Our server, Jake, was the absolute best. We want him as our server every time we go now, bc we will definitely be back. Thanks everyone at Giuseppe’s Cafe for making our daughter’s birthday one to remember. 🩷🩷🎉🎉“

“Great food and atmosphere ! And the Ashley Mac Burger (only served on Friday and Saturday) is well worth the wait !“

“Last two times we went in the host was extremely rude to us. The second time we walked out because there is really no need for the attitude. Have always enjoyed the food there but won’t be back until someone else is seating people politely.“

“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.“

“The nicest owners and super patient when customizing orders for drinks. Great hours, location, and wonderful to have in the community.“

“Fantastic cocktail bar! We had delicious drinks and food! The salt and vinegar chickpeas were fantastic! So was the Bahn Mi! We are visiting from out of town and the owner was so kind to tell us about the area and some entertaining stories about his life! He told us the history of the building as well! 10/10 recommend this place or cool vibes, unique cocktail, and delicious food!“

“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.“

“This is such a cool eclectic cafe and the food is out of this world good! My husband and I love coming here! We have been twice and love it so much! Highly recommend!!!“

“My favorite place to eat for a meat and two. Fresh veggies, meats and more. Consistent quality and service.?“

“🧋 Great bubble tea. I recommend the Liquid Gold, came with smooth honey oolong tea with cream. My friend got the Flamingo, didn’t taste great - not recommended. The watermelon and passionfruit combo sounded promising but didn’t deliver.

💸 Atmosphere is great and the staff are very friendly. Yet prices are on the high side, especially since each topping adds quite a bit.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My favorite is the Mocha iced coffee, it gives me lots of energy to continue with my day!Also their workout group is fun and a great way to help me stay on track with my exercise!Also Their mega teas are great picker uppers in the middle of the day!!

Kid-friendliness: I was with my little girls and they loved their shakes! Wild berry and banana caramel are their favorites!“

“Great Place to eat“

“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.“

“Longtime family favorite! Ashley Mac's has been a part of our family meals for so long and is so well loved that my oldest son has asked if I'm going to send the poppyseed chicken with him when I send him meals and care packages for college! He's only in 10th grade, but he's already thinking about how he can make sure he doesn't miss out on poppyseed chicken night!“

“Good vibes in the area … ☮️“

“Food was good, but everything was cold. Really like the place the staff is excellent. Wish they would concentrate on making sure that the food arrives hot.“

“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)!!“

“Awesome addition to the Crestwood neighborhood!“

“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!“

“Super good coffee at reasonable prices with ultra friendly staff!! The building looks like you're about to walk into a bank accidentally but if you believe in yourself and keep walking then you'll make it to the coffee shop and it's a really nice spot to chill and hang out!“

“Food is good Fresh as well 10/10“

“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!“

“Breakfast was great and prices nice .“

“Easy access on a corner, this small café is a hidden gem brimming with Southern hospitality. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like family, greeting us with warm smiles and genuine kindness. The food was just as memorable—homestyle classics cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and rich flavors that reminded me of a southern, home-cooked meal. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast or an affordable lunch, this charming spot is the perfect place to relax and savor great food in a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Great food, service and people 😀“

“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!“

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

“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.“
