    “On 10/4/25 we placed an order for our 11 yr old daughter (30 minis) to take to school for her BETA Club. To make a long story short the employee working that night didn't want to bake the cookies and tried to cancel the online order. Manager got involved after we left the store and promised the cookies to us the same night. Sent a family member to pick the cookies up since we don't live near the store. Thinking the cookies were lovely like they usually are she didn't check them. They looked raggedy and I guess that employee didn't like being forced to do her job. Contacted the manager with a picture of the mess & was directed back to the store. New day, new staff. I was greeted by Josie & Oliver who proved to be amazing young adults. They handled the situation like true professionals. I went in feeling let down and unappreciated as a customer. When I left I was happy and smiling. Thank you to the manager, Josie & Oliver for making right what was once wrong. To the female who tried to steal my joy & break the spirit of an 11 yr. old, customer service is an art form and you do not possess the skills required. Customer service is for those who care and obviously you don't. Hopefully the next time we visit Crumbl you won't be there because you definitely can not help me with anything.”

    “We went to Baked Bear on Saturday, January 7th. When we got there, the line was out the door (it's delicious so I get it). As we get inside I realize this 1 girl is working alone. Her name was Natasha I believe. She was amazing. She welcomed each person when they came in, had a smile on her face the entire time, and made us all some delicious treats. This girl deserves a raise and a bonus! If I owned a business I would be trying to take her from you 😁. It very unusual to see this kind of work ethic these days, especially from someone so young. I hope the manager/owner reads this message and realizes the gem of an employee you have. Also, your cookies are delish!”

    “Dragon’s Breath is not just a dessert spot — it’s an experience. From the moment you walk up, you can tell the place is clean, well-designed, and inviting. The desserts are on another level — rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and presentation that actually makes you want to take a picture before you even dig in. I tried a couple of their shakes and chocolate desserts, and everything was perfectly balanced — not overly sweet, just right. Service was fast, friendly, and professional, even during busy hours. The staff clearly knows what they’re doing and keeps things running smoothly. If you’re anywhere nearby and craving something sweet, this place is 100% worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

Says she will roll her eyes if the kids are too slow ordering. I've only witnessed this once and yes, I do try to hurry the kids along to be courteous to the families behind us but hey, we've waited in line too and our guests are always new to this ice cream shop so hopefully the workers will try to be patient when little ones are their customers.”

    “I always have A great experience at Baskin Robins. This place is clean, comfortable, and the atmosphere is very nice. Their ice cream is very fresh and their utensils are sterilized very well (I observe everything). It’s sooooo hard to choose from the many flavors as I had tried most in the past but my favorite is the Old Fashion Butter Pecan. I get it as a two-scoop brownie sundae with caramel drizzled on my whipped cream with a few almonds (Thank Me Later). The staff is Always very polite and helpful especially Mr. Peter. He is Always working and he is very welcoming, patient, and kind with a helpful demeanor. He’s very knowledgeable about the ice creams and drinks and offers suggestions. Baskin Robins is a great place to go to when you’re craving sweets or simply want to hang out with friends because they have patio tables outside for large parties. This BR location also has a drive-thru as well. I go frequently, so make sure you go; I promise you won’t be disappointed! Mr. Peter will greet you with a Smile or his amazing staff!! I Highly Recommend!! Tierra~”
