An interesting list. I'm sure there's some establishments on this roster that shouldn't be on there. And I'm sure there are some establishments, globally that should have been on the list.

Not sure how they determined those shops, but who knows?

It appears some reviews are now vetted as compendium or composites with Google AI reviews.
This can work for you but it can also work against you if you have too many mixed reviews, with let's say Google stating for example " some people have commented about the quality of this whereas other people have said this" or some people have commented about the quality of the beverages and other people that been said to say that they're not as good as they should be"

Reviews do matter, but they really have to be custom tailored to a response in a sincere and genuine response to a client's concern or inversely addressing a positive comment.

I was reading standard template responses from one operation that I had been partnered with from a while back and they're all scripted it's like a copy and pasted type ordeal not even being pertinent to the concerns at hand. That shows at least to me that an operation really doesn't care about its guests, a business doesn't care about what other people have got to say about let's say cleanliness or customer service the price of food or for that matter the quality of food.

I've also seen reviews where the proprietor is basically trying to bribe the client into patch fixing a matter after the fact, to an offer of deference and subjugation. The customer is not always right 100% of the time but usually they are.

You should aspire for a standard of customer service that exceeds 100%, that should be your objective if for whatever reason you can't level up to that you shouldn't probably even be in business in other words you're running your operation compromising the integrity of your business by short-changing your guests with let's say the quality of ingredients being sub standard.

In addition I've seen proprietors very personably almost two personably ( at the level of unprofessionalism) comment on in response to let's say some type of a positive comment.Accept it for what it is and respond to it professionally, that's my take, don't start using jargon or short order terminology that can discredit you as a person or your business operation.

Brand new!

I have never done these before, but they really came out very nicely. London Fog Macarons.
The flavor profile is built around creating a "mash' we Earl Grey steeped in a light honey sugar syrup overnight, a splash of vanilla and a touch of orange oil. Rather lovely to be honest.

Yea, okay they take 2 days to be able to make.
Why would you want to learn how to make your own croissants with me?
A) there's not too many good bakeries in the area that know how to make them and you want to make a better quality product.

B) the sights The sounds the smells of freshly baked croissants coming right out of the oven on a Sunday morning, fancy that?

You want a boyfriend/hubby girlfriend/ wifey fun activity to be able to do at the house, together.

You're running a practice dry run for a spot on a cooking show...LOL

Whatever the reason is the aromas of these Little Gems coming out of the oven is rather intoxicating,
Check it out yourself.
