    Vanilla Soft Serve ($6) with Chocolate sauce
    Elle C.

    After enjoying a shaved ice dessert across the street, we'd spotted the inviting sign of Claws and Cream. After researching on Yelp, we decided to stop in (although we'd just had dessert), as a soft serve sounded good to hubby. Staff was friendly and helpful in guiding us through their menu. We ordered: - Pandan Coconut Soft Serve, $6.50 - Vanilla Soft Serve ($6) with Chocolate sauce We were impressed with the generous servings and stiff consistency, as well as the tasty flavors. Nice-&-spacious, with a variety of comfortable seating options, conducive to enjoying our desserts! Looking forward to returning (soon!) to experience more off their menu. Fun & tasty find!!

    Pandan strawberry and biscoff crumble ! Both yum!!

    I've been driving by this place forever and finally was able to check it out after dinner! Right when you step in, it is pretty warm at the entry but keep walking it gets cooler. So many cute decorations on the walls and ceiling. Loved the green velvet chairs they had. Lots of different types of claw machines! It was fun watching people get so excited for being so close and some actually getting them! We had a group of us and we all ordered something different and all really enjoyed it! We tried their pandan strawberry and biscoff crumble. I personally dislike coconut flakes so I should have told them not to put those on but it's also so pretty decorated. I enjoyed the corn flakes in the middle! It was a very nice surprise and crunch! Biscoff was so yummy. Can't go wrong and it was loaded with biscoff! My friend tried their Dubai and he said it was really good! Their soft serve all looked amazing and I love how it looks. It's so perfect! They also had the viral chili ice cream too! Excited to try some other flavors this summer!

    Enjoyable spot for a sweet treat. Claw games and a few board games available to play with family and friends. Soft serve was more ice than milk which was a nice change for us! $6 for one sized cup, appreciate that there is no hole in the swirl! Perfect swirl :) Detail is definitely in the flavors as they were light and really good. Pineapple was my favorite it reminds me of dole whip just an "icy" version. Pandan coconut had great flavor and if I got the vanilla next time I would add toppings! Mango sticky rice latte was good, I personally am not a fan of the rice but a solid choice to try out. Also everything wasn't super sweet either, which is my preference. There is long booth/couch style seating great for little to medium groups. Service was quick and friendly; space was clean and there's a good amount to entertain!

    This spot replaced the previous dessert business, but remodeled and updated a couple things. They renamed to "Claws and Cream" because they added claw machines near the back walls and some tabletop games (like Connect 4). biscoff ice cream -- pretty good, can't go wrong with biscoff. has a vanilla base ice cream that I feel is very similar to other places we've been to. strawberry try shortcake -- good, but not as good as the biscoff. same vanilla base ice cream as the biscoff. We finished most of it, but didn't feel like it's that special Overall, decent spot to add to your dessert rotation, especially if you live nearby.

    Finally got the chance to check this place out Serves coffee matcha ice cream and various desserts like mini donuts and crepes Love the concept great open space for people to catch up and there's of course claw machine for entertainment I personally got the banana matcha, the matcha taste was lacking, not my favorite BML out there. Probs best to go to davien across but then love how there's many options to choose from here

    Soft serve
    Tina N.

    I went to Claws & Cream because they had a promo a while back. I got banana soft serve and my friends got matcha. It was good because it was not too sweet, and very filling. The service was nice and a group of people also spilled their drinks and the place remade it for them and promptly cleaned up the mess.

    Matcha soft serve
    Kim N.

    Been here a couple times, overall pretty good experience! The staff is very friendly! Wait time can get a bit lengthy if it's busy. The ice cream is great and drinks are pretty decent.I love their matcha soft-serve! It's a must-get if you ever stop by! I honestly think any flavor you choose will be a hit, and i believe you can choose up to 2 free toppings for your ice cream. As for the setting, there are lots of seating, claw machines and games you can play! It can get a little loud during the evening on the weekends with so many family and friends hanging out at the shop, so it may not be the best place to study if that's what you're looking for.

