“I'm a frequent flyer to this little ice cream shop! I've tried all 3 of their locations and I can say their small batch made in house ice cream is the creamiest and most delicious in Fresno! Every month they have rotating flavors which I always look forward to finding out! This month I got the flight with their march flavors- the macadamia nut cookie and honey matcha latte flavors were 11/10!! I also make sure I grab a new sticker every time I stop in!“

“My first time going there was today January 20, 2023. The baristas were very friendly. I had a cappuccino made with half and half which was decent. I asked the barista about different coffee selections and she recommended I try the Turkish coffee. I was happy to see they were dog friendly. I told her I would definitely be back and try the Turkish coffee.“

“Plant Slayer is my go-to spot for delicious comfort food! Besides being 100% plant-based (thank you), the food is phenomenal and so satisfying. You won't regret stopping here and devouring any of their menu items. I really like that breakfast is served all day and I love their new deli sandwich! Thank you for providing delicious, cruelty-free food here in Fresno!“

“This is a great coffee shop! Unique and nice atmosphere, and the drinks are always good. One of my favorite places to go to whenever I’m in the area. The workers are always friendly. If you’re hoping to get a seat, you may have to wait a bit at times, but otherwise I’ve had great experiences!“

“I love the outdoor patio seating. There is a huge fountain in the center of the patio, large plants all around, and it has a ‘Paris Cafe’ feel. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the food arrives quickly and hot. The food presentation looks like it came from a travel magazine. The food is reasonably priced, for the amount of food that you get. The food is delicious every time. Everything on the menu is delicious! I would highly recommend the Breakfast House. They make the best Belgian waffles in town and they use fresh strawberries, whipped cream and cinnamon sugar dust! The bacon is crispy and savory and the eggs are fluffy and rich. The crepe eggs Florentine were delicious as well! They also have a full bar, so you can enjoy a mimosa with your brunch!“

“The staff is AMAZING! They make you feel like family in the best way ♡ I LOOOVVE THE HORCHATA IT'S HOMEMADE ♡ Go with the Large you'll appreciate the extra size after trying ?The perfect spot for the best tacos and even better Menudo!! ? I've had it over 3 times specifically on rainy days and have not been disappointed at all. 10 out of 10 ✅️Vegetarian options: Yes they substitute the protein as well!“

“Love the ambiance, refreshing plus healthy food options offered here. We've been here a couple times specifically for the tower bowl and tropical smoothies. It's nice to hear my kids would rather come here than any other fast food. I'm sure it's for the food and also the fact that they have UNO,CONNECT FOUR and other games they enjoy playing. Great customer service and one of the nights we were there we met the owner, very kind fella ! We look forward to going back and trying new menu options ?“

“Welcome to a real life, Cheers! This place is a little hidden jem. Open, breezy, and clean, with a quiet luxury vibe. Bartender, Victoria was great, and she knew how to make a good drink. Sam, the owner, is friendly as heck. Carl, a regular, was welcoming and just wants to say Hi.Great atmosphere, great drinks, and yummy food.“

“Went for a post meeting lunch and drink. Unfortunately since they're near the high school they can't sell for in-store consumption before 5pm. However, the cold cuts sandwich and potato salad were delicious and filling enough that I probably couldn't fit a beer even if I wanted to. This spot is super cute, clean, and has very friendly staff. They also have a mini coffee shop inside, a free library (remember to bring a book to donate if you can!), select quality grocery items, and plenty of beer and wine for purchase. Their chairs are comfortable for longer stays and the bar has such a cozy and friendly vibe! I was only in town for a couple of days but if I'm back, this will become a must-have stop. There's also a record store and thrift shop nearby so you can walk off the filling subs!“

“The food is unbelievable! Fresh! Healthy! Tasty! Affordable! I would eat here every day if I could. The owners and staff are the stars of this place! You will get amazing service every time and they are so passionate about serving their community. If you haven't been to one of the two locations, you're missing out!“

