Service was top notch with friendly folks greeting you the moment you enter the doors. Our bartender was so sweet and so welcoming. Had me a $10 Paloma cocktail that was just right and went to town on dessert. Everything was just delicious. Fresh made whip cream, perfectly balanced sweetness with the desserts and cute atmosphere. Loved my first time here and it won't be my last!

I ordered the pumpkin crème brûlée and the chai espresso martini…read more The pumpkin crème brûlée was good flavor-wise, but unfortunately, the sugar on top wasn't properly caramelized into that signature crunchy layer. Without that contrast in texture, it ate more like a pumpkin custard or pudding than a traditional crème brûlée. As for the chai espresso martini, it was okay, but the flavors were a bit muted. My friends ordered some of the other espresso martini flavors, and after trying theirs, I found those to be much more flavorful. The chai version just didn't stand out in comparison. Overall, neither was bad, but both left a little to be desired. I'd definitely choose a different espresso martini flavor next time.

With the cooler weather their hot sweet soups hit the spot. My favorite is the seasonal hot almond soup with boba, red bean and taro balls. If you prefer cold desserts, they have a delicious icy grass jelly or if that's not your thing, they have huge bowls of shaved ice with fruit (mangoes, strawberries). They have a variety of bubble teas and freshly made bubble waffles.

They do have a loyalty program as well. There are a couple tables inside as well as a couple tables outside on the sidewalk. The service is always friendly and do a great job. My favourite is their banana filled Nutella dipped in hazelnut crunch ! Heaven in a bite! I also liked their pistachio bar dipped in dark chocolate topped w/ almond pieces. My mom was obsessed with their seasonal special Dubai chocolate paleta, which I felt was a tad bit expensive I think almost $11 or $12 for a single paleta. Anyhoo, My hubs and I always get 2 (one to share and one to go) but we end up eating both on the way back home.

Stopped by Morelia Gourmet Paletas after a nice dinner nearby and wow this was a pleasant surprise…read more When you arrive parking can be difficult in this area as you'll need to find street parking or park in a nearby lot/garage. The ice cream shop is located in the smoky hollow area and is across the street from Madre. Walking into the shop it feels modern, social media friendly, and you can see the assembly line where your paleta can be customized. To order you'll walk up to the counter and place your order with the cashier. I went for the strawberry cheesecake paleta dipped in white chocolate, covered in graham cracker crumbs, and topped with caramel drizzle. The paleta was delicious and I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors.

This spot is located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, so parking is mostly going to be street parking and there are a few parking decks nearby. I ended up getting their version of an affogato with vanilla bean ice cream. It was delightful! You really can't go wrong with an affogato. They were quite busy for a Monday night and so it took a little bit to get our ice cream but there is seating inside and outside of the shop, so you can relax while you wait.

They sell reg cones, waffle cones, and pints to go. We got 2 reg cones. Black Raspberry and Peanut butter Fudge. It was so good. The cone was also good. I definetly recommend them for a quick sweet treat. Lactose intolerant you say, well they sell lactaid pills for .$.50 . They have so E benches outside if you want to take a seat or stroll around the many shops at RIW.

The flavor selections are unique, and the quality of ingredients are fresh and top notch. I am always partial to anything chocolate or coffee flavored, so my go to is the Oreo coffee flavor. I've also tried their sundaes, and I appreciate that it's not the typical sundae. You can get your scoop of choice, plus a topping and sauce of choice. If you stop by at a time when it's not super busy, the staff have the extra time to help you decide what to get (and typically you can sample up to two flavors). So worth the repeat visits!

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because one day I went into the store and the cashier taking my order was not pleasant and he seemed annoyed when I asked for him to add the Dubai chocolate to my pancakes.

Fortunately, I found a spot in the 15 minute parking area (around the corner a little from Milk Lab). There wasn't anyone else inside, and the employee greeted me quickly and was friendly. I had looked at the menu ahead of time since there are so many options. I ordered the banana milk latte and a purple taro latte (because I had a coupon...they're a little pricey). The taro latte was so pretty! Both drinks tasted delicious. Next time I'd get the banana milk a little sweeter (more than the 1/2 I went with) as you can adjust sweetness level for all their drinks.

Pulled up for some other things in the area and there it was. For some reason this place was just…read moretelling me to try. I'm not usually sweets person but it was calling my name. The shop was very Clean, quiet, and had many types of cinnamon rolls on display. They so sounded so good. I decided on the mimosa flavor and it did not disappoint! It was about the syst of my hand and loaded with the stuffy whipped topping, strawberry pieces, and orange chunk. The tops were being made fresh so it was a short wait of only about 8 minutes. The cinnamon roll prices start from about $8 and go up from there. They also have mini rolls, roll cakes, random nature's goods, and some juice drinks. They let me know they are a vegan bakery. I couldn't tell any difference from a vegan treat or non vegan, but I know good from not good, and this was good!

The cozy eclectic cheery ambience can't be beat!

But it felt more like a quantity over quality situation - the cake was fine, tasted not much different from boxed yellow cake mix, but I found the frosting to be pretty disappointing; it tasted like straight up butter. I usually enjoy the frosting just as much as the cake, but opted to eat around it (not sure I have ever even done that before). So once you exclude the icing, the $14.50/slice is even steeper! I might come back and try another flavor just because I love cake so much and really want to find my go-to sweet treat here!
