They offer a great selection of gelato, along with sweets, puzzles, and other fun items to browse. I tried the orange and cherry flavours, and both tasted fresh, vibrant, and true to the fruit. The gelato itself was incredibly smooth, creamy, and full of flavour. There are books and board games available, making it a great place to sit back and enjoy a treat, especially on a warm day. The rear seating area and outdoor patio provide plenty of extra space if the front gets busy. I'd definitely recommend stopping by, whether you're a local looking for a favourite spot or just passing through the area.

The sage green walls, against the black and white floor, the flowers surrounding the front desk, the sage green drapes and the linen covered tables complete with lamps present a beautiful, chic, relaxed vibe. The food was great! I had the Faroe Island salmon, It was seared perfectly that gave a nice crust to the outside but the inside was moist and delicious. The sauce was delicious, lemony and was a great enhancement to the salmon. My husband had spicy lamb meatballs bowl, he totally enjoyed it, there was lentils, avocado, fete, red onion and hummus. He requested a side order of pita bread, it was served warm and they sprinkled a bit of seasoning on it, nice touch. My cocktail was the paradise punch: so good. For dessert we shared the pistachio honey tiramisu, perfect ending. This location was previously the Wynnwood, I think it lives up to the expectation for the area.

The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. Even the owners checked in to see if we needed anything. Self park or valet parking in rear. It also has parking in front. They food was fenominal! To start we had calamari and a Mediterranean salad that had olives, pita, tomatoes, cucumbers, hummus, and other spreads. We then had a salad of lettuce, tomatoes, olives and onions with a light vinaigrette. It was followed with a pasta dish. We could choose from vodka sauce or a white sauce with pancietta. For the meat course we had a choice of lamb chop, steak or salmon. Each dish came with a side of Julianne vegetables. For dessert, we hadachoice of chocolate cheesecake or pistachio tiramisu. Both were out of this world! We highly recommend this restaurant for dinner or a special event.

Reminded me of a cafe in Puerto Rico in isla verde. There are comfy chairs to sit and perhaps do some flex work. It has an outdoor and indoor area. And the food was really good. I had the bacon and eggs with avocado and small salad on the side. I also had the macha lata lata. So good. I will for sure be back to chill and grab a wrap! You should too!!

We decided to sit down and enjoy our coffee and dessert, the seating is in the restaurant, located in Charcoal Gardenia. The restaurant seems new because it is very clean with tasteful design choices. A very cozy Middle Eastern vibe. The cappuccino was very well made and the Dubai chocolate brownie was excellent! The restaurant seems family friendly as there were other patrons with kids that all seemed to be enjoying and having a great time. The service was great and there seemed to be enough people to be handling all the guests.

Firstly the rebrand has been phenomenal, I love the care that has obviously gone in to the packaging, transportation and delivery of my order. It really felt like it was delivered straight from the shop with no problems. The lotusella crepe was every biscoff lover's dream come true. The pairing with chocolate and banana and strawberry is a classic hit and I love that they didn't skimp on the chocolate or biscoff here. The layers of crepe were appropriate thickness and not too dense. I hate when they crepe is too thick and feels like you're getting a mouthful of dough. Not with this bad boy. I like the dusting of lotus crumbs and they actually don't go soggy which is nice. I can't wait to try more things of their menu. A true neighborhood gem!!

My personal happy place to come and enjoy one of my many favorites, toasted brick oven rolls with butter and a tall hazel nut latte.

I ordered my daughters bridal shower cookies and everyone enjoyed them. I look forward to going to the sweet shop on weekends, never disappointed. If you're in the neighborhood come in and enjoy the coffee of the day and try their breads, and assorted pastries. Thank you, Sweet Shop Bakery Maria

Went to this place after getting off the road all the way from Westchester with my elderly mother…read morebecause she wanted eggplant Parmesan and she had eaten from this place before when a relative was staying at a hospital rehabilitation center nearby and remembered the food being good, so we went to have some lunch. We were seated in the outdoor area, which is nice on a humid day as You can get a decent breeze. 99% of the people who were there were just enjoying their their food and socializing, We decided to sit at a table near a window for whatever reason there was a gentleman at this table who decided that it was okay for him to vape while he was sitting down instead of exiting the restaurant. Not only did he decide that it was okay to vape, he decided that it was okay to blow his vapors onto my mother's head and engulf us in his gaping experience. Instead of noticing (full time hostess in the immediate area), automatically reseating us, apologizing and telling the man that is NOT okay to vape in the restaurant I had to flag a server down and let them know that we wanted a different table. Pretty good service but I really thought that that was a gross oversight on part of the restaurant like indoor smoking is illegal in the first place and vaping really isn't any better (arguably worse depending on what scientific data you're looking at), plenty people have respiratory issues and just preference period. No one should be forced to sit anywhere where a no vaping policy isn't being enforced in 2026. Really disappointed that I can't give this place a higher than a three star rating as a result because the food is pretty good and the servers were quick and pleasant, but the smoking issue to me is a gross oversight as far as basic customer service goes. People shouldn't be made to feel like they're being weird for wanting a different table because they don't want to be surrounded by anything but oxygen, Do better folks. Tried to call and speak with a manager BEFORE leaving this review, was left on hold for close to 10 mins however manager was extremely apologetic and pretty appalled he personally stated that vaping IS against their policy and that the staff should have absolutely been enforcing that. Welp, that's what complaints are for right? Food is decent and staff is respectful but I don't know if I'd go back given that experience if I have alternative choices in the area just trying to enjoy some lunch, drama and discomfort is not necessary indoor vaping is outlawed for a reason people violating that shouldn't get to just go about their day with zero consequences while everyone else is annoyed or having their lung / cardiovascular health put at risk involuntarily. YMMV
