👍👍 We had dinner at A Thousand Tales. Food was amazing and delicious. Service was absolute best. Restaurant is new, clean and cute. It also has coffee house attached to it with amazing coffee options and desserts. Perfect place.

Retailer known for fine Swiss chocolate, truffles & confectionery since 1845.

👍 Had a coffee ice cream float, some ice cream and a chocolate marshmallows smore. It was delicious, especially for a hot sunny summer day.
