The blue color was fun, and the ice cream reminded me of sea foam on boba: light, creamy, and slightly salty. It added a rich touch to the matcha. I prefer the regular iced matcha over a latte, especially with the ice cream. There was some construction outside, but the inside was super cute. Service was good, was pretty busy and drinks didn't take too long at all. 4.5/5

There's a "help keep the lights on" donation box right as you walk in/out. All the games are cheap, usually $.50 to play, just like they have been for years. There was a power surge and we lost $4 of progress in our Simpsons game run, and the owner pulled money out of his pocket to make up for the time we lost. A lot of reviews are complaining about the price of the icecream, but you have to understand this place needs to be able to keep its lights on. This isn't a place that's was designed to make money, it was designed to be a get together for families, and having fresh stock icecream when your games are all under a dollar is expensive. Will be revisiting soon!

Cute place located near our favorite matcha café and restaurants we enjoy. It is very tiny and…read morenostalgic. Several fun games and some claw machines. It is packed with a lot to look at in a tiny space. We came during the week when most people are at school or work, so I do not know how busy this place might get. We did not get any ice cream, so I cannot speak to the freshness of the food, but they did have a nice variety of flavors and the prices looked good. I am not sure of the portions or anything, but I would be willing to come back and try. I owner did offer samples, but since I was not buying on this day, I declined. The owner seemed very nice. He said he was inspired by Marvin's and was happy to hear we thought it reminded us of his childhood hangout. He was super interested in ideas. I would like to come back again when we have more time to hangout and explore more in the future.

While the design was exactly what I asked for and they were easy to work with and so responsive, unfortunately the cake was so dry none of us could eat it. I reached out to the same person I'd been coordinating with and they never responded. I don't know if something changed or if their chocolate cake is just super dry, but would recommend sampling first if you decide to go with them.

They did not have creamer in the condiment station (red flag for me; I don't do mini moos). However, they offered to pour in real half and half for me, that they store behind the counter. The coffee was delicious, strong, and fresh. We had sugar cookies and baklava. Wonderful. The bakery cases were massive and large selection. The staff greeted us from the kitchen and walked towards the counter to help us. The seating is limited, but we were able to relax in the cozy sitting area with fireplace. Lots of light; bright, and vibrant colors. They offer ice cream too. Overall, excellent.

In recent years they have started doing fun specials for every season. We love seeing the flavor of the week and that's usually what I order! The chocolate cherry flurry is also a big hit in my family. Last summer we tried a retreat bag, a new special they started. For $10, we got 5 mystery or "wrongly made" desserts! I really appreciate them adding an affordable option for the family that benefits both the customer and reduces waste for the business. They always have a line down the street and sometime creates traffic jams! That's how you know it's good!

The atmosphere was very nice. I held the door for a group of lady customers as I was entering and they were exiting. I heard them say, "I love this place." A group of young people that came in behind me shortly after were speaking amongst themselves while we were waiting to be served. They were also taking about how much they love this place and how they were here at the Grand Opening or first day open. I knew I had made a good choice. Kenny and Olivia were the servers and they did an excellent job taking care of the guests. The place was busier than I imagined a frozen dessert style restaurant would be on a late Sunday evening. Regardless everyone was served swiftly but with attention to detail. We had a group of seven and at least three groups of 5 or more came in behind us. I didn't see one customer that was dissatisfied whatsoever. There are so many flavors in the showcase. I wanted to try them all!!! I understand that they rotate the flavors too so perhaps next time will be a totally different experience. I can't wait to come back and try some more. They do allow you to sample multiple flavors. I tried 3-4 before just placing my order. I don't think that it's possible to pick a bad flavor. I ordered the largest size so that I could get three flavors. All three were splendid. I'm already excited for my next visit.

Serving great apple cider for over 150 years. Our family has been visiting Yates for 60 years!…read more History The company started as a sawmill in 1863. The apple smashing began eleven years later. The huge building you enter today was constructed in 1894 when the business focused primarily on cider production. So many changes over the years...yet many things remain intact. Was Harry Yates responsible for starting the tradition of donuts and cider back in the 1930's? Today These days you'll be able to buy Frankenmuth Fudge, Zak & Mac's chocolates and Posey's hot dogs and snacks, all at Yates. They've also added a small petting farm. The list of Yates products has expanded well beyond just donuts. Today, we bought a 1/2 peck of our favourite apples, the honeycrisp, as well as Aged Bourbon syrup, applesauce, pickles, hard candy for the grandkids and even a cool sweatshirt. Cider prep Somewhere along the line they changed their processing to UV light treating which pretty much obliterates the mother at the bottom of the jug and has a definite effect on the overall taste. So to confirm our suspicions we bought a half gallon (with donuts, of course). We were right. Nature trails? There are three immediate trails ranging from 1 to 1-1/2 mile loops We spent an hour on their Railroad Trail a.k.a. The Yates Trail. A mile long walking loop. With plenty of colour. Nothing like a walk with nature. Parking has always been a challenge. There is an overflow across the road. Mostly it's just a matter of patience. Pro Tip: Try to come on a weekday morning. Weekends in the fall are filled with families. The staff was hurried but cordial, as usual. We've always found long lines here. So that's to be expected. The bees were down significantly this year so it was a highly successful day! 10/25
