I keep on returning back for their flan. This time, I tried their fruit napoleon and it definitely hit the spot. Their cookies are also super fresh for gifting to folks or hosting. The spot itself is spacious and the service is wonderful. I like that they have outdoor seating as well for summer nights. It's become a regular spot for us when we're craving a sweet treat!

But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.

This was another matcha shop that came up in our research as one of the top picks to try, so we…read moremade sure to swing by. Very small shop, almost no room to walk if someone else is coming out. They had two small tables inside that sat 2 people. You order off the kiosk and they make the drinks fairly quickly. It looks like they measure out the ounces so it's the same ratio every time. Even with this, I felt like there was so much milk compared to matcha. I also felt like the matcha itself wasn't very strong. Be careful when selecting your sizes - I usually just get the small/regular but my best friend is a matcha fanatic and she usually gets the large size. Nippon Cha really said LARGE because their size is a 32oz!!! So if you're not planning on drinking a quarter gallon, just get the regular!

The sesame cookie was delicious. I would definitely go back again if I'm in the area or try the other location in Manhattan.

The Awa Hojicha was more like a dessert rather than a drink and it was also served with a spoon. The foam was firm and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness while the hojicha flavor still came through. The kanten jelly added more texture with subtle tea flavor and was actually my favorite part. The Sparkling Yuzu Float was super refreshing, especially paired with the vanilla ice cream. It wasn't overly sweet, and the carbonation gave it a light, crisp finish that made it perfect for a hot summer day. I would happily return for these 2 drinks in the future.

This time, we took the F train to Carroll St, walked by a quiet residential area and some busier streets. We ordered and paid by the entrance, given a number and looked for seats. Tables for 4, and along the long counter in the front area; small counter for 3, and 2 round tables in the back, where the restroom also is. Got a reg scoop of Coffee bean- small scoop, with specks of coffee; and a Warm brownie sundae - small for the price of almost $17- 1 regular scoop of ice cream, flanked by brownie (was good, soft and warm), covered with fudge. Asked for whipped cream and cherry on the side. Missing the shaved chocolate. Atmosphere is not lively for a soda fountain but I loved the decor/old pharmacy items. Employees were just working, with straight-faces/no smiles.

We ordered the egg cream (as it was award winning according to their wall), the black and white milk shake and coffee. The black and white milk shake was definitely the best of what we ordered. It was fresh and had a homemade taste. The chocolate had a richness to it. I would definitely come back to try the other items on the menu like the sundae. The place itself has a rather old timey vibe to it, which makes it quaint. The service was fast and friendly. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend checking out Brooklyn Farmacy.

All you have to do is choose your main dish, and the meal comes with an assortment of salatim (small salads and dips) with unlimited refills! Depending on your choice of meat or eggplant, I think it's a pretty good value for the amount of food you get. The salatim spread was definitely one of the highlights of the meal. There were so many different flavors and textures to enjoy, and my personal favorites were the beets, squash, hummus, and celery root. We ordered the lamb and beef kebabs along with the dorade fish, and also added a side of fries. Honestly, it was way too much food for just the two of us! The portions were generous, especially with all the salads and unlimited refills. You definitely won't leave hungry! We were also lucky enough to get a window seat with a beautiful view, which made the experience even better. We arrived pretty late, around 10:30 PM, but never felt rushed. We were able to relax, enjoy our food, and take in the atmosphere. Overall, it was a great dining experience with delicious food, generous portions, and a lovely atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it, but come hungry! And if you're dining as a party of two, you might want to think twice before ordering extra sides!

I do think there is quite a hype, but I also haven't had anything I don't like here, so maybe the hype is actually justified.

It ended up getting the one with the spices in it and it did not disappoint. I also got the chocolate cake and it was perfect!

There is a small seating area outside, but mostly inside in the front and the back. There is a quaint bathroom that was pretty clean.

This is such a cute little ice cream shop and I like how they don't have a Brazilian flavors but the ones they do have are super different. I got black cherry cardamom in a waffle cone. It was absolutely delicious. So I guess if you have friends come from outside the city, you should add this to your list.

I was thinking to myself, could it be like Kulfi? Turns out yes! It's even better with the flavor assortment and consistency! They had fun combos like saffron pistacho, rose pistachio, mango and cream etc. we got the saffron pistacho and mango & cream split combo for $8.50 and hmmmm it was so good! Both flavors were distinct. I loved the mango one as it actually tasted like Indian mangoes and the pistacho one actually tasted like kulfi. The consistency is imo so much better than gelato. It's creamy and melts in your mouth. The ambiance is cosy, lots of people just hanging out like at a 3rd space. The attention to decor is really good, the walls and ceilings also have this classy look and feel. The service was great. They let me try 2 flavors, and my husband 1. You could also buy pints, if you'd like. Overall, 10/10 spot. Would 100% recommend!
