Ari's Ice Cream Parlor & Cafe is a cozy cafe with a laidback atmosphere, featuring trailing plants and televisions in the background. The restaurant has been in business for five years, serving breakfast all day, including homemade ice cream. The menu offers a variety of dishes, with highlights like the breakfast plate with salmon croquettes, well-seasoned and flavorful. The potatoes are a standout, described as the best ever had from a restaurant. The cafe also serves a hearty plain stir-fry with huge portions, making it a favorite among the loyal neighborhood customer base. The owner is known for her exceptional service, consistently remembering customers' orders and providing a great experience.
The cafe values the “mom and pop” feel and is proud to be a locally owned black business. It serves high-quality food to the community at a good price. Many recommend the deluxe breakfast burrito, especially for meat lovers, which comes with turkey bacon and turkey sausage. The steak stir-fry is also popular and satisfying without being too heavy. Desserts and ice cream are perfect for those with a sweet tooth, and the turkey burger is a must-try. The cafe is family-friendly, with high chairs available, and has easy wheelchair accessibility from the parking lot to the door. Overall, the energy in the cafe is great, and there is something on the menu for everyone.
