Our Top Pick
Melt n Dip
A dessert-only room that pairs warm waffles/crepes with ice-cream builds late into the night.
Notable Picks
#1
Melt n Dip
8.4
A late-hours dessert cafe built around warm-and-cold mashups: waffles and crepes alongside ice-cream-forward builds, designed for groups and after-dinner hangs. The move is committing to one base (waffle or crepe) and one cold element so texture stays crisp instead of turning into a syrupy pile.
Must-Try Dishes:
Waffle with ice cream, Crepe with ice cream, Chocolate-forward dessert build
What Makes it Special: A dessert-only room that pairs warm waffles/crepes with ice-cream builds late into the night.
#2
Thai O'Clock
8.1
A newer Sauganash dining-room option that goes beyond the usual greatest hits—familiar noodles and curries sit alongside more “special occasion” plates that feel built for lingering. It’s a better pick for a sit-down Thai night in the neighborhood, especially if you want to order across comfort classics and a couple of showier mains.
Must-Try Dishes:
Filet mignon with panang curry, Pad see ew, Yum pla duk foo (crispy catfish salad)
What Makes it Special: A neighborhood Thai spot mixing classics with higher-end mains.