“This place is amazing! All of the employees are nice helpful and always make sure the drinks are to your satisfaction. I had the nebula and it was nothing like anything I've tasted anywhere else, super unique. I appreciate everything being homemade and natural, you can tell in the bursting flavors that everywhere else fails to have. I have been tired of everything tasting the same and so glad there is a new shop that doing something different. So good definitely recommend!“

“The gentleman working today was so kind and helpful. I had a silly question and he answered it with a thorough answer. I got home and had to try a couple of the cookies I bought immediately. They were great. The customer service alone had me deciding I would be back but the taste of the cookies confirmed me returning. Thank you!“

“My managers and I absolutely love this place for breakfast and lunch. The greatest, friendliest, most organized and fastest service you will find. They have their operation down to a science. Every single person working here helps their co workers so you are always feeling taken care of. I love the crab cakes Benedict and the chicken wrap is my all time favorite. I am craving it now that I bring it up. It's a bit of a wait because it is always busy but the turn over is fluid so it's not too terribly long. We go on Fridays and we haven't waited longer than maybe 20 minutes and that isn't bad for one of the best spots in town. Tired to get some updates pictures of the menu but wasn't my best work. Will try to update it next visit.Parking: Sometimes you get lucky and find a spot right away, others you have to circle a few times and stalk someone walking to their car. ?. The street parking isn't bad either.“

“This place hits it out of the park for being good, clean, wholesome, plant-based food. I heard about Naomi's Raw Fresno through Chef AJ. I was visting a couple of days from Coos Bay, Oregon and knew I had to try this place. Was not disappointed!! Collard wraps, hale to the kale salad and cinnamon roll!!!! Thank you!“

“I asked some coworkers about where in Fresno can I find some good hotdogs other than Costco or Sams and he mentioned Brown Bear. Today we took a trip to see what all the hype was about, and Yes it’s as advertised. Filling and Tasty, comes with a drink/chips. Ordered the Kitchen Sink Hotdog(left) and my wife got the Nacho Hotdog(right). Come try them out, really good food.“

“Tap & Cellar, that hidden little gem, I just discovered since my employer had a work event there. This is such a cool fun place with such an amazing atmosphere and Vibe. I'll be looking at upcoming events to attend and look forward to returning real soon.“

“Great coffee, service and a free trip through memory lane! Perfect place for Cafesito and chisme. They’re lil pan dulce touch gives their coffee an absolute personality. They’re energy drinks are a great pick me up with great taste and no side effects!“

“Best Thai tea in fresno so many different options of tea boba and food to choose from and the employees are nice and get everything out fast even if they are packed the customers are main prioritiesKid-friendliness: There’s a game kids can play and have fun while“

“Gave this place a second chance and was shocked the chilaquiles "DELICIOUS " the green chile plate as well , the star of the show the cinnamon pancakes !! Delicious, savory and perfection with their cup of joe !! The service is on the dot !“

“This is the cutest little Cafe nestled into the Gazebo Gardens Nursery, it shares a wall with a gift shop, which is also the CUTEST gift shop. I ordered my classic vanilla iced latte with oatmilk, it was delicious. The latte was flavored nicely, not too sweet, and it was strong. I woke up extremely early that morning and needed a pick me up in the afternoon and this latte did just that. The service was very nice, seemed to be family owned ? Very kind and uplifting energy. I was there on Superbowl Sunday so it wasn't too busy, I imagine on normal Sunday's it probably gets really busy.“

“It's a cute place. I love the light hanging. It reminds me of balcony cafes in South Korea. Tried the Halo halo and ube latte. The halo halo taste like a cinnamon dulce drink. The ube latter was ok. I really like their flan because it's more dense and not so jiggly like most flan. It's almost like a cheese cake texture. The ube tres leche was good but a little too sweet for me.“

