Ranging from snow cakes, appetizers, salads, soups, entrees and more, this is your perfect cafe destination. Looking at the menu, it took forever to order because everything looked really good. I ended up going with their popcorn chicken entree which was the perfect balance of greens, protein and carbs from their purple rice. Chicken was pretty standard for popcorn chicken but tasted hot and fresh. Their miso salmon and peppercorn ribeye steak looked really good too. I tried their sweet peach drink too which was good too, a bit sugary but was fine. I was co-working and it was honestly a great spot to just relax, eat, drink some boba and get some work done. With free Wifi, bathroom, it just was a comfortable spot and it wasn't too busy in there that it distracted us. I would most definitely come back if I was in the area and I really am intrigued about their desserts.
We stopped by here for a later dinner around 8pm; there was plenty of seating available and it seemed dog-friendly. The decorations were really cute (and fairy-tale like). The restaurant was entirely self-service, there were kiosks to order from, and our order was ready fairly quickly. We tried the Crispy chicken noodle soup and Pork chop noodle soup. It turns out both noodle soups had exactly the same broth, just different meat. I liked both noodles, but the pork chop seemed a bit more tender than the chicken. We also had the mango chrysanthemum tea which was good and not too sweet. I saw a good number of customers order shaved snow which looked good, I would definitely try that next time we're in the area!
I'm so happy I finally got the chance to try Ever After Tearoom & Eatery! Ambiance: This place is super cute and a great spot to hang out with friends. I love that they're pet-friendly too. They even have little dog bowls with water at the entrance for your pups, and you can sit at the outdoor tables if they're not service animals. Inside is pretty spacious as well. Even though there aren't a ton of tables, it doesn't feel crowded and it's easy to move around without bumping into people. Service: Ordering is simple--you can order with the cashier or use their kiosk. Once you place your order, they give you a pager that lets you know when your food is ready. Quick and easy. Food/Dessert: They offer both hot meals and desserts like rice and noodle dishes, they also have items for your dogs as well so they can enjoy , but we mainly came for the dessert. Their shaved ice is what they're most known for and wow--it's so light, fluffy, and delicious. You can add different toppings, and the portion is pretty big so it's definitely shareable. My only small wish is that the toppings lasted a little longer because once they're gone, you're left with just the ice. Overall it was really delicious and such a cute place to visit. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here. Thank you Ever After for a great experience--you'll see me again soon!
What a cute little gem in a random plaza! Was craving something refreshing after dinner and this hit the spot! There's plenty of parking in the lot and upon entering- definite plus. Inside decor was cute and you go up to a little kiosk near back to order yourself and then find a table. The shaved snow was very customizable and you could get almost anything on the side or added on. We ordered the Summer Farm shaved snow and it came with a variety of fruit and toppings (I added a side of boba). One plus of this place is that they actually layer in toppings within the shaved snow- definite not stingy on it! Service was friendly. It was crowded and did take a short while for the food to come out but there was a sign warning us ahead of time. Overall, definitely plan to frequent this place!
This is my go-to place for comforting snacks while getting some work done. There are plenty of seatings inside and outside. It's self-service style: you place an order at the kiosk, grab a pager, then come back to get your food when it's ready. My favorite here is the taro and pork chop oat porridge - warm, comforting, and quite healthy, with a generous portion. Their shaved ice is also delicious. Things I hope they can improve on: some of the water cups are really old and don't look sanitizing. Tables could also be cleaner sometimes. It would be great if they pay more attentions to these details. As for wifi, you can use the free wifi from Starbucks nextdoor.
