“Go to spot when I’m around and crave frozen yogurt. There’s a variety of boba drinks, smoothies, frozen yogurt, toppings, snacks, and more. Sometimes the menu is a bit overwhelming, but you’ll never get bored due to all the options they are able to provide.“

“This is my go-to place for boba. I enjoy their variety. I normally have the taro with Almond milk, strawberry popping Boba and lychee jelly. It brings back childhood memories of strawberry milk. I also like the pineapple tea and the lemon one. However, I'm caffeine sensitive so I try to avoid them late in the day so that I can sleep. The inside is clean. I have never ordered food from here so I can't speak to that. I like that they have a stand where you can put in your own order and add your own extras.“

“Excellent service and everything I am a client ?May it continue to grow.I was going through it for 4 years. And I never knew they sold crepes.Until they recommended me. The only detail is that there was something more striking outside so that customers can identify a sign. But otherwise, everything is excellent.“

“How do you spell “Enrapture”? “Lexie’s Frozen Custard” of course, offering a wide array of heart-stopping pleasures and confections. Charm and charisma? Delivered with each serving! Pictured: Beguiling owner Alexis LeCount and arresting assistant Sadie Sprenkle.“

“Finally tried this new spot on MLK Jr Way. The Thai Tea Brown Sugar Mochi was legit, and somehow the Cheddar Cheese Walnut Pralines actually worked. Owners know what they're doing - creative flavors that don't feel gimmicky. Berkeley needed this.“

“I recently visited Juice Breeze in El Sobrante, California and it’s easily one of the best spots in the Bay Area for fresh smoothies, açai bowls, and unique desserts. From the moment you walk in, the place feels inviting, clean, and full of options that are both refreshing and delicious.

We started with their lemon mint smoothie, which was light, fresh, and perfect for the California weather. The flavors were balanced and it really hit the spot. Next, we tried the mini pancakes with toppings like Biscoff, Nutella, and pistachio—absolutely amazing. Soft, fluffy, and loaded with flavor, they’re the kind of treat you’ll want to come back for again and again.

The highlight for me was the viral Dubai chocolate crepe rolls. They were beautifully layered, rich in flavor, and had that perfect texture that makes them stand out from anything else in the area. Definitely a dessert worth traveling for!

If you’re into something fruity and filling, their açai bowls are a must-try. They’re fresh, customizable, and work perfectly as a breakfast, snack, or even a light dinner option.

Overall, Juice Breeze offers a great mix of smoothies, desserts, and quick bites that make it a true hidden gem in El Sobrante. Whether you’re searching for a juice bar, dessert spot, or smoothie place near El Sobrante, this is the place to go. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!“

“There isn't a bad item you could order at Curbside. The fresh waffle cones really take me for a spin, they alone can be eaten and loved without anything extra! But fortunate for us, we also get tasty, rotating soft serve flavors to fill them with. Also, the variety of vegan ice creams is excellent for my wife. The ice cream sandwiches are awesome. Just such a great little walk up ice cream spot, a necessity when in the neighborhood for dinner.“

“Our first visit but absolutely not our last! What delicious flavors! Everyone loved their desserts, the toppings are incredible (vegan hot fudge, vegan caramel, toasted almonds,) and we all left full and happy! Definitely stop in when you’re in the neighborhood!“

“delicious ice cream and everything“

“I really enjoyed grabbing some ice cream here at Bad Walter's. I believe there is a rotating selection of flavors and the time I went, want too blown away by the options but I did walk away getting great service and a generous helping. I am eager to come back and give it another try. Great how convenient it is to Rockridge station!“

“The best gelato I’ve found with many unique and delicious flavors using fresh fruits and ingredients on a daily basis. I come in every time I am in Berkeley, because it’s head and shoulders above the gelato in the Sacramento area!“

“Not too sweet and great place to hang out!!!“

“This place was recommended to me by my sister, who loves Boba. Wow! Just WOW! It is my first time getting Boba here, and I like it compared to others. Their Boba is cook to perfection 👌.

I got strawberry macha with Boba, and it's absolutely the best strawberry macha out these. SO YUMMY. You can taste the freshness. Thank you.

This is one of those small businesses that we need to support.