“I come here every week, it’s so good!Vegetarian options: As a vegetarian, I’m not limited to just one or two of the food items, which I’m always glad to see. Also their breakfast burrito is SO good, & thankfully vegetarian!Parking: Usually there’s parking super close byKid-friendliness: Safe, clean, comfortable environment for people of all ages“

“Terrific inventive food. Arguably the most imaginative menu in the greater Central Valley area. Unassuming, small bistro in an historic theater building…. You definitely don’t wanna judge this book by the cover. It is one of my favorites. And now they have a bakery too!“

“If you’re looking for great authentic Mexican food come check this place out. Food was delicious and their service was great everyone was really cheerful and nice. The atmosphere is nice and there is music great for a date night brunch and also breakfast!!“

“I have been coming here for years and have gone to multiple locations, including the ones out of town. The service is ALWAYS amazing, every single time. The owner is very sweet and they have a huge variety of different drinks. I love coming here after a run! 10/10 recommend!“

“They had great live music. The service was great. Everyone was very nice in here. I did not eat any food here but the beer and wine selection was also great. I really liked the art inside of the wine bar. I would recommend coming here for the live music. The place has limited seating.“

“Me and my fiancé discovered this place back in December while out and now it’s our favorite place. It is such a chill place to unwind or gather with friends. The bartenders are friendly and make you feel welcome. They have a great craft beer and wine selection. We actually had a party there last weekend with some close friends and we had such a great time! Big thank you to the owner and staff for letting us throw a party there. I highly recommend this place!“

“When we first got here at the door the guy basically racially profiled me cause I pulled out my Mexican passport which btw I got in Texas where I have lived for 2 decades and he asked me if I had a American passport or ID which I told him no I don’t not on me and that’s basically what I use at any bar or club I try to get into and then he notices it’s a passport which he was like oh okay you are fine and by the way he did not stamp my hand but he did stamp my fiancés and our uncles hands that kind of ruined my night to which is why I am giving a one star on service because that is just ridiculous if you are gonna be a bouncer/security please know what you are doing but other than that it was so amazing inside with all the stuff they had around they had a live band playing it was super packed because it was a Friday night I loved how the patio had the heaters outside cause it was a bit chilly don’t think I would be back because of that bouncer we literally just had one drink and left after that“

“This is a hole in the wall. Best sandwich in Fresno/clovis. Nice and simple. If u have a sensitive stomach, this tri tip sandwich won't cause issues. Just meat and bread no garbage. Real food. Lots of meat. Delicious house bbq on the side. Tender meat. Cooked thru. Evenly cooked. No complaints. Best sandwich. 10/10“

“I love the cucumber spicy Michelada here. It is so refreshing. The service here is great and they have a place to take pictures and Santa Claus showed up here with Mrs. claus it was so cute. The Ambiance indoors and outdoors was very clean.“

“First time going here and I have to say, I loved it!Staff is amazing! The venue is simple and very relaxed. Great beer selection to choose from along with seltzers as well. Loved the outdoor venue as well. I can't wait to go back for a live event with music. Definitely a hidden gem I never knew about until recently. If you have a group of friends and want to be able to hang out with plenty of room, this is a great place to do it!“

“The food was good. Went on a weekday around lunch and it was empty. The customer service felt a little off. Felt slightly rushed to order food, even though I'd never been there and was looking over the menu. At one point the cashier took a break outside, totally fine. But I guess no one was there to take her spot, so when we went in to ask for a box, it took a while before someone from the kitchen came out, confused as to where the cashier went, and there were other folks waiting to order. But, food was good and the outdoor seating is nice and covered. Will probably try again!“

“It has a good, easy location for tower district parking. Service was good. Food was a 3 stars, had fish & chips that were nothing past ok. Always very loud, but is always like that. Cocktails were 2 stars, my friend (& heard others) sending drinks back, margaritas full of salt ... new bartender?“

