What a fun time. Live music and great dessert. The brookie was delicious. There was a ganache in the middle and a caramel drizzle. Get it warmed up. So good! We also enjoyed the mint Gelato. Great pieces of shaved good quality chocolate as well as bigger chunks. The mint was a great flavor, no toothpaste here. The Gelato was light and delectable.

SUBLIMELY TASTY OFFERINGS THAT REALLY HIT MY G-SPOT
Loooved it! The nondescript storefront and unfortunate location not so much. But if you know where to look, you'll find this little gem. You will if you know what's good.
A heads up: If you're wanting treats like donuts, sweet rolls, fudge, pie, cake, or any number of common homemade-type dessert items you may be a little disappointed. Exactly three smallish display cases house the entirety of their sugary selections, which include—during out visit, at least—soft cookies, chocolate brownies, fruity delicacies and more than a dozen flavors of gelato. Virtually all are top drawer when it comes to quality; you won't be disappointed with the flavor, or much of anything else.
These are the kinds of fancy treats you buy by the dozen when you're expecting company from out of town that you want to impress. They also offer meal-based food items served hot, and we hope to sample some on our next visit. But at the end of the day, we fully expect that the sweets, as the title of the business would indicate, will be what brings us back to this cozy little spot again.
One quibble: Things like gelato, while tasty enough in their own right, are mostly pretentious additions, I find. So exotic! So sophisticated! So...kinda lame.
Biscotti, tiramisu and other hoity-toity Euro-delicacies all have their fan base here in the north state as much as they do anywhere else, sure, but one should never lose sight of one salient fact: this is after all the United States Of freakin'-A-merica; that kind of cutesy foreigner tripe don't fly among We The People. You can have your fancy Asian puddings and poofy French sugar pillows, or whatever; we'll take our snicker-damn-doodles over that sissy stuff any day, just as God intended, and we'll like it just fine, thank you very much!
With that in mind, there's nothing quite like good old fashioned ice cream, in point of fact, and they'd be well advised to make the switch—to the high end stuff, I mean, the kind made in small batches, served in bowls, not cones—no toppings, no gummies, no greasy kid stuff—just pure, top shelf ice cream—truly “old fashioned” and not just in name only, the type of quality dairy product that makes Haagen-Dazs look like goats milk popsicles in comparison. You don't see enough of that in towns like this anymore, but wouldn't it be nice. That's just me.
All in all a winning experience. And the cute, personable young ladies on staff are the bees knees. A+

Great meal and desserts

I wasn't ready for ramen this good! ? Every ingredient in the Half and Half was delicious and the service was equally great. Will be back!

Love their new location and finally got to try their Ramen. So I won't lie, it is handsdown the best Ramen on town. Make sure you check them out if you're looking for a stellar bowl of noodles!

Don't pass this place by! A local firefighter recommended this place to us since we are visiting. The pork miso ramen was delicious as were the dumpling appetizer and the gelato and cupcake for dessert. Service was great and our server gave us some recommendations for stops on our road trip. We will stop in again if we are in the area

The food is delicious, they had live music as well while grabbing lunch on a Saturday.
The restaurant is balanced with just about everything, gelato ice cream, beer, ramen, cup cakes, salads, Mac and cheese, pulled bbq pork sliders, wine. All of it looks great. I had the ramen and they advertised the broth was cooked for 16 hours, it tastes like it. It has a nice deep rich flavor. They have four spice levels. 0,1,2 and three. Spend the extra money and get the extra add ones with the ramen. Great place.

Just stopped by a bit ago and picked up a rice bowl with grilled chicken. I'm extremely happy with it! The rice is nice (wish it was a little bit stickier... but it's still good), plenty of veggies & a lot of grilled chicken. The garlic sauce is tasty. For $10 I'm very happy with the amount of food I got. From order till time I walked out the door was probably around 7 minutes so it was nice and quick as well.

Surprising how one person's attitude can affect your perception of the entire restaurant. I'm disappointed to say the least.
