Service: 5/5 quick and efficient. Food: 5/5 order the sesame, soft serve, and the Hoji Cha mochi ice cream. Both are very good, with strong sesame flavors and strong tea flavors. Highly recommend the whole chicha if you prefer more earthy tones. Atmosphere- it is a order and to go place. There are some seatings around. There is a little bar that you could sit up too read more

I've always wanted to try Kyoyo Haus since they opened but my recent trip was met with a huge disappointment. Portions were so much smaller than I expected based on the price. I ordered the black sesame mochi for $7.50 and it came with black sesame ice cream covered in a thick layer of mochi with two thin cut slices of strawberry and a sesame oil pipette. The black sesame ice cream wasn't as creamy as I'd hoped it would be but the sesame flavor was strong. The mochi didn't taste too fresh which was surprising because I went right when they opened. It's a fun dessert but I just didn't like the taste. read more

A little pricy but the mochi and ice cream quality is good. The azuki milk ice cream tastes reminiscent of the white rabbit candy I had as a child and the mochi was a really nice texture. It came with a flavor syrup which honestly didn't add too much to the ice cream, not bad or good. I liked that they offer samples before you order, this helped me decide on the azuki milk because I've never heard of it before! read more

I got their black sesame soft serve and it has the most robust, intense black sesame flavor, balanced perfectly with some sweetness. The texture of the soft serve is just right and if you eat it indoors it doesn't melt too quickly. The mochj ice cream is a bit of a novelty and pretty cool concept but I prefer just the soft serve by itself. read more

Wow this was so good! The mochi was so soft and chewy and the soft serve has a very robust flavor. The black sesame was rich and creamy while the mango was fruity and refreshing. A great place for a sweet treat! read more

Service was nice and quick! Aesthetic of the desserts were simple and cute. Flavors were A-MAZING. I was in-love with the Hojicha icecream and mochi. This was my first time getting fresh mochi and it was so soft and chewy and paired perfectly with the Hojicha icecream. Highly recommend!! It's located in this fun little food hall to explore as well. If I'm ever in Boston again, I'm coming back!! read more

Top notch hojicha and black sesame soft serve, the flavors really come through compared to some other spots in town. If you're on the fence about trying kyoyo haus but like these two ice cream flavors it's worth trying out. The black sesame flavor is definitely one of the best ones I've had since the flavor is more bold. They give samples of their ice cream and you can even get some of the flavors swirled. I didn't know their ice cream came with a flavor syrup and coarse sugar sprinkled on top. Next time I'm going to ask to omit these since they didn't add anything to the ice cream. read more

My friend and I came here and we LOVED it! They have a specialized set of mostly Japanese-inspired soft serve flavors, and any of them can be turned into a mochi ice cream. The staff let us try multiple flavors and we decided on getting the matcha soft serve and the milk tea mochi ice cream. The matcha flavor was delicious and the milk tea ice cream tasted exactly like milk tea. The mochi was soft and fresh. We felt that the servings were pretty generous and fairly priced. We'd definitely come back and try some of the other flavors! A small hidden gem in the Harvard Square food court. read more

I thought this was delicious! The mochi ice cream is $6.75 and that felt a little high for the size of the dish, but it is a tasty dining experience. The mochi is soft and chewy, and the ice cream was very flavorful! The location is a little lacking in the garage, but I'd visit again! read more

The term "Asian Inspired" can be automatically explained as "Americanized." Soft Serve Matcha: To be fair, the matcha itself is quite standard, not too sweet, and you can taste both its bitterness and aroma. But who can understand the despair emerged when I discovered that the red dropper and toppings were strawberry juice and white sugar respectively? Adding sugar directly because it wasn't sweet enough--do you really have to be so drastic...? The ice cream wasn't exactly "soft" either, you can clearly feel the lumps and ice crystals when scooping it. read more

One of those rare places that live up to the instagram hype! Kyoyo Haus is located within the Garage in Harvard Square on the first floor. They have a few shared tables with the other Garage restaurants. The menu has two options-- mochi ice cream or soft serve, with a bunch of flavors including matcha, black sesame, milk tea, honey, mango, and ube. We went with a group and tried the matcha, ube, milk tea, and honey, which were all incredible! They hand cover the ice cream with mochi and then add a little syringe with flavored oil for the aesthetic! The main and most important part was the mochi was incredible! So soft and stretchy and perfectly not too sweet. The ratio was also really good and you had a lot of mochi:ice cream. The flavors were super yummy-- matcha was my favorite but the honey was a surprise hit! It had a more creamy taste and wasn't too sweet. The milk tea was really good though a bit sweater. Overall I would absolutely come back here! read more

Personally I think it's a little bit overpriced for the mochi ice cream portion here. The shop is located in a food hall near memories shop. It specializes in mochi and ice cream. I highly recommend mango mochi ice cream flavor if this is your first time trying the place. read more

Great Japanese inspired soft serve and mochi ice cream! I appreciate the sweetness of all the ice cream flavors is just sweet enough rather than cloyingly sweet. I recommend the sesame, hojicha, and adzuki. Soft serve is $5.75 (w/o tax) and mochi ice cream is $6.75 (w/o tax). Service is really friendly and they explain their offerings. They also offer free samples of the different flavors to help you decide which one best works for you. This is located in the Garage and shares dining space with a bunch of different food vendors. read more

