How have I not written a review for Scratch yet?! While they do have locations in Waterloo and Des…read moreMoines now, Cedar Falls is where they got their start. I must admit, for awhile there I got "Scratched out," and just wasn't interested in anything they offered. But lately, I just keep going back! They've branched out a little from the standard cupcakes, and I'm loving it. The other day, I had a cherry cobbler cupcake. It's best my all-time favorite so far. I love the cheesecake ones, the fudge ones, and anything in between. Props to Scratch for stepping out of their comfort zone because it is paying off! If you are in the area, or at one of their other locations, I would definitely recommend stopping in for a treat. Heck, get a dozen and share them with family and friends!

A chocolaterie in the heart of downtown Cedar Falls - how wonderful! This is a perfect place for a…read morechocolate/sweets lover or for the chocolate/sweets lover in your life! They have an endless selection, do incredible gift box options, have seasonal goodies as well, and I felt as though all the prices were fair and reasonable! They have gelato in this shop as well, along with popcorn, hot cocoa, and other offerings like that along the other walls. But their main display is just chocolates upon chocolates, and some seriously unique ones too! The ones I snagged all tasted so delicious and decadent, and I felt like I was able to properly savor them before they melted, which was absolutely wonderful! Given that it was our first time in the shop, the person serving us was so helpful too! She was able to help us find the perfect size box, answer all of our questions, and give great recommendations. What more could you ask for! I would highly recommend getting some goodies from here if you're in the mood for chocolate or need a fun and gorgeous gift idea!

It's expensive but for doing it every once in awhile it's a great treat. The ice cream is dense and rich so a small cup is very filling. They let you try all the flavors of ice cream before you commit. They used to sing songs when they were tipped. They don't do that anymore. They aren't busy anymore either. Possibly the novelty has worn off. Anyways tonight I received friendly service that was speedy. Worthy of a four star.

Everything feels overpriced for what you get. I would highly recommend finding a better quality coffee spot elsewhere if you actually enjoy good coffee. This place seems more focused on the aesthetic and social media vibe than serving something that appeals to true coffee drinkers with an acquired taste for quality coffee.

This is the latest gas station that's open in the area. I'm surprised that it's taken so long to…read moreget a gas station onto San Marten near the mall. There's a Kum & Go that's pretty creepy all the way up the street, but aside from that, you have to get off of San Marten to get any gas. As I'm someone who comes to the mall pretty often, I was glad to see this new gas station pop up. This gas station is also equipped with a car wash station. It's a very new building with a ton of gas pumps to match. However, despite just opening less than a month ago, three of the gas pumps were out of order. I had to actually wait in a line to get gas during the middle of a day on Thursday - which is something that has never happened to me. On the bright side, I guess it means that Waterloo really could have used this gas station. For those that don't want to worry about turning directly into, or out of, the gas station onto busy San Marten, Kwik-Star's parking lot directly connects to the Super Target parking lot, so you'll be able to get out in an indirect way that goes directly to a stoplight for an easier time getting back onto San Marten. Overall, it's definitely an awesome place for a gas station, and it's clear that it's new and clean. I was surprised to find that things were out of order already, and I was surprised to see quite so many people. Maybe people wouldn't have been waiting in line if all of the pumps were up - who knows? Either way, I'll be back.
