Annette J.

The first time I came here was not the smoothest visit. 100% my fault. I was so excited to finally make it here that I bought probably more than I should have, including two huge aguas frescas, several paletas, and an assortment of other snacks. I overestimated my ability to juggle all of these upon my exit and, when putting them into my car, spilled one of the huge aguas frescas EVERYWHERE in the front two seats. It was hibiscus flavored and bright red. I ran back inside to get napkins to help sop it up but in the end I had to really get in there with some cleaning supplies at home to get all the dried, sticky beverage out of the crevices. I had about a 1/4 of the hibiscus drink left and chugged it in frustration. Good news? It was delicious! That one had been for my husband (oops) and I had gotten myself a mango one, which I also quite enjoyed (and had more of it enjoy since there was no spillage there). Not one to hold my own stupidity against anyone else I returned to La Pina Loca a bit later. This time forgoing beverages that were not of the frozen variety. I got my husband the pina colada (virgin) and myself a churro sundae. Having learned my lesson, I enjoyed my ice cream seated at one of the smaller tables they have in their storefront. It was a good call. The sundae was so good! Ultra indulgent and bigger than I had estimated. I wasn't able to finish the whole thing. The pina colada was delicious as well. I didn't finish it like the previous hibiscus drink though, which means my husband got to enjoy it. He's a bit of a pina colada connoisseur and he loved it. There are several savory snacks on the menu here, many of which are adorned with tajin and/or hot cheetos. Admittedly, I'm not much for spicy food (I don't mind it, but my acid reflux has other ideas), so I typically forgo those, but if you're into that you'll find some really fun flavors and photogenic snacks to be had here!

Very wonderful place. Kind staff and clean restaurant. Vegan water based paletas are amazing! I recommend the mango! Also got a mangonada, the tamarindo stick is "Bamburindo" brand which is also vegan. Will for sure continue to this great place! A+

Huge menu of authentic Mexican Mexican food. The fresas con cream is delicious! Great crunch with the nuts and granola and the fruit is so fresh and sweet. The cream tastes like horchata and condensed milk and it took strawberries to another level!

This is disgusting absolutely fucking disgusting. I found a hair in this fruit bowl never again

Absolutely fucking disgusting. I found a head inside my foot and it's I started throwing up disgusting horrible don't ever visit this place.

I've been here a couple of times and will continue coming back. Everything tastes great and the prices are good too! They have a really broad variety of things to try. This has nothing to do with the restaurant itself- but just something to keep in mind-the parking lot for this mall is very very small so you may not always find a spot and end up having to wait a little bit for a space to clear up depending on what time you go. Well worth the wait though!

My friends and I decided to give this place a try and oh my goodness what a Gem. The place has very easy parking for Ann Arbor, as its in a little shopping plaza off of Platt. The space is very clean with a good amount of seating. They had a hand sanitizing station which I really appreciated. The menu is quite extensive, but I really don't think you can go wrong with anything you order. The favorite thing I ordered was the corn cup. If you don't like spicy food be sure to talk to the employees and find something that will fit your taste. Everything on the menu is colorful, I loved it!!

This is the best ice cream place I've ever been It's like a…read moreclassier better version of a salt & straw. That's all I needed was to find more amazing ice cream in Michigan that I can't take home with me. I'm also never in Ann Arbor so that doesn't help I tried fresh basil ice cream. It was drizzled with lemon olive oil. The most amazing and unique flavors. They have butterfly moon, not blue moon. While blue moon tastes like fruity pebbles, butterfly moon tastes exactly like froot loops and is even the color the milk turns when you have a bowl. Service was friendly and didn't mind us trying lots of samples. How can you not when they're all so amazing and unique !!

I've only been here once so far, but it was really good overall. I tried the salty caramel coffee…read moreand that flavor was genuinely incredible. Definitely the standout for me. I also got the double dark chocolate, which was decent but a little more lackluster than I expected. They have a huge variety of flavors though and it definitely feels like the kind of place you need to come back to multiple times to really explore the menu. Every time I walk by there's basically a line around the block, so clearly people love it. Thankfully when I actually went, the service moved pretty quickly. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to try more flavors.

