    The half blended (for a second time) chocolate shake. Half the thing is still pure vanilla.
    James M.

    I made an account here just to post this out of pure frustration with this company, and especially this location. I've been going to Lion's Choice since I was 9. I used to love going there for the ice cream and hot dogs. But the last couple years the quality has dipped. Every time without fall they screw up something. Last time I went to this location on Manchester they have me a hot dog I insisted it wasn't supposed to be half blended she said she would make a new one. To which I watched her take the same shake back to the machine and run it through the mixer again. Another girl handed the shake to me with a new lid and it still is half blended. I didn't want to continue dealing with it so I just thanked her and left. Attached will be a picture of the shake. The only thing that's consistent and good are the fries. But they aren't good enough to give me a reason to come back. At least not to this location. If you want Lions Choice I'd recommend the Jeffco location over this or the on off Clarkson rd. At least I feel like they still care about their standards.

    Omg I love this restaurant! They are so fast and their food is so yummy!  I recommend doing medium rare!

    I could've sworn I left a review the first time I went here but the second time was actually better…read morethan the first anyway! I ordered a matcha latte and strawberry croissant. I couldn't let my camera eat first. We actually ordered to go but there was a bit of a wait. There was I believe a mom and son in front of us who ordered drinks as well and were waiting a bit so I ate the croissant and it was delicious. Not too buttery, the cream inside was very light with a hint of sweetness which I enjoyed and the slices of strawberry balanced it all out. After I ate that, our drinks were ready to pick up. I ordered a matcha latte the first visit and wasn't too impressed. There was no sweetener added and the straws back then were paper and dissolved in my drink. I'm glad they have the plastic straws now so I could fully enjoy and the sweetener was the perfect amount. Not too sweet! I spoke with the barista asking if she enjoyed the tiramisu matcha latte and she admitted she doesn't drink matcha so she couldn't say which I appreciated her honesty instead of trying to upsell me. She was so sweet and did let me know a lot of customers do enjoy it. I'm glad I opted for the matcha again because it made me so happy with how delicious it was! (A MILLION times better than Starbucks!) Every time we go this place is so busy. There is a line but it's never too long and there's never an empty case of pastries. There's so much variety if you're feeling sweet or savory. I do want to try some of their cake sometime. Maybe next time!

    We finally checked out Tous Les Jours Manchester location. Upon first glance, it's a beautiful and…read morewell-lit store. Lots of pastry options and even some savory lunch entrees + a coffee menu. Sadly, the pastries were a bit dry for my liking - the croissants had zero fluffiness and the donuts had a weird texture - almost like a fried Oreo. My Tiramisu Latte was decent but 90% milk and 10% coffee. The Strawberry Cloud Cake was delicious though - very light and fresh. Overall, cute spot with beautiful yet questionable pastries. Would we return? We probably would. Because it's 6 minutes from our house, we have no reason not to give it a second chance.
