I come here weekly it's literally an addiction. The hojicha latte is insane & such a good price too. All the desserts are made of such high quality ingredients but the mochi matcha cookie is my favorite. Perfectly sweet with that deep matcha flavor. Great quality chocolate. Service is always on point. No other matcha place compares at this point lol.

Stumbled upon this place & got the matcha brownie parfait & it was super refreshing! I liked that the matcha was soft & creamy & wasn't too overpowering. Once you eat it, though, the matcha flavour kicks in a few seconds later. The matcha brownies were okay & not too sweet, but I think I'd just get the matcha soft serve on its own next time. It also came with a scoop of red bean paste, which I found to be sweeter than the ice cream.

I went on a Saturday afternoon, so there was quite a bit of a lineup, but the service was pretty fast & I didn't have to wait too long.

So far, this is my spot whenever I'm craving matcha ice cream. I haven't come across many places that do it this well!

Disappointed there was no strawberry matcha on the menu. Tried the YUZU matcha & it was good. Sweeter than I expected. Was super busy but line moved quickly.