We were visiting friends in AnnArbor and were downtown and wanted a treat after some shopping…read more They took us here which is a fave of theirs it's a really cute little shop with nice seating, French themed decor and a welcoming staff. The case of macarons was beautiful , multicolored rows of well labelled flavors. We each made some selections and ordered some drinks. Our hosts ordered a large French press pot to share. I had time to speak with staff about the last k of space for baking and how they arrived at so many flavors. They do not bake onsite but receive frozen shipments from the main bakery in Grand Rapids as handiest the Holland, Michigan store. They defrost enough each for each day so they never run out of flavors. They were some of best I have ever had. Nothing like what you might find in the bakery section of a grocer. This is an historic residential building retrofit with a nice conversion to retail without losing its charming brickwork. I will definitely return when next in Ann Arbor.

I've wanted to stop by but always had planned activities elsewhere. Until today…read more The shop is beautiful: exposed brick walls, small marble-topped tables, petite vases filled with flowers, sparkly chandeliers, and a garland of pink and white flowers. It's so appealing. The macarons displayed in the case were equally appealing. I don't recall all the flavors, but I had a tough time picking out flavors for my friend and, of course, something for me. I chose three macarons to enjoy at the shop: blueberry, coconut, and strawberry cheesecake. I liked the delicate crack of the macaron shells and the creamy, flavorful centers. Each sported a design to distinguish itself from the others further. I also had a piping hot Earl Gray tea along with these treats. Espresso, French and Italian sodas, and lattes are also available. Customers stopped in throughout my visit for a quick purchase or to savor their macarons at nearby tables. Service was disappointing.

Excellent plant based cinnamon roll heaven. I have had one of their rolls at a festival in Detroit,…read morebut finally was able to visit the brick and mortar store. I walked over, but metered street parking is all around. Store is small, but had a few tables and several employees working. All were very nice. I ordered the lemon tart roll which had a lemony glaze and fresh raspberries and blueberries. Perfection. Do your homework before coming in as in read the online menu. There are so many choices from OG rolls to chocolatey mashups. Really yummy baked goods. Reasonable prices. All vegan. I'll be back!

Everyone was super kind here, but I didn't have as good experience as I had last time…read more In general, the product uses an ingredient that hurts my stomach. Unfortunately, one of the products wasn't labeled since it was more of a seasonal item and the employee couldn't tell me the allergens for the product and so I didn't feel confident or comfortable purchasing it. A lot of people go to a store like this because they have a certain diet preference and I feel like the stuff should be a little bit more knowledgeable or at least have some incentive to ask someone who might know instead of just disregarding a customer . that being said I'm really thankful for vegan options, especially for those of us who have all allergies. I was able to take a few treats home to my baby who also has significant allergies and she really enjoyed the lemon blueberry bar.

I can't say enough good things about TeaHaus. I love tea, and feel like it doesn't get as much love…read moreas coffee in terms of just the experience of tasting, smelling, etc. Thankfully, they ship, so I can order my teas when I get back home as well. Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed when I came in. There's a tea bar area, the loose leaf tea wall, pastries and other desserts, swag, a tasting area, and apparently it was trivia night tonight. I experienced all of this in just the first minute or two of entering. And it was packed! I really appreciate the time taken to explain the shop to me and walk me through many of the teas. Although they were busy, I didn't feel rushed (there were 2-3 people working the registers) and it felt very personal chatting. I was able to smell a bunch, and could really tell the differences in them. I ended up getting 3 50g bags and 2 sample bags, plus some stickers and pins. Really excited to try these out. Their range goes from darker to lighter, and they have a wide variety of black, green, rooibos, and herbal teas/blends.

It's bigger than it looks from the outside!…read more There is some seating by the windows and then some near the back area (behind the "tea bar"). They are selling really cute tea ornaments and they have other things like tea pots and cards with funny phrases like "It was you Oolong." They don't have a physical menu because the flavors constantly change. You can look online but for the most part, have to stand behind the counter in diff areas to see alll the flavors! I spotted Almond Milk Tea and she let me smell it and I was sold! It smelled wonderful! When it was actually brewed, it was ok though. It doesn't really have milk in it either :0p My MIL got the Hisbiscus (a tad too sour) and my husband got the Japanese Cherry green tea (that was good and has a mild flavor if you like that sort of thing). They have signs on the table that there is no Wifi because they encourage unplugged conversations and connections.
