I was wondering around the WB with Re and she suggested we go "to the candy store." I was confused…read morebecause it was already after 8pm and what would be open? Royal Roastery that's who! This unassuming spot in a strip mall was gorgeous inside. And it serves coffee, pastries, ice cream plus y'know candy. AND they roast their own nuts, spices and I guess coffee beans. There were definitely folks hanging out and enjoying a Turkish style coffee... I guess either the caffeine doesn't hit them the way it does me or they had no plans to sleep. The candy isn't labeled 100% correctly but you kind of know that gummy worms are not gummy strawberries. I tried an assortment bag of gummies and some of chocolates and the price was by the pound. Re got some freshly roasted unsalted cashews and they were delicious! Parking is easy in the strip mall lot. And as you step in you definitely leave Louisiana and step into another country.

Royal Roastery is a bit of a mixed bag. They've got some savory nut options- I tried the barbecue…read morecashews. They were fine. They also carry some gummy and chocolate varieties, some spices, some boxed coffee, some Middle Eastern pastries. Only some things were labeled with either what it was or the price of it, so that was a little disorienting. I was surprised to find a cafe and gelato bar inside. The gelato flavors were incredible. I settled on popcorn caramel and baklava in a waffle bowl. An employee said that everything was made in-house. The price was standard considering that all was made there. The service was weird. I kept getting served after people who'd gotten there after me. My ice cream scoops were significantly smaller than my boyfriend's. Returning isn't high on my list of priorities, but I'm glad I tried them.

We went in pretty late (around 8pm) and were pretty disappointed. Half of the flavors that we were excited to get (Cheesecake, strawberry, cookies and cream, tart, etc) were all slightly runny :/. Some toppings were clumpy, so we couldn't add it properly in our bowl. The bathroom is disgusting, where water was running from under the toilet, causing the floor to be wet. The service was okay - we did want to try to sample some flavors but there was only 1 employee and she was busy at the cashier. The toppings are slightly flavorless.

Line for toppings was slow going but that's to be expected when you have kids making decisions. I went for a little squeeze of this yogurt and that yogurt. I ended up with coconut, pineapple, banana, mango and pomegranate. No toppings. I love that the price is by weight, because that felt fair. I think mine was around $6. The cashier was rocking it by herself, getting everyone through without looking stressed. The store itself needed to be cleaned: tables were dirty, the toppings were everywhere and the yogurt catch trays needed cleaning - even the garbage outside needed to be dumped and the outside tables had trash around them. I went because my cousin wanted to go, but I didn't feel comfortable with the sanitation. I'll try it again sometime during a weekday to see if it's any better.

The churros split allows your choice of ice cream flavors. I had churro flavor, vanilla, and banana. The churro ice cream was spot on. The staff was friendly throughout my time there, and it was my first time there! I took my items to go. The ice cream was a little melted, once I arrived at my destination, but that's expected with the hot churros and the commute (10 min), but it didn't stop the deliciousness!!

I'm not sure if they normally only have 1 worker, but it took quite a while to get to the window. It seemed like 10 minutes. Anyway, we eventually got our snoball, half red and half blue. I like to keep it simple. The ice was soft, the flavors were good and the price is reasonable. What more can you ask for? This was my toddlers first snoball and she loved it, too.

Wasn't friendly when we gave her our order. Initially I didn't see the mini cup option so I told her small but then I switched to the mini and she told me the cups are based on weight and not scoops - scoops are only for cones. The picture I took clearly shows the scoops per cup and nowhere in the store does it say scoops are for cones only. It wasn't a big deal for us and the ice cream is good, of course, but the customer service was very lacking. I definitely won't be coming back to this location.

I tell them it's like homemade at Grandma's house. Actually it is home made. We'll made on site. It's better than Grandma's (sorry), because they have dozens of flavors and even make up flavors. Like who has ever tasted magnolia. I personally love the chocolate and can attest to their custom made milkshakes. You will leave remembering New Orleans has the best ice cream shop ever!

We found Lucy Boone online, and hopped over since the reviews and photos looked good. Well, don't believe everything that you see online! The ice cream here really isn't very good, and our main complaint about it is that it's just not creamy. It has more of the consistency of a watery/diluted supermarket brand, and the flavors themselves aren't impressive either. Not trying to be mean--just being honest! Two of us shared their sampler, and we do have to say that we appreciated that as an option! The king cake was pure cinnamon, but the peanut butter nuddy buddy was really good--we'd say that was the best one of them all. The salted butter caramel was ho hum and the fourth flavor was so ho hum that we can't even remember what it was. Maybe nutella brownie?? Our daughter had the caramel in a cone and she said it was very small :( Oh, almost forgot to mention that on a holiday weekend, they had ONE person working, who was very sweet and clearly trying to do all the things. Needless to say, the place was pretty dirty and the (fake) marble tables weren't clean. The space is also kind of small and it doesn't seem like they've made the best use of it. While this place may look and advertise itself like an upscale hipster ice cream, it just does not deliver. We personally wouldn't recommend Lucy Boone, but it's not like you'll have a "bad" experience. It's just not worth it.
