am. The birthday cake was decent, but not the best I've had. The ratio of icing to ice cream was fantastic, I will admit. The times that I've come here, the service was up to standard. The staff were kind. The ambiance is fast casual, you can sit and eat your ice cream at a quick table or go through the drive thru. The servings are decently sized for the price. The ice cream is creamy and airy but makes you feel so full after!

We just happened upon this place as we were in the joint parking lot of Can a Brotha Get a Slice…read more As I was paying for our pizza, a lady approached me asking whether we wanted cheesecake. I was a little confused but I quickly learned that The Cheesecake Empori-yum is a distinct business. The woman was a friend of the owner and she kindly walked me through the cheesecake options that were available. I was debating between the white chocolate triple berry and the pineapple upside down cake for my husband and the snickers and red velvet for me. I went with the daily special - pineapple upside down cake - and red velvet. The cheesecake slices were $5.15 each, which was perhaps a little hefty for the size of the slice but still reasonable I thought. The pineapple upside down cake cheesecake came out hot. I was told that the cake portion had just been baked. I must admit that it looked very different than what I was imagining it to look like (i.e. Cheesecake Factory) as the cake was falling apart. We refrigerated it for a few hours before trying it so that the cheesecake portion would be cold. While good, this dessert very much looked and tasted like cake and not cheesecake. There was also a texture issue for me as it was all very soft versus having distinct cake and cheesecake textures. We thought that the red velvet cheesecake was more successful. It was rich and creamy and the red velvet flavor came through nicely. The slice held up well and had a nice Oreo crust. It was perfectly baked. We were rushing some so I didn't see the full menu. Next time, I'd love to try the soul food egg rolls!

I'm not sure why, but I've been thinking a lot about my time as a student in Alabama. As a lonely…read moreCalifornia transplant years ago, I remember feeling a little uneasy about the prospect of being in such a new place without any of my normal comforts -- including my favorite places to get comfort food. Naturally, one of the first things I did was seek out some new local places to fill the role of my favorite spots back home. This search led me right to The Cheesecake Empori-Yum; after all, what could possibly be more comforting than a cheesecake? I can definitely say that I found what I was looking for. I may have had better cheesecake experiences in the past, but certainly not by much -- it's hard to exaggerate how good the cheesecakes are here. I might recommend trying the original in addition to any specialty slices you order, just to give yourself a benchmark. The last time I visited, I went with the Reese's cheesecake -- peanut butter fiend that I am, I ordered a peanut butter cheesecake with chocolate crust, crushed Reese's Cups, and chocolate drizzle was only right. It was wonderfully dense and beautifully creamy, just as always. I did wish that the peanut butter flavor of the cheesecake itself came through more, though; the peanut butter notes were overshadowed a bit by the stronger chocolate flavor from the crust/drizzle. Although the cheesecakes are fantastic, I think the best part of all is the amazingly friendly service. You often here the phrase "service with a smile," but here you will find that to the tenth degree. The owner is so very friendly, and it's evident she puts her heart and soul into everything she makes. A little shop with a big heart... you can tell each item is made with love. Come by for a slice... or three. I won't judge.

My husband got the 9 oz fillet and we split the red potatoes, Mac, and cream spinach. They started us off with what tasted like house made butter and bread with an olive oil and herb dipping sauce. It was delicious and I had to remind myself that I had a big meal to save for. The lobster was perfectly seasoned and deliciously tender. The melted butter made it perfect. I had a bite of the filet and it was so tender. There was a pesto dipping sauce that was amazing. I would've taken it home if I was brave enough to ask! I had a southern hurricane and it was good. Not about of alcohol but that doesn't really matter to me. The restaurant itself is nice. The food is definitely nice than the atmosphere but that's the better of the two options! At the end of the meal they brought out house made truffles served over dry ice. It was quite the show and so yummy. They surprised us with a slice of cheesecake embellished with "happy anniversary. " not a big cheesecake fan but it was good! Lastly, the waiters and waitresses deliver a red rose to the every woman after dinner. It was so sweet to walk around the casino with it. Would definitely return!
