Arrowhead Coffee Company Ltd.

Coffee roasters

👍👍 First the bad. The digital scale with their logo that they drop ship is absolute garbage in every way, don't waste your money on it. Now that that unpleasantness is behind us, the good. The burr grinder they sell works as advertised, adjustable grind, all that stuff, though if you drink a lot of...

Fantasy Kitchen Co.

Fast food restaurant

👍👍 Unbelievably delicious food for very reasonable prices. Owner is a kind man hustling well. This new location should get business right now to give them a warm welcome to the neighborhood, and it is deserved as I was completely floored by the taste, quality, and price of this restaurant. (The samosas...

👍👍 I asked for it to go but she still told me to take a seat, i sit down and she brought a pitcher of water to my table and offered me a sample of ice cream while i waited.