“ALL the rolls we ordered were delicious! kids said it was fire! Highly recommend. On top of that the service was great, staff were really friendly and that's rare nowadays. Found our new sushi spot! #foodie #sushi #delicious #greatservice #friendlystaff #newspot #highlyrecommend“

“Overall good. I've been coming herenot long after this place opened around January 2021. I do indeed like it very much. The customer's restroom (the other restroom is for employees only) has a broken handle. Has to be pulled hard in order to lock it. It's very important that this door handle be fixed because some people are getting their hands hurt from having to pull hard on this handle in order to lock it.“

“So if u happen to get some gas @ the Valero on the corner Olive & Marks inside is a hidden gem named Rico's Tacos y'all!!! The burritos are huge & appropriately priced. My favorite go to is their torta. Fire!!! If none of those interest you they have a good menu to choose from. It's all about the food here people. 4 starz“

“[Review #791]2023-078Food & Drink Order:LEMON POPPYSEED MUFFIN TOP, HAZELNUT TRUFFLE MOCHAI often drive by Bullard Ave. en route to my aunt's favorite Chinese restaurant or on occasion pick-up donuts in the same plaza as Dutch Bros Coffee. I don't coffee so I don't understand its long drive-thru line that rivals In & Out.My brother & I were out picking up lunch when I asked if he wanted a coffee because I remembered DBC's long line so it should be worthy for his discriminating tastes. He said he likes them, & they got their start about 30 years ago as a pushcart in OR. He typically orders flavored coffees because their coffee roasts aren't as strong as SB. When we rolled up, there was still a long line after lunch rush but thought they should be quick -- they're not. After putting in his order, I saw a $1 discount on muffins with a Yelp check-in, but the shift leader never heard of this. It wasn't until I got to the window, & the cashier had to double-check before granting the discount. I guess there aren't too many Yelpers who claim the discount?I can't comment on the coffee, but Barry says it was good. The muffin top was a decent size & relatively flat. I don't know about reproducing a muffin top as a standalone vs. an actual muffin & cutting off the "muffin top." It was a tasty lemon poppyseed with a nice hit of citrus, but can't call it a "muffin top" because it doesn't have the right texture.This Dutch Bros Coffee has a walk-up window & a drive-thru. No matter the time of day, as long as they're open there's at least 1/2 dz. cars in queue & often more during early mornings & lunch rush, even late in the evening. Service is friendly if a tad slow due to the long line; almost 30-mins. before we pulled up to the window. I'm not sure of the going rate for flavored coffees, but they're even more expensive than the standard bobas. DBC has other drinks besides coffee; I'll be back to try their lemonades & teas.Recommended: Lemon Poppyseed Muffin Top & Hazelnut Truffle Mocha.“

“So happy this place exists! Their prices are much more reasonable than other boba places I’ve tried. The menu selection and quality of beverages is amazing! I have tried a couple specialty fruit tea drinks and the half & half waffle corn dog (beef hot dog with mozzarella cheese) and wow everything has been so delicious. As someone who prefers fruity drinks and popping/crystal boba I’m so happy with their selection here. Service is also so friendly! The place is clean with cool cloud lighting & fun music which makes for a chill place to hang out & grab a snack“

“Nice little sandwich shop. Super nice employees. Had the cheesesteak sandwich. Not at all the taste I remembered from years ago.irhe meat was bland and I did not taste any cheese. Good price. Good portions. I will he back to try a different sandwich.“

“Amazing!! We tried the vegan quesabirria tacos, the vegan tamale and the mini cinnamon roll. 100/10 The spices were on point, the flavors were amazing and I didn't even miss the meat. Definitely coming back. Don't forget to grab some coffee as well.. perfectly made ice coffee.“

“We came to Lazy Dog tonight to celebrate my son’s 21st Birthday we had such a great experience! The staff was great, the manager came out and greeted us and made us feel welcomed, and the food was awesome! We will definitely be coming back!“
