    Too cute!!!
    Mare B.

    I never really gave anything matcha a chance...until now. We happened to explore the grounds after eating nearby and saw this place. Super friendly and helpful service the afternoon we came, especially for our first time visit. My husband and I adore Charlie Brown & Friends, and Snoopy of course, so we appreciated the interior decor. We later found out they were doing a collab with the Peanuts Gang's Journey to Japan...too cute! Order up: - Strawberry Vanilla Latte (iced, and yay for double espresso) - Blended Chocolate Hazelnut Matcha (yum!) Perfect spot to end with dessert...there's always room! CHEERS and happy eating till next time...

    Vanilla matcha swirl

    Junbi is a pretty cool spot as the cottages. Went in the evening and parking was no issue. Got myself a vanilla matcha swirl. Easy to eat. Not too sweet. Came with a dust and I picked Matcha. Also comes with a topping and I got granola that was a bit stale. Overall decent experience. It's cash only fyi. There is a nice patio and outdoor area. Which is dog friendly confirmed by the staff.

    Visited for an event. Parking was a bit challenging due to the limited park spaces, mostly curb parking. After walking in, I like the open space in front of the counter and there were a lot of seatings. Staff was very friendly. Girl at the counter helped us guide through the menu and was informative of each item. Ordered a matcha latte drink and some riceballs. Both drinks and riceballs were okay and unfortunately nothing very exciting. Would recommend to stop by and check out.

    Ive seen this place around so I was excited to try their matcha but I was very disappointed. They had a big selection of matcha drinks but I thought I'd just go with the Cold Ganbaru Ceremonial Matcha to see how it was without a fruit flavor mixed in and it just tasted very watery/milky. I hardly tasted any matcha flavor. Not sure if it was an off day but for $6.75 I was expecting more than watery milk.

    The whole place was completely empty on a Sunday afternoon around 4 pm so putting in my order and them making my drink was extremely quick. Just stopped by for a quick refreshing drink after having a heavy bbq lunch. Chose the Yuzu Dragonfruit Jasmine Green Tea ($7) which is usually a go-to for me. I get it "less sweet" IF you're trying to watch your sugar intake lol. The sweetness that comes from whatever yuzu concentrate they're using and dragonfruit blend/puree is enough sweetness for me! It was crisp and refreshing as a whole! I especially love sipping the top layer first of the brewed jasmine green tea before mixing it all together. They have seating inside as well as outside. Everything was open, bright, clean and inviting!

    Finally got to try Junbi and wow talk about convenience of having a coffee/matcha spot next to a play area.. great place for a play date where parents can get their caffeine fix and kiddos can roam and play Love that they have a big variety menu and even have soft serve! Definitely my kind of jam.. staff here are all very nice.. got to try the new cold foam series and tried the strawberry cold foam matcha.. I have to say, it's just ok, perhaps it a new item.. I might opt for the strawberry matcha latte next time. Also got to try the dirty matcha which comes with 2 espresso shots definitely much needed. Is it the best matcha? So hard especially living in OC where the competition is high and has so many other good options but definitely a top spot for all around for space, convenience and variety Highly recommend

    Yuzu dragonfruit jasmine tea - very refreshing, tad sour, would definitely get again especially on a hot day Matcha + Hojicha Latte - got it with coconut milk which was kind of overpowering so I'll stick to oat milk or regular Drinks are kinda expensive though and small for the price. At least we're really tasty though. Service was great and workers very friendly with recommendations

    Junbi never misses! I tried the strawberry foam matcha and instead did my usual strawberry matcha latte with the strawberry puree. Both shine on their own, the strawberry foam makes the matcha much creamier and lighter in color. The puree has a stronger strawberry flavor but still can taste the matcha, it doesn't lighten up as much as the foam. Both tasty, it all depends on preference! Also did the drive up option this time around! Didn't seem too busy or loud inside. Staff is always kind and efficient, love coming here.

    Stumbled into Junbi a few minutes before their 9pm closing like the chaotic caffeine goblins we are, and wow, what a glow-up!! The place is spotless and there's a self-order kiosk so you can pretend you're tech-savvy while aggressively craving matcha. Obviously we upgraded to ceremonial grade matcha because once you've tasted the fancy grass, there's no returning to peasant powder!! Ordered a classic matcha latte and a strawberry cold foam matcha latte, both living their best, bougie lives. And that first sip? Absolute flavor fireworks!!! Great spot for delicious ceremonial-grade matcha!!

    I've visited this Junbi location a couple of times now; the staff is always nice and the place is kept clean. I really enjoy the outdoor patio here and it was especially fun visiting during their Peanuts event! I liked their hojicha hazelnut drink. Their matcha is good but not my favorite here so I often opt for the hojicha or something fruity instead. Parking can be tough depending on what time you go but since it's located in a neighborhood area there is sure to be sidestreet parking if you're willing to walk a bit.

