    Cravings for matcha satisfied! I went in thinking I'd get a hojicha latte, but the matcha banana pudding latte caught my eye. I'm not too into the ones that taste artificial, but gladly this latte's cream top did not taste artificial at all! It was creamy and smooth, and Ioved the addition of the biscoff crumbles. The lavender soft serve was also great-- it tasted like the honey lavender flavor from Sorry Not Sorry Creamery. My mom said the ceremonial grade matcha level 1 latte was on the lighter side, so she might try the level 2 or 3 next time. Wait wasn't too long even though it was packed inside. We used the self service kiosk and it's easy to search through the menu. It was a plus that it also had pictures and descriptions. The wall decorations were cute and nice to know that they sell matcha and hojicha powder. May give it a try the next time I come around!

    I got the banana matcha with: almond milk Regular sweetness Upgrade to matcha level 2 3.5/5 for me since I feel like the matcha was still kinda watery for an upgrade. The banana flavor and biscoff top was nice. I prefer the foam to be a bit thicker though. Overall decent spot! Friendly service and good cafe to do some work if it doesn't get too crowded.

    Matcha ice cream 1,2, 3

    Always a delight to come here, I can rely on them for consistently good matcha! Good customer service and lots of great menu options, there is a difference between each ice cream matcha levels and I'd recommend 2 as it is less bitter and balanced. It is amazing to find a place that knows how to find a place that knows how to do matcha. After going to Japan, I've noticed only specialty matcha places really have their matcha down. I recommend this spot for all matcha critics and enthusiast!

    Mix Level 1 Matcha and Jasmine Soft Serve
    Yvette M.

    We were looking for Green Tea ice cream and stumbled on this spot that was pretty popular. We walked in and saw that most people were ordering using the tablet. They had a variety of Ube specials. But, we went with the level 1 matcha softserve mix with the flavor of the day which was Jasmine. After ordering on the tablet, our wait was less than 5 minutes. It was pretty busy and a bit small inside. So, we took our soft serve to go. Absolutely worth a visit!

    Entrance to the kitchen. Very clean and simple but attractive design!

    The customer service was awesome! The employees knew what they were talking about and explained the differences between the numbers which corresponds to the intensity of the matcha (caffeine) I ordered the highest which is 3 and it was delicious! The authentic taste of the matcha really stood out and the sweetness to it was a perfect blend! It just wasn't a sugary "green drink"! I will definitely be a regular here!!

    The music playlist is always a vibe here. It's always clean and the customer service is top their. Now I haven't been home in a year so to come back to L.A. and the first place outside of El Pollo Loco being Meccha Matcha is always a must. The matcha here is always so good , and even the soft serve is top their. I need Dallas ,Texas to get it together because their Matcha preparation is lacking. Nevertheless I always look forward to coming home and having a Level 3 matcha

    The Matcha latte here is pretty good, is probably one of my favorites or top favorites in this area. The price is fair, given the current market conditions. Self ordering is really straightforward, and the service is fairly quick. I had no issues with the ordering process, and definitely enjoyed the matcha latte even more. The shop is fairly small, with a couple of tables, and the parking lot is reasonable with spacing.

    Soft Serve Level 2 and 3

    Pros: -Fast service -Rotating flavors keeps things interesting -Large menu with something for everyone...the have soft serve, red bean treats, matcha, and other creative sweets. -welcoming ambiance with many tables to enjoy your treat inside -local Cambodian business integral to the Long Beach community. Cons: -Price. Admittedly, this is a rare occasion location considering the higher prices. As you increase your match level, the price goes up by $1, so keep that in mind. -Lack of ability to sample ice cream flavors before deciding what to order. Personally, I think it's a societal norm for ice cream, gelato, and soft serve places to allow their customers sample the flavors. Unfortunately, we got different flavors to try the levels of matcha but we weren't happy with Level 3 despite being avid matcha lovers. I'd recommend Level 1 or 2.

