It has a hint of tea, a taste like my iron supplement and salt. My husband confirmed the taste and said that it is not ube at all just food coloring. He on the other hand had a better taste-chocolate and vanilla which no one should make a mistake. It is not too creamy or sweet. The taiyaki and sides are good though. The service is fast. The place is clean. The restroom is not available the whole time we are there. I should have tried their boba drinks instead. Next time, I'll try their classic taiyaki and boba. I am hoping that it will be a better experience for us.

Matcha, blue cookies & cream. Taiyaki (mine is taro)! Only come here for taiyaki! Soft serve is ok

Ube ice cream in taiyaki. You can't see, but there's matcha custard in there.

It could be a bit creamier, but it was still very enjoyable. The jasmine milk tea with regular sugar and light ice was just okay. I would not get it again since it tasted kind of bland. The main attraction here is definitely the popcorn chicken, however the food feels a little overpriced for the portion size. It was flavorful, well seasoned, perfectly salty, and crispy. Even at medium spice, it had a nice kick. There were no weird pieces either. The only downside is some inconsistency in size since a few pieces could be smaller. The mozzarella sticks were also very good. I prefer them with ketchup instead of marinara. They are your typical mozzarella sticks and taste good, but the popcorn chicken is what really stands out.

This limits interaction with baristas. I came with my fiancé and ordered a mango milk tea with boba and she got the classic milk tea with boba. We also got the popcorn chicken with mild flavor. I'm pretty sensitive to spicy flavors and this one I had a hard time with. The popcorn chicken itself was fresh and crispy. I would say their tea and boba has stayed consistent and brings back some nostalgia. This is a great boba shop for students to come hang out and study. Would definitely always stop by when I am in town.

Hello, I visited…read moreyour store around 9:15PM and was disappointed to see that about half of the ice cream flavors had already been put away and the equipment had been cleaned, even though the store does not close until 10:00 PM. If the posted closing time is 10:00 PM, customers should be able to purchase from the full selection of ice cream until that time. Cleaning up and putting products away 30 minutes before closing limits customers' choices and creates a poor experience.

With so many flavors and combos, you're almost guaranteed to find something you'll like no matter what you're into. I got a regular size because I wanted two different flavors. If you get the small, you can't do layers which is good to know.

Don't get discouraged by lines, they move fairly quick and trust me, it's def worth the wait! 10000/10 Plenty of parking and a decent amount of seating.

This is probably my favorite place to get ice cream. I live close to a rite aid and their ice cream doesn't come close to achieving the refined taste that La Michoacána has accomplished. Rite aid has to constantly restock their ice cream, while La Michoacána has assorted flavors at your disposal. To conclude I would like to compliment the family friendly service that the employees bestow upon their customers. This is why I have given the Michoacána a 5 Star review. read more

Ok so my Sister is pregnant and she was craving a duro loco (chicharrón preparado) I went to this Michoacana and ordered one. And when I came to my sister and opened the tray this is what we get... this is not only rude but disrespectful that you trust that they will prepare your order right and is missing most of the ingredients. No cabbage, no cueritos, they just poured cream mayo sauce and cucumber. Shame on this place, thanks for ruining my surprise. read more

When I asked to pay cash it changed to $30.90. I asked the cashier if they charge for using a card. She said yes. Under section 1748.1 it's illegal at a federal level to charge a patron for using their debit card. There's an exception in the state of California due to the Italian colors lawsuit. However, you have to post what you will be charging for using a card. I get times are hard especially for a small businesses owner. Being deceitful and stealing from your customers is not a great business move. Had I not asked to pay cash, I would have never known and I'm sure 99% of the people coming here aren't aware either.