Shaved snow came up as a topic at a Yelp event, and it immediately brought back some nostalgia for me. Years ago, I used to take my daughter and her friends to Snow Station & Snow Monster in Westminster/GG when she was in high school. Viral at the time but then it seemed to disappear from the scene, and I hadn't seen it in a long time. Turns out it never really went away... it's been kept alive through Korean culture as "Bingsu" (proun: ~BingSoo) , the ultra-light shaved ice dessert that looks and feels like fluffy snow but takes like ice cream (my fav). Once I connected that dot, I had to go check it out right away. I headed to ETR & Eatery in Irvine after seeing the great reviews. The space is cute and floral -- rose wallpaper, chandeliers, ivy accents...fast-casual ordering but with a charming (ok a bit girly) tea-room vibe. Varied menu too: plenty of food options, boba drinks, and multiple dessert variations. I ordered the mango carriage bingsu (their most popular). The menu says it serves 2-4. I was skeptical and alone...but challenge accepted. Yep, I finished it, and I was stuffed and a bit uncomfortable on the drive home. It's essentially a full meal disguised as dessert. Definitely shareable, though manageable if you're committed and a bit of a food-pig like me. The texture is light and airy, true shaved milky snow, not snow cone chunky ice. Fresh mango on top, sweet but not heavy. It comes with its own pudding layer, which was better than the extra crème brûlée, I added on the side (probably unnecessary). The ordering screen said up it could be up to a 30-60 minute wait during busy times. I went at 2:30 PM and it took maybe three minutes. So don't panic -- just ask how long, if you're short on time. Large front patio, dog-friendly, pleasant indoor seating. Probably not ideal for takeout since it would melt quickly but great do groups of friends or fam. Bottom line: nostalgia met curiosity, large size...conquered and I'm officially back on the shaved show/bingsu train.
Not many savory vegetarian dishes, but the one I had was delicious. I got the vegetarian fried rice, and it was the perfect warm dish after a long day. This was my first time trying black rice and it was a good combination with the rest of the vegetables. I like that you can come here to catch up with friends over a meal or even study. Lots of seating too!
One of my favorite dessert spots in Irvine! The shaved snow is really good and they have some really unique and fun flavor combinations. The pudding that they put on top of all of the shaved snow is honestly the best part. In addition to desert, they also have some healthy, savory food options, such as noodles and rice. However, I felt that the savory options weren't as good as their dessert options so I would definitely stick to disordering dessert and drinks at this place. Because they are a tea shop they have a good selection of tea and boba and specifically I really enjoy the chrysanthemum tea because there is no caffeine!
Taiwanese conjoins French cuisine Food: I had my appetite hopes on the beef noodle with rib but my fault going an hour before closing they sold out. I settled on the Crispy Chicken noodle soup with Satay broth. It was a chilly night and wanted a comforting soup. The crispy chicken was solid dark pieces and ordered extra noodles in lieu of veggies. The broth was hot temp (not lukewarm) but a little salty. It was a good compromise. Drinks: Matcha Brûlée topped with cheese foam and creme brûlée most definitely sugar in a cup and beautifully crafted as it reminded me of a frap. Osmanthus Oolong Tea good old faithful oolong floral notes - I would get again and they honor light ice. Dessert: Black Forest with blueberry jam option and add-on panna cotta. It was like a fluffy chocolate pudding ice vibes. It was light in taste on the outside and as one eats the way to the rich chocolate core. Fresh strawberries and almonds offer a sundae presentation. Easily feed 4 people! Service: The place is fairly busy thus ordering from the kiosk is necessary. This can be difficult if one is new and would like personal suggestions and help. The one staff member on bar was overwhelmed and could benefit from more employees in front house with them. Overall: would come again to try the Taiwanese beef noodle with rib during earlier hours!
