“A group of us 4 ladies had so much fun at Parkside on 5th. We met Tim, the owner and he was delightful. The food and drinks were yummy and the atmosphere was perfect. I will be back. And oh, did I mention the candles? I bought several candles from Tim and they all smell delicious. I am a candle hoarder and these are the BEST. Thanks Tim for the cocktails and conversation!“

“Yesterday was my first time at Olexa’s and the experience was great. Our waitress was very helpful with her recommendations for a first-timer. She recommended the Smoked Turkey Sandwich with a side salad. It was delicious and came out quickly given there was a full house at lunchtime. We also had a slice of the quiche of the day which was delicious also. By the end of my meal, I was very full but of course, there’s always room for dessert. She raved about the cake and yes, I had a slice of the warm buttercream cake. It was so good. I’ve been raving about Olexa’s since yesterday and will return with family and friends.“

“Kay and her team at Iz did an AMAZING catering job at my wedding! Everyone complimented how good the food was and, most importantly, that the servers were so attentive! One guest commented that her glass never even reached half way before it was being refilled. That made me feel so glad I chose Iz. From the first time I spoke with Kay, I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and knew all the right questions to ask. Kay and Iz Catering are true professionals and will elevate your special event. I will definitely use Iz again for any catering needs.“

“Good vibes in the area … ☮️“

I stopped by TeaSpoon at The Summit and had a great experience! The Assam tea was smooth, rich, and full of flavor—exactly what I was hoping for. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the shop had a clean, modern vibe that made it a nice place to relax. Definitely worth a visit if you're a tea lover or just looking for a refreshing drink!

“This has become one of my favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and the staff is always so friendly. Even when busy this restaurant is always clean. I highly recommended this place.“

“Niasia kept her smile in place as they were swamped and had run out of hot dogs and pretzels. I watched as the other workers frowned . The lines were long and it wasn't very organized. This was yesterday 5.4.24 . It was a Saturday. I have never seen it this bad. I waited20 minutes for hot dogs and another 15 for a pretzel. The young worker did her best and kept smiling. That's why I notice her.“

“Stopped by this place because it was close to the BJCC while taking the Bar Exam.

I was pleasantly surprised how awesome this place is! I chose the sirloin burger with chips. I would have posted a photo, but I ate everything too quickly 🙂 so check this place out for yourself!

Fantastic service, delicious food and awesome location!!“

“Such a great place! Got some wonderful snacks and a blueberry muffin that was divine!! very friendly gal helped me out and told me all about the other things that they have in their refrigerators freezers and are able to serve and cater for people! highly reccommend!“

“Awesome addition to the Crestwood neighborhood!“

“The absolute best deli sandwiches in town! Family owned since the early 70’s and I’m pretty sure none of the recipes have changed!! Try the Rich man’s Poboy (you can thank me later)!!“

“Great food, service and people 😀“

“Oh man where do I start??! The taste of this coffee is divine. The baristas are quick and kind, easily able to become your next besties. This place has not just coffee, but also REAL chai and REAL matcha from REAL ethical and sustainable sources. Need a snack? They’ve got everything from full breakfast meals to snacks before lunch to lunchtime sandwiches. All of this and it’s conveniently located in the downtown region center see you can pop by before doing your banking business! There anything more convenient or helpful??? You’ve got to try this place out I know you’ll fall in love with it <3“

“CharlieSteel is absolutely incredible!
He went above and beyond to make my brother’s 20th birthday truly unforgettable. From start to finish, Charlie walked me through every detail with such care and accuracy. He was thorough, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. His support and insight played a huge role in making the celebration a success. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help bring it all together. Thank you, Charlie — you’re amazing!“

“Great food; quick, courteous service; reasonable pricing. My new favorite place for a "special breakfast."“

“The gentleman who served us couldn't have been nicer. The caramel matcha coffee and the strawberry milk teas we got were beautifully put together and tasted delicious. I highly recommend this little place in the food court of the outlet mall. 5 stars!“

“Neat place. Nice variety of popping boba and jellies. Their display fridge has some ethnic desserts, and after asking the cashier for recommendations, they suggested the "Rice pudding w/ black eyed peas" and it a sweet suprise. Normally, I'm put off food with beans in it, but this was pretty great.“

“My biological sister and I love Sherry’s! The food is always delicious and Sherry is a joy!“

“Panera Bread is a great place to grab a fresh and flavorful meal. I really appreciate that their menu is free of artificial colors, which makes me feel better about what I’m eating. My go-to is the Chicken Chipotle Avocado sandwich—it’s packed with flavor, the chicken is always tender, and the avocado adds the perfect creamy touch. Their commitment to quality ingredients really stands out, and it keeps me coming back. Whether for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner, Panera is a solid choice.“

“Food is good Fresh as well 10/10“

“Breakfast was great and prices nice .“

“Very friendly staff. 7am to 7pm“

“I bring my kids here about once a week for lunch and Carlos always waits on us. He is so wonderful! He’s very attentive, sweet and patient with my children, and truly provides incredible service! Not only is it the best meal my kids eat all week, but we always have a great time too!“

“Food is always hot and fresh!!!!“

“Had the California Cobb with chipotle chicken, and my wife had the same with grilled chicken. Requested spring mix instead of arugula (not a fan of the spicy bite), but our salads came out with arugula anyway. Looks like the staff missed the order notes and just saw “California Cobb.” When we brought it up, the team replaced our salads with no hesitation and delivered them to our table with sincere apologies. Great service recovery! That said, the corrected salads were noticeably smaller and seemed rushed—maybe frustration in the kitchen? Still, they tasted fantastic. My daughter’s brownie was absolutely decadent—melt-in-your-mouth good. Overall, a good experience and we’ll definitely eat here again. Would be 5 stars if the replacement salads had matched the care of the originals. Highly recommend.“

“The food is great and so is the service! We visit frequently to catch up with friends and clients.“

“Arrived appx 8:45a on a Sunday, no wait for a table and service was prompt. Coffee and breakfast came out quickly and was delicious! I had biscuits with chorizo gravy, roasted red peppers (not spicy) and fried eggs. Great job, Frothy Monkey!“

“Lovely bakery with a variety of different treats. I got the orange coconut roll and a batch of heat and serve cinnamon rolls. The orange roll had more of a buttery taste than orange and the cinnamon rolls could have used more cinnamon mixture between layers but they were still wonderful! There are no gluten-free options aside from macarons“

“A great place to meet friends for lunch and also a great place to get some work done on your computer“
