I love that they change up the special flavors and you can get a cone or a cup. Shout out for the free pup cups with a specific purchase. Almost makes me wanna get a dog so we can enjoy together!

They opened up a new location in Livermore and I would love it if they opened one up near me in Castro Valley so I can enjoy more often!

We did the Royal Dream, traditional tea party setup and absolutely loved the sandwiches, savory bites and sweets. Unlimited tea with 2 servings at a time. All the teas we got we really liked! On the pricier side and limited to only about 1hr or 1.5hr of seating time. Towards the end of our reservation, we definitely felt a bit rushed. Handful of people but all managed by their reservation system. All in all, it was a cute experience.

We came during their holiday special time so we were treated with items that I believe aren't on the typical menu. This was our first time visiting which I've been asking my husband to do for awhile. We were seated next to the door which I wasn't too much of a fan of because when it opened I could feel the breeze come in. Luckily it only happened a few times in the beginning. The inside has so many cute items placed around from tea pots to cups to small trinkets you can purchase. We tried about four different teas during our visit, two hot and two cold. We had Pretty Pink Princess, crème brûlée, tropical and I think pear. I can't remember the last one exactly. I enjoyed the crème brûlée warm the best topped with a little sugar cube and a splash of cream. It's cute that each table gets different tea pots and cups. Even on our table both were different too. I enjoyed the lemon curd, strawberry preserves and whipped cream mixed together with my biscuit as the starter. The tower included from bottom to top Cucumber sandwich, egg sandwich and chicken sandwich Meatball with mash and a cranberry topping, shrimp and steak, onion cheese pastry Chocolate macaron, cherry cupcake, chocolate mousse, fruit tartlet and fresh fruit I may have mixed up a few items because there was so much to eat and I didn't have a menu to take a photo of. I enjoyed each layer of food offerings we had but my favorites were the simple cucumber sandwich and the chocolate mousse. When we first got the tower I thought to myself that it wasn't going to be enough food but let me tell you it was! Of course you're paying a lot for the experience but I didn't need to go eat after we left so overall it was a great experience so it was a nice surprise.

When I check with other bakers then I realized the cake she was offering was way small for 335$. I shared my concern and she was so rude and did not respond friendly. Then she started sending me the pics how to make slices and all. Instead of suggesting other options like making bigger cake she started blaming me for my question. Also, when I told her that I did not like the way she is responding she said she is here for business. She is managing everything by her own and it was late night so she responded like that. I told her I did not want to do business with someone and she immediately told me that she is not returning my money. She kept my 150$ and I had to look for another bakes last minute. Never dealt with someone like this baker. Be aware!!

Are the scoops a little overpriced? Duh. But I would be sad if they were gone so I'll pay up! I love to bring my kids here to get a little scoop of ice cream and then go play by the train depot and run off some of the sugar. It's on the regular rotation as a reward for a good week at school/good behavior. They always have delicious flavors and the people working behind the counter have always been patient while dealing with the little customers. As an adult, the ice cream is actually pretty good quality. I'm very partial to the marbled black raspberry. It's a vanilla ice cream base with a thick ribbon of a black raspberry...jam maybe? Either way, it's so good. The vanilla is actually really good. I've tried a few other flavors and enjoyed all of them. So if you're ever in or around Nile's and a beautiful day, definitely worth the stop to come get a scoop and feel a little Americana nostalgia!

Such a great find for a someone on a Vietnamese coffee kick! This place serves one of the best…read moreVietnamese coffees I've had, despite not advertising itself as a coffee (or Vietnamese) place. For reference, I didn't try the coffee until almost an hour after it had been made. Even factoring in ice melting, the coffee was super rich, velvety, smooth, very strong, everything one would want in a Vietnamese coffee. I can't place the exact flavor but there was some added dimension to this coffee that I don't recall experiencing in other Vietnamese coffees. The portion is comparable to that of iced coffee/matcha places and possibly a bit better than some. It was $7.19 on Doordash so probably/hopefully a bit cheaper in person. I normally Doordash my orders from the poke place that Milkcow shares space with, but based on the times I've been in person the interior is clean and has some seating spread out.

I Doordashed from here, after seeing good reviews. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the…read moreexpectations. I ordered 1 mango cake slice and 1 black forest cake slice. The cakes were predominantly made of cream (which didnt taste good in itself), mango cake was atleast ok to eat (with bits of mango and less cream, but the cake was itself dry).

Found this dessert stand at the Alameda County Fair (in the carnival section), and the fancy gelato…read moremilkshakes on their menu caught my eye. Instead of just plain chocolate, their dark knight milkshake is a mountain of chocolate cake, chocolate fudge, and chocolate sprinkles, all on top of the chocolate gelato blend. And the grasshopper milkshake features peppermint and oreo cookies and crumbles, along with Andes mint candy (my fave) decorating the mint chocolate chip gelato mix. Too many tempting choices, but I had to go with the strawberry shortcake milkshake, made with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, angel cake, and topped off with chocolate fudge and crushed graham crackers... so many layers of flavor I just couldn't resist. As it turns out, the graham cracker crumbs are mainly for decoration, most of it pretty much glued to the plastic mug (not edible). And what shined in this dessert was the "shortcake", not the strawberry. Besides those 3 strawberries on top, I actually didn't get much strawberry flavor from the shake itself. Slightly disappointing, but like I said, the sponge cake and toppings were fresh and tasty, and the gelato wasn't bad, just lacking a sweetness and tartness that you get from actual strawberries, tasted almost watered down. Luckily, the presentation of the drink (served with both a spoon and straw) almost makes up for that. And I love that 50% of their profits go to charity. They're based in Atascadero, but travel to different events and festivals all over, currently at the fair in Pleasanton this summer. Overall, the product and service is decent, with unique offerings on their menu like churro sandwiches which I find intriguing even if I'm more of a milkshake kinda gal. If I could do it again, I'd go with with the mint or chocolate flavor though.

We got the breakfast plates: - corned beef hash: 3.5/5 (average corned beef hash plate with sourdough toast nothing special) - egg Benedict: 3/5 (this was ok because it did come out kind of soggy and the sauce slowly drooped down, hollandaise sauce was diff than what I'm used to) - apple and cinnamon crepe: 4/5 (the flavor was def good but our mistake was we should've ordered this after our meal since it had ice cream on it. It started melting but the flavor was great, I just know if it was fresh it would be amazing! - now for the star for me was this cute little add on they had for their hot lattes! You can add any picture of your choice to me latte art! We did our dogs and it actually turned out so cute! Overall I would come back to try other crepes if I'm in the area and want another cool latte art!
