We are local and have been very excited to try this place. My husband and I brought our girls here on Sunday after the Thanksgiving holiday. As we walked in the young lady was on her phone and looked very displeased that she had customers. As we looked over what was available she never once said anything remotely helpful or kind. Never greeted us. Never once asked if we needed any kind of help. I’m not sure she knows how to smile. My husband was incredibly nice and tried small talk with her a couple times. It was crickets from her. She was clearly irritated we were there. We definitely felt like we were a burden to her. The donuts were amazing and so were the gelatos. The raspberry sorbet was a favorite. Honestly if it was not for the very unfriendly and unwelcoming environment, this review would be 5 across the board because the food was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend this place if you don’t go on a Sunday...

Tripped upon this delightful establishment on my way back to the bay area from Tahoe. I stop in this strip mall all the time to get a soda, or treat, from McDonalds. No more! This place it tucked away and easy to miss. We got lattes which were perfect and indulged in two donuts (lemon blueberry glazed and butter/salted glazed). Lemon blueberry definitely carried through the taste on the lemon. The salted butter was good, but not much of that slight salted taste. I bought a box of chocolates for a friend and they are ABSOLUTELY stunning. You almost don't want to eat them they're so pretty. I got one coconut macaroon and that was the only item I wasn't 100% on. It was a little too sweet for my taste and didn't seem very fresh, but it could just be me. This is my new 'go to' stop when I do the Tahoe drive AND I'll be trying out the gelato...
