After eating at pizzulu went here for some ice cream they are sister company so we went to try it also. We ordered 2 large sizes. Well we like the texture and love the pistachos and ferrero flavor.
The berry rose croissant, plate, utensils, and even the tray were so pretty but tha food was stale and dense. The Iced Tiramisu Latte saved the order though - loved the mascarpone! The cashier was slow and was too distracted as he tried to accommodate their supplier at the same time. It also took me 15 minutes to receive my order and it was not even a busy day.
Right off the bat, I was surprised by how good their ice creams are. The dark chocolate flavor was really good, with a little bit of crunchy peanut butter, and the vanilla flavor was better than typical vanilla. The ice creams were really nice and creamy. The price The price was reasonably okay, however, they include a five percent service charge for every order, something really obscure to me cause they’re not really a restaurant of some sort, and really, the only service they’re doing is scooping the ice cream and handling the item to you. Overall, it was an okay ice cream experience.
Hard pass on their croissant. It wasn't that flaky as a croissant should be. Maybe it's an old batch? Who knows. 🤷🏻♀️ I had better pistachio croissant on other places. Their cookie croissant was so sweet, it's like diabetes on a croissant form. But their gelato was good though.
Almond croissant was not fresh. Reheated but the bread was very stale. Service is good. Atmosphere was bad. A lot of the tables were not clean I'd enjoy as long as I'm not paying for it
