    Decided to come here for a sweet treat after dinner. I ordered the Thai tea rolled ice cream with Oreo crushed in and condensed milk and mochi toppings. Once I ordered, the worker got to work rolling it right away so my ice cream came out really fast. You can taste the Thai tea flavor in the ice cream but I wish it was a bit stronger as the Oreo really muddled the flavor. The mochi is a nice added texture too. My friend ordered a scoop of ice cream and omg you def need to share it because the scoop was huge and they did not finish it. I would say it is really worth your money for the rolled ice cream but I would definitely be back for the scooped ice cream.

    Kweens is a solid dessert stop in the downtown Mountain View. The location is pretty convenient for a date or hang out because you swing by after lunch or dinner nearby. The space is a pretty good size with several tables, so it works well whether you're coming as a couple or with a small group. I tried the ube ice cream and really enjoyed it. It's creamy and not too sweet. They also have a bunch of different options on the menu, which is always nice if you're with people who want to try different things. Rolled ice cream can sometimes take a while, but my order came out faster than expected. Service was good and friendly overall.

    In the heart of DT MV, a cute ice cream shop lies with the cutest and most knowledgeable Kween's staff, Ashley and I'm sorry but forgot the girl's name. The shop has plenty of seating, cute IG photo worthy signs, and definitely many dessert combos to choose from! They have ice cream Sammie's, scoops, rolls, shakes, and more! Totally loved how they customize their desserts too! Our faves were the Thai tea, ube, and Oreos rolls! Such a great treat this Christmas

    Yummy rolled ice!! Got the Thai iced tea with mochi topping. Originally they forgot to add it in but when I went up to ask for it they quickly added it in for me. Yapped with friends for an hour or so so great yapping place HAHA they had this one light that would not stop swinging and it was mesmerizing at times...

    I've had my eye on this place since it changed names and I finally got to go recently! They have tons of options for mix-ins and toppings so you can really go crazy. I got the cookie butter base which was excellent. I always enjoy rolled ice cream and this was really good! I'd definitely come back.

    Kween's Ice Cream had excellent service, a warm and welcoming ambience, and some of the sweetest, most delicious ice cream I've ever had!

    Was craving ice cream, after eating sushi next door. It was raining when I went so it wasn't so busy. They had a nice selection of ice cream to choose from, and toppings. I settled for some ube, with coconut flakes, and mochi bites. It's a good spot if your're in the downtown Mt. view area and craving some ice cream

    The lines are long but seem to move fast. They have both normal ice cream and the fancy rolled ice cream made in front of you once ordered. Plenty of tables for seating!

    I came here two days in a row with one simple mission: get a shake. That's it. But both times I was met with the same crushing news--the blender is broken. Cue heartbreak. Now, I'll admit--I'm not a regular at independent ice cream shops, so walking into a spot with a split menu (rolled vs regular ice cream, with different flavor options for each) kind of sent me into decision paralysis. I was already disappointed about the shake, and trying to decode the menu on the fly made me a little anxious. So what did I do? I panic-ordered. Ended up with cookie dough ice cream, crushed Oreos, and what I can only describe as a pleasantly reckless amount of Nutella. (Nutella makes everything better.) Fingers crossed the blender is up and running next time. And hoping this isn't one of those "McDonald's ice cream machine is 'broken' because nobody wants to clean it" situations (kidding...mostly ).

    I really wanted to like Kween's more. I like the idea of rolled ice cream. Watching the folks make it was fun. It's Benihana...for ice cream. However, the ice cream I got Oreo was not very flavorful. It was creamy in texture, but not much in the way of flavor. It was a bit of a surprise. Service was good that the team member that served me was helpful in making a suggestion. Everyone there was nice. I guess I will have to give them another try. Here's a pic.

    You would think since it's winter now, I wouldn't be craving ice cream, but this didn't apply last night! I swung by Kween's last night around 6-7pm. The workers were so nice and patient while I figured out what I wanted to order. I ordered ube ice cream rolls as my base with toasted coconut flakes and Oreos as my mix-ins topped with mochi. This is the elite combo if you ask me!!! The flavors all worked perfectly together and when I come back, I'll be ordering this exact thing! Def give Kween's a try if you're in the area!

    Awesome ice cream! Had the cookie butter with oreo flavor and it was great!! Will stop by again~!

    Nice little vegetarian lunch spot that I keep forgetting is out there! I came with my veg coworker…read moreand we both enjoyed what we got. I got their ja jang mien, and I really liked it--especially the thick, chewy noodles! My coworker got General Tso's, and we also got some veggie dumplings to share. The dumplings were a bit on the bland side, but otherwise good. Service was relatively quick. The interior is clean and well kept (I guess more than you'd think looking at the little strip it is part of), and the wait staff are friendly. The parking lot for the strip mall this is in is on the small side, though, and may be tough to find parking during the lunch rush if you don't arrive early (and I would highly suggest carpooling). Tasty and friendly, I need to remember to suggest this place for lunch more often over the closer places we tend to think of first! I will definitely be back!