Such healthy food options!! My favorite is their basil Thai chicken rice entree that comes with the black rice. The beef noodle soup is on the light soup side (healthier not oily) and the oatmeal congee is quite unique. It's truly made of oatmeal. Fried chicken is solid as expected. Service - fast casual Ambiance - fast casual, order and pick up at the counter and sit down. The air indoors could be a little better (a little stuffy indoors)
So sad to see it closed. Hope we can still get the same chicken at class 302 Best wishes to the owner and family
Came here on a Saturday evening and it was packed with people sitting both inside and outside. We ordered on the kiosk and since they had no buzzers left we sat down and waited to be called. It took about 20 mins to get our food. The beef noodle was humongous and super delicious. The noodles had a bite to them and the meat was super tender. The soup was also super flavorful. The basil fried rice was super unique with tons of stuff in it. I like how they use purple rice and you can defiantly taste the basil. The basil is not a light flavor so i wouldn't get it if you're not a huge fan of basil. The chicken pieces in it were also super soft. The popcorn chicken was very good. It was crispy and i was a bit skeptical about it considering they said they use white meat but it was also super tender and the batter was seasoned well. Finally the shaved ice. By this point we were pretty full (3people) since the portions were larger than expected but we have never seen a purple rice shaved ice before so we had to try it. It is unique -- purple rice and red bean along with a scoop of taro on the top. There is also pudding under all the ice. The crystal boba on the side also gave it more texture and was great. Overall super delicious and would come back if i am ever in the area. All the foods are flavored well and have a special twist to their dishes.
Ever After Tearoom & Eatery is a lovely place to have a meal or stop by for dessert. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors for couples or groups. The service was pretty swift! My boyfriend and I came around opening time so we didn't have to wait long for our dessert. We ordered from a kiosk and waited patiently for our pager to buzz. We shared a strawberry matcha snow cake. This shaved ice was creamy and perfectly layered with tiramisu and mocha brûlée. The fresh strawberries added a good tart flavor to the sweet strawberry purée. Every bite was delightful, and the serving size is pretty big. It can feed 2-4 people!
First Visit To Ever After Tearoom & Eatery!! Nice Ambiance & Lovely French Theme Decor!! Great Menu Offerings, Lunch Specials, Appetizers, Chicken, Salmon & Pork Entrees, Noodle Soups, Salads & Shaved Ice Fruit Desserts!! Love The Drink Menu Selections, Fruit Teas, Organic Matcha Lattes, Milk Teas, Blends & Seasonal!! Ordered The Mango Matcha Latte With Pistachio Cream Togo!! Good First Drink!! Plenty Of Indoor & Outdoor Seating!! Service Was Quick & Efficient!! Will Return To Dine & Try The Food Menu & Shaved Ice Desserts!! ThankU read more
I love this snow cake! I really like the way the flavor is in the ice rather than just shaved ice with flavorings on top. The ice is very smooth and soft which I love! All the fruits were ripe and pairs well with the snow. I definitely think it is worth, especially if you go with other people. I would say if you are getting this after dinner, this is a good portion for about 5 people. I enjoy with more than regular bingso. I would definitely recommend this for dessert in the Irvine area! read more
Ever After Tearoom is a quaint cafe with an abundance of tasty Asian fusion food and drinks to choose from--and it's dog friendly, too! I've eaten here twice and have enjoyed my experience on both occasions. Ordering is easy at the kiosk or the register, and you'll get a buzzer that lights up when your order is ready. There's seating both inside and outside, so even during peak hours you'll be able to find somewhere to sit. I've tried their popcorn chicken, sweet potato fries, Hawaiian fried rice, Asian truffle fried rice, and beef noodle soup. Everything was so yummy, and I love how fresh and healthy the fried rice feels since it's very veggie heavy and doesn't use white rice. There's also a self-serve water station which is great too. I haven't tried their drinks yet, so when I come back that'll be what I try out next. Highly recommend giving this place a shot if you haven't already. You won't regret it! read more
