Birthday Cake Pop: I'm definitely in the minority of Millennials that do not frequent Starbucks on…read morea regular basis. Not that some of their drinks are not delicious, I just like playing barista at home (as well as saving some dough). I enjoy Starbucks enough that there was no way I was going to turn down a free cup and dessert (co-worker was treating). Cake pops were invented in 2007 to the credit of Angie Dudley, but exploded in popularity during the 2010s thanks to Lerida Mojica, the creator of New York Cake Pops. 2011 would see Starbucks adding them to the menu and here we are. Starbucks describes their Birthday Cake version as "bite-sized vanilla cake mixed with vanilla buttercream, dipped in pink chocolaty icing and topped with white sprinkles". Birthday cake is one of my favorite desserts, but I confess that I've never had a cake pop. That said, this treat was phenomenal and is the best bakery item I've ever had from Starbucks. I can't believe I've slept on this for so long! Both the icing shell and cakey inside are supper soft. The cake itself is incredibly buttery, moist, and sweet. It's literally like cake batter on a stick. Don't let the pink fool you as there's no fruity flavor, but instead a fantastically done vanilla buttercream cake flavor. Single drawback is that I could only get 3-4 small bites out of it and I'm sure some people engulf these in just one or two. It's so tasty that a full-size cake would be dangerous, Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews

If they are wondering why their coffee sales are low. It's because nobody works there. Today I had to ask two employees if anybody was working. After waiting seven minutes, then asking someone, five minutes later two employees appeared, one was training the other. There was a lot of confusion and then they overcharged me by five dollars. Again, if you're going to put a coffee shop in your store, please make sure that your employees aren't just messing around out on the floor and that they know how to do their job.

You have to download an app to place your order, which I didn't love. Thankfully, there was an attendant there who explained the process because, without their help, I probably would've been confused and left. My drink was good, but unfortunately the matcha was missing from it. They noticed the issue and refunded me, which I really appreciated. Since this is a newer spot, I think they're still working out some of the kinks. Overall, I'd give it another try. Hopefully, the ordering process and a few of the details get smoother as they settle in!

Finally made it to Candy Cloud!…read more The prices are very reasonable I honestly thought they would be higher especially due to the "cup". Between three of us we tried a good variety and everything was really tasty! The only issue was my refresher I added boba to and realized while halfway home while drinking it that no boba was added! you pay extra for that so that was most the disappointment with that. Due to the way the layering effort the drink had I assumed they were in there and they were noted on the order ticket. It's an interesting atmosphere with kind of a no employee contact vibe however someone said welcome or hello every time the door opened - but you order and pay all on your own unless you are paying with cash then you ring a bell. Ordering was easy and actually made working through the menu smoother since you could visually see what all the drinks/items looked like. I would definitely go back if in the area.

Most of the mochinut flavors don't match the flavors named on the glass so just ask them. Luckily they were full of flavors when I arrived and it was pretty empty on a Saturday night. The drinks look nice and pretty so everything here had a nice presentation. They have a small eat in area with lounge seating to just chill out. The swings are back, last few time I was here they were out of service. Not something I'm craving for and can't wait to come for again but a good treat.

I was kind of in a rush to go to another place to eat and I was in and out of the place in no time. Staff was friendly and fast. I would come back just to hang and have a social hangout. The place is bright inside with lots of lighting and seating. I wonder why ice cream places are always bright? Check this place out! Free parking in the area if you purchase something. Just be mindful of a person watching the parking area who oversees and makes sure you actually are purchasing something from the stores that the parking area houses.

So I got a medium iced salted Carmel latte 1/3 espresso 2/3 decaf. I also had to grab the strawberries and cream pop pastry when I saw it because any other time it's been sold out. 5/5 for presentation. 2.5 for me as far as far as eating it goes, it was pretty messy, and I feel like they're could have been more filling. I'll still attempt to re-create it but with those tweaks. It was a beautiful fall day, nice enough to have the windows open inside, and warm enough to sit outside when the shop closed for a little bit in what feels like a fairy garden to sit in. Got a good chunk of work done, it was quiet inside. Each location has it charm, and the consistency is always re-assuring. Today I saw they have shakes on the menu. I Will HAVE to get the iced mocha next time. And get risky and try the seasonal drink menu, pumpkin spice latte, and banana date matcha.

I got the Almond Brittle Iced Latte with almond milk and it just tasted watered down and most of the ice was melted when received. The lemon lavender cookie was pretty good and I would get that again. It was crunchy and very sweet. I do love that they have a variety of food items that are DF and GF but the peach ginger oatmeal was also a bit of a disappointment. It was just plain oatmeal with a glob of peaches on top, which technically is what the description says but besides the few bites with peach the rest is plain, no flavor oatmeal. I'd go to Colectivo again and try a different coffee and breakfast.
