The quality of the food was quite high, but I have some critiques. I had the waffle with Nutella/syrup and ice cream. Firstly, nutella wasn’t featured on the menu, so I wish I saw that before ordering (granted I still like nutella, so I liked it). The richness from all that chocolate and the waffle is a lot, so the fruits and ice cream to kinda balance out that rich sweet flavor. That said, I think more ice cream to balance that richness is needed or lessen the nutella/syrup so that fresh fruit and ice cream and cut through all that richness.
As for service, this is where I have an issue. The Indian guy seems cool and honestly I do like his energy. That said, he talks a bit too much without letting the person in the dialogue. He talked about his brother in Indian Idol, which was cool. However, as soon as I was about to talk he just dips. I get that he has other customers to attend to, but he left without saying something like “give me on second” or “hold on a minute”. Whenever I tried engaging with conversation with him he would talk and then right before I would say anything he would just leave.
Another small critique (albeit, not really a big deal) I’d give is presenting food. I got my food first before my mom did instead of getting it together. Honestly, I don’t care too much as she got her dessert quickly after mine, so this doesn’t matter that much. In fact, I actually think it makes sense since he seemed to be the only one working at the front of the house, so I honestly don’t mind.
Overall, I would say the dishes were good, but need some tweaks to balance the richness of the dish. The guy serving seems fairly nice and hard working, but I do think he needs to let the guest in the conversation instead of being...

Read moreMango Mango is a great place for mango lovers, a ton of desserts made with mango as the main Ingridient.
My usual goto is the Mango mille crepe cake, it's moist and soft, and is something I would recommend to anyone going here for the first time. Lately it's been increasing price, I remember when it was only $7 and now it's at $10 but still worth it every once in awhile. With the higher price point it does make me want it to be a bigger slice but I digress.
This time I had the watermelon smoothie-o, it wasn't really sweet which is good if you don't like overly sweet desserts however I was hoping it was a bit more sweet as the watermelon taste was too light, almost felt as if I was drinking water more than watermelon at points. I would not get this drink again personally.
My only issue with this place is that they have drinks listed on their menu such as the avocado cheese foam tea drink that was not in stock. Originally I thought that it's bound to happen to menu items as people order them throughout the day. However upon asking the waiter, I was informed that the avocado cheese foam tea drink isn't just out of stock but discontinued altogether.
To me it doesn't make any sense to not update the menus at the point. I can see there is another review pointing out this flaw as well.
Overall very good dessert place for...