    Durian Ice Cream w/ Coconut Flakes
    Long T.

    Tasty ice cream. Fast and friendly service. Loud and fun place to hang out. I like that they are open late, which makes it a great spot to hang out. The claw machines made it an even better choice while enjoying some delicious ice cream. Our group decided to share the durian ice cream since we were still full from dinner. I am not the biggest fan of durian (yes, I am Viet, and yes, my parents made me eat it growing up... it just never stuck, fight me), but I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. The texture was especially good. I would come back to try other flavors, and next time I will make sure I come hungry for my own order.

    Wow super cute spot! Outside, the place looks unassuming but inside, there's so much seating and so many fun claw machines. There's plenty of board games too. The place is meant to enjoy a treat (there's ice cream, teas, and matcha) while playing games and hanging out. The desserts are massive too! Huge portion and so tasty!!! I love the matcha affogato- it comes with almonds and caramel and the caramel surprisingly goes so well with the matcha

    This is definitely a cute spot to get ice cream and drinks. There was limited parking. There's a ton of tables inside and a good amount of claw machines. They offer free lactaid at the counter for my fellow lactose intolerants. The worker that helped up was friendly. He told us about the different types of ice creams they have as well as drinks. I tried the matcha affogato and the coffee affogato. Both were super delicious. The matcha flavor was rich which I love. It good but I did find it a bit overpriced for what it is. I got to try their claw machines and got lucky and snagged a capybara on the second try. They also have board games you can play while there.

    Claws and Cream is such a fun place to spend an afternoon! They have a great selection of delicious ice cream with plenty of flavors to choose from, making it the perfect treat while you hang out. What really makes this place unique is everything there is to do. They have board games you can play with friends, claw machines filled with adorable prizes, and a cute, cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The décor is charming and creates a fun, relaxing vibe. The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely wants everyone to have a great experience. I had so much fun playing the claw machines, and when I was having trouble, the staff even reorganized the plushies to give me a better chance at winning. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for more than just ice cream, Claws and Cream is the perfect spot to relax, play games, hang out with friends, and make some fun memories. I'll definitely be back!

    dubai ice cream and panda matcha float
    Wendy Y.

    We got the Dubai chocolate ice cream and the pandan matcha float, and both were really good. The flavors were unique and well-balanced, definitely worth trying. This is a great spot for spending time with family or catching up with friends. There's plenty of seating inside, and they even have board games you can borrow, which adds to the overall experience. It feels welcoming and relaxed. The service was also excellent, friendly and efficient. Overall, a really enjoyable visit, and I would definitely come back.

    These customers kept staring at me the entire time I was there
    Timmy S.

    I love this dessert shop. I was immediately warmly welcomed by the woman behind the counter. She was extremely helpful in describing different choices and making recommendations. The cute interior has lots of comfortable seating and a number of claw machines. I visited late one afternoon and chose an iced vanilla latte and a Biscoff ice cream. Once made, she delivered my treats to my table. The Vietnamese coffee and milk drink (more of a café au lait than a latte) was sweetened to my preference (100%) and was done perfectly. I must mention that I appreciated that the ice filled half the cup rather than completely filling it, allowing me more of the actual delicious drink to enjoy. The Biscoff ice cream was SO GOOD. Homemade soft serve vanilla ice cream layered with Biscoff crumbles and cookie butter, topped with a full cookie. Every spoonful was bursting with Biscoff flavor with an abundance of those crumbles. If you like Biscoff this will be one of your favorite desserts. I highly recommend this place; it makes the top tier of my favorite dessert shops.

    This question is more for the owner. Do you offer any durian coffee drink?

    Hi Marie! Thanks for your inquiry. We are unaffiliated with the previous store, Delight. We are a brand new business. However, we do plan on launching a full coffee menu very soon! 🙂

    Does this place accept cash?

