Went during peak after dinner rush. And service was quick. Was in line less than 5 minutes…read more The desserts themselves are pretty good. Went with friends and got to try a variety of flavors. Me and my gf got the mango shaved ice one. It's a solid treat. Not too sweet but still satisfied your sweet tooth. I would come back again

I came here near closing on a Friday afternoon for a quick caffeine boost. The staff were friendly,…read moreand there was no line when we arrived. We ordered the strawberry matcha latte and banana milk coffee! The matcha was a beautiful green color, but unfortunately the matcha flavor was quite faint, and the strawberry syrup tasted a little artificial to me. I also found the drink to be a little too sweet despite ordering it less sweet. The banana milk coffee was better! It tasted pretty much exactly how I imagined it would, although it was also a little too sweet for me even at less sweet. I probably wouldn't get the matcha again, but I could see myself coming back for a coffee, some food, or to study. The cafe is connected to the library, so it's pretty quiet, and there is free Wi-Fi through the library along with plenty of outlets. The seating is a bit limited, but there were several vacant tables and bar spots when I dropped by. There's also plenty of parking, either in the library lot or nearby. Overall, the drinks weren't quite my favorite, but I would come back to get some work done.

We got the cardamom Turkish coffee which was really good. Service was unfortunately painfully slow - the place was near empty and I understand it takes time to craft the drinks but 15 minutes later we were still waiting! We also got one cheese borek which was great! The Place is also a little steep - three coffees ( two were double espresso size ) and a pastry ran at $33 That said the staff were nice, enjoyed my coffee and glad we gave it a try

It was so cute, cozy, and spacious. It was pretty packed when we visited, so there weren't many seats available initially, but we ended up finding one. I tried the seasonal pumpkin latte, and it was really good! I especially love when baristas take the time to make latte art, even when it's busy and it's such a nice little touch. My husband tried the green juice, which we both enjoyed, although we felt it was a bit on the pricier side for the serving size. I also tried the chili crisp toast and empanada. The chili crisp toast was definitely my favorite!! I loved it and would absolutely order it again! Overall, a really cute spot with good drinks, food, and a great atmosphere. I'd definitely come back!

I brought over their huge bowls of coffee and matcha which were excellent props :) Black Sesame Cappuccino (Large $9.20): I had a gift card, so I splurged on a flavored cappuccino. It was perfect!! Sesame can be a strong flavor, but I still tasted the coffee (probably because of how many espresso shots it had as a large). The interior is beautifully decorated just like their Danville location, especially the wall of plants. I also love the quiet room tucked away at the back near the bathroom, more speakeasy vibes. I wish they didn't close so early at 4:00pm!

Luckily he came home with a cake, so Brioche De Paris saved me that night cause I was able to bring something to the gathering. The cake itself was pretty small, especially for around $50 or so, but we enjoyed the opera cake as it was not too sweet. Beautiful and tasty! The space here is fairly large, with plenty of room to sit. They have a lot of options, such as food, beverages, pastries, cookies, slices, cute individual desserts, and much more. I did go here once to check it out, but didn't buy items, but found things to look really good. The workers here checked in and let me know if I had any questions, feel free to ask. Individual desserts and such are really atheistically pleasing, but they are on the pricier end of things. Yet again, this is Lafayette, and of course, the precision and time that went into making all these baked goods.

Heads up, this place is related to the ALAMO location. NOT the Walnut Creek one. Why this place was…read moreable to get the same name somehow, I have no idea. Came here to try this place thinking it was related to the Walnut Creek one and it was...disappointing. My husband and I saw they had way more cakes which was fine and they had a bunch of croissants. But the cakes are labeled as they appear. So the hazelnut cake is called...hazelnut...but then they have other menu items using the same word. So mind our awkwardness when we wanted the cake and the girl behind the counter asked "which hazelnut item" and you can't explain much more because the name of the item is just "hazelnut". We also got a scone and a couple of hazelnut chocolate croissants. I saw that they had the same exact quiche flavors as the Walnut Creek one and...they were way more deflated and thinner than the Walnut Creek ones. So I'm not sure if the intent is to be an imposter? When we got the takeout box, the sticker listed Lafayette and Alamo (but not Walnut Creek) which is when my husband looked into it only to find out it wasn't related to the Walnut Creek one... Anyways, when we got home, I noticed the hazelnut cake/mousse thing wasn't really made well. The shell is wayyyy too hard to break. I would've preferred it to be thinner. A fork should be able to break through it, not a knife...and the top of hazelnut was cracked as opposed to it needing to be completely sealed. On top of that, it was pretty sickly sweet that I was only able to eat half of it. I forfeited over the second half to my husband who said the same and he has a sweet tooth to begin with. To his words, his hazelnut chocolate croissant didn't taste much of either. Neither side was strong enough. So...next time, hard pass. I'll go back to the other Walnut Creek one. Maybe I'll try the Alamo one to see if it's better than Lafayette, but this place was disappointing.

We've also had items delivered a couple times, and they're always well packed and in great condition (not melted) when we receive them. All in all we'll definitely keep ordering from Ice Monster and have been loving their frosty wares!
