“Visited today for the first time.
The place is nice and cozy, very clean.
Was greeted kindly & helped with menu options.
I tried the Platin sushi, which is fried, honestly it was very different than any other mexican sushi places I been to. The sushi instead of having rice it was wrapped in plantain. All the sushis we tired today were very tasty. Can't wait to visit again!“

They are super friendly, fast, and welcoming. It’s one of the best places I’ve taken my family in a long time. The kids loved it, and we’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!“

“I've been going to this store for water for a long time. Super clean and the owner and all of his employees are great. The reward program really helps with the savings. Great selection of thrifty ice cream also. And when I'm going hunting they have 20# blocks of ice that last a long time. This is the best store for water and ice I have ever been to. If you haven't gotten your water here, you are missing out.“

“It's a solid pizza joint. Good quality food and proportions at a very reasonable price. I come here whenever I need a pizza fix, or they give out a coupon on their app. The gelato is also part of their family business, and tastes good at that. I highly recommend Lil Capo!“

“We stumbled upon this place and right off the bat had they had a great friendly atmosphere. They greet you when you come in, explain the menu to you, encourage you to play their FREE arcade games or take picture with their life size DC/Marvel statues, and check on you throughout your meal. They also play DC/Marvel movies while you eat. Definitely worth a check out if you are in the area.“

10/28/24You know every time I come to the store it's welcoming it's it's amazing. Today I watch the owner put three 5 gallon jugs into a lady's vehicle for her. And then they started talking like they were old friends. And today he was explaining to me I'm what it takes to make purified water the amount of water it takes to me purified water. I drive miles out of my way to go to this water and ice store because of how friendly and how courteous and how kind they are. It reminds you of a convenience store from back in the '30s.... Need I say more“

Great impressions:
The owner is kind, humbled and very knowledgeable about his products and what his store has to offer. Extremely clean and organized inside out. Thumbs up from someone who managed 2 water stores from the Bay Area.“

“Todo de lo mas delicioso 🤤, Y Súper buen servicio ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“It's pretty good! A little expensive but that's pretty standard for boba. Everything was tasty I'd definitely go back. I made my own smoothie with horchata and brown sugar. We also had hazelnut crunch and cookies and cream gelato which were very tasty.“

“The cookies taste pretty good with a weekly rotating menu. The customer service at this location is pretty bad. The last 5 orders have been wrong. I did call and was offered a refund however the person I spoke to today (she didn't offer her name) said she was very overwhelmed and told me she was the only one working therefore couldn't answer any of my questions or concerns and hung up on me. Experience might be better in person, but I would NOT order from this location unless you didn't care what you ended up getting and don't want any actual customer service.“

“Great food with something for everyone. My first time having the mashed potato and gravy side—yummy comfort food!“

“I have been to this crumble location quite a few times, the first two times the customer service wasn’t great there was a long line and the kids working there were all having a conversation while we the customers waited over 15 min for help. I left on that day without ordering as the line wasn’t moving. Today there was no line and the kid that helped me was nice showed me the cookies and asked if they looked good. I bought 3 individual cookies and asked for a bag which I was told he didn’t have any. I remember seeing people with bags before but he refused to give me one. I didn’t appreciate it that. I wish they had better customer service as my teenage daughters always want to try the new flavors.“

“Two yogurts was $24.71 !!! wtf 😬. It was good . Did like the selection. Cashier had zero personality, keep going in the back. Appears she was by herself. Not sure why that is . Had to sit outside with our expensive yogurt as it was freezing inside. Probably will not go back as I can’t afford it 😬🥴“

“I love this spot because it’s chill and it’s never overly full for my toddler who can get easily overstimulated. The snacks are delicious and I love that they have water-based ice cream because she’s also lactose intolerant. The girls are always fast with service and attentive.

Vegetarian options: Fruits (pico de gallo) and water based ice cream“

“So many options and the creators are the best!!“

“Love this place my kids love it to that's all that matters� too many things to try“

“Dined in. Greeted warmly by all staff. I had a preference for my meal plan high they executed perfectly. This is my neighborhood Freddy’s and I have a great experience here 100% of the time.

Dietary restrictions: No salt. Which they did accommodate on the burger patty as well as the fries.“

“Ice ice baby! Great price on 25 pounds of ice $2.50 they have smaller bags but that's big one is best value compared to all the other places I've researched. On a fixed income you have to research everything that you know you will purchase over and over to get best deal AND best service. I like dealing with local businesses wherever possible. I have met several people that work there. All very laid back and friendly and...their ice cream is incredible. "Thrifty" I think is what the brand was...anyway they got automated water dispenser out front etc....I found my ice store.“

“Amazing cookies and customer service. We will be back soon❤“

“(Translated by Google) I always grab the raspado de guava with a lot of milkmaid or a little devil. They taste very good! And the girls are always very nice.(Original)Siempre agarro el raspado de guayaba con mucha lechera o un diablito. Tienen muy buen sabor! Y las muchachas siempre son muy agradables.“

“I hate to give less than five stars to anyone. However there's always room for improvement. The eggnog tres leches Had no flavor, Exchanged it for a cowboy cookie, Super sweet, but ok. I think the novelty has worn off. Minis are only available mondays and tuesdays, so calendar that. And after speaking with friends and family, we've all come to the conclusion the staff is always so miserable doesn't matter what store. I wonder why that is?“

“Culver's never disappoints, and this visit was no exception! The food was as delicious as always - fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. But what really made our day was the thoughtful service from a young girl in glasses who noticed our need for a high chair and brought one over for our daughter without us even asking. It's these small acts of kindness that turn a good meal into a great experience. If you're looking for quality food served with a side of heartwarming service, Culver's is your spot!“
