I've lived in Edgewater for about 9 years and am just visiting this place for the first time. It's very cozy and unusual. Stopped by for desert after having dinner at another restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised by the menu-it's also BYOB which is a plus. We had the tiramisu and one of the brownies-both were great, service was great as well. Will definitely be back. read more

are you kidding me? stop lying to walk ins saying an "hour wait" then screw me over and now i cant go out to eat anywhere because its too late. JUST TELL PEOPLE RESERVATIONS ONLY. WILL NEVER RETURN read more

This place rocks! Cool cave like atmosphere with fun sweets! Loved it from the moment I stepped in there! Bring a date or best friend! Calling all chocolate lovers! read more

Loved this place! Beautiful romantic restaurant for a date night. Went on a Tuesday around 8. The place was dark with lovely music and amazing cave setting. Definitely try cave seating. read more

This place is a gem! The decor of this place reminds me of being at Tatooine from Star Wars. It's a desert cave-like setting with very cozy atmosphere. We always go for dessert menu. Their ice cream dishes are amazing. Go try everything at least once. The "Dharma" is my favorite! The best part of it is that you can bring your own alcohol to celebrate whatever. read more

came here for a date night saturday evening + awesome atmosphere! dim lighting was perfect for my honey and i on our romantic night. + byob + music was on point - menu and atmosphere didn't match. i was expecting more of an aphrodisiac type of menu but what i saw was basic burgers, pizza, salads, and quesadillas -honey ordered some bbq pizza which tasted alright, nothing to rave about -i ordered a quesadilla which was also just alright - waiter hardly came around and when he did was on his phone the whole time even while speaking with us -every waiter/waitress that walked by just looked at us but no one asked if we were enjoying our meal or anything of that sort -i gave the four stars for the atmosphere not the menu read more

Cozy little spot perfect for a date night. Make sure to ask for the cave tables in the back!! Personally I think this is perfect second stop or night cap for the night. The deserts are so good! Coffee, espresso etc is also amazing. Milk shakes, well..... pretty much everything is SO good. Also BYOB read more

Its a great place for date night. Food is great. I didn't give 5 stars because they don't make pizza anymore:(

Besides the ambiance, everything here was less than mediocre and extremely overpriced. Service was extremely slow. I was disappointed from the beginning starting with the appetizer, then expected more from the main meal but was again disappointed, then finally assumed the place to be a dessert place, went ahead to order a $15 dessert which was OK to say the most! I'm really upset I spent and wasted $80 at this place. The owners and staff need to go to other restaurants more often to see what food is supposed to taste like! I never leave bad reviews for restaurants, however I really feel like I needed to do my due diligence as a foodie to warn people! read more

Very cute place. The ambiance was great, very romantic. The food was mediocre but definitely would recommend for coffee and dessert. A nice, romantic date place read more

Great place, super cool decor, food is fresh and delicious. Service is usually good, but sometimes it can be a bit of a miss: forgetting drinks, mixing up orders, bringing items not in a timely order. but its all good, the delicious food makes up for it. not cheap.. read more

This is my absolute favorite place in the world for ice cream! Whenever I get the craving for it, I drive right down here and pick up one of their delicious flavors. My boyfriend and I decided to stop in last night and pick up some ice cream sundaes to go and the servers were more than helpful. We wanted to make a couple of changes to the order and change around the flavors and the server that took our order double checked everything we wanted on it or on the side. My boyfriend also wanted to show me the backyard, even though it was close. But the server still escorted us out there so I could take a quick peek, as strange of a request as it might have been. Love this place a lot. Still need to go back and try the actual entree menu though. But I will always recommend this place for dessert ! read more

Great food. Great service. Very unique place. My husband and I enjoyed the food and dessert and it's a very romantic place. We got lucky to get seats in the cave all the tables have their own private area have a wall in between. Good for a date night! read more

Tasty food, friendly staff & pleasant ambience. I would definitely go back to this place. Friendly service staff

This is probably my favorite coffee place in the town, cozy ambience, and they make amazing coffees. The server was friendly, I'll be back soon. read more

Always a great late night dessert spot especially on a date. The individual cave-like booths and candlelight add to the ambiance. Great for anybody with a sweet tooth! Everything is more than enough to share but who wants to do that?! read more

From the ambience to the service and especially the food selections, I'm sorry I didn't find it sooner. Ordered the Mediterranean platter and it is to DIE for! The hummus is absolutely divine along with the flatbread! It was sooo good I had to order an extra hummus! The dessert... boy oh boy... let me just say food orgasm! The forbidden brownie seduction is IT! From the smooth delectable taste of the ice cream to the gooey fudge brownie... I died and went to food porn heaven!! read more

My first time trying this beautiful cafe in Edgewater. The food / drinks / desserts and atmosphere was amazing! What made my experience even greater was the sweetest and most kind waitress Jade. She was truly a joy to have as a waitress. Definitely will be coming back!! read more

My waitress named Jade did an amazing job serving our desserts and drinks! Such a sweet girl, and I will definitely come back for Jades amazing customer service! read more

Came here for a dessert and a pot of tea. Spent around $25, not bad but also not the best. Super cool environment, decent dessert, and friendly staff. read more

Cute, romantic place to come to. I love this place mainly because of their atmosphere whether you're inside or outside always a good experience!! Their desserts is one of the major reasons I come here. All their desserts are great especially the brownie with vanilla ice cream. Their food is good not great but come here for a cute date and some good chocolaty dessert!! read more

