Island Fin Poké Company made a quiet but flavorful impression on our recent visit. Mrs. K. and I…read morewere the only customers, which gave the experience a relaxed, almost private feel. A friendly young woman greeted us and prepared our bowls with care, walking us down the options without rushing. Mrs. K. chose a rice base topped with a sweet and spicy sauce that struck a lovely balance. I went with greens and a spicy avocado sauce that added just the right kick without overwhelming the freshness of the ingredients. Both bowls were vibrant, well-portioned, and reasonably priced at $14, though there is a $2 upcharge for surimi and for masago, which is worth noting if you're customizing your bowl with extras. The restaurant itself was spotless. The assembly line looked well maintained, with ingredients neatly arranged and everything moving smoothly. It's a small detail, but it speaks to the pride they take in their setup and the consistency they aim to deliver. As a pescatarian, Mrs. K. has a soft spot for poke, and this spot hit the mark. I have no doubt we'll be back--probably sooner than later. [Review 1312 of 2025 - 4446 in North Carolina - 24864 overall]

After looking for something different to try for lunch I came across Island fin poke as a good…read moreoption. They had a variety of combinations and selections. I decided to go with 3 the different protein which sounded like a lot. Put once she got to scooping my options it wasn't much. Everything looked fresh and tasty that was in the display for you to choose. The lady who helped us knew the products and answered all my questions. The picnic tables were a little dirty so we decide to eat at the tables closer to the window. My bowl was good and very light. I was extremely hungry after eating it. I think the protein size should have been a little bit more for the price. If you look for a light light option here you got. It was OK.

This place made me LOVE Philly cheesesteaks. I never liked them (even when I was actually in…read morePhilly) until I came here. Now I'm obsessed. Absolutely incredible. The owner was also incredibly sweet and took the time to talk with us about how the team went to Philly and did so much research before opening this place. You can truly taste the care and effort that went into it! The prices are more than worth it in my opinion , and every time we're in Charlotte, this is a must stop for us. Mouthwatering, packed with flavor, and absolutely worth any wait. I honestly wish they'd open one in Raleigh because we'd be there every single week. This place is officially a staple for us, and I cannot rave about these cheesesteaks enough. Thank you for serving the community and honestly don't listen to any review that isn't 5 stars.

While it was not a great first impression, I will be willing to give this place a second chance based on the follow-up alone! In times where customer courtesy and being a customer-conscientious business seems to have fallen to the wayside of pure profit and capitalism, I have to give full kudos as to how quickly and kindly this situation was handled. Well done and thank you for making me feel seen, heard, and valued!!! Just goes to show, voicing your experiences on these kinds of platforms can result in action :)

A bright, fun vibe filled with so many options. They also have a to-go window on the left side of the shop! Choose your option! One thing that really stood out is that Abbott's still lets you sample a flavor if you ask -- a small but meaningful touch that many places have stopped offering. It makes the experience feel more personal and fun, especially when you're torn between several great options. The chocolate almond was the standout flavor of the night. Smooth, perfectly balanced with almonds. It's one of those flavors you try once and immediately know you will be back again soon. Enjoy!

It's taken a little over a year for me to get to Cinnaholic. I tried to go during the free event…read moreand never made it. My family was grieving the lost of our pet and decided to stop in for some comfort food while out running errands. We got 3 of the cinnamon rolls. We got the Caramel Apple Pie Roll, the Blueberry Pie Roll and the Grinch Roll. I sampled all of the cinnamon rolls. I wouldn't say that I had a favorite. They were all satisfactory but they left me with an odd taste in my mouth. They were sweet and aesthetically pleasing but I probably wouldn't order them again. I felt like they were a bit over priced and didn't give me the wow factor I was expecting. I hate to say this but we never finished any of the rolls and I feel like they went in the fridge and were never finished but trashed after a couple days. Overall I'm glad I gave them a try but won't be back. Cinnaholic 6461 Old Monroe Rd Ste F Indian Trail, NC 28079 Saturday December 19, 2020 11:45am (Review 476 overall, 20 of 2021)

Went with the Cookie Monster and oh my lord, it was delicious. Also pretty cool that it's vegan. While I myself am not vegan, it's good to have options out there for those that are. A few things to note: The coffee wasn't anything special, still good, but honestly coffee isn't the reason I stopped here. Staff was quite pleasant & friendly, as always I appreciate that. Parking is pretty tight in the front but there's plenty of room around the back Overall a good experience, definitely gonna try some more options there.

Their cookies are soft and chewy and come with a thick layer of icing (if you get an iced cookie). They even have special seasonal cookies. We went with a 4 pack to sample a variety, and were not disappointed. The peanut butter was a favorite. They also have mixed sodas - think soda shop - with all different syrups you can mix in. You can make your own or try one of their creations. They also have smoothies and bottled beverages. I went with the pina colada dole whip smoothie and it was heaven in a cup!

I understand that inventory issues can happen, but the lack of communication and follow-through has been extremely disappointing. Based on this experience, I will not be ordering from this business again.
