The order ahead was super easy and pick up was great. There is a parking lot out front, so parking was super simple. I got the lavender matcha latte and it was so good. You could really taste the lavender, which always makes me so happy. It was such a cute color too: green and light purple. I got 100% sweetness, which I definetly will not be getting next time. Was too sweet for me, but I just wasn't sure. Next time I'll get 50% and I think that will be perfect. I am excited to go back! I loved the variety of matcha orders you could get, so I am excited to try more.

The place was empty. Eventually an employee came out. No greeting or anything just stood there until we ordered. I almost always get cake batter w/ Kit Kat mixed in. One thing I've always liked about Cold Stone is that the ice cream is thicker and doesn't melt so fast but not sure if the utensils they used were warm or what but my ice cream was a bit soft & pretty melted by time all 3 orders were made & we paid. It was good otherwise. Place was fairly clean. They have 2-3 tables to dine in. Parking is easy, as it's in a strip mall as well as shared larger parking lot.

Exceptional, personal service, passionate cooking, warm and inviting atmosphere. The owners Chef Cristian and wife Karen are absolutely amazing and the sweetest. I'd been previously for various events, but this was the first trip just for a casual pop in and dinner. Went for nachos as a table, I snagged a birria burrito bowl, and we had a churro cheesecake for dessert. Chefs, absolute, kiss. You can taste the passion. There's a lot in the back for parking, and pricing is more than fair if not, a killer value in my opinion. Definitely check them out!

They are not serving alcohol anymore which is unfortunate to not be able to enjoy a margarita but they had a large mocktail list. We tried three different tacos (chicken, carne asada, and carnitas) and I loved being able to mix and match. The carne asada was probably my favorite but they all were swimming in oil. The skirt steak enchiladas were a standout and easily my favorite dish of the meal. The steak was tender, the portions were generous, and everything came together really well. The queso was rich and creamy, and the fresh guacamole was a great starter while we waited for our food. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal, and the overall atmosphere made it a really enjoyable place to spend the evening.

The room feels just like it did 15 or more years ago. Service is good. The bad? Well the food is OK. It's got lots of competition and frankly most of them are better now.

I also tried the Really Reese's frozen custard and it was delicious and much needed on such a hot day. I loved the chunks of Reese's peanut butter chocolate.

I usually go for the shoyu ramen, it's richer than your typical tonkotsu and the soft-boiled egg is always seasoned to perfection. However, I just tried the Aburasoba (broth-less ramen) for the first time, and it was a total hit! The thick noodles mixed with those savory sauces create an incredible umami flavor that is so comforting. It's officially my new go-to dish. We don't have a ton of ramen options in Minnesota, so this is definitely a top-tier choice when you need a quick fix!

It was a good portion and vegetarian. If you would like to add meat, it was an extra $6. Then head around in the store to check out their market, full of seasonal produce herbs, and meat! It was actually pretty busy at 2PM on a spring Friday so there may be a wait but they do have a nice patio!

One thing to note is that the staff is very strict about your entire party being there before you can be seated or order, so definitely keep that in mind if you're coming with a group! The outdoor patio is super cute and was probably one of my favorite parts! For food, my sister and I split the kale salad and the Green Goddess Chèvre & Zucchini sandwich. I wasn't overly impressed with either dish, but I did enjoy the flavors of the sandwich. I was also under the impression that they offered a lunch menu, but it looks like they only serve brunch on the weekends, which was a little disappointing since I was hoping to try some of their lunch options. Overall, it was a cute spot with a great patio, but the food and experience didn't totally win me over this time.
