The maroon bear and the purple cow are hands down the best Hong-Kong style waffles my family and I have ever had! Loveliest group of staff just makes the experience *chefs kiss* that much better. Recommending for AZ's best Desert 2021

Excited to try this place from all the reviews. When we got there, they wouldn't let us sit inside which is fine, no biggy. We picked the only table outside but there was bird droppings on it. We asked if they could clean it and they refused. Told us we could sit around the broken fountain. Well, we could also go somewhere else.

They would not let me and my family inside without masks. Had no issues with that but when I asked them to clean one of their outside tables so we can sit down they refused and told me to sit at the fountain. Sorry but there are many other places I'd rather take my business to. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Spend your money elsewhere.

Came upon this place by accident and what a pleasant surprise it was! Very fun environment inside and the food is pretty good. The waffles are to die for and the ice cream is pretty good. Have returned a couple times since going and they produce a consistent product.

Still requiring a mask even though the CDC says it's optional at this point and no other restaurant requires it. We tried to get dessert after dinner and were turned away for no masks. Wish I could have tried this place. We ended up trying a different ice cream place 212 ice cream studio. It was excellent!

Were not happy with the staff. They are stuck in covid mode and are ignoring CDC guidance that masks are not required. I wont be back

This place is AWESOME! Super tasty treats and I like the simple menu. Anime playing in the background. The service was really upbeat and friendly. Just good vibes all around. 10/10 will come back again. Seating is a drawback because they still don't have indoor seating and minimal outdoor available. BUT! Don't let that deter you. We just drove across the street and enjoyed our treats under the shady parking structure at the mall. Everything was SO good. Also bring a mask. I'm posting this Mid-June and they ask that you wear one.

Delicious! We really enjoyed this treat one evening while we were in town from out of state. You can't beat ice cream wrapped in a soft, freshly made waffle. So yummy!!

Amazing! The waffles are incredibly good and also HUGE so come hungry! The White Tiger is my favorite but I don't think you can go wrong. If you want something a little bit less rich then my second favorite is the Purple Crow. Good vibes and good food, great place.

I was around the area and was craving for some dessert. I had the purple cow. I wasn't too impressed. $8 per cone was pretty pricey. I expected this to taste very good for what I'm paying. Looks can be deceiving. I love the presentation. However, everything tasted plain to me. I love ube which is taro. The waffle of purple cow was ube. I think that's the only thing I enjoyed about this dessert. Also came with two pocky sticks and a small cubed shaped like flan with vanilla ice cream topped with coconut and condensed milk.. Everything that was in this dessert sounded so delish. But I was disappointed on how everything tasted . Not worth $8. Time to go hunt for better desserts..

Good for an occasional treat as it's a bit expensive for one person ($8-9 per waffle). It was very filling and would be good to share, but is hard to share in the way it's arranged for take out. I tried the green serpent (matcha). The waffle texture was good, I got the matcha flavor and would like to try others. The strawberries used were very fresh and sweet. The vanilla ice cream was OK, it wasn't very creamy so that is one area I feel could use an upgrade. I would come back during a non-COVID time to experience the full cafe as it seems like a quiet hangout spot.

We came across this little shop thanks to Yelp. There's no inside seating due to covid, but there is an outside table and some outside seating. Very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. We tried the Purple Cow and the Black Tortoise. Both were good but we preferred the Black Tortoise. The price is a bit expensive for what you get - about $8 per cone. However, they taste good are are quite artistic in their presentation. It's great place for a dessert and a nice stop on a date.
