Mooghurt

Mooghurt draws crowds for its inventive frozen yogurt, friendly owners (including Mr Sherman), and warm ambiance packed with stuffed toys. The menu ranges from Italian-style froyo to chicken chop and pasta, with staff who take time to explain dishes and make guests feel welcome. Service reliability and wait times are the friction points. One visitor waited over an hour without warning; another received spoiled ice cream with no apology or refund. Parking gets tight during lunch hours. Most return happily, but the inconsistency matters to those caught on a bad day.

Just Say Cafe

4.5(395)✓ Google-verified

Most diners leave happy with the food and the friendly team. Many praise the Western dishes, the warm service, and the mood of the space. A few visits went wrong, though, with one guest finding the door shut despite the website listing open hours. The menu is mainly Western, with pasta, chicken chops, a cheesecake, and cocktails mentioned. Some say the choice is limited and leans toward pub food. Indoor seating is tight, but there is outdoor seating. Coffee gets mixed notes, with one mocha found sweet. Late afternoon can mean only cakes and drinks.
