“The gelato I had was absolutely delicious! While it wasn't as creamy as Pitango's, I really enjoyed the variety of flavors they offered. I ordered a three-flavor cup and chose Black and White Cookie Batter, Dark Chocolate Fudge, and Dulce de Leche Chip. Each flavor was delightful! The restaurant was quite busy, which was a good sign considering its prime location near shopping stores and not far from Chinatown. There was plenty of seating available for customers to sit and savor their treats or coffee. Despite the crowd, the cashiers did an excellent job attending to everyone and even offered samples.“

“First time here and I loved it! The food brought me straight back to my Vietnamese childhood, real street food flavors like when I was young.

We ordered the hot & sour boneless claws, hot & sour crunch, rice paper salad, and saté rice paper, everything was flavorful, fresh, and so satisfying. The place is cute, clean, and cozy with a very welcoming vibe.

They even have a lucky spin, and I got 15% off my total order, which made the experience extra fun. On top of that, the cashier was a very friendly lady, which made the visit even better.

I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot if you love authentic Vietnamese street food.“

“They have so many flavor options, ice cream cakes and packaged ice cream available. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Baskin and I really enjoyed sampling some different flavors and admiring the beautiful ice cream cakes.

This store was extremely clean and well kept and I appreciate that they ensure that your ice cream isn’t contaminated with remnants from previous customers order.“

“The ice cream here is absolutely delicious! There was a little confusion at first about where to place the ice cream order since the staff was busy handling lots of to-go orders. Once I placed my order, though, everything went quickly and smoothly. Definitely worth stopping by for a sweet treat!“

“A friend and I had an excellent lunch at Hamrock's. We shared an appetizer of deviled eggs, which were the best I have ever had. We had the chicken salad, which was delicious, and limoncello cake-to die for. Oh yes, the popovers and small round rolls were also tasty. I would be happy to repeat the experience any time. Parking at the restaurant is a bit of a problem, but there is additional parking across the street.“

“First time here it was recommended to me by my Uber passenger Muhammad, so I came in and had their hot dog and onion rings the hot dog had great snacks onion rings for nice and crunchy with lots of flavor I do recommend the Freddy's fry sauce“

“The ice cream is good. The staff is so nice & patient with everyone they encounter. The vibe is fun with the music and the excitement of little kids & adults alike ordering their ice cream is so cute. It's exactly like your usual ice cream shop except they have wood spoons & bio degradable napkins. This is a favorite of mine. ❣️🍦🍨🍨“

“I had such a wonderful time at this coffee shop. Sarah was absolutely lovely and truly made my day, making the whole experience feel extra special. I got a shot of espresso, which was excellent and a matcha latte which had beautiful latte art.
You can really feel the heart that goes into this place, and Sarah is a big part of that. I’ll definitely be back.“

They immediately corrected it and re-delivered exactly what I ordered. Mistakes happen, but the way they handled it was top-notch ..excellent customer service!“
