This is the only place I go to in Chinatown. It is more expensive than other similar places around but worth the experience.
I enjoyed the All Very Strawberry Ice Cream Cake Jar but due to the machine for the strawberry ice cream being down, I had to replace the ice cream with a different flavor.
I opted for vanilla ice cream. I ordered the mini which was sufficient for an afternoon sweet treat.
The jar is layered with the strawberry cupcake on the bottom, icing, strawberry crunch, and topped with ice cream. It’s a wonderful combination but the plastic spoons available made it difficult to access the cupcake with the other layers.
I would order the cake jar again but will use my own spoon so I don’t spend time trying to pull up the cupcake smashed at the bottom to enjoy with the other layers.
They have a high top table ledge to sit and enjoy your treat inside if you choose. It sits across from the workspace where you can watch them make your treat.
A bit pricy, almost $12 after tax for a milkshake, but definitely worth it. One of the best milkshakes Ive had. The ice cream was rich and creamy, the toppings were blended perfectly. Not too much but still had some chewable chunks. They have boba straws, so you don’t have to fight to get a sip. A nice treat every now and again, with the price being what it is!
The ice cream is pretty good. $10 for a “regular” cup is ridiculous though. So many companies these days getting greedy. I’m sure the owner will respond parroting some generic excuses about how much prices have risen. Meanwhile there are places in Philly still serving delicious gourmet ice cream for three fifty.
Surprisingly disappointed with the lack of flavor in this ice cream, especially since it’s a well known chain. The matcha taro twist I got tasted like vanilla. Both flavors were just vanilla, I don’t know why they would advertise it as Taro or Matcha…would not recommend these flavors or come back since it’s expensive too.
I got the matcha and taro swirl ice cream. It was the biggest disappointment! It tasted nothing like taro and matcha. Don't waste your time and money coming here.
Matcha/Taro swirl was very underwhelming. Looked pretty but very little flavor just tasted like the vanilla base :(
Amazing Ice Cream! Didn’t expect Earl Grey Vanilla to be soo good!
Late post but the ice cream was definitely memorable. I will be going again!
Delicious flavors, cool mason jars you can fill with ice cream, and the prices aren't bad. Definitely recommend

Best ice cream place in Philadelphia.
My favorite soft serve ice cream place in Philly! I particularly love their earl grey soft serve, which pairs well with many of their delicious toppings. The servings are kind of big for me, but the ice cream is so good I usually finish it anyway. I’d love to try some more of their flavors (though I keep finding myself ordering the earl grey since I can’t get that anywhere else).
Super nice and had really fancy ice cream that tasted fabulous
Best boba ice cream tea in city

We got served by two male employees one named Dillion and I didn’t catch the other guys name. They were both really nice and patient my friend and I have never been before and there was a lot of option.
I got the s’more’s ice cream and my friend got a chocolate milk shake. The ice cream was delicious, my friend got treats inside her milkshake and I’ve never had a mason jar ice cream before so it was fun. We’ll be back there soon.