Ever After Tearoom & Eatery is a Taiwanese food and sweets shop in Irvine, providing very aesthetic snow cake towers pleasing to both the eye and taste buds. We've tried the following snow cakes: Summer farm (5/5): The best of the best, provides a great blend of tart strawberry, mellow melon, sweet mango, and sweet blueberry sauce with a creme brulee topping. The variety makes it so you won't get tired of it halfway through. Mango carriage (4/5): Despite it being listed as a best seller, we didn't like it as much as the summer farm because it was mostly mango and nothing else. If you're a mango fanatic, this might be for you. Wonderland (3/5): The watermelon based one, it wasn't as bold as other flavors. I guess that makes sense since the fruit doesn't have a potent flavor but it was lacking compared to the other options we've tried. Overall, fun dessert place. I enjoyed it enough to come back multiple times! read more
Nice clean store with plenty of seating. The food smells amazing but I go for the desserts or popcorn chicken. The staff is nice and helpful. I always get the mang carriage and its amazing!! Tried a new matcha pistachio mang dring was good but not great. But the desserts are amazing! read more

Came here on a Friday at noon and it was not busy at all. Ordering was a little difficult bc you order through a kiosk. But I did like how you can customize your food and drink. For example, I got the wonton soup with veggies instead of noodles and light sugar on my milk tea. Ambiance is cafeteria style and they have a dog menu! I have to take my pup next time. Food was tasty! I'll give this place another try. read more
The Mango Carriage and popcorn chicken were a hit once again! Came in on a Saturday night and wasn't too packed. Easy ordering at the kiosk. It does take some time for the food and desserts to come out but it's definitely worth it. Til next time! read more

Refreshing and much needed dessert for the summer! My friends and I tried the matcha strawberry snow cake and it was so refreshing and not too sweet. I loved the way the flavors mixed and this dessert was easily shared between four people. It wasn't too busy the day we went so there was plenty of seating inside. There's a self serve kiosk and we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The inside has lots of "enchanting" decor and the walls were super cute! If I'm ever in Irvine on a hot summer's day, I'll for sure stop by again. read more
First of all this place is dog friendly so bring your pups! But also keep in mind i noticed the restaurant had a dog smell right when I walked in. We could either order in the kiosk or with the cashier, but we went with a person since we wanted to customize our shave snow to remove toppings and add boba. The menu says Class 302 shaved snow, which brought out some nostalgia as it was known for the introduction of shaved snow (not shaved ice!). It was yummy , fluffy, and not overly sweet.. exceeded my expectations for dessert. However some of the mangoes were not ripe but that's ok. The boba was given on the side. I also ordered popcorn chicken- medium spice. It was juicy and included enough basil for the traditional Taiwanese flavor. It was just a tad spicy, I thought medium is typically not too bad, but this place actually put plenty of spice powder on it. Still good and would recommend! Water and utensils were self-served and available on the side. read more
We love the shave ice! This is our go to place for shave ice/shave snow. The ice is so flavorful and fruit/toppings are always fresh. Great balance of everything. We always get the mango. This time we tried the Black Forest which was rich and delicious and well balanced again. Popcorn chicken is a nice savory snack/break from the sweets. This day the snow came out pretty quickly but when they're busy it can take a little longer. Cute decor and seating inside. Remember to bus your own table and bring your dishes to the dirty dish area. We love bringing friends here. read more

Best shaved ice!!! Cute ambiance Great customer service- Our jasmine milk tea sugar level had to be adjusted. They gladly replaced it without a problem. read more
Can't believe this used to be Class 302! I visited this spot with a colleague when deciding on a place to cowork together and grab a bite. They're located pretty close to UCI, so the plaza itself has free wifi. Ever After has a lunch special which is a rice bowl + a drink for about $15+. Their menu mentions how they aim to serve healthier foods, so there's a purple rice option! I got the pork bowl with purple rice, a tea, and it also came with a salad. Everything on that bowl was literally so delicious. The kale salad had a savory dressing that made the kale way less bitter. Ordering is done via kiosk only, and then you get a buzzer that'll notify you when the food is ready for pick up. What I love especially about this place is the interior. It has a study cafe-like set up, and feels very chill. We were able to sit there for a few hours to eat and get some work done. Excited to come back and try more things on their menu! read more

