They refused to provide a refund or replace the order with something else. The only English speaking lady claimed there was no manager in the building, and later claimed she was the manager. She claimed that if she gave my friend a refund, she would get fired, and resulted in police needing to be contacted. I order a taiyaki and it was burnt and overcooked. Had to wait +30 mins. Italian soda was also 90% ice. DO NOT COME HERE. Ambiance was meh.

Wish all food was presented at the same time, and that we got our drinks first. It was crazy how our drinks were the last to come out. The brown boba in the Oreo cheesecake tasted weird. And the texture was more in a gross jelly way than what I'm used to. Cheesecake Oreos flavor was a bit lacking in my opinion DRINKS ARE SUPER OVER PRICED FOR THE AMOUNT UR GETTING Workers were nice - no complaints Seating should be improved. Should have cushioning and better table and chair space. The bleacher set up and the crazy small stools and tables is not very comfortable, especially comfortable to look at.

Dolce Anna is a short ride from Springfield, IL, and certainly worth a trip if you love gelato (or…read moreif you've never tried it before). The hours are limited- currently opening at 5 pm Wednesday-Sunday. There will be a line at opening, and for the best selection, don't delay. When it's sold out for the night- it's sold out. The case holds 12 amazing flavors. We always buy a pint or 2 and it's become a weekly visit. Flavors change- we have a sampled Caramel Mou, Moccacino, Pistachio with Cervia Sea Salt, Limoncello, Cantaloupe, and a Cheesecake variety. My personal favorites are Moccacino (coffee and chocolate-yum!), and Limoncello (tart lemony and refreshing). My gelato partner loves the pistachio. I think it's a husband and wife team working and you will hear Italian spoken, as this is true Italian gelato. They are friendly and the small shop gets people through timely, although you can try samples, and that does slow up the line a bit. On a chilly Friday evening in spring there were about a dozen people in line at opening- and a recent Saturday night had nearly all flavors gone shortly after 8 pm. Follow them on Facebook (no website at this time) to see the latest offerings, which occasionally include actual cheesecakes and cannoli.

A diamond in the rough and a great place for delicious treats…read more We were visiting Lincoln's hometown of Springfield, Ill and wanted to get a snack. We found this place online. It is a little south of the city and west of the interstate but it is absolutely worth the detour. It is a rustic place called the Apple barn and parking is right in front. Their website gives a lot more information about it being more than just the main shop that is in the barn. They began as a family apple orchard and expanded over the years into a collection of attractions including two restaurants, a general store, a creamery, a winery, a candy factory, and a Christmas shop, all centered around the original barn built in 1910. We only visited the barn with the bakery goodies and the very friendly staff who helped us get some delicious snacks for the trip back to the hotel. It was great! Even if you don't plan to buy anything, it's worth taking some time to visit to get a snack for your trip or, if you are going to walk around the site, for the extra visit. We found it to be one of the more enjoyable stops to the area capping off a great visit to the Springfield, Ill area.

I highly recommend coffee here. I got a cortado and it was excellent. If you don't know your…read morecoffees well though, just know cortados are going to be much smaller volume in a bigger sized cup (unless the store specifically has smaller sized cups). My son was holding my coffee and was like, "Mom, they didn't give you a lot of coffee." I had to explain it was how the cortado was suppose to be made and I expected the cup not to be full. Anywho...it was excellent flavor, brewed correctly and the steamed milk did not over power the espresso itself. Very nice cup. Now, I do wish my brain had been functioned correctly because I came in to order bagels for some camp kiddos for breakfast the next day. I asked if they were house made or brought in. As soon as I was told they weren't house made I should have ended my order with the cortado. However, I wasn't thinking and was in a hurry to get back on the road. I ordered 5 bagels, 3 with cream cheese and 2 with butter. I expected to be charged some for cream cheese, but thought butter would be free. It isn't, they charge for it. I didn't know if there would be butter available at the camp the next morning so I just ordered it anyways. I think butter should always be free with bagels/bread/toast/etc. these bagels were like bagels I would buy at Walmart...but instead of paying like $2-$4 (great value or Thomas brands) for 6 bagels. I needed up paying about $4 a bagel! again, wasn't thinking or I would have canceled out the bagels. It wasn't until it would have been awkwardly too late to cancel them bagging them and asking for a refund that I realized how much I had just spent. Then when I saw the bagels, my gut just kind of dropped, cause they were not great quality bagels. But, kids had food the next morning and it wasn't the end of the world. Learned a lesson. They did cut the bagels in half which would have bothered me more if they weren't for kids but again would have been nice for them to ask first as we weren't eating them that day. However, despite the bagels, I'd still recommend trying them out, especially for coffee. They looked like they had some good bakery options, salads looked fresh and full of ingredients, and they had lots and lots on their menu!
