If you've never had Shave Ice or you really love homemade ice cream you're in for a treat you won't…read morefind in any other ice cream shop around here! "Shave ice" is a bowl of ice cream topped with delectably shaven ice - not chunky like sno cones. The icey part is topped with your choice of flavor drizzled on it. A Snow Cap (condensed milk) is included as well. Most people have their Shave Ice with all of the above. It's a refreshing way to enjoy a lot of tasty ice cream with some very special extras. The owner has professional ice shaving machines used in Hawaii (we've been to Hawaii enough times to be hooked on the stuff ). If you're not interested in trying something new but you DO appreciate homemade ice cream, every ice cream at Oliwia's is homemade. It's only about 2 miles west of I-65 in downtown Hartselle. Use Yelp to find it!

I was super excited when I saw reviews for a shaved ice place (shaved ice lover here) in Hartselle…read moreon our way north on I 65. We stopped on a Saturday evening. It's super bright and clean with ample tables and a couple of bars with stools along the windows. It was fairly busy but the line moved quickly. We each got a medium Shave Ice with a scoop of ice cream (lots of flavors to choose from), shaved ice, flavored syrup (lots of flavors of this as well!), and the "snow cap" (coconut flavored condensed milk topping). It was a little messy but yummy! The medium size was almost more than we could eat! It was a fun experience and an affordable way to be treated to a more unique dessert experience. The next time we're heading home from Birmingham I'll be exiting off I65 for Oliwia's Shave Ice! We're so glad we took a chance!

This place was my choice to grab a coffee from on my wait out of Cullman after a short visit. It…read morewas solid! The interior is decorated really nicely, kind of cool and funky vibes with a surprising amount of space available to hang out. Cute merchandise for sale too. I had a little bit of trouble finding the menu but eventually found it on a paper card placed somewhat inconspicuously near the register. I was only interested in coffee but they have a decent selection of cafe-type food and other beverages. They have seasonal specials and more standard, always-available house specials. I selected one of these and got a small iced Turtle latte, which had chocolate, caramel, and praline flavors. I thought service was a little standoffish and put-upon seeming, but I wouldn't say they were rude; just not super welcoming. My drink was made and served quickly and I got back on the road. The drink was good! Nice balance of ice to liquid and a yummy, sweet, rich turtle flavor. There was a slight artificially nutty aftertaste that I'd guess was the praline that I didn't love, but overall this was a solid drink that I'd probably order again. Give them a try if you're in the area.

We decided to give Karma's Coffee another shot, but unfortunately, it was pretty much the same as…read morebefore. The staff still seemed irritable and not friendly, which again made us feel more like an inconvenience than customers. We had to ask multiple times about our drinks and food, which was frustrating. Again, the HIGH prices... On the bright side, there's a nice bookish vibe that gives it that cozy feel. With the exposed bricks/ductwork, mismatched secondhand furniture, and a small selection of books, it does seem like a good spot to relax and chat with friends... Still, I'll be looking for a different coffee place next time! Somewhere the employees attitudes match the chill atmosphere.

It was later in the afternoon and the restaurant was quiet, though a few patrons were still eating. It's a small establishment but cute inside. Service was friendly enough and greeted me promptly. Their baked goods were somewhat picked over by the time I got there. I wound up ordering two chocolate chip and pecan cookies. They also have a menu with entrees for breakfast and lunch. The cookies were large and decent enough. I wish there'd been more pecan pieces, and for my preference, they were a little too thin/crunchy. I like my cookies a little bit softer, especially in the center. Still, they were fine cookies. I'm keeping this spot on my bookmark list so I'll remember to try them again for a full meal next time I'm in Cullman. Their menu looks enticing and they get great reviews on their food. If and when I return, I'll definitely update this review!

Wanted to rate this place higher but I just cant after trying the steak and salmon entree dishes…read more The salmon did not taste fresh. The mashed potatoes tasted "boxed" (powder after taste). The green beans were probably the best thing on the plate. The steak was also subpar. It was more of a NY strip and very thin. My friend got it medium rare but it came rare-RARE. We did have to ask that it be sent back to cook a little more because it was uncooked even on the sides. The potato wedges were not cooked thoroughly either. It was raw potato and just not tasty when you are looking for a good and cooked crunch. Staff were friendly, but service was slow because it was busy. I don't think I would try this place again.

My husband and I went here for the first time when we were out of town. Before I share with you his…read morereview of the dessert he ordered, I want to say that we both felt like their customer service was top-notch and would give them a five 5. I have to be careful with making sure I don't eat items that have a high concentration of fructose corn syrup in it and the owner, I believe, maybe the manager, took quite a bit of time with me to try and figure out if certain ones had a high concentration of it in there. She had EXCELLENT customer service and I was very impressed by it. I decided I shouldn't really take a chance and eat anything, but I encouraged my husband to get something while he was there since we were on vacation. He ordered the Caramel Apple Crisp and would give it a four 4. He said the ice cream caramel ratio was very good and he enjoyed the flavor profiles of how they mixed. He got the big one and said it was definitely shareable and would give it a five 5 on size. If presented the opportunity again and he decided to treat himself, he said he would order it.
