    Strawberry ice cream with Oreo and Reese's (milk base: whole)
    Briana N.

    This is such a random spot, but I'm not necessarily complaining. You've got the very American feeling ice cream area. But then you've also got the counter selling taiyaki and tteokbokki while Kpop is playing, the walls are decorated with BTS, and they have a self serve ramen station next to Korean drinks. Kind of a one stop shop I guess lol. But I was disappointed to find that they were not selling taiyaki at the time, which is what I really wanted to try. So ice cream it was. Only to then find out they were also out of the yogurt base. So we ended up ordering the whole milk base. While the ice cream came out pretty and delicious, I was not expecting for them to roll it the way they did. Other yelp pictures had indicated it would be in scoops. And the rolls aren't a bad thing but it was in such a small container that it was so hard to eat without making a huge mess.

    Where do I start? So this place has a variety of things. Their rolled ice cream is quite unique. It's similar to those rolled ice creams you see on the Internet but they just don't roll it. They mix the toppings in and chop it upm it's very interesting to watch. They also have a wonderful selection of flavors. I'm a huge fan of the lavender.  They also sell tteobokki, a Korean rice cake and fishcake mix. It's similar tasting to what I made when I was first learning to make the dish. I can't say it's amazing, but it's VERY REASONABLY PRICED. I wouldn't bash it. They also sell various kimchi's and even japchae, but I haven't tried those yet. Their taiyaki is made to order and seriously a star of this store. Yes taiyaki is just fish shaped pancakes with a filling, but they're fresh, crispy, and generous with their filling. Would recommend! I would take a pass on the onigiri. The ride is hard and it's probably been in the counter fridge for a couple of days. It's not bad, but I wouldn't get it again.  Everything I've eaten here tends to be on the sweeter side, so if you're into sweeter foods then this place would be for you.  The ambience of this place is less of a cafe and more of a quick service sit down. They have kpop playing on a TV by the door, and decorated with children's coloring pages. Quaint.  To be honest it feels like parents opened this store for their child to try to run a business. Is what I get from it. However, I must say that the food is SO WELL PRICED. I keep coming back because it's such a good deal and they do well with their desserts. I may pass of the savory foods, but the people are calm and nice. Service is fine. Judging service, food, and price this place is well worth it.

    Rolled Ice Cream

    We love to take Fridays to do a family afternoon out and we take turns trying new ice cream places. Today we landed on five Fx and it was great. Quick efficient service and amazing ice cream. We highly recommend the rolled ice cream and the taiyaki.

    Very eclectic sort of place with deceivingly good ice cream! Five FX has great reviews on Yelp which is the main reason I wanted to check it out, and it did not disappoint. You can only choose one flavor at a time with up to 2 sugary candy or fruit toppings. I got Reese's PB cups and m&ms with white chocolate ice cream and it was delicious! The friends I was with all got fruit or Oreos in their ice creams and also really enjoyed. The ice cream was very very creamy and rich and was just (as I said deceivingly) high quality and delicious. Despite the inside being very odd, I will 100% be back for more ice cream!

    My wife and I were on that side of town and saw the Five Fx Ice Cream Shop and decided we had to try it. Honestly we were disappointed in the ice cream. I got the apple-banana with a waffle cone. I decided to try it with almond milk (because I'm lactose intolerant). It didn't have much flavor at all. It barely had the banana flavor and tasted zero apple. Tasted real watered down. The waffle cone was good and good flavor. My wife got the lavender ice cream with strawberries and almond milk. She had two bites and said it was very watered down. She didn't even finish it which was a waste of money. Really not sure what we should have gotten. We both felt the decor for the shop was old and didn't have any theme other than maybe Korean. Had some Korean boy band posters on the wall and tv playing Korean boy band videos but couldn't hear the sound. It was just ok and does have potential. Not sure we will be back only because we live way on the other side of town.

    The ice cream is good. The interior of the ice cream shop could really use some work.

    Mango and coconut ice cream with Nutella Tiyaki
    Jenny H.

    First time experiencing Tiyaki and it tasted amazing I am a big fan foodie for anything waffle, so this combination between waffle and melted Nutella was delish! The nice Korean lady in the shop was super adorable and made our ice cream by hand; in which, I wasn't aware of them doing that there but it added to the experience as both flavors were what we anticipated Definitely better than a ColdStone ice cream! There were many options of toppings and flavors too! We'll be back for more

    Ramen area?

