Better than usual ice cream in Aurora. Charlie's is located on Stolp Island in a former factory…read morelocation. It has kind of a limited selection but the flavors are more exotic than typical. Has okay prices even though it's premium and small batch. They also have a few sorbets but it's random. A bad thing is the ever changing hours. It's hard to know when they're open. They're open longer in summers. As expected. It's about $5 to get a scoop. Has an okay amount of flavors to choose. There's not a whole lot but it's still an okay amount for a smaller locally owned place. A few non dairy sorbets are among the rotating flavors. Last time they had the Pink Grapefruit Sorbet. Had the sourness and sweetness of the fruit prepared with sugar on it. There's also other flavors such as espresso and tangerine. For sure it's a great idea to call ahead before going. It's got a bunch of flavors and they change these random times. They're usually closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

I already cannot wait to come back. I had friends raving about this place. They grew up going here…read moreas a kid to celebrate anything and everything and with the weather warming, up I finally gave it a try. They have everything: milkshakes, blizzards, cones, treats, etc. I kept it simple and had a strawberry-vanilla twist cone. I've never seen that twist flavor anywhere else! It was good but honestly nothing different from Dairy Queen but Banana Split isn't just about the ice cream. It's about the old-time experience of walking up to a window, placing your order, and sitting in the parking lot or park across the street to eat it. So nostalgic. Excited to come back and try some of their other treats!

Price was surprisingly good for the amount we got. My DH loved the shake. I thought the sundae was good, but OMG that grape slushie was the best thing I've had in ages! I'm going back just for that! I don't even like slushies usually. Think the last time I had one was in Kmart when I was in high school. My only complaint was the stupid people who thought revving their suped up cars and motorcycles in front of the place was the height of entertainment. I know the store can't do anything about that but it was very annoying.

I recently visited Qmaria Yemeni Coffee on Westbrook Drive and had a wonderful experience. The…read moreplace has a cozy and welcoming vibe, with a warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee .The staff was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. I decided to try The Mufawaar that had a deep rich flavor with just the right balance of spices . It had a unique twist compared to regular coffee. It felt smooth and comforting, something that stands out from the usual coffee shop drinks. But the presentation was good . Along with the coffee , I ordered a Ferrero Tiramisu pastry, which was a real treat. It was soft, layered beautifully, and had just the right touch of sweetness without being heavy. The chocolate and hazelnut flavors paired perfectly with the coffee, making it a delightful combination. I liked the coffee mugs they used I really liked about this place is how it blends traditional Yemeni coffee culture with a modern café feel. This place is spacious enough to sit and relax.

Checked out this pretty new Asian fusion restaurant that opened up in Aurora. It has kind of a…read moreclassy feel but it's casual. Leilani has a pretty good variety of Chinese and Japanese inspired appetizers and entrees. Has some good drinks that go well with it basically. The food is high quality at pretty good prices. A lot of things to get here. It's not a very big menu but that makes it easier to choose obviously. This is Asian fusion so it's not like it's authentic but this is good for what it is though. A few things can get pricy but prices aren't that bad. The service is also great which helps. It's about $12 for the cheapest cocktails. They often have some rotating seasonal specials. It's about $15 for an entree. There's only a few that are vegetarian so that made it easy to pick something. I got the Truffle Shuffle, which is a maki roll. This has avocado, caramelized shallots, pickled daikon, and roasted shiitake mushrooms, and is topped with a tempura crunch with kimchi and wasabi. Full of flavor. This is a good choice if wanting light meals. For sure it's not authentic but it's not trying to be. It's a good mixture for American palates. There's a few things okay for vegans and vegetarians.

I originally came across this place a few weeks ago, but at the time I was with a large group and…read morethe wait time for dinner was a bit too long for our liking. I finally came back with a smaller group on a Friday afternoon and the place was pretty empty. Our server, Tariq, was the BEST! He did a great job introducing us to Leilani, offering menu suggestions, refilling drinks, etc. Everything on the menu sounded so good. I tried the chicken katsu sando. The Japanese milk bread was so fluffy and fresh, the chicken added a nice crunch, and the toppings were a nice punch of flavor. On the menu, it said it came with yam chips or edamame so I asked for edamame. I think there was some confusion though cause my sandwich came with chips and I was charged for a side of edamame. The edamame had a lot of flavor. I never thought I would write this in a review but I almost wish it was more bland. Edamame aside, this place is great! Service was some of the best experiences I've had, I loved the decor, and most importantly, the food was delicious!
