I usually just grab something from their case so I can get out of there quickly. The restaurant is always packed so I never got a chance to sit down here.

Decided to come here on a date night after dinner and this place was delightful!…read more There is a large free parking ramp next to this place! If you walk from the parking ramp, down to Bellecour Cafe and look straight across the street, you will see this place! The vibes in here are honestly lacking and the only reason I dropped a star. There is very little seating, so expect to take your ice cream to go. In the summer, that's not a problem as there is ample seating outside! But during the cooler months, there is only one table and a couple of small benches. Everything here is also white and with a name like "sweet science" I was expecting more "science stuff" The staff here was absolutely lovely!! Very polite and super friendly! You are allowed to try samples and these gals seemed to be having fun with their job! Down to business: The ice cream was DELICIOUS! I am lactose intolerant, so having some vegan (dairy free) options was great! It looks like they use cashew milk for most of those bases. I hate cashews but this didn't taste like cashews at all! I got the vanilla chocolate chip and it was creamy, perfect vanilla and the chocolate chips added a very nice texture! Would highly recommend!! My boyfriend got a mint ice cream with cookie dough pieces and a marshmallow fluff that they torched! Very good! He was extremely impressed! I would absolutely recommend this place!

A quick walk over to this small shop. The space isn't necessarily for hanging out, but it's clean and modern. Perfect to grab and go for a stroll around the 50th and France shoppes. The staff was incredibly friendly and positive, when when we showed up right before closing. The ice cream was perfect! Creamy and dreamy, not icy at all! I had their Coffee and Cookie flavor, which had a strong, pleasantly bitter coffee taste, balanced perfectly with cream and cookie bits. A lovely scoop for sure!

We got a cup of ice cream. He got Cappuccino Break, and I got strawberry. Strawberry is my favorite ice cream flavor. If you like coffee and chocolate, then you'd enjoy the CB. My friend really enjoyed it. It was too chocolatey for me. I do not like chocolate, so it stands to reason why I'd not love it. The strawberry ice cream made me think of when we'd make ice cream at home when we were children. It was hard work, yet always worth it. There was a great balance of strawberries to creaminess. The service was quick and friendly, and I'm glad that we stopped by. Will probably go again on Saturday, as we'll be back in the area. My son loved their Superman ice cream, so we'll see if he still wants to eat is all these years later. If you're in the area, stop by. You, your taste buds, and your tummy, will be glad that you did.

The selection is large, and they are contantly replenishing the shelves with fresh-baked goods. A lot of those are on the pricey side, which might contribute to a bougie reputation for this chain. But the items on the drink menu are much more reasonable. I had a matcha lemonade that was just okay; I don't think I'd order it again because you can't really mix it the way they serve it to you. But they have a whole bunch of interesting coffee and tea options. I also had a hot item that was pretty good. They have a heater that looks like something from a convenience store, and there are hot offerings in there like the flatbread-esque thing I had. It did actually taste quite good, but I think if they are serious about hot items they could manage a better presentation. There are compelling selections in that little box. The pastries I bought were absolutely delicious. Again kind of pricey, but the quality is immediately noticeable and I will 100% be back for some of those things. And I'll probably try some coffees & teas in the future.

The pastries here are really good! You have to try a little bit of everything, it's hard to not go crazy here and grab everything. The taro flavored pastries are my favorite. Just grab a tray on your way in and pick up whatever pastries look tasty to you with the tongs provided. You also have to try out their drinks here. They are really good! I would recommend the matcha. They are usually really busy so they aren't too friendly but they keep things moving. They do take the time to wrap up your pastries for you. I usually just grab my stuff to go since seating is limited when it's busy. It's a great spot to stop in for a sweet treat or quick snack throughout the day.

There are so many waffle combinations and drinks to choose from! I had the Oreo Up waffle and it…read morewas delicious. The bubble waffle was cooked fresh to order and was fluffy and slightly sweet. The oreo ice cream was standard, and it was topped with a generous amount of oreos. The waffle soaked up the ice cream as it melted without getting too soggy. The color changing spoon was a fun touch. There is free parking in the lot outside, and plenty of seating on the inside. It's very clean and the volume is on the quieter side. They also sell bags of their waffle mix so you can make it at home.

Super cute and clean place!…read more Coco loco is a refreshing coconut water drink with basil seeds, aloe Vera, and lychee jelly. Perfect for something sweet but not overly heavy. Berrylicious waffle comes with raspberry chocolate chip ice cream, fresh blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. The waffle is perfectly cooked - fluffy with a little density and crisp. The sweetness is all balanced together.

Came here for brunch and loved it…read more It's tucked into the bottom of an apartment building, so it's a bit unexpected, but once you're inside it has such a luxe, chic vibe. The space feels elevated and really well designed. Parking is a little limited in the lot, but there are additional options across the street which helps. Our server Baye took amazing care of us and gave great recommendations. Service overall was really strong and made the experience even better. The menu is impressive with a wide variety of flavorful options, and I really appreciated that they clearly label gluten free items. Such a great touch. They have classic brunch options but also some great savory, sweet, and worldly flavored options.

Wasn't too busy when we arrived but by time we left it was packed. The food is asian fusion, very unique dishes and flavor profiles. I went with Wings and Fries, my friend got wings (a different flavor) and chips and salsa. I honestly didn't care for the wings. the texture of the batter/skin was off putting for me (looks like it would be crispy but pretty soggy). They had a lot of flavor though spice wise. The staff were pretty attentive. They kind of all worked together to do whatever needed to be done to help. Super nice ambiance! They even have a photography policy but you can't see it unless you use the restroom. The bathrooms were even a vibe- cute decor, birds chirping (lofi sounds), and warm hand towels. To the right of the bar is a super cute dining room filled with plants. The seating and all is just impressive here.

Was too sweet for me, but I just wasn't sure. Next time I'll get 50% and I think that will be perfect. I am excited to go back! I loved the variety of matcha orders you could get, so I am excited to try more.

It struck just the right balance without being overly sweet, making it the perfect little indulgence for a Sunday sweet tooth. Most orders are placed through one of the two kiosks available, which keeps things moving efficiently and makes customizing your drink super easy. The space itself is incredibly clean, beautifully decorated, and has such a welcoming ambiance that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. I'll definitely be coming back to try their pastries next -- everything looked too good to pass up.

The place was empty. Eventually an employee came out. No greeting or anything just stood there until we ordered. I almost always get cake batter w/ Kit Kat mixed in. One thing I've always liked about Cold Stone is that the ice cream is thicker and doesn't melt so fast but not sure if the utensils they used were warm or what but my ice cream was a bit soft & pretty melted by time all 3 orders were made & we paid. It was good otherwise. Place was fairly clean. They have 2-3 tables to dine in. Parking is easy, as it's in a strip mall as well as shared larger parking lot.

I came here for the first time as I live right down the road and I would never recommend this place to anyone. I had an incredibly frustrating experience and unfortunately there wasn't any type of resolution that was given to us - not even an apology. The kid at the register simply told me he was new. I understand things happen but at least have a team meeting or something and get your crap figured out. Extremely disappointed. Not a fun experience. Not a place I'd go back to unless they are able to make things right. I have a daughter in TEARS because of my experience and I have been up all night thinking about what to do. Hence why this review is coming at 5am. Stay away from this place and go somewhere else.