    The ice cream was good but the way the signs were was overwhelming. It took a minute to figure things out. You have to tell them sooo many options--ice cream flavor, type of ice cream and then toppings. It would have been so much more helpful if I would have been given a form to choose and fill out. My husband was also overwhelmed with the ordering. I'm glad there was no one else in line or we may have left. They also had what appeared to be a self making ramen area but there was no signage or bowls. The portions were large and it was good but the signage ordering part was a huge turnoff.

    Inside
    Leah A.

    What is going on with this place.. this once used to be the Asian dessert spot to go to. One look inside this place and there is no doubt that it is very much neglected. Menus are handwritten and taped on the wall.. some are hanging on the ceiling.. some items are just scribbled/crossed out if no longer available. I feel like there are post-it notes everywhere. This place looks like the live version of a chicken scratch notepad someone used with personal notes and scribbles all over the place. Nothing is tidy, nothing appears clean, and it's just a big hot mess all over the place. I don't even wanna mention cleanliness. It's quite questionable how they truly keep the place clean. Everything is stained, burnt, greased.. I'll stop there but you get the picture. We only ordered taiyakis today and I have attached a picture of what that looks like. If that isn't the epitome of "we don't care anymore", then I don't know what is. Very surprised this place is still running but maybe because it's the only taiyaki place here. Would not return.

    Taro with oreo
    Alisa J.

    Love this little place - was craving ice cream despite the cold weather but wanted something not so standard for flavors. This place ticked the box with taro! Hubby got coconut which was also tasty. Beware: the small portion is still generous and I couldn't eat more than half as we'd also been out for dinner. The taiyaki also looked and smelled great and I definitely want to try one next time. The ladies working here were also helpful and sweet.

    Taro waffle
    LaShawn T.

    The place isn't that attractive upon entering, but the coconut ice cream was delish. The taro (the only filling made in-house) waffle was also good. I think they need to have more homemade fillings instead of stuff from a can/jar. The server was working solo and did a great job handling customers.

    Nutella with Marshmallows and White Chocolate Chips
    Sophia V.

    I got the Nutella with Marshmallows and White Chocolate chips, and it was delicious. I only got a small but it was huge for a small. The cashier was very nice to us and helped us order. The place is cute, very child-like, so it's perfect for kids. Full of colors and vibrant. We definitely recommend coming here, ITS GREAT!

    Tekia H.

    I've been to this establishment once before, and it was super busy. This time it was relatively slow. Maybe because it is the dead of winter. Originally, I came here to get the rolled ice cream, but they don't do that here. The ice cream was nice and light. You have an option to pick 2 non fruit choices or 1 fruit choice as a topping. The ice cream was then mixed on the cold stone with your selection of cream base. The ice cream was also served in a waffle cone at no additional cost. Also, available were Taiyaki which are fish shaped pastry with filling in them. I didn't get a chance to try one this time, but I had one in the past here and it was pretty tasty from what I remembered.

    Cinnamon/whole milk/marshmallow/Reese's...probably wouldn't go cinnamon again (too much like "red hots" and less like the spice

    I can't have dairy, but i'd love to try taiyaki Does anyone know if the taiyaki fillings or batter have dairy in it? Has anyone ever asked if they can be made vegan?

    I know they have non dairy fillings. But the batter has eggs for sure.

    I can't believe we've gone this long without trying Dreamette!…read more We were in the Springfield area for dinner and decided to walk around the neighborhood to admire the beautiful homes. Of course, we had to end the evening with ice cream, so we purposely made our way to Dreamette. The line was long, which is always a good sign, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The menu has so many tempting options that I had a hard time deciding. Thankfully, the wonderful Mari came to the rescue! I asked about their bread puddings, and she recommended the pecan bread pudding, telling me it's made fresh from Biscotti's (if I remember correctly). That was all I needed to hear. Even though I was completely stuffed from dinner, I somehow managed to eat every last bite. It was rich, warm, buttery, and absolutely decadent. My husband took Mari's recommendation and ordered a vanilla mix-in with cookie dough and waffle cone pieces blended throughout instead of just a waffle bowl. He loved it and said the blended waffle cone added the perfect crunch in every bite. Now I'm wondering where the closest Dreamette is to us because this definitely won't be our last visit!