Got what I came for! (Mochi ice cream... here it's soft serve) They seem to roll out the mochi dough right there which is cool. The building they're in is lowkey hard to find and a little dingy but the yummy (yes expensive) treat was delish read more

Mochi ice cream crafted on the spot! They have a handful of flavors, and we got to try the thai tea/milk tea and azuki milk. I was able to mix the thai tea and milk tea ice cream flavors in one mochi, but they are only able to do certain combos. The mochi ice cream was delicious!! The mochi was thinly wrapped but still strong enough to hold together, and they also added extra toppings like milk tea/thai tea/strawberry/tapioca. The yuzu tea wasn't as memorable as the ice cream, but I'd definitely recommend stopping by. The cafe is located inside the Garage, so it's not as easy to see on the street but you'll immediately find it once you enter the building. There are also many tables with seats scattered around the lobby/main walking area for you to sit and enjoy your dessert. read more

I was super excited to try a mochi ice cream place but unfortunately the mochi isn't to my standards. The mochi was too starchy and the chew didn't feel right, it felt like it wasn't chewy enough? The ice cream was fine, and I feel like the oil is gimmicky because it doesn't add much. The oil is hydrophobic and doesn't actually absorb into the matcha well at least. read more

Delicious mochi soft serve in Harvard Square! They have lots of flavors to try such as milk tea, matcha, ube, honey, black sesame and mango and offer both soft serve only and mochi soft serve which is a scoop of soft serve wrapped in mochi dough. The mochi soft serve includes a small pipette which adds concentrated flavor to the soft serve. I got matcha and it was the perfect balance of earthy matcha flavor and sweetness. Will definitely be back to try more flavors. The shop was very busy but the line moved quickly. read more

Kyoyo Haus is a unique and creative ice cream shop that recently opened in the heart of Harvard Square, located inside a shared mall space. The shop serves its ice cream in a soft-serve style or with mochi. The mochi is a unique, pleasantly chewy addition that pairs well with the ice cream. A fun innovation is that each order comes with a pipette filled with a complementary flavor, like sesame oil, to add an extra kick. We tried the black sesame and matcha flavors. The matcha was alright, it had a good, creamy consistency but the earthy matcha taste was a bit weaker than we prefer. The black sesame was similar, presenting the right flavor profile without being super strong. The sesame oil in the pipette definitely helped boost that dish. The price point is on the higher side, at around $7 for a single cup. It's a nice, creative treat to get once in a while, especially if you're interested in trying inventive dessert fusions, but it is a bit expensive for a regular stop. read more

Went to grand opening and I would come back for the mochi! Ube softserve is creamy and not overly sweet. The pipette icing doesn't elevate it in my opinion but it looks cute. Ample dining space, nestled in the garage. This building does not have a bathroom so you need to go to Shake Shack across the street read more

New Asian mochi wrapped soft serve ice cream shop located at the Garage in Harvard Square where Ben & Jerry's used to be. Went during their soft opening where they have various soft serve flavors: milk tea, mocha, mango, ube, black sesame and a couple more. You have the option of just the soft serve or having it wrapped in a thing sheet of fresh mochi. Each mochi wrapped ice cream comes with a flavor shot where you can administer as much or as little as you'd like. Each mochi is one scoop for $6.50 and just the soft serve is $5.75. The employees were very friendly, and they let you try some samples. The soft serve is very creamy, but a bit overly sweet for my palette. It's a casual ice cream spot with shared table space among the other food vendors. Would definitely go again and try some other flavors. read more

Food: We got the black sesame and mango mochi ice cream were so good! The soft serve ice cream tasted so good and the mango was especially so refreshing. The sesame oil and black sesame soft serve went surprisingly really well together. The mango mochi ice cream had a pandan syrup pipette which was good too. But I personally couldn't really taste the pandan. Service: The person who took our order was really nice. They gave us a really good explanation on what would come with our ice creams, gave us some samples for tasting. Ambiance: It was really nice that we could see how the mochi was prepared and served! read more

Located inside the garage at Harvard Square is a new mochi ice cream place. I came for the grand opening featuring their $1 soft serve. I waited in line before they opened and waited about 1.5 before I got to order. Not sure how their order number system worked, but it didn't take long for them to prepare 2 mochi ice creams and 5 soft serve cups. My friend and I ordered all the flavors including ube mochi, honey mochi, mango, milk tea, black sesame, and match soft serve. They all came with a cute little pipette to add flavor to your ice cream. It was cool to watch them prepare the mochis up front from flattening it out to stretching the mochi over the soft serve. The cups may look small, but each flavor packs a punch. My favorite flavors would have to be the mango and black sesame. The milk tea, honey, and ube were more subtle, but the addition of the brown sugar and milk in the pipettes made all the difference. There's a few tables around to sit and enjoy your ice cream as part of the food court. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend checking them out with hopes you don't have to wait as long. read more

Ube ordered was smooth and delicious. Selections are simple and not overbearing. With a friendly staff and a busy atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

This is one of those "white people don't know any better" kind of place. If youre dumb enough to buy anything here (if you can, the people working there won't take your order.) The ice cream is pathetically small. Drinks are just seltzer water with a couple pieces of fruit. read more

Was rather disappointed and will not return. The wait in line to order was about 7 minutes. Once order was placed, it was another 35 minutes. I noticed that numbers ahead of my ticket were getting called first. When I asked why, they said it was because of the system they used where it randomly allocates order number! Never heard of such a thing! Is it too much to ask that one gets served based on a when order was placed? read more