Thanks 😊 for serving goodness 😍“

“Everytime I go there, the staff are always warm and welcoming. The prices are great as far as I'm concerned. They keep it very clean and tidy. It's never been too busy. And the atmosphere is perfect for a random after school treat worth the kids.“

“Vegan (& Gluten-free) flavors! I loved the pluot, the dark chocolate, and the walnut (that has no pieces of nuts in it, which is really helpful to those like me who can’t have much fiber). Additionally, I found all three flavors more refreshing than (sickeningly) heavy, and the flavors 🤩 🎇—like the grand finale of a fireworks show for the taste buds. I’ve only had about a spoonful of each so far but am in love 😍🤤😋. I didn’t go to the shop, someone brought me some, so I’m not able to give my opinion on the actual shop. From what I heard, though, it wasn’t as crazy as many ice cream places are on hot weekends! 😊“

“"a mini is small, a small is large, and a large is gigantic"“

“Wow, It’s been 20 years, since I stepped foot on to Fosters Freeze. This well respected fine dine in establishment, aged well like fine wine. Service is rapidly/ friendly. Food portions is enormous and prices are very reasonable. Any residents that live in West Contra Costa County towns. Come by and give this place a shot.“

“Amazing place! The speciality bowls and shoes are fabulous. Tasty and generous portions. The staff is really friendly and seems to be having fun. We went on a Wednesday night and the manager helped us with our order-really helpful and friendly!“

“Amazing waffle & flavour and lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend you check them out!!!!!“

“During a recent visit to Sausalito, I stopped by Lappert’s Ice Cream, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. There was a bit of a line, but it moved steadily—and the wait was well worth it.

I tried their Ube ice cream, and it was exceptional. The flavor was rich, authentic, and subtly sweet, with a creamy texture that made every bite satisfying. It’s clear they use high-quality ingredients and put care into their flavor profiles.“

“I go to this place all the time, they have such good drinks and even better mini pancakes that are so fluffy. They have so many options for their drinks and they’re always so good. The customer service is very friendly and really helpful when you don’t know what to try. Highly recommend trying them out!!“

“We were in the area, nice 👍 to be able to enjoy our yogurt plus close to coffee shop as well & lots of benches to relax👋🤙👋“

“this soft serve truck is so cute and serves the best soft serve by far, with housemade chocolate sauce that hardens to a nice crunch on the ice cream. the addition of salt on it makes the perfect balance. the red truck has such a personality and the folks who work it are always so fun to chat with. and it's local! they even have a teeny tiny cone for kids and the seal is hand painted :) the line can get long, but I promise it's worth it!“

“So Yummy! Also, the girls working there are very sweet and helpful. 🩷“

“I loved working with Elizabetta for my birthday cake. She was super easy to communicate with and perfectly nailed my barbie cake fantasy complete with a quote from the movie. The cake itself was a work of art but the taste, omg, all my friends were floored. I've also been able to find her slices at Falletti Foods and love all the flavors. I do, however, go crazy for her basque cheesecake. I could have a whole one in one sitting. So luscious, creamy and delicious!“

“I eat lunch here regularly and find the service to be consistently friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and tasty— I usually have one of their generous banh mi sandwiches. The atmosphere is warm and the other customers seem happy to be there. And it’s a great vantage point for watching the Solano Avenue street scene.“

“Very distinctive flavors made with fresh and organic ingredients!!!“

“Fantastic ice cream! We had the Kauai Pie, which is Kona Coffee, Chocolate Fudge, Macadamia Nuts and Chunks of coconut. Extremely yummy! A scoop as of June 2024 is $6, and it’s pretty large.

The sitting is by a busy road so not the most romantic.“

“Amazing! I tried chocolate flavor and it was sooooo good! It was super soft and melt immediately in my mouth. And it’s not super sweet that makes me to drink water after taking it. And I could feel the very light good smell of cinnamon as I eating it. Definitely going to be back again!“

“A quiet and family neighborhood with awesome collection of boutique shops and stores for the family!!“

“This is purely a review of their food - I'm not about to judge them on the space since they're kinda in a parking lot. I've had their food a few times, and I usually start on my meal about 5 mins after I got it from them. This is kind of a factor for burgers and fries...

...And they are excellent! Their burgers are solid, and very reasonably priced. I like Jack in the Box, but if I'm paying $8-10 on a nice burger from either place, Fosters Freeze is by far the better choice. Minimal grease or salt, doesn't make me want to run and grab a salad afterwards - yeah, these guys are legit!

As for fries, I'd rate them as pretty good overall, but you can't go wrong with their waffle fries - so good that I'm tempted to go back just to order only those!

If you think of them as a takeout spot and not a sit down restaurant, then they're definitely up there at the top. Thanks guys!“

“Stopped for breakfast one morning; what a delight! Tasty filling on a scrumptious bagel. The sight of all the donuts and pastries had us vowing to return. Which we did, scoring a box of various donuts and pastries and the biggest croissants I’ve ever seen. Definitely worth a return visit.“
