    “My partner and I stopped by Crumbl for our first time and had a great experience! We got the S'mores and Chocolate Chip cookies plus a Diet Coke. The cookies were warm, perfectly chewy, and high quality. The store was really clean, and the cashier was friendly and super informative. It’s a bit pricey ($15 total including a $2 tip), but convenient when you’re craving a cookie.”

The owner responded with great kindness and kept the store open. Fruity Yogurt is also one of the only places open late in Princeton. The owner even offered us free frozen yogurt. She said to pour as much as we wanted after we had paid. So kind!! Also very funny and personable. She also told us that all of their flavors are natural, and you can tell from the color and taste! I highly recommend!”

    “We had 3 sets of 3 scoops. 3 different people with 3 very different tastes in ice cream. 9 different flavors. They were all wonderful and exciting. This is not your ordinary ice cream shop but please do not let that deter you from trying them out. Just expect to be a bit adventurous and go for it. They are a small batch artisan style shop with many unique flavors to try. We also grabbed 4 pints of other flavors to take home and try. The owner was awesome, explained all of the flavors and offered samples. The inside was very cute with a good amount of seating for an ice cream shop. Please go and try them out because this is the type of place that would be truly missed by anyone that has visited.”

New flavors every week, friendly staff, and you can try the overwhelming number of flavors before you buy. The parking is rough during the summer, but the location is beautiful if you sit outside. I'd park and walk a mile for this ice cream, though. They close during the winter months, leaving you longing for their ice cream for a third of the year. Get there now!”

    “What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure! Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!”

The pani puri was also super tasty with crispy puris and a perfect spicy-tangy pani. The paan was fresh and made for a nice finish. Special mention to Madhuram, the owner, for the warm hospitality and friendly service that made the visit even better. Tip: ask them to mix Pudina and Khata Meetha pani with a little black salt — it takes the taste to another level! Also, if you prefer better flavor, request room temperature pani instead of very cold :) Definitely a place worth visiting for authentic Indian desserts and street food!”

On the downside, I always forget how sweet their onion rings taste (but they tasted very fresh! It’s clear they keep up with changing out their fryer oil) And they forgot the cheese I requested added to my chicken sandwich. All in all, great location. I hope they keep up the good work. They helped create a simple happy memory for me and a friend.”
