An ice cream shop named after the constitutional amendment that ended Prohibition? Um...Yes!…read more With a theme like that, I had to try the apple whiskey ice cream while I was in Apple Valley. When did Apple Valley get hip? The cookies-and-cream scone made for a great breakfast, the owners were incredibly friendly, and they even sell used kids' books for 50 cents. If I lived nearby, I'd probably set up my laptop there for remote work and slowly make my way through the rest of the menu. Shoutout to 21st Amendment Creamery and Bakery.

I don't think I have ever seen mexican baked goods like these in the high desert. Sure, I have seen…read morebreads and sugar cookies at our local Mexican grocery stores, but there were some tarts and pastries at LA Familia Bakery that I have never seen. I have been to the local markets, and yes, they have baked goods. But La Familia Bakery serves up fresh goods and you can smell it and see if from their bakery. Some favorites are their fruit tarts, almond croissant, and their concha, of course!

They also have a coffee mug special, you purchase their mug and you get special deals on Mondays. For the food and coffee, I ordered the ultimate grilled cheese, the pizza version. It was AMAZING!!!! Having the marinara sauce on the side was the perfect touch! For the drink, it was good but a tad too sweet for me so I asked for a redo at half sweet and it was perfect! I would definitely come back!

I visited The Grind Coffee for the first time on Mother's Day weekend, and I was really…read moredisappointed with the experience. I ordered two drinks and a breakfast sandwich. I have no complaints about the food or the coffee itself--everything tasted good once I finally received it. The issue was the wait time, which was honestly unacceptable. I waited about 40 minutes for my sandwich and over 50 minutes for my drinks. It wasn't until I went up to ask what was going on that my order was finally given to me. I understand it was a busy holiday weekend, but the wait times and lack of communication were frustrating. There were also multiple people waiting a long time for DoorDash orders as well, which added to the chaos.

Her personality is infectious, she's friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the whole visit feel special. Give that woman a raise! On the food side -- wow. The Perks Panini was amazing, seriously one of the best I've had. Perfectly pressed, great flavors, no notes. And then there was the 32 oz carrot cake drink... out of this world doesn't even cover it. I don't know how they packed that much flavor into a cup but I was not complaining. I could drink that every single day. This place has great food, great drinks, and even better people. Perks has officially earned a regular customer. Highly recommend!

The only issue I had was the customer service. I came here Saturday the 23rd around 3:00-3:30 PM…read morewith 2 friends. The girl at the counter was on the phone before taking our order. She saw us walk in, and it took about 5 minutes before she acknowledged us and said she'd be with us. We honestly didn't mind waiting at first, but while standing there we could hear her personal conversation on the phone. At first we thought it was work related or maybe she was taking an order, but she was actually giving someone directions on how to post photos on her damn IG .SMH. When she finally took our order, one of my friends asked questions about the drink she wanted, and the employee was pretty short with her answers. My friend ended up getting what seemed like strawberry milk instead of the coffee drink with strawberry foam/syrup she expected, so unfortunately her drink was kind of a mess. Me and my other friend got the Seattle Freeze, and that was actually really good super delicious. We sat down and about 10minutes later she went right back on the phone. Another customer came in a couple with their kid and this time she clearly saw them walk in. The customers stood there waiting and looking at her, but she still didn't acknowledge them. Then she says whoever she was talking to on the phone..." Oh...customers just walked in" when the customers had literally been standing there already watching her. This is unprofessional ..customers were not a priority at all. The wait itself wasn't the issue, it was more the fact that she didn't seem to care.