    I was running some errands nearby, so I decided to grab takeout. I went with General's Chicken and…read moreBlack Pepper Chicken Chow Mein. When I arrived, there were plenty of parking spots, and the restaurant was empty. The parking lot is a bit small, so I imagine it can be tricky to find a spot when it's busy. I can't say much about the ambiance or service because it was a quick in-and-out experience. When I got to my car, I immediately vented the General's Chicken container and left the plastic bag open because I wanted to make sure it was still crispy when I got home. Note to the restaurant: I really appreciate when restaurants cut holes in the corners of containers for crispy/fried foods to keep them from getting too soggy. Having some venting for the steam to escape really helps. General's Chicken was my go-to before I went vegan, so I was really excited to find a vegan version. When I ordered on DoorDash, the General's Chicken had three spice levels: Medium, Mild, and Spicy. I went with Spicy, but the sauce didn't taste spicy to me at all. It was also super gingery, which I'm not used to. The sauce wasn't bad, but it didn't remind me of the typical General Tso sauce I'm used to. That said, I did enjoy the crispy texture, broccoli, and bell peppers. I'd rate this a 3.5/5. Yelp AI mentioned that the Black Pepper Chicken was the highest-rated item, so I decided to try the Black Pepper Chicken Chow Mein. At first bite, I was unsure of it, but as I kept eating, I enjoyed it more and more. I love that they include so many veggies, it really adds to the dish. I would give this a 4/5. Overall, I thought the food was good. I can definitely see myself ordering other items from here next time I get a craving for Chinese takeout.

We had everything we ordered still on the table for awhile until we flagged down staff a few times. They removed things after knowing we wanted to order more things I felt. The chairs were uncomfortable and the table set up for parties of 4 were too small.

That's the plot twist I didn't know I needed…read more We stopped here on my way out of Santa Clara heading to San Francisco -- it's conveniently close to a bunch of other spots, and since it's tucked inside a hotel, parking was ridiculously easy. (Underrated luxury.) Now, the hotel itself? Visually... a moment. It looked like someone invested serious money into it, but the design felt a little space-meets-startup-meets-what's-happening-here. Some elements felt elevated, others felt a bit makeshift. I genuinely couldn't tell what the theme was -- futuristic? celestial? boutique-on-a-budget? I'm still processing. The front desk team was clearly well-trained and knowledgeable -- they had every answer, every stat, every rate breakdown ready. But the warmth? Missing. I was hoping for a little storytelling since I'd never heard of the hotel before, and instead got a very matter-of-fact "we've been here five years" energy. Efficient, yes. Inviting, not quite. But let's talk about why you're really here: the coffee shop. Completely different vibe. Two people working, both genuinely happy, welcoming, and quick. We ordered a latte and a matcha to go -- total was about $22, which made me blink for a second -- but then I tasted the matcha. Oh. This wasn't the overly sweet, dusty-green situation you sometimes get. It tasted clean. Real. High-quality. The kind of matcha that feels intentional. I love Firehouse in Marin, but this? This was closer to serious coffee roaster-level quality. Smooth, organic-tasting, beautifully balanced. You could tell they care about what they're serving. Branding was strong, the space was cute, and I could absolutely see myself sitting there with my laptop pretending I'm writing something important. We grabbed ours to go, but it had that easy, airy, "stay awhile" energy. Would I book the hotel? Jury's still out. They don't have an in-house spa and mentioned bringing in third-party services for certain amenities, which made it feel a little less full-service than I expected. Would I go back for the coffee shop? Without hesitation. Delicious drinks, easy parking, quick service, and a vibe that actually makes you want to come back. Sometimes the side character steals the show -- and in this case, it's 100% the matcha.

Today, I was in the mood for something more than a salad (much as I wanted to preset what I had the first time coming here, I made a concerted effort to order something else...), thus I chose the Forager Flatbread. It took less time to make this time (roughly about five minutes after ordering), and when it came out, I marveled at how it looked like a work of art! Just beautiful! Each piece of herbed formage blanc flatbread had a nice, crunchy bottom (but not blackened) and a slightly tanginess, with a a good amount of "hen-of-the-wood" mushrooms, sweet roasted garlic and a bed of arugula. My, oh, my! My first bite was a multi-level extravaganza! The crunch of the bread, followed by the aroma of the herbs and arugula, then the saltiness of the cheese, the sweetness of the roasted garlic, the earthiness of the mushrooms - all came together as just a wonderful work of culinary art! This being my first time eating today, my saliva glands just fired off at first bite, causing a bit of intense pain from too much saliva shooting out. But, seriously, this was a very delicious entree, that I enjoyed from start to finish! Bravo for this second joyous experience!

Clear broth, comes with an assortment of vegan proteins, and it's been consistent every single time over the years. Best had in cold weather. The spicy noodle soup is solid too but it doesn't hit the same way. The SP4 gourmet deluxe is my other staple and I order it like an appetizer. The protein comes out fried with a crispy shell and soft inside. The sauce leans hard on lemongrass and citrus but it's savory throughout, not sweet. Haven't had anything like it anywhere else. Orange nuggets are chewy with a citrusy and sweet glaze. Good enough that I skip the actual appetizers for these. The Szechuan Pineapple is spicy, salty, and savory with chewy gluten and a citrus undertone running through it. Green papaya salad is strictly sour and tangy. Fresh, nothing heavy about it. Sweet potato curry is definitely underrated. Potato goes soft all the way through and the whole thing tastes hearty without being heavy. Basil eggplant tofu skews sweet and the eggplant goes silky and it's a family favorite. Eggplant claypot has the same idea but the sauce is better and it comes out in the claypot which makes it feel like a proper dish. Jalapeno BBQ seitan was a miss. The BBQ sauce tastes flat.
