| - Ohhhh.....man!
I was seriously sooo excited in regards to deviating from my (very healthy & delicious) pre-planned Paleo meals that I have (mostly) been sticking to these last couple of weeks while here in Cleveland.
Time for an overdue overdue treat, -psych!
Green chicken (very diluted/watery) curry, -which came HIGHLY recommended to me moments before ordering, a couple of shrimp spring rolls that were 80%+ iceberg lettuce (ughhh!) and of course my usual fave : although a good consistency, my taro slushie with Boba was light gray in color compared to the usual dark purplish gray color that pops with flavor, leave you wanting more, etc. etc. -but this one tasted sugar-free or something it shouldn't be. So unfortunate. :(
But I gotta give some credit here and say that the peanut sauce that came with the spring rolls was on hit and the winner of this meal all on it's own. And I did in fact take a couple of lil sips out of the tiny plastic container it came in all on and I must admit. Give me a pint, please! De-lish!!
So, excluding the peanut sauce, ALL three items lacked any kind of significant flavor and just left me disappointed. Had I dined in, I just may have had the nerve to send my items back. And I cringe as I say this and share this experience because who knows??... -Maybe I just had the unfortunate luck to order the three most bland items on their rather large menu. Oh yeah, and $32- later.
On another positive note (along with the p-nut sauce) I must give credit to the ambience/inside mostly purple decor, the mouth watering aromas coming from the fresh pastries & ground coffee beans, the great customer service and the location. And they even have little live music shindigs on the weekends, I believe.
I had such high hopes for their Thai cuisine.
On the flip side, Cravings Cafe offers an impressive and enticing wide array of coffee, coffee beans for purchase, chocolates, pastries, cookies and more and I'm thinking I couldn't have gone wrong had I gone that route with the java and sweets.
No such luck.
I'm still hungry with plenty of leftovers.