This is probably the best snow in OC. The Mango Carriage is my favorite but the other flavors are good too! Come with friends so you can share a couple different flavors! There's a loyalty program you can join to earn rewards. read more
Came back again! This time my party and I ordered new dishes, such as the taro pork chop and peppercorn ribeye steak! Both proteins were cooked to perfection and were flavored beautifully. Although I'm more of a noodle soup person, the porridge and rice plates were amazing. We finished off with another shaved ice, this time a watermelon flavor! It was very refreshing with fresh watermelon pieces and layers of panna cotta. The restaurant was quite busy with lots of kids running around, but that didn't stop me from getting excellent service from the baristas. Will be back soon! read more
This Asian fusion brunch spot really impressed me with how colorful and creative their dishes are. They bring together bold flavors with beautiful presentation, and it all works. One of the most unique things I tried was the savory oatmeal porridge. It reminded me of traditional congee, but with a twist , the oatmeal texture adds something new while still keeping that comforting, familiar taste. It's not something you see often on brunch menus, and I really enjoyed it. Their snow ice was another standout. There were two types of ice in one bowl : light, fluffy shaved ice cream and milky denser layers in between. The texture was smooth, and the flavors were layered really well. It came topped with fresh fruits and a jelly ball on top. The loaded toppings and the mix of textures really made it different from your usual snowflake ice cream. I also ordered the salmon entrée, which was just okay flavor-wise, but one thing's for sure : it's very, very healthy. The salmon was lightly seasoned and served with kale salad and purple rice. It felt super clean and balanced, perfect if you're looking for something light and nutritious. The space itself is clean, bright, and has a bit of a romantic vibe with how it's decorated. Both inside and outside. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The only heads-up I'd give is that if they get a lot of orders, especially for the snow ice, it can take a while to come out. read more
Love that this establishment love dogs. There's a water bowl and a stand with a menu that I found helpful while having a big dog on leash. The food and drink is just okay. Tried the popcorn chicken, salmon plate, dog meal, milk tea and 4 seasons tea. Out of everything the salmon was the best. It had a light miso like marination and wasn't dry. Eylyssa was very nice and easy to converse with. read more

This is very much a nice and fast serviced restaurant that fits in with the college kids crowd. You order on the tablet and it comes out within 15 minutes. Would be nice if the staff could wipe the tables every so often. The shaved ice was fluffy and delicious with the panna cotta inside as well as on top. Sweet potato fries were also delicious and light while still crispy. The ciopinno was a little disappointing as it didn't have very many toppings. Mostly broth and noodles. Wouldn't recommend but their Taiwanese beef noodle soup was sold out so that must have been better. The Thai basil fried rice was very tasty and mildly spicy but protein does cost extra. It's very unique with the purple rice instead of regular white. Overall, a cute cafe for lunch if you're in the area. read more

This restaurant feels like a new, modern mom--serving up fresh, healthy dishes like grilled salmon salad while keeping tradition alive with bowls of rich Taiwanese beef noodle soup. It's a place where the past and present sit at the same table. Taiwanese food has always been a blend of generations. Mothers and grandmothers brought their flavors from different parts of Asia, their home-cooked meals shaping the island's food culture. Over time, those dishes evolved, mixing the old with the new. My favorite dish here is the taro porridge. It's simple, but every detail is done right--the mushrooms, the diced cabbage, the perfectly softened taro. It tastes like home. Like childhood. And that's something hard to come by. read more
