Really loved the cinnamon sugar yum yum! My biggest turn off was the dough was really tough on the edges, so much my jaw was getting tired lol (even started aching). So I'm not sure what that is about. I also just came back from NOLA so comparing that dough to this dough, there's just something missing to give it that edge. Services was friendly and communicative, they let me know they needed time to get my order and how long the order would take. There were 2 parties ahead of me and it took 10 min. Also check their page/IG before you go, they update regularly, I had planned to go and right before I left I saw they posted they cancelled. So I'll def be back and I recommend you check out. perhaps it was just a one off, as long as the dough is not as tough as before, I'll keep coming back. 3 for 10$

I opted for the Ham and cheese croissant, and the sausage croissant. Both breading was fantastic. Good flavor, airy yet crispy, just really well made. I will definitely come back for the ham and cheese croissant. The sausage croissant wasn't really for me (the bread was) it truly is a big sausage in there. It had good flavor, just isn't for me. If they could make just a plain cheese or bacon and cheese that would hit the spot lol We also got their regular cinnamon roll. The breading had a lovely sweet cinnamon flavor and the icing on top had a delicious creamy taste without being overly sweet. The odd part for us was the filling in the inside. I couldn't decide if I cared for it or not, I was almost feeling it was pushing the sweetness over just a bit so l may or may not get that again. Even tho they have seating inside, it feels more like a grab and go. You can def enjoy your item there. But I wouldn't say a spot where you can sit and catch up with a Friend or read a book. It also felt a bit too warm and stuffy so cranking down the AC a bit would help it feel more inviting especially from coming outside from the Arizona heat.

AZ Chimney Cakes specializes in Kürtöskalács, a.k.a chimney cakes, an incredible dessert that originated in Hungary. I have Romanian roots and Kürtöskalács are quite popular in Romania. That's where I had my first chimney cake. Located in the same shopping center as a movie theater, a Japanese restaurant, and a bunch of other businesses, I parked without any issues in the free back lot and walked over. Ambiance (4/5): A cozy dessert shop. I felt right at home when I saw a map of Bucharest by the entrance. You order at the counter and then they bring your order out to you. We sat at a table close to the door. Service (5/5): Friendly service and we were fortunate enough to chat with the owner for quite a bit. We learned about the history of the dessert spot and how they're trying out some new ideas. Nice lady. Drinks (N/A): No drinks for me on this visit. Food (5/5): If you've never has a chimney cake, you're in for a treat. They're made to order and customizable. More so than anywhere I've ever seen. You choose your base, toppings, additions, and drizzles. I went with the traditional chimney cake with Biscoff cookies, vanilla ice cream, and Nutella drizzle. Outside of the dessert options, which are the way to go for first timers, if you're feeling adventurous, they also have one or two savory options. The chimney cakes are served warm and absolutely delicious. They're filling too so come with an appetite. It's one of those things everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. So cool to have them in Mesa!

Yesterday, the service was impeccable. The girl who greeted us was so incredibly friendly and helped us understand the menu. I ordered a kids vanilla custard with waffle bits and Oreo bits. It was the perfect blend of flavors and the perfect size. Today, the service was equally good. However, I ordered a small waffle cone with vanilla custard and the waffle cone absolutely ruined my experience. I didn't even get the chance to take a picture of it, because it immediately started leaking from almost every seam. The cone was so thin that it had holes all around it. I'm used to waffle cones maybe leaking from the bottom occasionally but have never had one leak from all sides. The waffle cone was also very salty. I am not a fan of that sweet and savory combo (like salted caramels or chocolate chip cookies with sea salt, for example) so that completely threw me off. If you like that kind of thing, maybe you would love this cone. I wish the person who took my order would have told me that the cones were salty or that they would have disclosed that on the menu. I've never tasted a waffle cone that was salty. I used the walk-up counter yesterday and the drive-through today. While you can't actually go inside this place, the parts of it that I could see looked clean and bright. There is ample parking right outside and seating as well.
