Met up with friends here after a campus thing. Got a burger and a beer. Honestly, the burger was fine, but for the price I was expecting a bit more on the plate. The area&#39;s vibe is chill though.

Love how you can build your own smoothie bowl here. The fresh toppings make it feel like a treat.

The ice cream class was a fun way to spend an afternoon. You get to make your own flavor and take home a whole gallon.

Stopped by for a cupcake on a whim. The red velvet was fresh, not too sweet. Good texture. It&rsquo;s the kind of simple treat you want with coffee. Price is okay for the area.

They fixed a last-minute cake mix-up right away, gave us a free one on the spot. The Marjolaine and chocolate mousse were both really good.

The cocktails are solid. They have a nice list of Italian classics. I tried the Aperol spritz and it was spot on. The mocktail I ordered for my friend was a bit sweet for my taste, but she loved it. Good for a pre-dinner drink.

The smoked salmon crepe was so fresh, you could taste the quality of the ingredients. Love that they make everything right in front of you.

The omakase was really nice. The waitress took her time explaining each piece, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy. The toro with gold leaf and caviar was definitely the highlight for me.

The broth is just right, and the meat is always tender. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The bubble waffle cone is the star here. It&#39;s crispy, slightly sweet, and holds the ice cream perfectly without getting soggy. The matcha flavor inside was solid, not too bitter. A fun texture combo.

Chengdu dumplings were so good, packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. The space itself is really nice&mdash;clean, modern, and comfortable to sit in for a while. A solid spot for Chinese food in the area.
