👍👍 Had an amazing time at this cafe! The vibe is super chill, perfect for coffee lovers and foodies. Their latte is a knockout – talk about some serious latte art skills! And the food is just wow.

👍👍 We had the most wonderful experience. The owner, our host, and our waitress were all fantastic! We felt welcome and enjoyed our dinner with family so much more because of the fabulous service.

👍👍 I will start by saying do not be scared of the prices, your not getting smoothie king like products. Your paying for what genuinely seems fresh, healthy and beneficial along with the good customer service, option too order online and a reasonable wait time this place definitely tops in the smoothie...

👍👍 Our 1st time visit... burger, fries and wine were great. Owners and staff very friendly. Forgot to take pictures before we halved the burger. Second visit on 7/13 and again, great food. Had to get another burger and the chicken salad sandwich. Very happy to see a new wine list.

Foochie’s Southern Fried Wings(Food Trailer)
Restaurant
👍👍 I like the wings here. Tried the garlic parm and bbq. Really like the dry seasoning better. Fried crispy! Not sure what happened to the shrimp I got, it was really rubbery and dried out. Maybe it was just my order. Give them a try for the wings for sure! The lemon cake slice was also yum!

👍👍 A new Kabob spot popped up on my Instagram so I had to make my way over. I think I actually saw a video of their saffron wings first, that video hooked me. Solid flavor on the wings and the two sauces that came with compliments them pretty well. The chicken kabobs were probably the juiciest I've eve...

Amal’s Table - Halal Mediterranean and French Gourmet Cuisine
Mediterranean restaurant
👍👍 We used Amal’s Table catering services for a family outdoor event celebration May 2023. She went above and beyond with creating menu substitutions to accommodate food allergies (dairy, egg, and nuts). I have never worked with someone like Amal before, she put me at such ease. I knew she would take c...
