We don't make it up to Apple Valley very often, but when we do we love to stop at Pho Valley. Our old favorite Vietnamese place in Rochester got new ownership a while back, and with that came some changes in menu and recipes. PV reminds us of our old favorite.
After dinner tonight, we felt like a little something extra. I glanced over at this golden sign saying coffee and chocolates. Bingo.
Really cool place. We instantly grabbed a handful of some chocolates before checking out the coffee menu. I kept walking towards the back to check out another area of what looked like baked goods. As I came back my wife was handing me a sample of a Dubai milkshake. It was awesome! I have had a Dubai stuffed cookie before and was not impressed so I wondered what all the rage was about, this milkshake answered that question. Yum!
We then ordered our coffees and asked if we could pay for the chocolates at this register. We were then asked if it was our first time, it was, so the chocolates were on the house as a welcome treat. Huge!
Then, while we waited for our coffee the same guy came out with a plate and "ordered" us to sit and wait for the coffee.
What he gave us was Künefe. Now, even though I was pretty stuffed from PV, I'm pretty sure I still could have eaten a whole pan of this cheese. So good.
We then got our very, very good coffees and pounded the rest of the cheese and chocolate. The chocolates were very delicious and smooth.
As I sat, I just got this overwhelming feeling of satisfaction. It felt strange at first, but man, just so warm and relaxing.
Our trips to AV which always included PV will now, most certainly, include TGN.
If it wasn't for the hospitality, this place would be an A+, but if we have to add in the hospitality, then I guess it's an A++.
We're looking forward to trying lots of the other dishes and drinks. read more