He got a pig with piglet in butter pecan and milk & oreo flavors, and I got the rose shaped one in black sesame, Pandan mung bean coconut, taro coconut, and durian. Gelato itself is delicious (texture, flavor, sweetness level, everything hits the spot!), I love the selection and variety of all the flavors and all the flavors were delicious too! Prices were fair too, not insanely jacked up and overpriced - especially since I love the unique characters too, which are absolutely adorable! Their attention to detail is amazing! Service is not great though. Only reason I docked a star. They feed into the stereotype of the Vietnamese being cheapskates. They're very stingy with samples - and I'm a paying customer, my friend and I were each getting one. I had tried Pandan mung bean coconut, black sesame, and when I asked for Durian was when the guy started making comments so I had to go ahead and order (didn't like that though). I wanted the rose (since it allowed 4 flavors), and the guy there warned me how the rose won't look that pretty with 4 colors - I said that's fine, I want a lot of flavor options. Also note that the staff speaks fluent Viet - I spoke to them in Viet (southern region accent). Overall my friend and I had a good experience here. We'd still recommend them and will likely come back!

The night market is only during summer time so i was so excited when i heard that they were actually opening their own location! My mom and I been hooked since then on their lychee, Jackfruit, and durian ice cream. The reason why we liked it is because the flavors are rare and hard to find anywhere else. Also, I believe their ice cream is made with really fresh ingredients. You can really taste the freshness and flavor. My mom is extremely annoyingly picky but she actually likes the ice cream from Ant's a lot. I also tried the original flavors and I would highly recommend the strawberry but mostly the pistachio. It was so delicious.! I came for ice cream but the smell of the fresh brewing tea smelled too good to pass up. I tried the original milk tea and all I have to say is wow. You can really taste the strong tea flavor in the drink (which I really like and is usually really picky about). I will definitely be back to try other flavors! I love the inside as there's actually seating and tables inside and outside to mingle with friends. Really rare to see that these days. Customer service was friendly and great. They were patient and allowed us to try samples.

We walked into a space that stands out immediately with its themed decor, character designs, and little details that make it feel different from a typical ice cream spot. The shop has a strong personality without relying only on the theme, making it a place that works for both anime fans and anyone looking for unique desserts. The interior is compact but thoughtfully designed, with colorful artwork and small touches that reward a closer look. The biggest highlight is the rotating ice cream selection. The flavors go beyond the usual options, with combinations like ube, sea salt, yuzu orange, and other seasonal creations that give the menu a more adventurous feel. We appreciated that they offer samples before choosing, since the variety makes it hard to decide. The flavors are creative but still approachable, and the dairy-free options are a nice addition for people looking for alternatives. The ube had a rich, earthy sweetness, and the yuzu orange offered a bright, citrusy contrast that kept the tasting experience interesting. The texture of the ice cream was smooth and creamy, and the flavors were well balanced without relying on excessive sweetness. The presentation is also part of the experience. The anime-inspired names, cute designs, and collectible stickers that come with the scoops add a fun element that makes the visit feel more memorable. We noticed a mix of fans and families enjoying the space, and the overall energy of the shop is welcoming and playful. The small details, from the branding to the way the staff interacted with customers, made the visit feel more personal and engaging. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff were helpful when explaining the different flavors or letting us try options before committing. They were patient with questions and offered thoughtful recommendations based on what we were in the mood for. The space itself is on the smaller side, so seating can be limited and it may be better suited for grabbing a scoop and enjoying it nearby rather than spending a long time inside. The turnover moves quickly, and the staff manage the flow efficiently. Tsun Scoops is a great dessert stop if you are looking for something more unique than a standard ice cream shop. The combination of creative flavors, anime-inspired atmosphere, and small personal touches makes it feel like a place built around the experience as much as the ice cream itself, offering a visit that is both playful and satisfying.
