The tender moist beef slices on a roll were very good. The Ginger dressing on the salad was flavorful, and I wish I could buy it to elevate salads at home. We enjoyed the Red Bean Ice Cream which is creamy with tidbits of bean. Outstanding. Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient! Ambiance is relaxed which was welcome after shopping on Wolf Road.

Ultimately, two things compel me to deduct a star: what should have been an over easy fried egg was overcooked complete with burn marks, and our souffle didn't come out until well over 10 minutes after our friend's dessert came out despite our specific request to have the souffle right when we finished our meal. Otherwise, the service seemed like a team effort, as several waitstaff interacted with us during this visit. Staff were overall friendly and helpful. We got here within an hour of opening, but without a reservation, there was only a handful of bar seats available which was fine. The vibe overall was bright, modern, yet quaint, with wavy mirrored ceilings definitely giving off a storybook sort of vibe. The chicken tender gave me hope that it's possible for restaurants to make it crispy on the outside and hot and juicy inside. Their waffle was delightfully light, and the runny maple syrup was a perfect fit for it. The smoked salmon eggs Benedict was delicious, and the brown sugar boba mille crepe cake's subtly sweet, delicate layers soaked up the creamy, salty milk foam. Their boba was well cooked, and I have no complaints about it. We'll be back, and when we do, I really hope the team will deliver a solid 5-star experience because they can.

When we got inside, the friendly gentleman (the owner, I believe), broke the news that he only had double Dutch left. He described it and hubby and I thought, well, that sounds delicious. We each got a slice to go. Service was excellent, prices were decent. The place is small but I can understand why they have raving reviews. Cheesecake Machismo knows their cheesecake. Husband carried the cheesecake slices on the walk back to our hotel and kept saying he could smell them. We were saddened to know they were not open the next day (Sunday) and were also closed on Memorial Day. We both wished we got an extra slice! Don't miss out on this special treat.

It's open early so we stopped by on the way into vermont after staying in the area. There is parking available in front of the store. There is no sign at the plaza but there is LED donut shop sign and wooden sign at the front of the shop. Inside is small and there are no seatings so everyone seemed to be coming to pick up their orders. Inside is decorated with lots of different colors and really gives off LGBTQ vibe. They offer lots of specialized donut options. I ended up getting apple cider cake and maple praline matcha drink. My donut was nice and sweet, crunchy and flavorful. My drink was creamy and slightly sweet matcha flavor was nice and light. Only thing that could have been better is if the donut could be warmer. Especially with apple cider donut it would have tasted better slightly warm. May be good to offer option to heat it up for customers at least those that are eating right after purchase there. Service was good and the staff were very nice and welcoming. It wasn't too busy so we didn't had to wait much. Overall it's a nice donut shop with good donuts and drinks. Curious how the sandwiches are which i'm interested maybe next time if there are opportunity. Overall a solid place.

They have tea, but I wanted cheesecake. The cheesecake was excellent! You order online or at their kiosk inside. It's best to keep checking online to see if the desserts you want are in stock yet, if they aren't, they're listed as sold out. The ube cheesecake was creamy, sweet, with cream. The triple matcha cheesecake was very good, tasted like matcha, and best if you don't like dessert too sweet. Each piece of cake was around $10-11 would be nice if it was bigger, but it's great as it is because it's dense. It's so cute inside! Service is fast! Highly recommend!

The numerous flavors of ice cream are rich and bold. They are described well on the menu. Portions are generous so you may want to size down. I like a "small" cone of the Toffee Heath Bar Crunch.

As soon as I opened the box, I was honestly a bit disappointed by how tiny they were for the price (the photo make them look bigger). The flavor options are fun, and I liked the taste of all of them. Double chocolate chip was probably my favorite, while red velvet was my least favorite. It had a bit of a strange taste to me. I think the main appeal of Nocturnal Cookies is that they're perfect for satisfying a late night sweet tooth since they're open until 1 a.m., but for the price, I just don't think they're worth it.
