We love this place parfait but this place does not open according to what it says on online or in store. We were disappointed multiple times to learn upon arrival that it doesn’t open during listed opening hours. What’s the point for listing a business hour if you don’t follow it.

$16 dollars for a single scoop of vanilla ice cream with some yam on top. $17.62 after tax. This price is actually despicable and there is ZERO justification for it because yams are, famously, a very inexpensive food. Tasted fine but please save your money.

Tasty Japanese yam treats. The baked Japanese yam with honey butter is soft and melty and delicious. A little bit of a wait but worth it!

Hi - Hello Yam! Thanks for bringing this cute dessert here. It was super fun and I love the purple color so much. Yes, it is more on the expensive side, however I am happy I have tried it. Good luck with your business.

Good dessert overall but my favorite was the parfait with the blend of textures and different levels of sweetness. The yam brulee didn’t do much for me but good overall. Yam, custard and brûlée. Nothing too crazy.

Satisfying parfait with the variety of textures from the sweet potato, ice cream and corn flakes!
However, it was a very small portion size for the price ($16) even for the city. The wait was also quite long for us being the only customers there on a Saturday evening.

I really enjoyed the purple parfait!! The yam was soft and tasty! It was a fun experience to try it in a spaghetti-like form. This treat is perfect for the summertime because of the cold ice cream! I also enjoyed the crunchy cornflakes and potato chunks at the bottom. This delicious treat really brightened up my day! 💜

The person behind the counter was very respectful and kind. And the overall store vibes were very cool and calming. I enjoyed the music while I was reading a few museum pamphlets.

Overpriced! Dont come here. 17 dollars for ice cream is insane….

The purple yam one is good, but the price is very steep for what it is.

I’m disappointed. It seems that baked sweet potatoes are having a moment. And honestly I love them. I got the basic butter option which was also the one recommended

The taste was fine but my issue was how it was served. In the pic they show a whole potato. And I got slices. This seems misleading especially for the price paid and how much a sweet potato costs.

Sadly it’s on my no list. My bf went to the ice cream shop next door and I wish I had done the same thing. Just seemed like a waste of money

Have mixed feelings about this. The purple yam dispensed as spaghetti noodles was fun and it tasted delicious and not overly sweet. It was nicely balanced with a sweet vanilla soft serve and crunchy cornflakes as well as a few chopped up pieces of yellow yam. The actual concept and product is very good.

The downside is the size and also that there are a lot of empty pockets in the already small cup. I felt like after filling up the bottom with crunchy cornflakes and the yam pieces, they could have packed in the vanilla soft serve and given more of it. Lastly, there was just one employee who was nice, but liked to hide in the back a lot. I sat inside the store eating my parfait and during that time, had to reassure several customers that there was a person there working and would get to them soon.

It's a very cute dessert. We got the purple parfait - I love sweet potato so it was great for me. The taste is just lightly sweet with a crunch from the cornflakes.
It's a bit pricey but a nice treat. My friend recommended this place and I would too.
There is a small seating area.

SO YUMMY. I love japanese sweet potatos and eat them at home but these ones are so much better and prepared really well. I tried the purple parfait, crème brûlée baked sweet potato, and the honey butter sweet potato. All three were soo delicious, but I especially loved eating the honey butter sweet potato with the parfait so I could have more potato with the ice cream c: The parfait has some sweet potato but I needed more because it was so good so eating them together was perfect. The crème brulee was good too, but I think the highlight is really just how high quality these potatos are, so that kind of masks it just a bit!! Still so yummy though.
