I love the ice cream here so much! My friends and I have come here frequently, but we miss the board games that used to be available. The overall atmosphere before the remodel was a lot cozier and more inviting than it is now.
The Maiko special was delicious with all the layered textures! Taiyaki was also good made to order which is nice! Little bit hard to spot due to construction but well worth it!
Best REAL matcha place ever
Try the matcha ice cream.
Best matcha ever!! This place spoiled me so bad that I don't want to have matcha from anywhere else! My favorite is the matcha latte w ice cream on top, but they have so many fun flavors and everything is delicious! Employees are also very kind/patient and the space is beautiful as well.
Love their quality Matcha!! Nothing else like this place in the area. They have oat, soy, and almond milk options also for drinks. They can offer sugar free matcha drinks now too!
To die for. Best matcha you could ever ask for. So creamy and strong. If you don't love the flavor of matcha and like a hint of the flavor, this is not for you. The banana pudding matcha filled a hole in my soul and was the best drink I have ever had.
Love everything about this place! My favorite drink to get is the iced matcha latte float with ube/hokkaido ice cream swirl. Definitely check them out!
If I could leave negative stars, I would. I’ve been here a few times, but after this experience, I won’t be back. It took 20 minutes just to take my order. There were plenty of employees, yet no one at the register because they were all chatting in the back. When someone finally came out, she was rude and unwelcoming.
The matcha is shockingly low quality. It is chalky, bitter, separates within minutes, and my drink somehow even had wood in it. It is a shame to have a place like this represent matcha. Instead of respecting the product and its culture, it feels like matcha is being gentrified and cheapened into an overpriced novelty.
The ice cream is overpriced, especially the toppings. The machines are often broken, and the ice cream literally fell into my drink. Seating is always unavailable, which makes no sense for a café, and the plants in the middle feel like a fire hazard.
Despite the nice exterior, this is a poorly run establishment. Employees do not wear gloves or hair restraints, do not wash their hands after handling cash, there are dogs inside, and the place is sticky and dirty. Honestly, this is the kind of situation the health department would be concerned about. Overall, a huge disappointment. I won’t be returning.
This place feels like a truly sweet gem!

My friends and I used to love coming here. They remodeled and took away seating but couldn't get ice cream machines that work. Almost every time we go in one of the machines is down and we can't get those flavors. The flow for cash register to pick up is horrible and makes the store cramped and crowded but again they took the seating away and put stupid plants in. I would skip and go elsewhere moving forward.
There is construction around the building as of nov. it gets pretty crowded inside on weekends. Lots of people visiting.
The matcha and ube soft serve ice cream is good! Matcha is not too sweet. We liked it.
The black sesame matcha latte is a cold foam style. The black sesame taste is very subtle. Good to try but not something id go back for.
The best matcha I’ve ever had. No other matcha place compares. They have a lot of different flavours and they also have soft serve! Very rich authentic matcha flavour. Definitely recommend this place for some real good matcha!!
I really liked this place. Drove over 30 minutes to check it out. The gentleman at the register was super friendly and respectful. Tried the black sesame matcha latte and the taiyaki (waffles) with oreo, ube, and custard fillings. The taiyaki was freshly baked and still hot. Everything tasted great and the shop was very clean. It did get too cold to stay, so I ended up leaving a bit early, but that was probably because of the construction in the plaza. I would definitely come back once that’s done to try more items.
This is an amazing quality & clean place, I’m blown away at how low the prices are, defiantly worth the visit, we’re obsessed now!!!