I dumped my boyfriend here and it was perfect! We actually didn't have a big fight because the place was so nice lol we just enjoyed the decor and music and laughed about when things were good. The food was good, service was okay the guy at the front was rude but that's all places in this area the decor was sick! (In a good way) I didn't use the bathroom he was driving I didn't wanna come back and he was gone lmao read more

This was easily one of my best food experiences in quite a number of years. We started with the nachos which had so much cheese that half of the plate of nachos was lifted when we tried to pull one (cheesy heaven!!!). We got the Lava Chocolate hot drink which was wonderfully spicy in all the best ways, in addition to the Passion Peach drink which was so pleasant to taste. For mains, we ordered the Bleu Buffalo pizza and the Lahmajun. The flavor was just short of orgasmic and there was so much that we honestly couldn't finish it. The dessert was the signature sundae the "Oracle" - a mint chocolate chip delight with Oreos and hot fudge. Ugh such a good end!!! To tie it all together, our server Margo gave *flawless* service. She anticipated all of our needs and made the experience so much more magical. 15 thumbs up!!! read more

Great food. Meh service after 8pm. Teenager spot in the evenings. Live close by so I go often. Teas are amazing. Desserts even better. Feels like a theme restaurant at a theme park. I wish they had a sunday tea service. read more

This place has a great menu. BYOB is definitely a plus. The vibe is very sexy and mysterious, and the food is amazing. Extensive dessert menu. New food options create a really unique twist. The staff can be a little slow, but it definitely goes well with the mood of the place. Great place for friends to get together, first dates, and the type of place you want to go to when you want to have a night out without damaging your liver or wallet. read more

Something about this place makes the vibe very calm, intimate, cozy and interesting to enjoy a drink, eat and have a good conversation. I basically suggest going there after 10 P.M. just to avoid waiting for a long time since that is the only issue here if you want to be seated in the back cave area. You can typically get seated quick in the front, but the back is where the fun is at. The cave decor makes you feel like you warped somewhere into a far away igloo with cave stone carvings and without the frozen temperatures. The place is BYOB so make sure you stop at that winery before you get there unless you want basic non-alcoholic drinks. The desserts are mainly what i come here for, although the Mediterranean and hummus platters were good as well. They do have a nice selection of teas as well. Overall make an attempt to visit this place at least once. read more

Just about my favorite place to eat, even if I do end up getting the same thing. The only thing that would make the restaurant better is if they sold their own cocktails! I was originally taken here for a late dessert date by an ex but have found myself coming back with my parents and friends. The food is always spot on and the atmosphere is something really enjoy, even if it can be a bit dark sometimes... that's just part of the experience! read more

The people are amazing and super nice. Every single time I go there it's a great experience. Whether it's a romantic date with my boyfriend or if I'm just hanging out with a bunch of friends. I ordered a whole cheesecake for a special occasion and they came through big time. Po, who I believe is the manager handled my order and he was more than just a bit helpful. The managers, the employees, and everyone there are super professional. I love this place. The food is amazing, fresh, and of high quality. It's my favorite spot in Edgewater to eat, it's a must go. I love their milkshakes, their desserts are great, and I love their nachos. I can't say I have ever had a bad experience here, and everyone who works there is seriously great. read more

First time coming here. Quaint, quiet, and unique..awesome date night spot. Food is fresh and delicious...Dessert was amazing. Staff was professional and courteous. read more

This was our first time here and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences we've had. The ambiance is amazing and very unique. Super calming and inviting and all the employees were great. The service was amazing and our waitress Jade hands down was the sweetest and most helpful. She left us wanting for nothing and was literally the best! Will definitely be coming back here and recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth! read more

Everything about this place we tried was best! Hummus and Pita is a must have and they have awesome options on the dessert list and we tried about 4 them. Great experience ! read more

Really interesting concept and a really cool place that's BYOB AND has parking. Went for dessert and some wine at around 10pm on a weekday and there was just a ten minute wait for a table in the back (cave section of the restaurant) which seems a lot more of an intimate setting, and if possible, even darker than it is in the front of the restaurant. We both got some "forbidden brownie chocolate whatever" dessert and it was really really good. Actually it was also huge. We could have easily split one. We picked on that for a lil bit and chat over some wine but where never bothered to pay the check until near 1:30am. Totally got caught up in the candlelit cave feel there. Overall a really cool place to grab a brunch, lunch, or dessert. read more

I had nachos as a starter and chicken quesidalla, it wasnt all that great. The waitor was alright wasnt very attentive or helpful, probably wont come back read more

If you want a relaxing vibe with friends and some good quick food. This is the place. Must try everything!

This place is so fun an unique! My default pic is from there, good food ambiance and the ice cream is awesome. Nice place to go for dessert in the summer! The staff is friendly, it's not noisy and it's a cozy place just to relax. The movies is right across the street to so that's always a plus. This place has been around for years! And it's obvious why. Good job guys. read more

Very nice place for quiet dining. Get there early to be sure to get private cave seating without a wait. Servers are all very friendly. Love that it's a BYOB. I got the Cilantro Chicken Quesadilla which was very large. I only had one piece of it and had leftovers for days which reheated great. I wanted to save room for dessert. I had the Chocolate Raspberry Sin which was delicious!! Can't wait to go back. read more

Nachos were off the hook. Chicken quesadillas are on pita bread but they are good. We came here on a Sunday like 5:15pm and were seated immediately in one of their cool caves in the back. I wish they had hookah read more
