The flavors are genuine and authentic, with none of that artificial taste. It is definitely not your average menu. They open at 7PM, so it's a great evening treat. Also, indoor seating is minimal, so it's more of a grab-and-go or eat in the parking lot. Portions & Customization: I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size; even the "kid size" is a good amount. I also love that they allow you to split 1 serving into 2 different flavors, which is perfect for trying new things. As for the flavors, we tried the Vietnamese Coffee & Yakult. I have to say, the bitter coffee & tangy yogurt was an unpleasant combo! Next visit, I'll be a bit more strategic: I'll pair the Coffee with Condensed Milk, and the Yakult with Mango or another fruit. Overall, it's a fun spot and I'll definitely return.

The cake was so delicious and honestly one of the cutest cakes I've ever ordered. The owner was super accommodating, I was able to pick it up a little early with no issues, which I really appreciated. And can we talk about the packaging?? SO. DAMN. CUTE. ( I forgot to take a pic but it was nicely wrapped) The original cake design had a little bear, but she changed it to a red heart, which was so nice and fit the theme perfectly. I'll 100% be ordering more from them for all my future occasions!!!

When I first saw this place, I thought it was just a specialty cake shop. I did not expect them to…read morehave an extensive menu of premium bubble tea drinks as well. It is amazing how much variety they offer at this small shop, including but not limited to cakes, breads, bubble tea, and other desserts. I like to stop by for a drink when I am nearby. The matcha drinks and house special milk teas are pretty good. I would recommend the Brulee Matcha Shake, which has a smooth and creamy texture and is somehow not overly sweet. Brown sugar boba is the perfect topping to go with this drink.

Their bingsu and toppings all blended so well together it felt like I was eating a Chinese/Korean açaí bowl. It felt like a very light dessert and I could keep eating more of it. Some bingsu's are a bit more decadent. This place was just right. The bingsu was light and the texture was perfect. It wasn't too icy like some other places. Service was excellent! The cashier was kind and patient. We received our order quickly. There is plenty of seating inside the store. Bingsu Bingsu is located on the promenade side of the Arcadia Westfield mall. There is plenty of parking all around the mall. Would highly recommend this bingsu shop!

This…read morestore is conveniently located in the Arcadia Mall/Santa Anita mall (in the outdoor mall area nearby Nordstrom). I ordered the mango passionfruit bingsu (large) to share for two. Lots of mango pieces covered with passionfruit jelly (dripped with mango and passionfruit puree). You also get a scoop of ice cream (flavor of your choice) ) on top of your bingsu, and I chose vanilla. Very refreshing on a hot day! There are a handful of seating inside, so can be pretty crowded when busy. Good value as the large portion size is plenty to share for two. Parking wise, can be a pain in the you-know-what at this mall, especially on a weekend or during a holiday.

Every flavor is good, but I really enjoy this one in particular. We took a pint to-go which hits the spot at home when I have a sweet tooth after dinner. I hope they keep this one on the menu permanently. We usually get our scoop with a waffle bowl. If you are stuck between two flavors, they can also do a half scoop of each! Service has always been incredibly friendly, and we love just enjoying our ice cream inside the shop. Nice and clean, but can definitely get crowded during the after dinner rush.

The ice cream shoppe is cute and the menu items are of average price. A single scoop is about $6 and they offer ice cream flights if you want to try out different flavors. Service wise-I think it varies. It was my third time there a few days ago and I think at my first visit there, the girl who helped me was very sweet but at my last visit, service was just so-so. Overall, Moo Moo Mia a great place for dessert.

I shared a bubble egg waffle with my partner and it was the perfect size for the two of us. There were plenty of ice cream flavors to choose from, but we decided on cookies n cream, a flavor you can never go wrong with. The wait time for the waffle took longer than I expected, but it was all worth the wait. The waffle was served hot, while the ice cream was cold, so there was this delightful temperature contrast. Ample seating is available inside the cafe, as well as free wifi. From what I saw, it appears that many people come here to study or work on their laptops.

We bought an elote, tortuga and can't recall the third piece of pan, and alfajores. The elote was delicious, I love that you can see little specs of cinnamon, soft and tender and vanilla scent. The tortuga was a bit more spongy, fragrant, and nice balanced of sweetness. The alfajores were buttery, crisp and smeared with dulce de leche. I needed a bday cake and decided to order the strawberry shortcake, because it looked so pretty. The cake was a hit with the family. The frosting was super light, the filling is one layer of custard and the other of light whipped cream and berries. The sponge is moist, the cake is not sweet, but decadent in its creamy texture. The inside of the store is aesthetically appealing, traditional glass cases showcase the pan. I'm so glad to have a nearby bakery and cake shop!

While I am very…read morehappy about this (I love Cafe de Olla in Monrovia), getting coffee and a pastry post-workout might very well become my routine if I don't exercise enough self-control! Like some of the reviews already mentioned, this location is more of a "grab and go" type of place. They have a solid selection of cakes, pastries, and drinks. If you are looking for their full breakfast menu, the Monrovia location down the street is where you would want to go! When I visited, they were celebrating their 1-year anniversary with an outside table of samplers. They had a balloon arch outside to signal to the community that they are celebrating something special as well. The lady out front shared with me what they had to offer, and she also mentioned that they do catering! I like my coffee strong but also on the sweet side. When I asked for the stronger option, I was recommended to get the cappucino rather than the latte and they can make the caffeine a little bit more concentrated without sacrificing the flavor. The cookies were a little dry for my taste but maybe it was because the samplers were sitting outside for a little too long. I would go back just to try the breakfast sandwich, but the experience of grabbing food was pretty fast and the food was flavorful enough! Excited to have a closer Cafe de Olla to me and wishing them so much success!
