Folks who are looking to satisfy their sweet tooth can score a cupcake, pastries and all of the above until midnight every night. While they utilize the natural lighting during the daytime, the evening is drowned out by this florescent lighting that makes me less interested in dining in. There is plenty of seating but just as awkward as the lighting is also the lukewarm service. It was like a late trip to the office, where the lighting was still on and not-so-theolled colleagues there to greet us. Thankfully their dessert selection is always on point. Their endless variety of cupcakes range from red velvet to biscoff and their custom cakes are impressive as well. True to their name, the "layered" sundaes are a perfect "dessert in a cup" option. Nutella and lotus are popular ones but the galaxy is the one to get. I've been told the brownies and donuts are also good, but I will reserve that for my next (late night) visit.

From the taste, you can tell the ingredients were sourced for quality and purpose. Does not taste like typical chain coffee at all. Way more depth here. The seating area is well put together.

We placed our order at the register and grabbed one of the open tables. We got the Chai Tea and an order of Khaliat Alnahl ($8). The chai was really good, not too sweet and had a nice strong flavor. We were able to get about six cups out of the teapot. The Khaliat Alnahl, which is one of their popular pastries, was also really good. It wasn't overly sweet, which I liked. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend this place if you're looking to end the night with some tea and dessert. They have coffee as well, which I'll have to try the next time I stop by. * Street parking * Can be a bit loud * Gender neutral restroom

They treat you like family from beginning to end. Their foods are constantly fresh. One is never expired and everything.Smells like it came from the oven piping hot, ready for service. The prices are very reasonable, doesn't have to break the bank, but enough to have a nice light lunch or a sweet snack on the go. Highly recommended.If you just pass a by four a quick coffee, and some cookies or a nice fluffy ham and cheese sandwich without overstuffing yourself. Definitely.

Gold N Honey was the winner of my last stop destination and the final recommended visit of Jando S. I'd never had Loukoumades before, but they are essentially large donut holes. There are many different types of toppings you can add, most of which are quite appealing, but I went with the Gold N Cream, which had chocolate, bavarian cream and biscotti. Upon my first bite, I assumed I would only be able to eat a few of my box because of the aforementioned crazy eating before coming here. But as I kept going, I realized, somehow, these little delights were nowhere near as heavy and filling as they looked. And by the end of it, I suffered zero stomach-based consequences from my actions. This can only mean that loukoumades are extremely healthy and amazing for you. They're practically grilled chicken! The cold brew was fine - it got the job done and saved me from an epic food coma. And I got to try a new dessert, so everyone won on this day.

This is actually cheesecake rather than the lighter Japanese version, with a strong black sesame flavor. Hojicha creme brulee: this came as part of a promotion, and the taste is strong. They do brulee the top on the spot and my sugar top got a little too burnt. Oolong tea cheesecake: still good, would get this again still. Lighter flavor but the floral flavor does come out at the end of a bite. Coconut milk jelly: the lightest of the flavor but still sweet and flavorful enough to come through. There's a dusting of graham crackers and strawberry jelly to complement. We also got a hot matcha jasmine latte but it was actually cold. It seems like it normally comes iced and perhaps they have no way of warming up the jasmine part. There's a points program and tons of promotions that rotate. There have also been different desserts that rotate so I'll have to keep coming back to try more. They have a lunch special too where you can get a drink or dessert for less cost.

My husband said next time, we should ask for the crepe to be a bit "well done" otherwise, it's a little bit too "doughy."