    This spot is located on a neighborhood street. It's really nice because they have a big outdoor area with tables, tents, and restaurants and shops. Parking is limited and so we had to park in the neighborhood and walk over. I had a voucher for a buy two get one free drink. I'm caffeine sensitive so I appreciate they had separate menu for non-caffeine! I ordered the guava refresher and it was definitely refreshing! I did get to try their matcha and it's delicious. They also have soft serve and rice balls. There's a kiosk you can order from or you can order from the register.

    Yum yum yum! So happy Junbi opened here in Cottage Industries because the outside play area was always amazing but we needed a place for good drinks, desserts and snacks for both adults and kids. And now we can find all of that here! Service is always on-point - very friendly and attentive to the customers - and the aesthetics of the store is clean, bright and modern. Drinks: I love their guava matcha cold brew. This is my go-to and it is always delicious! I get with less ice and less sweet and I love it. Soft serve: - We get the vanilla soft serve for my son. It's very creamy and thick - a wonderful consistency! It comes with a topping and dusting so we get the granola and cocoa. - For adults, their matcha soft serve is so good! You can taste the quality of the matcha. Today we tried the Mango Mission matcha and I love that it's mango puree on it (not syrup) and the flavor goes so well together. It does melt super fast and drip all over the place so be ready to eat it right away when it's ready. Food: - Rice ball flight - I'm so thankful they have kid-friendly food here so I know we can go to Cottage Industries to play anytime and not worry about my son getting hungry. He loves salmon rice balls so this is perfect for us. It is filling enough when he's hungry from running around and I feel good about the nutrition he gets from salmon. I tried the mentaiko rice ball today in our flight and it's so good (my personal favorite)! They wrap the rice in plastic so the seaweed doesn't get soggy until you're ready to eat. - Dubai chewy cookie. I was trying to resist since they aren't cheap ($9 each) but finally caved since they look so delicious! Totally did not disappoint. So soft and chewy on the outside and crunchy inside. They are made in-house fresh daily - must try at least once!

    Guava matcha latte is my new fave. Servuce is always helpful and friendly. Great outdoor space as well. If you cam get your hands on the cookies...Lucky you, good stuff. The rice balls are also amazing

    Matcha Night Gone WRONG…read more.. After a delicious pho run, hubby and I were craving something sweet and wanted to try somewhere new. Hubby wasn't feeling the drive to Joe's, so naturally I opened Yelp and started hunting. We stumbled upon this spot located in a pretty busy plaza with restaurants, karaoke, pool tables, and bars, so there's definitely plenty happening around here for a fun night out. Unfortunately... the dessert was where the fun ended. Matcha Shaved Ice + Matcha/Hojicha Soft Serve -- $13.50 | 2/10 I was really looking forward to this one, but unfortunately it was a major miss for me. First, they were already out of red beans at 8pm, so I had to substitute them with waffle crumbs. Not a huge deal, but definitely not what I originally wanted. The bigger issue was the shaved ice itself. A good shaved ice should have that soft, fluffy, almost snow-like texture where the flavor is incorporated throughout the ice rather than feeling like you're just eating a pile of crunchy ice with syrup poured over the top. The best ones almost melt in your mouth and create that creamy, refreshing texture when paired with condensed milk, toppings, or soft serve. This one? Not that. The ice was extremely icy and hard, and it honestly tasted like they just poured matcha-flavored water/syrup over a mountain of ice. The matcha flavor didn't really soak into the shaved ice the way I expected, so instead of getting that smooth matcha flavor throughout every bite, I was getting... ice. The soft serve was probably the "better" part, but even with the matcha and hojicha soft serve mixed in, it couldn't save the shaved ice for me. And the mochi balls? SO squishy. I normally LOVE mochi, but these were not doing it for me tonight. It was fat & it just felt like a fat wet dough-ball. The biggest problem? We threw away more than 3/4 of it. And if you know me, you know I usually have a very hard time wasting dessert, or any food in general. I honestly haven't had a dessert this disappointing in quite some time. Would I come back? Nope. Would I recommend it? Unfortunately, no. Was the plaza fun? Absolutely! Maybe we just caught them on an off night, but based on this experience, I'll be sticking to my other shaved ice spots. Happy Desserts... but tonight, barely.

Oh yea I thought this dessert will be just a normal size but I guess that's why it has an XL on it haha.. we surely underestimated the size lol. They specialized on Durian ice cream and I've been craving it since meeting my girl :) I got the craving because of her and now I cannot stop thinking about it whenever she mentioned an ice cream flavor. The avocado and durian combination is top tier :) Whoever thought about it is a genius cause it really blends in well with the flavor. My girl and I really enjoy this place and will be back for more fosho :) Overall, definitely a recommendation to people that loves Durian fruit :)

There aren't a ton of tables outside. But honestly, that's part of the charm. You'll see people hanging out.. chatting..standing with their ice cream or eating it in their cars which is the full immersive experience Inside seating is available, but when it gets busy, the place has a fun energy with people coming and going, all united by the pursuit of excellent soft serve. If you've never been, do yourself a favor and go. And if you're wondering what to order, Cookies & Cream with Oreo, coconut flakes, and Nutella is a life decision you probably won't regret.

The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

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.
