Editorial Review for Herrell's Renaissance Cafe – by Jeremy Goodwin

In Short
Students mulling over homework sit alongside musicians getting caffeinated before a gig at this funky ice cream and coffee spot. In addition to the expected roster of sundaes, frozen yogurt and milk shakes, there are creative coffee concoctions like the Almond Joy latte. With dozens of restaurants and nightspots nearby, this is a relaxed place that's great for reading or playing around with magnetic poetry before or after the evening's main event.

so besides their awesome ice cream.. they have a variety of breakfast options. their pancakes are pretty good, especially the chocolate chip pancakes. there isn't a lot of seating, but the place is cute and inviting.

Okay, so their cookies and cream is the BEST... but I had an excellent turkey sandwich too (they do lunch now, yay!) and quality iced tea as well. Decent prices, fun atmosphere.

Pros: very yummy!, good value!, interesting place!
