I usually go for a chocolate banana when I'm feeling like I need ti be healthy and a coke float with chocolate/vanilla swirl soft serve when I don't. If you want to try something weird try the soda freeze that's any soda with soft serve put in a machine to make a slushie thing, it's odd but good. Just don't use sprite as your base drink, that be nasty.

This sounded good after dinner at a nearby restaurant and before a show at Belly Up. I had never…read morebeen to this location before even though I've tried all the restaurants in this mall. The parking lot was pretty empty. It was a bit of a cool night and there was no line. I looked at the different flavors and there were a few. I opted for a soft serve. I just got the plain vanilla, but had it dipped in the butterscotch shell because I was feeling nostalgic for the dipped cones I had as a child. The woman helping us was patient while we made up our minds. I needed napkins as it started dripping immediately, even through the thick coating. We sat at the tables outside and ate our cones. The butterscotch tasted ok but it was really thick and waxy so I didn't finish it. If I were in the area i might come back and get ice cream or soft serve again but skip the dip.

We were at a birthday party when they announced "kona ice is here" and then the party cleared out!…read moreCurious as to where everyone had gone we followed outside and saw the kona ice truck parked on the street. They gave everyone a cup of shaved ice then had a flap/door open on the truck that had self serve flavors. There was tiger blood, watermelon mint, root beer for about 8 different flavors. I had to ask to make sure parents could get one too and when I got the ok I was as excited as the kids! I got tiger's blood, pina colada and water melon mint. Apparently I used too light of hand to flavor mine as I got about half way down and my ice did not have any flavor on it so I topped it off. It was such a fun birthday party idea and perfect for the super hot day. I looked up the prices online as I thought it must be super expensive and it is so reasonable! $135 for 25 regular sized ices. Unfortunately my kid has a winter birthday but something to keep in mind for future special occasions with large groups of people.

Overall, a fun place to check out, especially if you enjoy food that's as Instagram-worthy as it is tasty!

It was definitely worth the price for the amount you get. For taste, I think all the flavors are super artificial (i mean afterall it is syrups) but normally it doesnt bother me and for this it was just really strong fake taste especially of their ube flavor. I do think the sweet cream complimented it very nice and I liked it all when I mixed the ice cream in. The blend was extremely pleasant. I also really appreciated how patient the staff were when I was looking at the menu they were kind about letting me fully look through it all. Id say this is a good place to go with chill vibes and after a long summer day on the beach. Perfect cool down snack

The store was colorful and casual. I decided to go with Strawberry Lemonade and Watermelon. It was the perfect combination. They offer a good variety of flavors. Something for everyone.

We ordered a Banh Mi sandwich which was one of the best I've had. The vegetables were pickled In House and were Awesome, really made the sandwich in my opinion. The bread was from a local bakery, soft and airy....Soooo good. My daughter ordered Crispy Rice which was flavorful and fresh.

Sister Snack Shack (formerly Cindy's Snack Shack), located right next to Fletcher Cove, has…read morerecently been rebranded under new ownership, now the place is owned by two sisters. The menu is fairly similar to before, featuring Asian street food, noodles, sandwiches, and other quick bites, but the overall presentation and atmosphere have improved significantly. The curb appeal is much better now; they added new umbrellas and refreshed the small outdoor seating area, so it no longer looks run-down. They accept online orders now, and they've also started running weekly specials on select dishes, which they post on their Instagram account. Overall, I've enjoyed most of the food I've tried. My absolute favorites are the teriyaki bowls (served with either rice or noodles), and my kids really love the spam musubi. There are some breakfast options as well, very reasonably priced. The shop also offers boba bubble drinks, while they offer classic flavor options like milk green tea and Thai tea, the quality of the boba pearls themselves still isn't quite there. All in all, it's a great, refreshed spot near the beach for a quick meal or snack! The sisters are doing a fantastic job.

This place is so aesthetic, and we had such a fun time at afternoon tea! It was $42 per person, and…read morewell worth it for the experience. We each got to order a pot of tea, so we decided to order 5 different ones to try out more flavors together. The ones we picked were: -Jasmine orange oolong - Coconut milk green tea - Earl grey lavender - Vanilla cream -Strawberry rose champagne oolong tea My top two favorites were the jasmine orange oolong and the coconut milk green tea. The only flavor that none of us enjoyed was the strawberry rose champagne oolong tea, so when it came time for refills, we switched it to the rouge provence. For the food, there were four finger sandwiches: chicken breast, smoked salmon, cucumbers, and chopped spinach. We all liked the chicken breast one the most, and felt like the cucumbers and chopped spinach could have been combined into one sandwich for a more balanced flavor. For sweets, there was the seasonal scone, fruit tart, macaron, and donut. I loved the scone with the butter and fruit preserves, as well as the fruit tart. The service was polite, but a bit slow and we waited a while before our food arrived. There was only one person who was serving the entire afternoon tea area, so it's understandable that there's a longer wait. All in all, I would definitely come back for another afternoon tea experience!
