    This is the lovely custom cake that we got from Kookenbacker.
    David P.

    I had a great experience working with Greg, proprietor at Kookenbacker. He gave me a very good price on a custom cake that was the centerpiece of our event. We all found the strawberries & cream cake to be exceptionally good. The decoration was attractive and effective. I had approached another well-known cakemaker in the neighborhood and they offered me a smaller cake for a lot more money. I found Kookenbacker to be a local small business well worth supporting.

    Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake.  The kids were so excited!

    This ice cream place is located right in the heart of Havertown. They seem to have a very popular…read moreselection of cookies. They don't really have a good display case for their ice cream. Honestly, I really wanted to try this place because of the old fashioned in the title of the store. I ended up getting an ice cream sandwich but telling them to put the chocolate chip cookies to the side. It was very quick service since there wasn't anyone really in the store. There were some seats around the store as well. For 3-4ish bucks, they gave a fair size of ice cream. I got the graham slam that tasted pretty basic. It didn't taste that fresh. The chocolate chips were pretty good. A small bit above average. I really liked how warm and crispy they were. Overall, great quantity for the price but average quality.

    Ok so little back story. When I was growing up Koffmeyer's used to be just a little cookie place…read moreoff of South Street on Second Street. The smell of those cookies baking would entice you every single time to stop in. You couldn't fight it, or I couldn't anyway! So when they closed up at that spot i thought they were gone forever. Then a few years ago something made me look them up and there they were!!! I met up with some friends at Koffmeyer's yesterday early afternoon (Saturday). They serve ice cream so I had a small cup of graham slam with hot caramel. It was wonderful! The service was wonderful and when I mentioned I wanted to purchase cookies as well the young lady helping me checked the timer on the oven to tell me when they'd be ready. After catching up with my friends and finishing our ice cream I ordered my cookies. I decided on a pound of chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and snickerdoodle! I will share them, I swear!

    Lu & Aug's is such a special place. If not for the massive number of calories I consume every time…read moreI enter the place I would go there ALL THE TIME. Each visit is a discovery of new deliciousness and temptations for the tastebuds. Last time I went with a decaf affogato with vanilla softserve, the classic. SO GOOD! 5*/5. I've been dreaming about getting it again so finally went today. and was immediately distracted by their extensive hot chocolate and drinking chocolate menu which now I need to go back and try. While I thought I'd go for the classic decaf affogato, I was enticed by the espresso X version which includes a warm chocolate chip brownie, hot fudge, rice krispie sprinkles, and the decaf espresso (at my request), vanilla and chocolate twist (other options just vanilla or just chocolate) - for the same price as the classic. How could I resist? Amazing - 5*/5 I have yet to try something at Lu & Aug's that isn't outstanding.

They have good amount of pints 'to go' a TON of toppings and VEGAN OPTIONS!!! Open space, tables to sit down and eat. Clean large bathroom too. Now the dessert creations were impeccable. Fresh waffle cones and fresh toppings. I kept it simple with a pecan crumble on vegan vanilla. Wifey got a strawberry 'something' with pieces of cheesecake. When I tell you they are precise with the placement of the toppings to ensure you have even bites--- I mean it.

I had the BLT with avocado and every part of the meal was excellent. The toasty bread was crisp and had a really nice texture; the egg was cooked just how I asked; the bacon a perfect balance of crisp and chewy. I asked for an extra side of avocado (I'm all about getting my fiber) and it arrived at the peak of perfect ripeness. The home fries were tender and savory. Also my cappuccino was delicious. The dining area was very clean and had a faintly rustic feel. The bathroom was also sparkling clean. I was in and out in less than 40 minutes, too, but never felt rushed. There were plenty of vegetarian options. I'm not too sure about it if you have to avoid dairy or gluten; the menu has a lot of that. Handicap access was pretty good: no steps to get in and out of the place. Honestly I can't wait to visit here again!

    Dish Ordered: Omelette Visited With: Friend (Breakfast)…read more Service: 9/10 The service was excellent. Our server was sweet, helpful, and very attentive. She gave great recommendations and made the experience even better. Interestingly, both visits we had the same server, and she was consistently kind and welcoming each time. Food: 8/10 The food was very good. On my first visit, I wasn't a huge fan, but the second time was much better. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and my friend really enjoyed her meal as well. I would definitely recommend the food. Ambiance: 8/10 The restaurant has a cozy feel. It's a small space, so it can get a bit loud when it fills up, but the bathroom was very clean, which I appreciated. Overall Experience: A- Great food and a great experience overall. If you're looking for a quick breakfast spot with family or friends, this is a perfect choice. The staff is friendly, the food is good, and the atmosphere is cozy.

Spent almost $50 on candies and treats, and firstly all of the "bulk" candy was clearly stale and had been out for a long time. My partner and I also purchased treats called "thin mints" (which any google search would tell you thin mints = girl scout style cookie treat) but when we opened them at home they were peppermint patties, a completely different treat and not something either of us like. We went back today to see if we had been given the wrong thing or if they could help us, and the woman there (assuming she was the owner/manager by her demeanor) was so so unprofessional and dismissive! We walked in and no one greeted us, the "owner" woman was at the register on her cell phone talking and turned away from us upon walking in. After a few minutes a young girl came out and helped us, so I explained the miscommunication the day before. The owner (note, she was also in the store the day before during our initial transaction) interrupted to explain in a pretty condescending way that they meant something different by "thin mints" and that we clearly did not know. She then got back on her phone and turned her back, clearly did not care that a customer was unhappy. I explained to her employee that this was clearly a miscommunication and can they help us with switching to a candy we like or give us a refund, and she quickly refused and offered no other path to making the situation right. So disappointing to want to support a small business, just to realize they completely don't care about what they are selling or who they are selling to. Seriously, go to the Head Nut candy shop in town instead.
