Kids loved it Large mango bingsoo - mango slices were plentiful. This was the first to go when everyone dug in. Large chocolate bingsoo - this was ok, I would have liked to see a little more chocolate incorporated into the dish. Large caramel bingsoo - loved the crunch that came with the cereal pieces. Large original red bean bingsoo - classic combo if you wanted something a little more simple Large injeolmi bingsoo. Large matcha red bean bingsoo - another classic combo. The matcha wasn't overpowering and the slight bitterness balanced out the sweet in the dish. Mango sago - classic summertime fave. The fresh mango and sago was a hit with the toddlers and not too sweet. I ordered everything for pick up via door dash. It was ready a lot sooner than expected too. Since it was such a large pick up order, I told the gentleman at the register I'd make a couple trips. He actually followed behind me to my car to help me load everything up. That was so nice!

We got a matcha drink and a strawberry tea as well as 2 dessert cream puff sandwiches, one strawberry and one match (do you see a theme here) The drinks were very good, not sweet and they had a good amount of ice. The pastries were pretty good, the strawberry one was my favorite, the cream had a less oily feel compared to the matcha one. We ordered on a tablet so not much to say about customer service besides the workers being very quick. It took maybe 5-10 minutes to get our order. Definitely a place we would come back to!

On Thursday at noon, I walked into an empty cafe. One of the two shelves in the refrigerated…read moredisplay were filled. It held more savory items like cold sandwiches and bread with pork floss. I decided on the taro cheesecake. On the counter there were more bread-like products such as matcha loaf and more items with pork floss. I chose the red bean loaf. The red bean loaf was what I expected. It was like many other red bean loaf. The taro cheesecake were bite size. It wasnt sweet or dull. The taro seemed like real taro. It was more of a sandwich than a traditional cheesecake slice. Overall, I could see someone returning for their more savory items. My first impression and experience arent enough to drive myself to be curious for wanting more. P.S. egg tarts are available saturday and sundays

I drove past on my errand run yesterday and immediately circled back. I love pie. And a dedicated…read morepie shop? Yes please. Once you're out of your car, it's a little hard to find. I'd love to keep Pie Dreams my little secret, but out of respect for the proprietor's mad baking skills, it's behind Dino's. The owner is passionate about his pies and shared his philosophy about how pie can make us all nicer, gentler people. I mean, that's not exactly verbatim, but the pie case made it hard to pay attention. On my visit, there were two savory pies (hand pies) and a selection of sweet pies (hand pies and slices). Being a big supporter of small businesses, I ordered 4. All I can say is I'm super happy I don't live closer. The chicken bacon hand pie was delicious. Big pieces of chicken in a flavorful creamy sauce. There may have been some vegetables in it but I was driving and it was unsafe to inspect my pie closely. The caramel apple hand pie was good. Because I'm not an apple pie fan I appreciated that the apples were sliced thinly, not chunky, and I loved the addition of the sanding sugar on top. I ordered the apricot frangipane (AF) for two reasons: it was double-crusted and it didn't have whipped cream on top. I wasn't totally on board with frangipane since my experience with it in boxed chocolates was "meh." Plus they seem to love it on the Great British Bake-Off and it always looks so unappealing. But paired with the tartness of the apricots and a crust that reminded me of shortbread, I think the AF was my favorite, though I haven't tried the blueberry lemon yet. If you love pie, go to Pie Dreams and have a slice or three (no judgment here). If you're not sure or don't think you like pie, go to Pie Dreams. You may surprise yourself.

Delicious fresh pies! Great owner, being my first time here…read moreI had questions and he was super cool and patient, answering all my questions. Now for the options, they all sounded good and were hard to choose from! I like that they have specials of the month, seasonal, and mainstays. I choose one of monthly specials coconut pudding, and mainstay french silk. I also ordered the cheese burger hand pie for my husband, which he loved! The coconut pudding pie was sooo good, loved the texture and flavor, they had toasted coconut on the side to add on top. The fresh silk pie was my favorite! It was not overly chocolatey and had a nice mousse texture, there was an under layer of crisp ganache that made all the flavors and textures pop! The crust is nice and buttery and flakey. These were not heavy pies, just creamy light melt in your mouth. They also have frozen pies so you can take and bake yourself. This definitely satisfied my sweet tooth, and will be back this time to order a whole pie!

However, the taste was a little disappointing. I do like a fluffly, textured donut, however, these are served cold and very sweet. It's just a different donut than the ones I prefer. They had a wide selection of flavors, even on late morning of a weekend. We tried the tiramisu (2/5) donut and the biscoff cream donut (3/5). But both were too sweet for my taste. I can't say that I'd be back, but if you're looking for something unique, I think you'd enjoy this little shop.

My drink (kiwi green tea) is frequently out of stock and removed from the menu (on DoorDash and directly on the store website or kiosk). The first 1-2 times this happened, I thought they actually discontinued the drink until one day I walked in the store and asked an employee about it. My friend's drink (dragonfruit tea) is also often unavailable. Today I stopped by and again, there is no kiwi green tea. This is a failure on the store's inventory planner. I have never encountered this issue so frequently with any other boba shop. This is so ridiculous.

Instead of getting 1 flavored cake, she had 5 different croffles :) Location: Croffles & Co can be found in the Newpark Mall. Super happy that they take DoorDash orders! Pricing: ~$6 per croffle! Super affordable, especially in comparison to HHD where 1 croffle is double the price! Service: I ordered through DoorDash but was happy to find each croffle safely boxed up and labeled. My croffles came in 1 big bag that was sealed to ensure they were packed safely! Food: I wish I had eaten them freshly made, but even after a few hours, we ate every bite! The croffles were thick but not dense! Nice and fluffy, and did not harden over time. Delicious batter dusted with powdered sugar! The whipped cream was very light, airy and creamy! Oreo - If you have a sweet tooth, this one is perfect for you! With Oreo cookies/crumbles and chocolate drizzle all over the croffle! Matcha - Earthy and bold, but not bitter Matcha! Creamy and not grainy! Nutelle & Banana - A classic combo and favorite! The perfect amount of nutella over fresh bananas! Biscoff - Our favorite of the night! It's as if you're eating a giant Biscoff cookie because its flavor is present in every bite! Delicious! Strawberry - Another classic! Tart but not overly sour strawberries. I enjoyed this for my last bite as the strawberries and cream were very fresh and light!

I really appreciated that the items came in a sealed bag. Not only did it ensure freshness, but it also helped assure me that the food wasn't tampered with. The bag was cute too. I'm actually glad that I ordered online, because the menu explicitly stated that products contain lard. I don't eat pork, so heads up if you don't either. I got the coconut mango sago (D4) and mango mochi. I dove right into the mochi, which was fantastic. The mochi was so soft and chewy, the shredded coconut attributed a nice texture, and I loved the mango bits in the center. I also enjoyed the coconut mango sago. There wasn't an option to modify the sweetness, which I was concerned about at first. The drink came out perfectly in balance with sweetness, and I felt that mostly came from the natural sweetness of the mango and coconut milk. I would absolutely return to try other things off the menu. I'm a fan of coconut mango and pomelo/grapefruit at other drink spots, so it's top of my list to try next time.
