    Strawberry matcha with boba
    Cassie K.

    This place is so good for a shop so hidden away! I came during my lunch break and luckily it's right around the corner. The shop was quiet and empty but there was a lady working in the back. Once I decided on my order, I rang the little bell in the counter and she came right out. You have the try the strawberry matcha with boba!! I'm not sure what exact kind of boba she used but it's SO good, it almost tastes like brown sugar boba instead of plain cassava boba. I will be coming back to try more of their menu, I have my eye on the panna cotta! :)

    Roasted Matcha Rice Latte with oat milk

    Came by on a very hot Saturday afternoon and wanted to try Kinako shave ice and the Roasted Matcha Latte. Both were amazingly good, especially on a very hot day! The Kinako shaved ice was filled with mochi which was a nice surprise and the roasted matcha was smooth. The owner was really sweet and patient! Definitely will come back for the shaved ice :D

    Hojicha latte

    Great Hojicha latte. They seem to use brown sugar which is healthy. Friendly staff, easy to park, no long queue

    Mango shaved ice cream

    New favorite shaved ice in the bay! My biggest pet peeve is when shaved ice relies on ice cream and minimal fruit but you won't get that here. There was fresh mango in every bite, simply delicious and not too sweet in an artificial way. Decor and ambiance is very mom-and-pop small shop which we loved. Service was prompt and very nice too. Already craving it and wanting to come back!

    Honeycomb Latte ($6.75 regular)

    Little small mom and pop shop in the plaza with Burger King. They have various sizes for the drinks (small, regular, large), and a regular specialty latte ran to about $6.75. Prices are not clearly listed on the menu. Their coffee has quite the bitter aftertaste, so I'd be very curious to try their hojicha and especially the bingsu! PASS: + Honeycomb latte ($6.75 regular) has toasted honey and sugar topping, which melts into the drink about 30-46 min later and helps offset the bitterness. Didn't blow me away though because it just tasted like a plain latte with low quality espresso afterwards

    We came in on a Sunday morning and it was not busy and in an unassuming plaza. The lady working was very friendly and we ordered a strawberry matcha and a honeycomb latte. The matcha color was good but it was on the sweeter end probably because of the strawberry jam but it overconsumed the matcha flavor. He got the honeycomb coffee and it was strong and had huge chunks of honeycomb that we weren't sure if it would break down. But it eventually did in about 30 min. The drinks were okay and weren't super impressive but it was worth a try!

    I had high hoped for Kamurocho. It's an unassuming cafe that has a relatively simple menu. However, I was incredibly disappointed by their roasted matcha rice latte. I ordered it with regular milk, hoping to get the flavor of matcha more, but instead the drink tasted like roasted rice and milk. There was absolutely no hint of matcha. Definitely would not recommend for matcha enthusiasts.

    First of all, the owner is so sweet! She greets you with the most radiant smile. Second of all, these drinks are STRONG. If you aren't a regular coffee drinker, it'll hitttt. Our favorite was the kamo, which the owner freshly and perfectly whisked the matcha for. The honeycomb latte was good but I would have preferred smaller chunks so it can fit in the straw. The espresso is rich and the perfect temp. And you can buy matcha to go! A chill spot with cute little anime decor for my nerds, which I am one so I loved seeing the Pokemon cards and whatnot. Will definitely be returning.

    Kinako kakigori
    Judy C.

    I was looking for Japanese shaved ice in the Bay Area and outside of SF, this is one of the few around. While passing through the area on a warm day with my parents, I remembered I had this place bookmarked so we stopped in for a bit. It was empty when we walked in. We ordered two different shaved ice flavors. A bunch of kids subsequently came in after us so the nice lady had to take their orders before she was able to work on our order. We liked both flavors with my mom liking the mango better and my dad liking the kinako better. The ice was so soft and delicate and such a great treat on a warm day.

    Kamurocho- is not the fanciest cafe in the world. But man, it's comfy. We dropped by on fairly quiet, rainy afternoon. There was a large group leaving the cafe, and I thought that was a pretty good sign. We walked inside and found an unassuming interior- but funny enough I grew up visiting many homes that felt the way Kamurocho feels. After taking our order, the lady behind the counter (the owner?) began hand-whisking tea for our lattes. I can still hear the brush swirling around the bowl. We received our order a few minutes later- Mango Kakigori, Black Kamo (espresso & hojicha) Latte, and an Iced Hojicha. The kids devoured their shaved ice while the adults sipped up some tea goodness. It was quiet. There was no music. I don't even know if they have a bathroom or wifi. But we felt at home, at ease. Not every place can do that for you. Thanks for that Team Kamurocho!

    Honeycomb latte
    Wing K.

    Been hearing about this place and finally went under the hot weather to cool down. We got a tiramisu and mango shaved ice and a honeycomb latte. There's only the owner at the time, so the service was a bit slow. She did alternated between orders and we got a shaved ice to enjoy while waiting for the other items. The shaved ice were delicious and amazing! It's airy, soft, and flavorful. The tiramisu shaved ice has cocoa powder and coffee poured over it with boba in the center. The boba tasted so much softer than the regular store-brought boba. The mango shaved ice just has mango syrup poured over it and tasted very refreshing. The honeycomb latte was good and smooth. The sweetness increase as the honeycomb melts into the coffee. The price ($35 total) was on the expensive side but we think the flavors made up for it.

    Iced roasted rice matcha with brown sugar and a cream top which
    Ellyzha A.

    It's been a while since I've last been here (about 2 years) so I was excited to see all the new drinks they had (particularly matcha drinks). Parking is easy as it's located in a plaza and fairly close to the freeway. It's spacious inside with a good amount of seating. I went at around 11:30am on a Saturday right before my movie and there were a few people waiting for their drinks. Drinks were made quickly! I ordered an iced roasted rice matcha latte with oat milk and sweetened with brown sugar then asked if they had a cream top which they were kind enough to do! Service was super awesome and helpful. I would've loved if the matcha was more of a vibrant green but I really enjoyed the roasted rice flavor. Definitely come on by as they have an array of drinks and desserts!

    It's a small space, not much ambience and it's a one person operation, but that doesn't stop them from making everything to order. We had the mango kakigori and it was amazing. I also got a strawberry matcha drink, I wasn't so familiar with that combo of flavors in a drink but after some sips I enjoyed it.

I've been a huge fan since I first tried their frozen concoction over a decade ago, and I haven't found anything comparable since. As expected, the place was poppin with people when we got there on a toasty afternoon. Although there was a bit of a line, it moved pretty quickly, and we were able to order in no time. I ended up getting the No Ka Oi with coconut ice cream in the middle, mochi topping, and li hing mui powder on top. Just as Ululani quoted in its tagline, "all shave ice is not created equal", not all Ululani shave ice locations are equally good. Maybe it's just a one-off, but I feel like the shave ice I got here didn't taste as good as the one in Maui. Some parts of the ice texture were also coarser than I remembered. I still like it, but maybe I'll stick to my Local Motion mix next time.
