Editorial Review for Cricket's Creamery & Caffe – by Stuart Wade
The Scene
This homegrown deli-cum-coffeehouse and ice creamery perfectly complements the vintage shops and quirky vibe of 19th Street. Vivid yellow diner tables, bold red deco chairs and bright green walls add to the vibrant atmosphere.
The Food
Homemade vegetarian soups are knockouts, served daily with a choice of multigrain-five-seed or rosemary-sourdough bread and a topping of either shredded Parmesan cheese or sour cream. Mushroom-tomato-barley, split pea and vegetarian chili are popular. Cuvee Coffee's espresso blend forms the base for superb lattes and cappuccino drinks. The long list of beverages includes chai tea, frappes (mocha or vanilla base with a chocolate or caramel swirl, topped with whipped cream) and green tea smoothies. Cricket's offers six ice cream flavors and three daily varieties of inventive gelatos and sorbettos. The coconut and cappuccino gelatos and the raspberry and mango sorbettos are favorites. The restaurant also offers a host of fresh pastries from Whole Foods Bakehouse.

Cricket's is a wonderful and very kid-friendly place! I always have received a warm greeting from John, the owner, as well as the staff. The food is excellent, the price is good and I know that I'm supporting a local business when I'm there!
Pros: Everything!

Ice Cream and Gelato are delicious. Unfortunately, owner is rude and not sensitive to young ones. Hold themselves out as kid friendly, but a farce. Whimsical, fun atmosphere ruined by stifling attitude.
