Met some friends here last weekend. There was a homeless guy who came in from the cold. The server was yelling at him, and the scene was making all the customers uncomfortable.
told the guy he couldn’t stay and asked if he wanted a coffee to warm up, as it was cold outside. He said yes and I bought him a coffee. The server charged me for the coffee, then called the cops. I told the server the guy was not being violent and he didn’t need to escalate. I talked to the guy, he left with his coffee, and my group sat down and ate. The server charged us full price for our meal after I did his job for him.

the dubai chocolate pan was overall quite heavy / creamy (but yummy) and the matcha one had more layers to the flavors. the croissant in the chocolate pan was perfect. overall would only recommend 2 or 3 people getting one dish given the portion size and calories

A good variety of different desserts, with generous portion sizes. I suggest getting 1 dessert for every two people. The seats are comfortable and the place is spacious with good lighting. The ice is better than typical shaved ice but not quite up to Taiwanese style ice standards.

Dietary restrictions: Allergy ingredients are clearly marked.

Parking: It's on mission so parking is challenging.

Everything was really pretty and the ambience was nice but the desserts were a bit too sweet for me. We got the corn cheese toast and the strawberry shaved ice. The toast was ok and I thought the consistency of the shaved ice was a bit off :/ like there was a lot of hard ice.

Although this one is not the best ice cream shop in San Francisco, I think it is not inferior to other shops. The amount of ice is very sufficient and very delicious.

Love their banana crème brûlée toast. The thick broche toast was a little crunchy outside.

I was so excited to try this new dessert spot in the Mission. Their shaved ice is so refreshing; we got the Thai tea flavor and it was so flavorful and not overly sweet. Shaved ice texture was decent, but could have been a bit fluffier. The boba was a bit overcooked, and the service was a little slow, but not dealbreakers. Overall a solid dessert spot, and will definitely be back to try some of their other options like the toast!!

They just have one vegan option. Also it's very very expensive.
This place said it has a vegan option and for how expensive it is it is terrible.

Wheelchair accessibility: It has no steps
