I specifically ask for my concrete to be lightly blended but they continue to give me soup. I asked to have the toppings on the bottom of the cup and some on top because they usually put them all at top to mask the fact that the rest of the cup is liquid. They still put the toppings on the top. I've wasted almost $8 because it took forever to get through the line and way too crowded to get out and get my money back.

WOW. I had lunch at a pizza shop next door and a friend suggested we pop over for a pastry. I was…read morenot prepared for what awaited me. Tours was bright, cheery, and had soooo many pastries. It was difficult to decide which I wanted. It was like an assembly line of perfect little treats. The staff was very nice and helpful. The selection seemed endless and they had drinks in cans that were delicious. I had a very difficult time choosing which I was going to try. There is a seating area in the rear of the restaurant. It was full of happy people eating pastries and chatting. It was a perfect setting. I had heard about this place for years but never ventured inside. I regret not going to this lovely place sooner. I will definitely go back and recommend. I guess this is a franchise business with locations all over the US. I am just glad we have one in Lawrence. Still... WOW!

Couldn't believe it when I a friend told me this place has been in operation for years. Guess I need to venture over to Lawrence from Topeka more often! While not the case across the board, we found a number of the items we selected to be on par with the quality of treats we enjoy while visiting France. Needless to say I will be wearing out the Turnpike making return visits to this real gem.

It's not quiet, but it's comfortable and at least in the back, easy enough to sit and pound away at the keyboard. Oh, and the coffee was excellent. I love it when a coffee shop serves their cortado in the proper short glass. It was perfection. [Review 794 of 2026 - 134 in Kansas - 25975 overall]

But seriously, I've been coming to Tads (both here and Manhattan) for over eight years. Someone had me try it once and now I'm hooked. I'm not a big ice cream guy, so any time someone suggests it, I drag them here instead because I love it so much! Ok, now onto the review. This isn't typical sno cones or anything. This is soft, shaved ice. These guys have probably 50 different flavors to try (see pic)! Out of the numbers of flavors I've tried, I've never had one I didn't like. I've had some that I wasn't fond of, but none that I've not liked. The people working have always been pleasant. Wait time can be a little longer if it's busy, which it can be on hot summer days. The only complaint I have at all is that I wish there was more seating, and some with shade since it gets so hot during the summer! Other than that, I say drop everything and go to Tads NOW!

The food was top-notch, bursting with fresh flavors that never let me down. The carrot cake was a slice of heaven--moist, perfectly spiced, and topped with a smooth, rich cream cheese frosting that complemented the cake's warmth beautifully. Each bite was just the right balance of sweetness and depth. The hot chocolate was decadent and comforting, with a velvety texture and just the right amount of chocolatey richness. It was served piping hot, topped with a fluffy cloud of whipped cream, making it the perfect pairing to finish off a cozy night. The service was impeccable - our server was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambience was perfect for a night out, with a cozy yet lively vibe. And the live music was the highlight of the evening, creating such a great atmosphere. Five stars all the way - I highly recommend it!
