"The flavor of the pastries was amazing, my mom has a dairy allergy so finding a delicious dairy free treat is always a plus! The matcha was perfect, fantastic flavor and not too sweet. The coffee was delicious as well! Added pictures but couldn't resist digging in first. Will definitely be ordering again!"
"They taste like garbage. There is absolutely no cold foam and go look at Cupid's choice before you order it because there is supposed to be chocolate. There is none. And the celestial dream of that's what you want to call it doesn't taste like caramel AT ALL. Look at the top of my cup. It's ICE nor cold foam. I messaged the owner and she said it happened during transport and I'm far away. Sorry but I've ordered from further away and gotten much better. The dasher has his ac on. Don't waste your money on this rubbish."

"The mini half doz mini Popover MB were tasty and fresh. Buttermilk Pancakes (until 11am) were amazing with the berries baked into the batter. The Salmon and Egg Bagel came disassembled, with everything separated so that it wouldn't get weird during travel. I've also had the tomato bisque and it was perfect. I've never had an issue here :)"
"So good to see Popovers On The Square available on Doordash. Their menu provides a wonderful variety from the area's short order standard. The mini popover with honey butter is a wonderful treat. The fruit tart was a wonderful gift of fresh ripe fruit. These folks are terrific. "

"Pork Belly Benny is hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had!!"
"I'm not sure if this was a one-off incident or if this experience is a consistent one - as I've only ordered The Friendly Toast via DoorDash this one time - but everything about it was fantastic. The details all the way down to the packaging were thoughtful. The mint leaf on top of the Acai Parfait tasted so good with the dish, it was such a great touch that I really enjoyed. They make the corned beef hash so nicely here too. The Tiny French Toast was great as well!! I'm so appreciative of the care that went into this meal because I had a lovely, fresh breakfast. It was as if angels descended from the heavens and gently kissed my meal before I ate it and then returned to the magnificent splendor from which they came. Thank you, Friendly Toast, for sharing the splendor with me. I am simply chuffed."

"I understand the prices now. The Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese was great and they didn't skimp on anything. The crispy onions came in their own container which more restaurants on doordash need to consider doing with hot food that have crispy components. I'll get two meals out of it, but I'm probably gonna destroy the rest of it at 2am standing at the open fridge in my underwear."
"All items were as expected, as far as flavor and consistent quality of the food. I've ordered the Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese many times in person. One thing worth mentioning is when you order in the restaurant, you get 5 or 6 onion rings on top of the dish, more like a garnish than a side. this came with a smaller container of Onion Strings which was equivalent to half of a regular order of onion strings. I am definitely not complaining, however next time I order I'll skip the extra side of strings and get a dessert. The driver was on time and all containers were clearly labeled as gluten free."

"I was just recently put onto JP's Grill, which is approximately 10 miles away, but let me tell you.........they make the BEST Large Steak & Cheese Subs that I have had since moving to this area. I'm from NYC/New Jersey and I have had some of the BEST Cheesesteaks ever, including Downtown Philly. This is top-notch and definitely worth the extra fee for long distance. I ordered it for the 1st time yesterday afternoon for lunch and I enjoyed it so much that I ordered it again today (next day) for dinner. These guys definitely know what they're doing! From the soft and tasty sub roll to the seasoned and perfectly cooked Steak........they knock it down! Throw in the Grilled Peppers and Onions........Fuggedaboudit!! PERFECTION!! 5 STARS for sure!!
