“We've eaten here a few times so far the food has been tasty and hot! They did switch their menu up and no longer carry the mysore Masala dosa, and instead I tried the Korma, which was not too my liking because I had my heart set on Mysore. Otherwise still great food. Menu changes happen and you do not have to love all the things on the menu. :)“

From the warm welcome by my server, Raymond, the exceptional manager, Zhait Ponce and the entire waitstaff, made me feel like family from the moment I walked in. The salmon, potatoes, and unique drink Zhait made me were unforgettable. And the chocolate cake?! To die for! Parizade is now a favorite, and I’ll definitely be bringing more friends and family to experience it. Thank you, Zhait and the Parizade crew, for a perfect dining experience!“

“It's a good cheap place to get breakfast. The wait is long because it's a long standing breakfast spot, very popular. But when you get down to it, nothing here is really special other than their 20 year long history. But don't bother believing some of the inflated reviews. It's just okay.“

“I love this ice cream shop. It is quaint, has all of the standard options, plus a wide variety of specialty flavors. I am always a fan of peach. They also offer dairy free flavors, milkshakes and more. I keep going back for more.

Dietary restrictions: Several vegan options. I love this place for friends who have a dairy allergy or are lactose intolerant.

Parking: It can be difficult to find a close spot depending upon the day and time you go. Additionally, whether or not parking is free depends upon the time. Later in the evening is free while weekdays require payment.“

“Me and my friends were coming from the skate park we kinda look like ratty people but the server was so polite they went above and beyond and on top of that they even brought a free order of cut ham to me and my friends at the table honestly the hospitality and atmosphere made that night one that I don't see myself forgetting anytime soon they treated us so nicely“

“Loved the friendly atmosphere and dog friendly“

“We had a lovely meal in this restaurant. Beet salad and a delicious prawn cocktail with huge prawns to start. The pork with mushroom vol au vent was excellent as was the lamb loin with squash dauphinoise. The extensive wine list is excellent.“

“Juicekeys always fills my soul and leaves me feeling good. I love the blueberry bliss bowl. It’s actually filling too! And so fresh. They make all items to order so it takes about 5 minutes and you can taste the difference and the love! The bowls are my favorite - I love the crunch and how full and cared for I feel. I generally take my items to go but the space is so nice and peaceful. Every time I’m there, I wish I planed to stay longer.

Vegetarian options: So many veg and vegan choices.

Dietary restrictions: Can modify for your needs.“

“One of the better philly cheesesteak sandwiches I've ever had and when he said how much i was pleasantly surprised. the guys working there were awesome“

“I eat here every single time I’m in the area! The patacone sandwiches are phenomenal! And if you’ve never had Ecuadorian Horchata … you must try it! Forget everything you know about other horchatas - this one is a floral, citrusy tisane dream (best served hot imo). Service is always fast and friendly. Lots of seating. I only wish this was closer to home haha“
