Stephen BarrosFebruary 22, 2011Most of the desserts are HUGE! Sharing with a friend or date will still leave you satisfied.
Kara CarrollJuly 5, 2013BIGGEST. LETDOWN. EVEEEEEERRR! Frozen Hot Chocolate was watered down chocolate milk!!
The Corcoran GroupDecember 14, 2010Brave the lines and try the Frozen Hot Chocolate. It’s to die for.
Milind ShahJune 13, 2010So everyone I think agrees about the frozen hot chockate but in addition to that the black out cake is amazing as well....

David Treviño IIIFebruary 25, 2012Be patient. Try to be seated on the second floor. Bring camera. Enjoy!
- NabeelJanuary 11, 2012Come here for dessert only. Huge portions. Late night usually has the shortest lines.
Jamie MacLeanJune 4, 2011$8.50 minimum charge per person! Be warned if your thinking of just sharing a quick sundae with your sweetie!
Trudster MAugust 20, 2011If you don't have a reservation and would like lunch get there by 11:15 line forms quickly.
Jordan T.November 10, 2012The frozen hot chocolate is over rated. Go with the broadway Sundae. It's where it's at.
Yoly R.S.January 27, 2011Omg!!!!! You cannot come here and NOT TRY THE FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE!!!!! Yummmm...i wish there was a Serendipity3 in LA!!!!
Angela ShoffnerJuly 21, 2014Overrated! The frozen hot chocolate is just a chocolate mix with ice crystals in it topped with whipped creme. No raves deserved here. Save yourself the 1-3 hour wait and get a Wendy's Frosty instead.
Lily AdamsOctober 20, 2011There's a minimum order per person so you have to get your own iced hot chocolate!
Argh. Make sure to get a table near the front and away from large tables... Full of screaming Tweens
Greg BarilaMay 8, 2017Overpriced and overrated. Give it a miss. The frozen espresso was ok but way too big and has too much cream on top. Blergh.
Keri Langkowsky GonzalezDecember 11, 2011The chili is amazing!!! but the burger brought my son to tears
Andrew SmithAugust 15, 2011Rainy day, Monday at 11:20, waited 10 minutes in line for it to open then sat a party of six with no reservations.

Joe SkeyMarch 16, 2011If you're an ice cream lover, then you will want to opt for a sundae over the frozen hot chocolate...it was like a chocolate icee.
KNovember 27, 2010Best known for the frozen hot chocolate but their other desserts are also amazing!
