Ice cream flavors are a mixture of classics, and things like cardamom and matcha, providing interest and not just oddball spices for the sake of quirkiness. As far as I can tell, Always Summer isn't part of a chain, but the look and feel of the space is very polished and coordinated. Between their merch display, and the forest of ice cream scoops hanging from the ceiling, the design aesthetic stands out. The people behind the counter were friendly and efficient, just what you would hope for in this type of establishment.

They even had a gulab jamun inspired ice cream, which really caught my attention. There were four of us, so we ordered a sundae with a brownie and two scoops of ice cream - it was generous and easily enough to share. It was my first time having a brownie served warm with ice cream, and I absolutely loved that touch. The fruit flavors were especially enjoyable, particularly the mango and banana chocolate chip. The cardamom flavor was a bit overpowering for my taste, but the mango was definitely a standout. The staff were incredibly patient and let us sample as many flavors as we wanted, all with a smile. I'll definitely be coming back!

You can really feel the passion they have for creating a welcoming experience and serving high quality food. The açaí is fresh, imported, and absolutely delicious. There are so many toppings to choose from, so it's easy to customize your bowl exactly how you like it. Everything always tastes fresh, and the portions are generous. I've been sticking with my usual order because it's so good, but I definitely want to try the passion fruit next. If you're looking for an amazing açaí bowl made with quality ingredients and served by genuinely kind people, Tropical Berry is the place to go!

I settled on a chocolate peanut butter covered sandwich cookie, a S'more cupcake, and a key lime cheesecake. The gal who helped me was kind and helpful. Everything we had was delicious. I will definitely pop in again for more treats soon. I like that they are open until 5pm on weekdays. Bakeries tend to close on the earlier side and it's nice to have them as an option. It was an unexpected surprise to find this lovely shop in Kenmore - I'm so glad I did!

Ended up with their delicious chocolate cupcakes (so busy eating, I don't snap a photo) and some rice crispy treats . I'm a sucker for a good rice crispy treat and these are amazing!

They were fresh, tasty, and priced reasonably. We tried the Soft-Shell Crab Mango Salad Roll, Golden Dragon, Rainbow, Sea Turtle, Sunshine, Samurai, Volcano, and Godzilla, basically most of their rolls.

Service was good, fast, and attentive. I want to go back to try their Thai menu next time.

I would have loved my drink if it was half as sweet. Also, I made the mistake of ordering for pickup through the DoorDash app, only to realize it's a whole dollar more per drink on the app vs in-store. Even at the in-store prices, their drinks are more expensive based on volume compared to what you would get at Happy Lemon or Sharetea, for example. Drinks were promptly ready at the promised time and staff were very friendly.

I ordered the Combo Pod (with chicken masala and paneer masala) and a Lassi. The Combo Pod is a pretty hefty portion. Everything had so much flavor and ingredients tasted fresh and well cooked. Only advice is to skip adding the egg...gives you more protein but didn't really add to the flavor or textures as much. Lassi was delicious too. Just the right about the mango and yogurt flavor and too sweet or tart. I would definitely order again or even go to one of their locations. It's a great deal if you're looking for a casual Indian flavor fix.

One of the best choux pastry desserts I have ever had. Strawberry Shortcake Tart- delicious Danish Cardamom Bun- Just ok. We could not really taste the cardamom and it is not at all like the ones you get in Scandinavia Beef Khachapouri- we warmed this in the oven and a massive amount of grease came out. Way too greasy. So we would not get the bun or the khachapouri again. But the choux and tart were delicious. And I'd be very interested in trying other items. This is a very pricey bakery, but nice for an occasional treat.