This place was adorable! Loved all the decor and how bright it felt; lots of tables for you to choose from! We ordered the Summer Farm shaved snow dessert, and it was soooo good! The shaved snow itself wasn't too sweet, but the jam, crème brûlée, and fresh fruit were such a great combo and definitely cooled us off from the hot summer day outside. We also liked how everything was self serve, but maybe they might want to add another kiosk to order because sometimes a line can form. read more
This is my go to place for their shave ice! The Summer Farm shave ice is the best and contains a house berry jam (blueberry I believe) and a mix of fruit and condensed milk. The portion size is best for 2 people! I haven't tried their savory dishes but this place is always full. I've also tried the Mango carriage shave ice, but I still always go back to the summer one. 4/5 recommend. Typical cafe ambience and dog friendly. read more
Cute Asian place with tea, shaved ice, and Taiwanese food. My friends and I came here around 11 AM right when it opened, highly recommend coming on the earlier side since there were no seats when we left at 12:30 PM. The ordering is all through kiosk but they have menu books to choose and pick. I got the kale salad and the oolong tea with monk fruit. You get a pager at the front and our food was ready within 10 min. Kale salad was fresh and had fruits, but with it had an option to add protein. Oolong tea was strong in tea flavor but little too much monk fruit (can sub cane sugar with monk fruit). Tried my fiancés fried rice, was greasy but came with black rice and lots of veggies. Also tried my friends chicken porridge and that was solid, wish it came with chili oil. The popcorn chicken was tender and not too greasy. We got the matcha shaved ice after and it is big enough to share between 4-5 people, fresh and had good matcha flavor. Overall solid Asian eatery with health forward dishes. Would love to try the porridge next time. read more

Hi Lily…

I've been thinking for several months that this restaurant's name was due to princesses and fairytale endings. But with a quick visit to their website, they state that a portion of their profits go to an animal shelter so that they can live happily ever after! Well, that just tugs at the heartstrings and makes me like this place even more. The vibe - modern, clean with a large mural of Paris in springtime on one side of the restaurant. Orders are all placed at a kiosk, but you can ask the staff if you want to order in person. When your food is ready, the staff will call for you to come get it. Food comes out on a tray and you grab whatever sharing bowls, utensils, and napkins you need. The food - Mango Carriage - The number one item pictured on Yelp for Ever After is the Mango Carriage, and for good reason. This thing is massive and very cool looking. When I still thought the restaurant was princess themed, I imagined this dessert to be inspired by the Pumpkin Carriage from Cinderella. It's called a "snow cake" and it's a bit hard to describe, but the main component is thin, layered sheets of ice cream. It tastes like mango ice cream but has a very unique texture as if you're eating powdered snow. I could just eat this and be perfectly happy, but in addition to the mango snow, there is Panna Cotta, an assortment of melons and mango, plus a drizzling of condensed milk. The whole concoction is amazing and one of the best things I ate last year. One thing I don't recommend is adding additional toppings. We added strawberries to the order, but since the original dessert barely fits in the bowl, we got what amounted to two strawberries, diced in a separate bowl. Popcorn Chicken - This app is solid. Large pieces of battered and fried chicken breast. The lightly fried basil is a nice touch. Asian Truffle Fried Rice - I liked the flavor and texture of the Asian Truffle Fried Rice. It's got quite a bit more chew to it than normal fried rice due to the black and brown rice. If this entree was presented to me as a healthy inspiration based on fried rice, I would be perfectly happy with the dish. If someone was expecting Fried Rice and got this, we would be getting content for the next Uncle Roger video. Purple Cow with Red Bean and Cheese Foam - I was expecting something like a Taro milk tea. This is in a different galaxy. I would describe it like a real taro smoothie - very thick and slightly sweetened. I thought it was ok. All in all, I think Ever After is fantastic - a healthier spin on some of your Asian cafe favorites. Save room for dessert as the Snow Cakes are delicious. Part of your tab is going toward a good cause so you get to feed your body and soul at the same time! read more
