    Taro and black sesame on top  Regular size  Sprinkles cone
    Connie Y.

    100/10 Probably the best soft serve I've literally ever had. Also the sweetest 2 guys in the front helping out. It's not very sweet which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!! My asian mom literally would love this place so much! I will definitely be back!

    Im obsessed with this place! I had a giant bowl of noodles with two eggs and also a delicious plate crepe- nutella crepe that was drizzled with condensed milk and served with Ghirardelli's chocolate soft serve ice cream and a side of strawberries and banana Experience: I can't wait to go back!!

    Open late. Friendly service. Cute little shop. The flavors are on the lighter side not too sweet. They didn't have black sesame when I went which is why I came! I'll have to try another day

    Black Sesame (top) and Red Guava (bottom)

    Cute little dessert cafe. Had the Black Sesame and Red Guava flavors and both are pretty good. Although price isn't cheap for the soft serve, you get a free topping. This place has some unique flavors that you may not get elsewhere. It's at a good location that you can walk around Burlingame downtown.

    Cute spot with some unique soft serve flavors. The kids cup was $6 with 1 topping included. There was outdoor seating but not much space indoors!

    Matcha and guava w/ biscoff

    Cute and small ice cream shop serving soft serve. I like the texture of their soft serve, super creamy and smooth. I sampled their black sesame which was tasty but ultimately decided on guava and matcha. Guava was fruity and a little tart so I recommend that! They loaded a bunch of biscoff crumbles which gave it cheesecake vibes. Will come again!

    Came across this soft, serve ice cream spot and honestly, it was so good!!! I got black sesame, and Matcha mixed ! The service was so amazing!!!!! it's super clean inside as well!!! definitely, I could taste the quality of this ice cream! I would definitely come back here again

    Cute shop that serves soft serves. Friend and I happened by months ago. Fun spot. I was not super impressed by my vanilla soft serve tho. Maybe will try another flavor next time. Located on Burlingame Ave between Park Rd and Lorton Ave.

    Guava soft serve

    I wanted to try this soft serve for the guava flavor. It was $8 which is pretty pricey. The guava didn't even taste like guava at all. Not even an artificial flavoring. It just tasted sweet. A little disappointing. The ice cream was very creamy rich and soft. It wasn't bad. Just not the flavor I was expecting. Did not taste like a guava fruit.

    Red guava cone with fruity pebbles (one free topping) and black sesame cone Definitely
    Kelly W.

    Quick service when you walk in. Small and cozy store. We got the Black Sesame cone + Red Guava cone Definitely not on the sweet side, but still creamy and delicious. After a few licks of my Red Guava, it was hard to find the flavor though. One free topping included with the scoop - $17.98 after tax for 2 cones.

    Love love love this place! They service ramen & other desserts. Staff is super friendly & they are open until midnight. We come here at least twice a week bc we love it so much

    Tried Buena's for the second time today, and their new recipe is so much better! The first time I went, everything was way too sweet -- like dessert pretending to be a drink. But this time, the sweetness was toned down, which was a total game changer for me. I got a cup of the dragonfruit flavor and... it was $7. Yes, seven dollars for one cup. Definitely overpriced, but honestly, worth it as an occasional treat. My wallet might not agree, but my taste buds do. Austin Yee

    Black Sasame & Green Tea: 2/5

    Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Amiance: 4/5 Friends and I were craving soft serve decided to check our this place in Burlingame. I've walked passed this place multiple times and always thought that the decor was cute. Honestly the soft serve doe.... doesn't taste cute. Soooo organic to the point that I feel like some of the soft serve was not sweated. Vanilla: 5/5 The one and only flavor that tasted good! Matcha: 2/5 honestly the worst matcha ice cream i've tasted, matcha quality was not good and the ice cream was not sweetened. Black Sesame: 2/5 Again not sweetened.... LOL Taro: 2/5 Tasted like watered down plain milk lol didn't taste like taro.

All options are available in either a cup or a cone. - Chocolate Burst -- vanilla frozen yogurt swirled with chocolate syrup along the edges, creating a classic striped effect; portion size was generous (easily double the size of the cup), ideal for those who enjoy a vanilla-forward base with just a hint of extra flavor On a later Friday evening, the shop was still buzzing with customers. The line moved quickly, with just a few groups ahead of us. Pricing falls in line with standard Bay Area dessert spots: $7 for a small, $8 for a medium, and $9.50 for a large as of 2025. Service was fast and friendly. While there's no indoor seating, there's a spacious patio area with plenty of tables and chairs outside. I'll definitely be coming back soon to try more of their flavors -- the Chunky Fudge Brownie and Caramel Fudge Vanilla both caught my eye.

Yelpers directed us towards this place, and I am grateful for this community for that! We liked it so much, we came back twice in two days! Our first visit, we ordered the Sesame Fans and Chestnut Dream. We also added the Mango Panna Cotta dessert. Both drinks were smooth and nutty and the dessert wasn't too sweet but still really fruity. As we were waiting, we saw all the other waffle desserts that were coming out of the kitchen. We both said we needed to come back for those desserts! On our second visit THE NEXT DAY, we ordered the Mango Sago and the Red Rose drinks. As we had just finished a very large lunch right before this, we just couldn't bring ourselves to order any of the waffle desserts! Again, our drinks were amazing and refreshing.

There are some tables with round chairs for medium to large groups, or you seat facing the window like a bar table for 3 in a group. Our friends are very happy with the Mango Mochi Gelato. One lady found the Black Sticky Rice soup too sweet. I like my almond soup, although the white fungus could be softer, but the amount of white fungus was ok, so I'm glad it's not just watery soup. Service was very limited. There's no water offered, and the staff only delivered the desserts. You need to grab the key near the cashier to go to the restroom. I walked over to the front to ask for extra spoons for sharing. I like their menu has savory snacks, bento items besides desserts. They have a gelato fridge at the front with about 6-8 choices. I wish the service is warmer, but I guess they offer unique food at a good place that wins the market easily.

Buttermilk pancake and Milano crepe were fine - both were relatively sizable and tasty. New Orleans benedict was a huge miss. I'm not sure how long my plate was sitting out before it was served, but the English muffin was soggy, the egg was very overcooked/not runny at all, and the hollandaise sauce had developed a noticeable skin. The entire dish was lukewarm at best. Our food came out quickly, so it's obvious Crepevine pre-makes everything and nothing is fresh. As we were leaving, we saw a plate in the kitchen with a giant stack of pre-made crepes on it. Lastly, service was a HUGE disappointment. When we were at the cash register placing our order, the employee NEVER looked at us. Instead, she kept looking around and was very distracted, which is probably why she asked us to repeat ourselves 3 times. Then, in the MIDDLE of our ordering, she turned and started talking to a woman behind us in line. They literally proceeded to have an entire conversation while we were standing there, holding menus in our hand, waiting to finish placing our order. We should have walked out right there. After we sat down, no one ever brought us water. Our food arrived and we still didn't have water, so we had to flag someone down. That person didn't bring anything, so we had to ask another person. Everything - from water to napkins to boxes - needed to be requested multiple times. Not gonna come back again.
