    the front of the restaurant

    My first job was at a shaved ice place in PA to similar to this one, so stopping here brought back all the feels. This is a small, cute shaved ice shop on the outskirts of Brighton. A perfect place to stop on a hot summer day. There are several sizes and flavors to choose from, and the prices are great. The shop was a little busy when I came, and the two girls that were working took and filled orders fast and efficiently. My shaved iced treat was delicious. I will definitely be coming here whenever I'm back in Brighton.

    I totally want to open one of these places. It's such a simple treat and is sooo good! This treat is like a snow cone, but better. They have a huge block of ice and they use a machine that shaves it. This makes it lighter than a snow cone and it seems to hold the flavoring better. I get the small, which is about 8 oz I believe. That is plenty for me because it's packed with delicious sugar. You can have one flavor or mix and match. You can also add cream to it! I stick with 1/2 sour cherry and 1/2 sour grape. Sooooo good! I've tried other flavors like the Bahamas Mama and the Hurricane. Both were good, but I like the kick in the sour stuff. You can add sour spray into the flavors, but I never have. I am going to come here every week and start trying new things. I believe you can add ice cream to cone as well, so I must try that!

    A family pack..

    Highly recommend 10/10! Neat, clean, friendly. We will definitely be returning. I was so impressed with this small shoppe. I wish it were closer to us, with traffic and construction it took 40 minutes to get here, but, we will be making this trip again and again!! So happy to have discovered this tiny gem.

    Cute little sitting area inside.

    Breakfasts are very good here. Their fried chicken is good, however it's extreme pricey for what you get. $7 for a biscuit... OUCH!

    Loved the shaved ice, good comparison to the shaved ice In Hawaii. The texture was more smooth versus crunchy ice

    There were so many flavors to choose- blue raspberry, cherry, root beer, piña colada, birthday cake, dill pickle (something for everyone!?) and many more.

I saw an ad for a Grain Latte (mi-su-ga-ru) and was so curious how it would taste. I haven't noticed it anywhere else (other Korean bakeries), so had to make a trip just for the drink, along with their other goodies. Omg, from the first sip, I was transported back to my childhood. I used to drink the multigrain drink that would come in powder form. But this drink was elevated by the espresso. What a perfect combo! Now this latte isn't sweet, so if you are looking for sweet, this won't be the drink for you. I had my hubs try it out and said he could taste espresso with an aftertaste of the grains- not something he would order, himself. But I'm definitely going to! He ordered the pistachio latte and I could tell it's very different from other ps's I've had from Monday Coffee Club or from Yemeni coffee houses. It definitely has that light, Korean, nutty taste that isn't strong. The baked goodie, I'm happy to say, has expanded and they offer so much more than they did since my last review. They've added a few nice tables and chairs, so you don't have to leave to enjoy your pastries or coffee, unless there's no spots. Highly recommend Y if you enjoy desserts that's not too sweet.

I'm from…read morePennsylvania where the first location started in 1984 and the franchise expanded in the Mid- Atlantic region. 40 years later, the chain has locations in 30 states with around 600 stores total. Rita's reminds me of my childhood. The sweet icy delight my family used to always get in the summertime or when on vacation in Ocean City or Virginia Beach. The store is clean with a few tables and chairs if you choose to enjoy your treat inside. Only one employee was working today and offered me samples of flavors to try. The Italian ice is both dairy and gluten free however the custard is not vegan. While many flavors contain artificial dye like red 40 they have an all natural line that contain no artificial coloring and are made with real fruit and juices. The all natural line includes limited flavors- strawberry, banana, orange, strawberry banana, pineapple and cranberry. Flavors rotate weekly with one sugar free version available. Lots of different menu options such as parfait/gelati, sundaes, misto shake, blendini drink, frozen coffee and plain custard in cones or in a cup. Nutrition info can be found on the website and calorie are posted inside the store on the menu board. My Italian Ice was delicious and I definitely will be returning for my favorite childhood summer treat!

I tasted a couple flavors of Italian ice, then decided to order the Black Cherry 5 layer gelati. There were pieces of black cherry in the ice. It was very yummy. I'll be back! I was told the flavors change often. Ample parking is right outside the door.

We came here on a search from a horrible asian restaurant, PF Changs. We sat at the table without being acknowledged by anyone, no water, no "I'll be right with you," nothing for over 15 minutes. I used the dead time and searched out other asian restaurants and came across this one and we decided to give it a shot, we are so glad we did. We were greeted and shown to a table immediately, received water and menus within a minute, then they even brought out extra menus with photos; you always wonder if the ordered food looks like the photos, it was better! My wife ordered the chicken lo mein and it was incredible; she was thankful that she is a light eater, but even so, she got four meals out of it. I ordered the chicken pho and it was enormous, so much so, that they serve it with a ladle and offer smaller bowls to serve it into. The pho was full of flavor, had plenty of chicken and the incredible noodles along with all the additives you can put in if you choose. We are minimum of once a month in Ann Arbor, and this is now our go to spot. We simply can not recommend it enough!

IMHO, this is pretty good Asian cuisine but not nearly the best in Ann Arbor. My Bulgogi Beef was very satisfying, the girls both got ramen bowls that they enjoyed. The service was less than impressive. One check on us, not even topping off the water visits and not really speaking to us at all. Disappointing. I think that's a fluke and want to return and add stars. It's fine if you're looking for an informal sit-down at an inexpensive price. I wouldn't bring someone here that you want to impress. 08/25
