Ice cream shop and no soft serving like what they post on yelp. I only got to choose the flavors from vanilla, chocolate, taro and cooked n cream ( even Momo paradise across the street serve more flavours and it’s all you can eat) I saw they scoop that ridiculous taro ice cream from a white dirty plastic box and it cost me fxxx 6dollars. So ridiculous. I threw it into the trash can right after I walked out the store

The place was empty even though it was right after Arcadia High across the street had ended their school day, and about 100 degrees outside. I should have known not to buy anyway since they didn't have any flavors which were appealing.
Ended up getting the strawberry brownie and cookies and cream scoops. But ice cream is just mediocre; I could tell it was made from good ingredients, sadly it tasted gummy rather than the creaminess I prefer with these desserts. There were not many other ice cream places nearby.
Won't come back.

The ice cream was plain and did not taste delicious. Lady at the front counter was rude and had bad temper. I think she was the owner. There were also cockroaches inside the kitchen. Very gross and I saw hair inside my order. 0/10 bad service don’t come here ever again
Soft serves not smooth enough, so slushy.Order: London Fog on charcoal cone
Closed when we arrived at 7:20. Worker was making out on the couch and said they were cleaning
Fun pop-culture vibes in here. Fiod options reminded me of Asia.
Visiting from Arizona looked on Google maps for ice cream the girl working here went above and beyond she even told us local spots to check out the ice cream rolls were delicious and not over

Stale brownies and over priced vegan soft serve that was mediocre at best. $25.57 was the price of a lesson well learned.

We tried the soft serve ice cream but the texture wasn't what I expected from soft serve. Not as creamy, but more like a sorbet. We chose blue cookies with mochi topping in a black charcoal cone and pomegranate with mango topping in a black charcoal cone. The worker was nice and carefully placed the topping, one by one on the soft serve, but unfortunately it still fell off lol. Presentation wise, it looks pretty. I take another star off because they charged $1.49 for the bit of mango topping and 99¢ for the mochi. We felt it was very overpriced for what it was, which was nearly $20 for two cones. Maybe I'll try the other options on their menu next time to see if it's better.
Bubble cone!
There was no line to order when I came in the evening. The flavors change everyday so there are many options. If you don't know about the flavor, they can give you samples. I got the hojicha soft serve 1 scoop in a cup ($6.5). They charge 99 cents per topping so I opted out of adding any. The serving size is quite small for 1 scoop and the price you are paying. Very not worth it for just soft serve. I know other places that give a way larger portion for cheaper. In general, the cup and cone prices are just overpriced. I would say only the drink prices seem normal priced. I liked the taste of the soft serve but the portion was just too small for the price. Also the menu is confusing to understand, like you can't really tell what is the price for soft serve cone or cup. Would not be coming again. I would say just to come here if you are curious about the ice cream.
