Nestled in between the galleries and boutiques at Gordon Square, Sweet Moses is a new treat bar. On a Saturday night after an opening at Wall Eye Gallery, the place was hopping. There was quite a wait in line and the place was packed with people until they closed.
The sundaes are nothing short of artful. I've got pictures as well as a link to their menu on my blog: http://whatsincleveland.blogspot.com/2011/05/sweet-moses-soda-fountain-and-treat.html
I'd call it pricey, but mostly worth it. Water came in glasses with crushed ice. Popcorn came for free to our table. It's romantic in an old-timey way.
I couldn't help thinking that most of the proceeds from my six dollar sundae went towards the seamless branding and marketing this place has.
This place would get more stars from me if:
- They had the structure to handle the high volume they're getting. The wait for a sundae is kind of ridiculous. But... they're new, so I have a feeling they couldn't have been expecting this kind of volume.
- The prices were a little better... but, once again, the seamless brand experience doesn't come cheap.
Things that made me happy:
- They accept Discover
- The pretzel and doily and popcorn
- The crushed ice in the water