Came for dessert after dinner and ordered the mango carriage and summer farm snow. The summer farm snow has barely any flavor compared to the mango snow, but the ice/snow was soft and fruit was plentiful. A bowl can feed up to four people, so definitely share a bowl. Ordered on a kiosk and waited about 10 minutes to get our order. This place can get a little loud because they get busy but there is indoor and outdoor seating. There is also a food menu, so this is a good one stop shop for a casual outing for lunch/dinner and dessert! We will have to try the food next time. read more
Who doesn't love shaved ice?! We came during a summer day to cool off and this location had so much parking, and a cozy atmosphere. Everyone says this place can be up to a 45 min + wait but we were able to get our shaved ice rather quickly. They shaved ice was a perfect combo with all the mixed in fruit, just what you need on a hot day, or any day really because of how it just melts in your mouth. Kids loved it and we could have ordered another but it comes with plenty for a family of 4. Can't wait to go back again! read more
A dog friendly Taiwanese cafe spot & has both indoor and outdoor seating? With a dog menu that is delicious? Wow! Count me in. Ever After Tearoom is a delightful dog-friendly gem, offering a cozy, welcoming atmosphere where you can enjoy a delicious meal alongside your furry friend. The Beef Noodle Soup with Rib Leg is a standout, with tender, flavorful beef and a rich broth that's perfect for any soup lover. The Pork Chop Rice is another highlight--crispy, juicy pork chop paired with fragrant rice that makes for a satisfying and comforting dish. For something a bit different, the Popcorn Chicken Noodles are, savory, and packed with flavor, making them a fun and tasty option. I'd def recommend the popcorn chicken getting into the side and then just getting noodles it got a bit soggy in the noodles. All in all, with great food and a welcoming vibe for both humans and dogs, Ever After Tearoom is a must-visit for a cozy meal out! Service you use a tablet to order but they had the menu is lots of options! read more
Really nice decor that makes ordering at the counter like a fast food joint less fast food like. You get a buzzer to notify you when your order is ready. We dined in and it does get busy but there are indoor and outdoor dining tables. My friend really likes the Asian truffle fried rice so we both ordered the same. It's definitely a different flavor from traditional Chinese fried rice: uses purple rice, and has green onion, bamboo shoots, chicken, mushrooms and red cabbage, goji berries. What a great way to incorporate goji berries into a dish. It is healthy dining, delicious and was about $17.95. Per friendly too and easy parking. Near UCI and saw a lot of students around. read more
Entrees are ok, nothing to rave about. Their "mild" fried calamari is spicy. I would rate their shaved ice 5 stars. The matcha flavored one is the best! My friends ordered the mango one and it was too sweet for me. Tip: try to look at the menu beforehand so you can place your order quickly. They only have 1 kiosk to order from and it can easily hold up the line. read more
Can't tell you much about their actual entree foods, but I can tell you that snow/ice that we have had here is so fluffy and yummy! It is the perfect dessert place to end a date night. There is a self-ordering kiosk at the front or you can order ahead online for pick up. You'll get a pager after ordering at the kiosk. Parking is pretty easy at night time. We have tried various snows here such as the Mango Carriage, Honest Taro, and Mango Tiramisu. Can't go wrong with any of them depending on your preference and taste for the day. Be warned, the portions are quite large! They also have extra utensils on the side for you to use. One honorable mention that we really liked here was the Rose Hot Chocolate. It is so decadent and amazing for a cold winter day. Highly recommend if you are wanting something warm, but not caffeinated. Maybe one day we will come back to eat their entrees, but for now we will enjoy our desserts! read more
We love coming here for food! The main dishes are so healthy and yummy. We've come during lunch time for their lunch meals and have enjoyed all of the options! We've got chicken and salmon last and our kids loved them! As much as we love the food though, you just cannot beat the dessert. We literally come just for shaved ice because it's so good and refreshing for that hot summer day. The cashiers are also super attentive and helpful. If you can find seating inside this is also a great place to sit in at. Everything is so nice and clean. Love coming here! read more
