I originally stopped here because I wanted to try some of their many viral fruit desserts and they…read moredefinitely did not disappoint. This market had the largest collection of any of the desserts I have seen and I have even been to bakeries that specialize in them. It was a dream looking through those display cases and my mouth was watering. (See video) Beyond the desserts though, I really enjoyed browsing this market. From what I understand, this is a Ukrainian-owned grocery store, bakery and Cafe and many of the products they sell here are imported from Ukraine. There were lots of things that you don't typically see at a regular grocery store, and I was especially excited for the sweets and snacks. I got some french macarons and lemon squares in addition to the other bakery items and I even found some soda flavored popcorn. It was... Interesting. It's always fun to try something new! They also had a gorgeous flower selection and a nice seating area inside. If that wasn't enough, they even have private outdoor dining domes where visitors can sit and eat. (I snapped a photo of them on the side of the building as we were leaving.) So, when you do stop here to try out some of the delicious baked goods, you'll have a nice place to sit and enjoy the experience. This is definitely a spot worth checking out and supporting and if I lived closer I would visit often.

Like many people driving through Ashford, I had just gotten done with a very early morning of…read morehiking at Rainier. I stopped here very hungry and desperate for a good hot meal after lots of trail food. This is a great option for a meal right near the park. Though a little overpriced, they have great options for a healthy (or sweet) meal anytime of day. Employees are very friendly and the vibe is quiet and quaint. Food was very solid with ample portions. It's a very cutesy interior with nice wooden trim everywhere, big wooden stools and tables, and a nice clean bathroom. My crepe had veggies and turkey, plus some cheese. Ratios were good and it was nicely seasoned. The cappuccino was decent. Pretty standard. Delicious honey cake! Not a dessert you can get everywhere in the U.S., so I was excited to order it. The only reason I don't put it at 5 stars is because it's overpriced. Everything is in this area of course, it's right by the park, and they can only really operate successfully during the months when the park is open. I would come back here to try their lunch and dinner service. And of course it's much better than fast food after a day of hiking. Be sure to stop by their lavender fields on your way out for some wonderful smells!

We were really looking forward to this experience and happy to support Ukrainian immigrants when…read moredeciding to come to Paradise Village Restaurant. Also, the establishment is in a lovely location a few miles from Mt Ranier NP. Alas neither the service nor food was good. While we didn't wait long for initial service to take our order and to get our wine and salads, the entrees took a while (didn't check my watch to see how long we waited) and the dishes were delivered separately; I had the chicken kebabs (both meat and vegetables were cold). By the time I stopped eating (I ate less than half of my entree), my husband got his entree. He ordered the pork ribs, which were the appropriate temperature and tasted good. As for service, twice we asked another server to get the person waiting on us for water and a second glass of wine for my husband, and to ask for our check. At the beginning of our experience, we saw interesting entrees on the menu for breakfast and thought to return in the next day or so and give them another try. After a disappointing dinner experience, we will not return.

The borscht was my standout pick here--rich, savory beet soup that tastes even better with a big…read moredollop of creamy sour cream to balance the tangy broth. I also loved their beef wrap; tender marinated beef paired with fresh veggies wrapped in soft flatbread, simple but super flavorful. Sadly, I didn't get to try khinkali (the Georgian soup dumplings locals call "Georgian buns") because they sold out early that day, so I'll have to come back earlier next time. I ordered the national dish Adjaruli khachapuri, the iconic boat cheese bread. It's authentic and packed with melted cheese and runny egg yolk, but it's pretty heavy and rich--best shared with others if you don't have a huge appetite.

Right at noon, people started filling up Point Ruston, lining up especially for a pop up donut vendor and the taco place next door to Zaya. Zaya has a beautiful selection of Eastern and Western pastries on display: normal and giant sized macarons, honey cake, eclairs, walnut caramel cookies, cream filled horns, cannoli, sweet breads, muffins, cookies, and more. The price is average, not too cheap like a mass market bakery but not too expensive like a bougie French patisserie. They also serve handcrafted coffee and tea drinks and hot lunch foods like crepes, borscht, and of course pirsoshky. I ordered a chicken pirsoshky (about $6), a cup of borscht (vegetarian, about $4-5), a walnut cookie, and a cream filled horn. They have some bar height tables right in front of the counter but also some normal tables just across the walkway. As I waited, the 2 young ladies working were so busy preparing food or drink that they totally ignored people waiting in line. That was unfortunate because it means lost customers and revenue that day. Seems like they need more training or more support to handle the crowd (though it really didn't seem that busy). I think it took 15 mins to get my pirsoshky gen another 15 to get my borscht. I'm surprised because I thought these were already prepared and could just be warmed up. The guys that went before me waited just as long as I did. Thankfully all of us waiting didn't make a fuss but if someone was in a hurry this would be very frustrating. The pirsoshky was tasty. Wish it had a bit more filling but overall I liked the browning and flavor. It got dry quickly though. My borscht was piping hot and very tasty. It was served with wheat peasant bread slices and sour cream, which was a nice surprise. The soup was so good I want to try and recreate this at home. The pastries were overall good but the cream horn left something to be desired... Maybe I'm just desiring another one to feel satisfied haha. I would go back to try more things but they need to improve the service.

She was definitely working so hard to get all of our others in, cook food, and make drinks. So she is definitely a hard worker, also she was super nice and friendly to us even when she's super busy. My husband and I think it's worth to wait a bit and enjoy the sun. If you are in hurry then definitely not a good idea to come here cuz you might have to wait a bit. We randomly walked by this place and thought maybe we should get coffee. Then we saw they have pierogi; so we decided to stay and have dinner here. I got garlic potatoes and he got chicken pierogi. Mine was perfect! The garlicky flavor and potatoes, with sour cream. The chicken one is juicy but there were slightly too much salt sprinkled on the pierogi. So it got a little bit too salty. We also got two dessert and they were amazing! The mocha I got was okay, not really my favorite. I like that you can sit outside, and she said she will wave at us when the food is ready to pick up, I just wish they can open the windows so it will be so much easier to get the food.

I could not tell the difference between the dumplings, but they were really not something I'd ever order again or recommend to anyone. Again very cold, and the flavors just were not good, they were sprinkled with way too much raw curry powder. The beef piroshky had nothing but dry crumbly beef inside, that's it. There was no flavor to any of the food other than the sauces they come with (which is just sour cream and a mayo based sriracha). The pastry itself was delightful but nothing about the food makes me want to come back or tell anyone about it.
