Yes! I went after meeting a friend in the area and glad I did. There is street parking and it is accessible. Was able to look at the menu and got excited. I love horchata and tres leche and there was tons of both to choose from. I got a chai horchata frappe and Dulce de Leche cake. Both were really good. I appreciated the flavor. I am so glad we stopped by. I will definitely be back while I am in town as I was there was a location closer to my area.

Finally got to try Ricko's Churro bar! I've been meaning to try them ever since they opened. It's definitely a vibe, nicely decorated, clean and tunes playing, very limited seating though. The service was..... Not the best, so off to a blah start. The young lady that is at the register taking orders is also preparing the orders, thank goodness it was just us at the moment because I can see that being a disaster of they are busy. She made me the incorrect order and had to remake my order which was a bit annoying, and offered no apology... She remakes the correct order and hands me this concoction that's dripping everywhere and getting me all sticky..... I hate when places like this go viral and the product is mediocre at best. Maybe, I didn't get the right thing. I got the Dulce de Leche soft serve and it was just too much going on! Lol, I like to think I have a sweet tooth, but this was too much for me! And that may just be a me thing. My son has mentoring across the street so I'm sure we'll be back, and next time I think I'm going to keep it simple and maybe get a stuffed churro! Hopefully, the service will be better!

My friend wanted a churro so I got her one. The place had a lot of tres leches cake flavors that all looked really good. Will definitely have to check it out for myself, always down for tres leche. The servers were nice and the inside was quaint, good little cafe spot for a sweet treat in between shopping around Noda.

Cute place with a large variety of churros, coffee, matcha, shakes and ice cream. I got the Crème Brûlée Churro. I was delicious fresh out the fryer. The prices are decent. If you are in NODA go check them out.

Wow. These Churros are to die for! They come out nice and warm and the soft serve ice cream is like the cherry on top.

Cute little churro shop in Noda Charlotte. Churros were ok. The dulce de leche dip not. Service was a little slow but kind.

Great spot for churros! Wife and I stopped in after dinner and this place did not disappoint. The soft serve ice cream was also amazing. I got the Dulce De Leche combo and it was so so good! The workers were friendly and was fun watching them fill and make all of the different variations! There were indoor and outdoor seating options as well.

Absolutely love this spot! Fresh churros and ice cream are the best. I get the strawberry cheesecake churro with ice cream everyone.

Nutella stuffed churro
Brian N.

Great treats, not a lot of space. Could use some more help working. Both churros were awesome!

Cookie Monster
Ian N.

Cookie Monster (3/5): Fun presentation with the googly eyes on the churro, the cookie, and the chocolate syringe, but ultimately not that tasty. The churro itself was tough and chewy (which is typically not what you're looking for, but I enjoyed it) but had good cinnamon flavor. This is extremely rare, but I actively disliked the ice cream. It was lumpy, icy, and had a weird flavor. If I come again, I'll stick with just the churro and not the sundaes. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

Churro bar and fixings
Alex H.

Yes, believe the hype. This place is amazing! A churro bar like they have in Mexico and other places. Makes a cheat day so worth it! I had the kinder churro combo with soft serve vanilla, ginger man cookie, and a kinder bar. For a limited time, champurrado! Which is Mexican hot chocolate. The place is jumping during the weekend, I came on a Friday afternoon so no wait. So run, don't walk, to Ricko's Churros Bar, then power walk your happy belly back home

Nice little place. Great variety of Churros. The service was great and welcoming. Very small place so you will find it difficult to eat in. This place will not disappoint If you are craving for something sweet.

El Basico
Anusha J.

We came here with some friends after wanting to try it since I love churros. We came here and noticed there wasn't much seating and after we ordered, it took a while for the food to come out. We got the El Basico which is 4 churros with chocolate sauce and the churro were average and the chocolate sauce was not the best. I had high hopes coming here but was quite let down after my experience here and mostly likely won't come back.

Reviews are generally positive. People highlight the fresh churros, creative dessert options, and friendly staff. The inviting ambiance is also appreciated.

Some of the best churros I have ever had, the filled ones literally made me do a double take from how good it is. Great staff and food.

I typically visit for brunch, and highly recommend the Shakshuka - it's my to-go almost every time I visit. That said, the Frijoles de la Olla, Boxty Browns, and of course the Chicken & The Egg are delicious. There was a recent renovation and they have now expanded the patio, only enhancing the experience. Pre-renovation, they were hosting monthly wine tastings which I attended monthly! While these have not been brought back yet, my fingers are tightly crossed these go back on the calendar soon! (hint, hint to the owners) The food at the wine tastings is delicious, and while simple, a huge standout was the best popcorn I have ever had and an Asian noodle salad!

I got a breakfast burrito that is surprisingly filling for being just one smaller burrito. Service was fantastic! For a busy morning with a line out the door, they were prompt with filling waters and making sure our tables/chairs were cleaned. My order accidentally had chorizo in it and they immediately took it back, apologized and made a fresh vegetarian one. It's always great to see the nice gentleman at the front who takes orders, he's so friendly! The ambiance is the only thing that could take this spot to the next level! Currently on bad weather days the inside seating is limited and feels cramped with large parties. For the most part, sitting outside is the way to go on the picnic tables! There is a classic cozy feel to the smaller space!

I always say I wish they were closer, but I probably would be in weekly if they were. Nice spot in Plaza Midwood so I don't mind coming here. Great Italian bakery.

I have literally been coming to Crave for over 15 years. I was a fan then and I'm still a fan now…read more I have a serious sweet tooth so I love that this dessert bar offers a variety of sweets for different pallets from the drinks to the cheesecakes and the cakes, I can always find something that I like. On this particular visit, I sat on the patio, which I had never done before, but it was nice and quiet and very relaxing on a Sunday evening. I ordered the cheesecake and it was garnished with caramel popcorn, which added a nice touch to look at, but the popcorn was stale so I don't really think it was necessary, but it did make the plate look pretty. The cheesecake was delicious. Couldn't finish it all, but I took it home and finished it the next day. Our server was great. She was very attentive, friendly, and gave good suggestions. Love Crave and I'll again and again.

But a good friend of mine said that they go all the time and haven't had any issues and wanted to get me to try it again. So, we went on a Saturday evening around 6ish. We didn't necessarily have any issues getting in, but the hostess did say that her security might have an issue with the shirt my friend had on, even though he was very dressed up. It made me uncomfortable and seemed threatning almost. But she let us in and everything was fine. I don't understand why Crave always acts this way. But then when I walk in I see people of non-color dressed any kind of way, casual, etc. It just really rubs me the wrong way and for it to happen to me EVERY time I go, only leads me to one conclusion... So, anyway. We were there and we ordered hookah drinks and had a good time. Our server was super sweet and chill. She really saved the visit. I had a good time, but I most likely will not be back again.

The L'erreuer de Perséphone is a tequila based drink that has grapefruit, lime, cinnamon, and pomegranate.

The sweet bartender realized I was taking pictures and gave me a rosemary garnish and lemon twirl. The attention to detail was so kind. The atmosphere cannot be beat here.
