Half our party got there early around 7 pm, and they sat us early. I got the Basil Pesto Cream with spaghetti + veal meatball - this is one of the best pesto dishes I've ever had! And that meatball was great. We shared the Fried Zucchini - we all enjoyed it. I loved the breading. The complimentary fresh focaccia was incredible. You get free refills, AND they give you MORE if you have leftovers to take home! My fiancé got some of the focaccia pizza: Slice of Classic Italian with Pepperoni & hot honey, and a slice of Margherita. He loved this! I took a couple bites & it was delish! Our server Sheresa was AMAZING! @ Papa J's management - she deserves a raise! She was so sweet and so on top of everything. She even cut and served the outside cake we brought (shoutout Oakmont Bakery). She also brought us free samples of their gelato, which were amazing. This was a 10/10 experience and I can't wait to go back.

It also Thanksgiving break so not a busy ice cream time.

We were waitied on immediately, asked if we wanted to sample any flavors.. I personally just wish they had more fall/winter seasonal flavors instead of lemon cookie and other flavors that remind me more of summer. But they did have a nice selection of flavors (three cases full) and they the typical selection cups, cones, sundaes and milkshakes. They do not accept cash! It's an Oakland staple, glad they've remained open and in the same spot all these years.

As soon as I entered the shop, an employee very kindly spoke with me. She patiently waited while I decided which flavors of ice creams to order, and she offered me free samples. Almost a couple dozen flavors were on display (e.g., pumpkin Oreo, strawberry, fruit cocktail, chocolate s'mores, keylime pie, Heath, and cookie dough). I ordered a cone with one scoop of Nutter Butter ice cream (5 stars) and one scoop of Oatmeal Raisin ice cream (4 stars). It cost several dollars. These scoops were a very large size and tasted good to excellent. I enjoyed my ice-cream cone. Some indoor seating was available. As I was leaving the shop, the employee thanked me and wished me a good day. One recommendation is to paint the walls a fun color other than white.

Examples of hard ice creams are cookies-n-cream, mint chocolate chip, and chocolate fudge brownie. Examples of Italian ices are cherry, blueberry, mango, root beer, cotton candy, orange cream, lemon, and lime. Cyclone mix-ins include Oreo, Reese's Pieces, Snickers, Butterfinger, brownie, M&M, Heath, etcetera. So far, my husband and I have been customers here one time. Two employees promptly and courteously took our order and payment (cash only) and made our ice creams. My husband enjoyed his chocolate soft-serve ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry. I liked my banana split with my choice of ice creams--vanilla, black raspberry, and butter pecan--with pineapple, strawberries, whipped cream, walnuts, and a cherry.

It's small and homey and playful and inviting. We had both savory crepes and sweet crepes here and they were all good. For savories, we had the Bonjour and the Love Hate Thing. I liked the Love Hate Thing better. The maple syrup on the Bonjour didn't do anything for me. There was just a lot going on. The sweet crepes were delicious; both the Banoffee and the Cookie Monster were tasty, but Cookie Monster wins--the crunchy bits on there were clutch. The crepes themselves have a really nice texture and flavor, not gummy or tough, and they complimented both the sweet and savory fillings nicely. Next time I go I'm going to try a waffle or French toast, as all the plates around me looked great and I think sweet might be my way to go here. Coffee is Lavazza, espresso is LaPrima.
