“My FAV”

“10/10 in flavor!!! These little pies are AMAZING. I've tried multiple varieties, but IMO the best one is the shepherd's pie.”

“Always love Gambino's, and the Auburn location was a nice treat after a long work day in the area. Thanks for a great meal and we appreciate your hospitality! Will definitely come back when we are in town again.”

“If you haven't tried it you are missing out! I am so addicted to their fruit bowls! They are amazing!! Extremely friendly, clean and relaxing environment! Must try!”

“I walked into Circle Coffee for the first time ( all bright eyed and not decaffeinated, and I totally forgot to ask for my coffee decaf ( or what my sister calls sad coffee). By the time I realized, they’d already made my coffee and I was walking out the door— but instead of giving me the “well that’s on you” look, they smiled, told me to gift the original to a coworker ( who now thinks I’m the nicest person alive) and made me a fresh decaf for free. Heroes are baristas apparently. The shop itself is a whole vibe — calm, great lighting and welcoming atmosphere—enough ambiance to trick me into thinking I’m the kind of person who journals daily or could write a novel. Also, do NOT sleep on the strawberry goat cheese danish. It’s seriously delicious. I took one bite and considered writing it into my will. Life changing and I’m probably emotionally attached to it now. This place has great vibes, great people, and even better coffee and pastries. Highly recommend.”

“This is hands down the best place in Topeka. Not just because the food is AMAZING but the people that own it are absolutely incredible. My mom and I get takeout every month when she comes to visit and they always recognize our order, are the sweetest most kind people and the food is outstanding. Would recommend Jongs to everyone!”

“I love this restaurant. Great Indian food. Tikka Massala is my favorite.”

“Crumbl Cookies has rapidly distinguished itself within the modern dessert industry by transforming a simple comfort food into an elevated culinary experience. Founded on the principle of combining innovation with nostalgia, the company has developed a reputation for delivering high-quality cookies that appeal to a broad demographic of consumers. What makes Crumbl particularly notable is not only the quality of its products, but also the strategic creativity behind its rotating weekly menu. By introducing new flavors alongside classic staples, the brand creates anticipation and excitement that encourages repeat visits and sustained customer engagement. This approach reflects a sophisticated understanding of consumer behavior and demonstrates how culinary entrepreneurship can successfully merge tradition with contemporary marketing.
One of Crumbl’s greatest strengths lies in the craftsmanship of its cookies. Each product is intentionally designed to provide a rich sensory experience through texture, flavor balance, and presentation. The cookies are often served warm, enhancing both aroma and taste while reinforcing the comforting familiarity associated with homemade desserts. At the same time, many flavors incorporate inventive ingredients and combinations inspired by cakes, candies, breakfast foods, and seasonal treats. This fusion of classic baking techniques with modern flavor experimentation allows Crumbl to remain culturally relevant while still preserving the emotional appeal of traditional desserts. The visual presentation of the cookies also contributes significantly to the brand’s identity, as the oversized portions and carefully decorated toppings create an experience that feels premium and celebratory.
Beyond the product itself, Crumbl has excelled in creating a strong and recognizable brand culture. The company’s minimalist pink packaging and polished store aesthetic contribute to an atmosphere that feels modern, welcoming, and memorable. Additionally, Crumbl’s use of digital media has played a substantial role in its success. Through visually engaging social media content and weekly flavor announcements, the brand has cultivated a highly interactive relationship with consumers. This strategy transforms the act of purchasing cookies into a recurring event and fosters a sense of community among customers who eagerly anticipate each new release. Such branding demonstrates the increasing importance of experiential marketing within the food industry, where customer loyalty is often driven as much by emotional connection as by product quality.
In a broader context, Crumbl represents the evolution of dessert culture in the twenty-first century. The company has successfully elevated a traditionally simple baked good into a highly marketable and socially shared experience without sacrificing accessibility or enjoyment. Its emphasis on innovation, presentation, and customer engagement illustrates how modern food businesses can thrive by blending culinary creativity with strategic branding. As a result, Crumbl has become more than a cookie shop; it stands as a compelling example of how contemporary businesses can redefine familiar products through quality, originality, and carefully cultivated consumer experiences.”

“This evening was my and my husband's first time eating here, we came with three of our friends. I appreciated the sign on the door stating that they were working short and waiting times might be longer. Despite this, we waited no longer for our food than what I consider to be normal on a Saturday night. The food was cooked so well, very good flavors, and presented very nicely. The prices are very fair for the amount you get. The service was warm and not overdone, the perfect amount of checking in and asking if things were going well. We have all decided that we will be craving more and coming back soon!”

“We love the food at Indian Bistro, the spices are spot on and each dish is unique and delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is well run and clean. My kids love it too!”

“Are at the flying monkey tavern at the pennant. Have the chips and queso and a double bacon me crazy burger. Was a really good burger fries were crispy. The chips and queso was excellent as well. The whole menu looked great and was hard to choose what to get for my meal.”

“I graduated from school with LaVale Jackson and have since seen he has succeeded in owning his own restaurant called 7.8.5 Kitchen but had never made it over there to try the food until today...I have been craving some soul food and went today and was very satisfied with it! 5/5 stars ⭐️ for sure! My pregnant self got all my extra sides to take to work tonight and ate my fried catfish, cornbread, and greens while I was at the restaurant!😍 It was delicious and nice to see some good soul food in Topeka, thanks LaVale!”

“Their decorations for holidays are so fun! Great atmosphere and great food!”

“Skylar is the best! Go Skylar!”

“Coffee is the best I’ve had in town. Hazelnut latte was so good. Breakfast bowl was really good too. Glad I tried this today! Pickup was fast and easy.”

“This restaurant is a step back in time to real homemade cooking and more normal sized portions at a very reasonable price especially when you consider the quality and from scratch cooking. The staff are super, the food is outstanding, and everything is top drawer. We try to get here at least twice a month. We have tried numerous items on the menu and every single item has been fabulous. Highly recommended. The pictures are a pork tenderloin sandwich with veg beef soup and a pork loin dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans with a bun.”

“A few weeks ago, we had Ta Co cater our son's wedding. Everything was amazing! The food was delicious! They came in and set-up as we requested buffet style, an abundance of fresh and delicious food! The guests kept telling us how much they loved the food! And Andy is great to work with, we will continue to support this place.”

“Best donuts in Topeka Kansas”

“Great food, coffee, and service!”

“Wonderful service, fantastic food, generous portion sizes. Best biscuits I’ve had in Kansas (I’m from the south) and almost requested another batch to take home. It felt like an insult to not finish all my food! But like I said, the portion sizes are VERY generous, especially for the price. The servers/hostess are so so kind! I so impressed by the customer service.”

“I've tried several dishes in here and so far everything AND the service has been great.”

“My wife and I recently enjoyed a delightful date night at Tuptim Thai. Even though I'm what one might call a "dirt poor dad" and my wallet is on a perpetual diet, my wife’s new financial independence turned the evening into a celebration. The food was so amazing that each bite felt like a gourmet hug for our tastebuds, and the service—always delivered with a warm smile—ensured that our water glasses were never empty (a luxury my bank account rarely affords!). If you’re in Topeka and looking for a place that serves up not just incredible dishes but also a hearty dose of charm and humor, Tuptim Thai is the spot to be. Highly recommended!😋”
