Such a unique & delicious ice cream spot! We tried the Matcha Brownie with Matcha Vanilla Swirl, & it was delicious. My boyfriend was especially impressed! The red bean wasn't really our favorite, but that's just because it isn't our personal taste, not because there was anything wrong with it. The ice cream itself was excellent: rich, creamy, & full of flavor. We'd definitely come back to try more options!!
