That being said, one would think we'd get "good" service - also not the case. Based on Yelp (and Google) reviews, we were served likely by the owner. I asked for two samples and this man was so cheap he barely nicked the ice cream with the corner of the square spoon and called it a "sample." In other words, the sample was so tiny it didn't even cover 1/4 of the small sample spoon. I wish I were making this up yall, I was mind blown. I ended up settling for a flavor I didn't ask to sample (chocolate cookie dough, I believe it was). It was just okay. Nothing to miss or write home about. When I asked for that flavor, he almost sounded disappointed I didn't get the dark chocolate flavor (one of the ice creams I asked to sample) saying that's one of their best sellers. Sir, if I would've been able to actually TASTE it, I may have very well chosen it. We were visiting town and let me just say that based on that poor experience, I won't ever consider going back nor would I be able to recommend it.

Still my favorite is the pound cake out of all the options we had. My daughter and I both really enjoyed the oatmeal cream pie the best! Close 2nd for her, prob the pineapple upside down cupcake. The fried Doughnut is a very dense cake-like. We'd rather go with the doughnut than the doughnut holes. Definitely recommend!! The employees were so kind with a smile (even with the line out the door for a good hour while we were there). We also got a $12 GF sandwich loaf- haven't tried that yet. Will most likely freeze it!!

My daughter recommended this place, and I'm so glad she did! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Ms. Jay, whose friendly smile and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. We ordered a hot Matcha Latte with milk ($5.00), a hot Chai Tea Latte ($4.75), and a hot Drip Coffee ($4.00). To satisfy our sweet tooth, we shared a delicious Pineapple Upside-Down Cupcake ($4.50) and a Honey Granola Almond Bar. The Matcha Latte was smooth, rich, and full of flavor. The Chai Tea Latte was absolutely delicious, and my drip coffee was fresh, hot, and just what I was hoping for. Everything we tried was wonderful. Since this cozy café is so close to home, I'll definitely be stopping by more often. If you're looking for a relaxing place to enjoy a great cup of coffee and a tasty pastry, I highly recommend Pinch of Salt Pastries & Coffee. I hope to see you there!

As we were supposedly burning off a few calories, wouldn't you know it--serendipity struck, and we stumbled upon Kilwins, an ice cream shop filled with homemade ice cream, fudge, chocolates, and enough sweet treats to make any diet wave the white flag. Apparently, finding the back door is becoming our trademark because, once again, that's how we made our grand entrance! We were warmly greeted by the lovely Ms. Azra, whose kind smile and friendly personality made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. After browsing all the tempting goodies for a few minutes, my eyes locked onto the ice cream display. Mercy! It was like finding a little slice of heaven on earth. There was no way I was leaving without the apple pie and butter pecan ice cream--served, of course, in a waffle cone with two scoops. Dern tootin', I wasn't about to settle for just one! My daughter chose the chocolate candy ice cream, and she was just as happy with her choice. Our grand total, including the tip, came to $19.36, and every penny was worth it. My ice cream was rich, creamy, and downright delicious. For a few glorious moments, I was in dessert paradise...then reality hit when I looked down and realized my waffle cone had mysteriously disappeared. Funny how that happens! Kilwins is an awesome place with great treats and even better customer service. And yes, just like the Terminator...I'll be back! Hope to see you there.

A small location just opened at The Sound (Coppell/Irving) and now will give you a reason to skip dessert after you eat dinner. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The Kilwins at The Sound is one of the smaller locations. You enter and walk through a small hallway wrapped in Kilwins pink, and once you emerge you are greeted with ice cream, fudge, chocolate, and caramel apples behind their glass displays. You can also see how they make some of their apples. It's really cool to watch. Everything that you would expect at a Kilwins is here. 1 Star. Service - Armed with ice cream scoops, the friendly staff are ready to take your order. They even provided me with some extra-large sample bites. Everyone was smiling and made us all feel very welcome. 1 Star. Food - Kilwins will give you the "kid in a candy store feeling" because they have so many sweet treats. Their known for their caramel apples and fudge, but on this visit, I had ice cream on my mind. After tasting a few flavors (toasted coconut next time), I went with a vanilla shake. Yes, very boring (vanilla), but the shake was creamy and smooth, and very easily fit in the car's cupholder. Next time I'll be a little more adventurous. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Kilwins has lots of pretty prepackaged sweets, so if you need a last-minute gift for a family member, this is your place. I'll be back to get a caramel apple or a peanut butter cup. Welcome to The Sound! 1 Star.

Not only are they still in business, but they're also better than ever. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Shin's Donuts looks like any other shopping strip donut shop. Good news is there is plenty of parking, and the interior has been updated with glass cases showcasing their baked goods. Take a peek through the door and you can see the busy kitchen. On busy weekend mornings expect a line. 1 Star. Service - This family-owned small business has been here as long as I've lived in Irving. The employees are kind, patient, and will ask you if you want your baked goods warmed up. Coffee is self-serve, but if you're not here for coffee. 1 Star. Food - Shin's Donuts is the epitome of the saying "Not all donut shops are the same". While the word Donut is in the title, my favorite item is the sausage roll. On my most recent visit, I ordered my roll wrapped in a croissant dough. The buttery roll is an upgrade from the original sausage roll. It was soft and warm (next time I'll put it in the toaster oven) and quickly disappeared once my kids discovered them. And while Shin's has plenty of donut types, I only need a glazed donut. Shin's glazed donut is soft, airy, and never dries out. It's perfect when I dunk it in black coffee. Bonus - the staff always gives me a bag of donut holes to go. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. While it took me 11 years to update my review. I've probably been back to Shin's over a dozen times. Not only have I been back, but I will also drive out of my way past a dozen other donut shops just to get to Shin's. 1 Star.

They also have the option to write a note of encouragement or inspiration to someone suffering from mental illness. I thought that was a sweet gesture and liked participating in that.
