La Michoacana Premium

I found my new favorite ice cream spot!!…read more As a self-proclaimed ice cream enthusiast, I frequent ice cream spots at least 1-2 times a week (probably more than I should). I happened to come across this place on a Friday night right before a bar-hopping night with some friends. I just ate so ice cream sounded good. I walked in and it's a pretty small spot with only 2-3 small tables and 1 guy working. The menu looked pretty interesting, and immediately sampled 3 of the flavors that intrigued me the most: mango sticky rice, banana cream pie, and matcha strawberry. The worker was really nice and helped me out quickly. I asked him what the difference was between the small and the large, I thought it was just size of the scoop or bowl, but he said that small comes with 2 scoops, large is 3 scoops, and you can get a combination of flavors. That was perfect because all 3 flavors were some of my favorites I've ever had. I'm not usually one to hype up a food spot without good cause, but the price point for each size was really good compared to other ice cream spots that charge $1-2 more for the same thing. Not only that, these flavors were some of the best I've had. I'm excited to come back and try more flavors. Highly recommend this spot for any ice cream lovers, and I think I'm probably going to come back every weekend as part of my weekly routine haha.

It's hard to find ice cream that has Asian-inspired flavors, so this place set my expectations…read morepretty high! And I was not disappointed! They have a great variety of flavors, and you can even get a sample to taste before buying. Their ube is delicious and their mango sticky rice one has such an incredible taste that replicates the dessert so well. I ended up getting their cookie butter flavor since I am a big fan of biscoff and it was so creamy and delicious. You get small chunks of the biscoff cookie as well, which is great. For the price itself, you get a good amount of ice cream too! The shop itself is pretty small with only a table or two for seating and parking is slightly difficult when it gets crowded. But the service was great and they play great music as well. Try out their ice cream!

Really cool decor, plenty to look at, and the pastry case immediately had me wanting to order way more than I needed. I tried Turkish coffee for the first time and that stuff is STRONG. If you need a serious caffeine boost, this is definitely the move. I also tried the iced Qamaria Latte and iced Pistachio Latte. Both were good, but the pistachio was easily my favorite. Creamy, slightly sweeter, and just more my style. The surprise of the visit was the strawberry dragon fruit refresher. I almost didn't order it because I was there for coffee, but I'm glad I did. Super refreshing and I'd absolutely get it again. For food, DO NOT skip the honeycomb. They warm it up and drizzle it with honey, and each little section has cheese inside. Easily one of my favorite things I tried. The chicken pastry was another surprise and ended up being incredible. Finished with the mango cheesecake because I pretty much can't say no to anything mango. Really fun cafe experience and I'm glad I stopped in. Definitely coming back!

The latte was decent, although both the espresso and the cookie butter flavors were a bit weak. The cookie was fantastic, a big, fat mound full of chips. The mousse was presented in a cute strawberry shape, the coating covering a delicious frothy cream and a strawberry filling. I enjoyed my desserts here and took note of their large selection of macarons, something I'll have to try on my next visit.

What I ordered: Coco Pandan Mousse DESSERT: 8/10 I loved how light my mousse was. Most importantly, it actually tasted like pandan! I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!

The server behind the counter was very helpful and generous with the portions. He also stepped through every option, giving useful suggestions as to what to add next. He was also very adept at making small talk that sounded like he was interested. The only caveat was he disappeared after taking and making my order. This was possibly due to being the only worker in the shop. But it was also very jarring to have not a single soul looking after the dining room or front counter. This was even more noticeable because the spot was barren as far as customers go. There were no pick-up or take-out orders ready to go. There were no dine-in customers other than me. It was super eerie, like I was eating in a ghost town or waking up in the Walking Dead world. It did allow me enough quiet to read my book after, which was nice. But it's very unsettling to be eating alone alone for 75% of the meal without even employees in eyesight.