Came here for the first time for take out because I wanted to try something on the healthier side. I got the lunch pork cutlet with purple rice. It came with a tea drink. Also a beef noodle soup. Waited around 15 mins and food was ready. Pork cutlet 4/5. I didn't like the purple rice but my husband liked it. Beef noodle soup. 5/5 It was flavorful with plenty of ingredients. Plenty of parking in the lot. Friendly services. Beautiful interior with several tables for dine in. There is also an outdoor patio as well. Definitely will come back again and try their other menu items. read more
I must have come on the wrong day. What I ate didn't match to the good reviews I saw. The menu picture for miso salmon showed 2 pieces of salmon that occupied almost half the plate. What I got was 2 small pieces that were small that they covered 1/4th of the plate at best. Ribeye steak wasn't cooked nicely. The steak needed to be grilled longer. The color wasn't brown enough. Asian truffle rice was misleading. There was no truffle in it if you read the description but that was not the issue. The main ingredient was black sesame oil. Sadly, the dish was light on that. There was a dish that was not bad though. It was the beef noodle soup. The soup flavor was pretty spot on. Beef was tender too. I think this place was probably better for their shaved ice dishes I guess. read more

Family approved! This environment is very welcoming and has a calm ambiance. From the food, to the dessert, this place delivers quality ever time. My favorite food here is the Pacific Ocean oatmeal porridge and any of the noodles. My favorite dessert is the matcha bingsoo. They are so generous with toppings and the texture of the shaved ice is truly addicting. They also welcome pets and offer dog food options on their menu! Will be coming back here forever read more

This is definitely the spot to hangout with your friends to study or just to chat! I used the tablet to order my items which was really easy to use, it was very detailed so I could adjust to my liking. I haven't tried their food yet but their desserts and drinks DEFINITELY DELICIOUS! I loved the Mango shaved ice cream it was so good. read more
Taiwanese food with a modern twist and subpar boba. Came through for some late lunch with some Taiwanese friends straight from the airport. Ever After is SUCH a vibe, with dog-friendly outdoor seating and loads of indoor seating for families, groups, or solo dining. Ordering is contactless via the touchpad, and the menu is extensive. We wanted to eat everything. We shared the beef noodle soup and their basil rice dish, and among the three of us it left us feeling satisfied and not overly full. The winner was definitely the rice specials. Their niu rou mian was tasty, but nothing hits like that street vendor spot at the Taipei 101 MRT stop. Their boba drinks look good, but honestly the boba pearls weren't QQ, the texture wasn't quite there. Mango flavors are yummy, and milk teas satiated the boba cravings. Restrooms are clean, and love that it's bus yours plates afterwards. Everything is pretty much self-serve, but there are staff behind the counter if you have questions. It keeps diners accountable for their trash and their food waste! Next time I'm in the O.C. area I'll definitely have a taste of their bao bing/shave ice! Great healthy Taiwanese food spot for the fam and groups! read more
We came here for shaved ice and got the mango carriage to share between 4 people. It was a decent size for $15 and there was an assortment of fruits for the topping. At first it tasted pretty good but maybe halfway through, the texture started becoming too creamy for my liking. There was also a slight graininess it as well. Overall, it was a good experience. Probably will come back to try their food items instead. read more

Ask the Community - Ever After Tearoom & Eatery
Can it accommodate group of 10?
The dining room has more than enough seating, but you probably have to push together two tables to seat 10 together.
Are the beef noodle soup's ingredients like beef, vegetables and noodles organic?
No, they are not. However, our dishes are light on oil, and the broth is simmered with fresh vegetables for over eight hours to bring out the most nutritious flavors.
Is this cafe cat friendly as well? I'd like to bring mine in a stroller. :)
Yes we are
Do you have many vegetarian options besides the spicy Thai fried rice?
We have other options, such as Hawaiian fried rice with tofu, vegetarian oatmeal porridge, and vegetarian fried rice
Is the snow ice dairy or nondairy?
They are dairy. However the oat milk snow contains very minimal dairy compare to other flavors.
Has anyone brought other pets here before? I usually only see people bring their dogs here
Good morning I have not seen any customers bring their pets other than dogs so far :)
