This has become my favorite ice cream spot in the area. The options are great, the rolled ice cream is delicious, the drinks whether milkshakes, milk tea, boba it's all good. And the people working there are super nice.

Such a good experience. My toddler loved seeing the ice cream get rolled. And it was big enough for 3 people to share. Great customer service and atmosphere.

Overall Rating: 5.3/10 This quaint venue offers a cozy atmosphere where customers can watch their rolled ice cream being made, adding a transparent and engaging touch to the dining experience. However, some aspects of service and product execution require improvement. Atmosphere: 5.9/10 The small setup contributes to a cozy, intimate feeling that makes the ice cream making process a focal point of the visit. Watching the creation of each order adds a unique, interactive element to the experience, enhancing the overall environment. Service: 5.1/10 Staff were courteous and communicative, especially during busy periods, ensuring customers were aware of delays. This proactive communication helped manage expectations, though the clarity of the walk-in menu could be enhanced to better represent their offerings, aligning it more closely with the clearer website. Food: Mango Rolled Ice Cream: 5.5/10 While the ice cream was fundamentally good, its presentation lacked thematic cohesion. Toppings like Oreos and Pocky sticks did not complement the mango flavor, detracting from the overall appeal. A focus on toppings that resonate with mango's cultural or flavor profiles would potentially elevate this dish. Taiyaki: 5.3/10 Made on the spot, the Taiyaki offered various fillings that provided diverse tastes, though the execution was not without flaws. The custard filling was notably bland and contributed to the sogginess of the waffle, which could benefit from a richer or more flavorful custard to improve both taste and texture. Boba Milk Tea: 4.4/10 The Thai Milk Tea suffered from an imbalance, being too heavy on the tea flavor and packed with excessive ice, which impeded enjoyment of the boba. These were often stuck under the ice, leading to waste. Enhancing the size of the drink or better balancing the ice content could improve both value and consumption experience.

Amazing ice cream shop! Great ice cream roll recipes, beautiful espresso drinks. Everything is made from scratch. Ice cream is made from cream mixed with real fruit and berries in front of you. Amazing attention to detail! Matcha for the Matcha ice cream rolls is made with matcha tea whisked with a bamboo whisk! Will definitely come again!

Very nice and calming environment. It is great for relaxing with friends or for working on your own. The music is very relaxing and not distracting at all. The ambience is very cheerful. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The summer refreshers are very delicious. They are not overly sweet. The soft serve ice cream is also very creamy and they offer unlimited toppings! Will come back for the rolled ice cream and Taiyaki.

Everything was perfect! We had the mango and smores rolled ice cream. Both were delicious and well made. My favorite is the smores! The taiyaki is very tasty and full of fillings. We tried every flavor, the custard and nutella are my favs!!! The dark chocolate milk tea is very good as well. 10/10 recommend!!

Absolutely love this place! Came for the first time today and the woman there (not sure if she was an owner) was incredibly nice! The Taiyaki were delicious! Fluffy waffle dough and the fillings were not too sweet. Delicious drinks, she even gave all of us a free sample cup of ice cream which was smooth and creamy! We will definitely be coming back! 💖

Excellent hot chocolate and chai latte. They definitely take pride in their products. Ham and cheese taiyaki was absolutely delicious. Come and try it!

Delicious! Super nice staff, redid our fish (even though it was great in our opinion) just because of his dedication to quality. Highly recommend.