    My first time here but this is one of my niece's go to when in the area. The place itself was pretty busy but the line moves fast. I ordered the matcha vanilla oat latte. It wasn't too sweet and the matcha was not lost in the vanilla and oat milk. It was a refreshing drink that I can keep drinking all day long. The place was busy but clean. We placed our order on the kiosk and the people who gave us our our was super nice.

    Located off Artesia Bl in Artesia. The parking is shared with the other businesses in the little strip mall area. The place is not too big a few tables but not much room when it gets busy inside. You place your order from the kiosk. I got the strawberry oat matcha. It was good. The staff were pretty quick. Overall a nice spot for matcha stuff. I would get the drink again.

    I'm a new regular at this place and I feel so guilty about it. I don't identify as a matcha person, but damn lately I wish I could come here everyday. The drinks a so delicious! And do you see this matcha peach ice cream dripping in condensed milk?! It's so pervy. The people are sweet. There's WiFi and there's a perfect quiet corner I like to post up in. The decor is basic and nothing to write home about. The bathroom is clean. Ok bye.

    Hojicha ice cream & sakura matcha latte (lvl 1)
    Kelly N.

    Bagk again! Whew, busy on a Sat afternoon with the place full, but the team got the order out quickly! My bf wanted soft serve, and I wanted a yuzu drink, so we split a yuzu float with matcha soft serve. The matcha soft serve at level 1 has a delightful typical matcha ice cream flavor. The yuzu ice-blended was a slightly tart and pulpy delight to contrast the fairly sweet soft serve. It tasted like it was made with fresh yuzu. We loved it on a warm day, and it was filling! Since it was fairly similar pricing to getting the yuzu sparkling drink and matcha soft serve separately at around $11+ it was worth it for a special splurge treat. Will be back!

    Matcha biscoff latte: 9/10 Matcha soft serve level 1: 7/10 (personal preference, did not really like the taste of the matcha and it left an aftertaste) Very pricy, $11 for level 3 matcha latte that was not strong or good. Would not recommend unless you LOVE matcha and ice cream and are willing to pay extra for this novelty food.... The only redeeming point was that the inside decor was nice and tasteful, plus the service was quick.

    The perfect combo

    Such a cute ice cream shop with a wide variety of unique and delicious flavors!…read more Upon entering, we were greeted by the friendly staff. I really appreciated how nice and helpful the workers were. The girl who helped us offered recommendations and let us sample a handful of flavors. Ultimately we decided to get a flight which included 4 flavors of kid sized scoops for $15. They had a "Brewed and Bold" offering as part of their seasonal menu so we decided to get the Black Sesame Cookies and Cream, Thai Tea Buttercrunch, Matchaberry Brownie, and their Hojicha Chip. The ice cream flavors were subtle but so delicious and refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try more of their flavors. Parking can be a bit tough depending on the time of day as it's in a busy plaza shared with other eateries, but thankfully we were able to snag a spot within a few minutes.

    I've been holding off on writing this review for a while because I really wanted to give them a…read morechance to improve, but after my recent visit, it's clear things are only getting worse. The ice cream here is honestly horrible. It is aggressively, tooth-achingly sweet--to the point where it feels like you're eating straight corn syrup. If you're looking for actual flavor, look elsewhere; this stuff just tastes like "diabetes in a cup." To make matters worse, the consistency is a mess. It melts way too fast, turning into a sugary soup before you can even get through half of it. I also made the mistake of buying a tub to take home once, only to realize the expiration date was incredibly soon. For the price they charge, you'd expect high-quality ingredients and a decent shelf life, but it just feels cheap and poorly made. Save your money and your health. I won't be coming back. PS. It's a blessing in disguise that they're currently closed because a car ran into their front store.

    We went to lunch with some friends and whenever we go out for lunch, we usually go somewhere else…read morefor dessert. This time we tried Gobi Ice Cream. This is a rolled ice cream place which is not my typical style of ice cream that I like, so I just shared with my wife. My wife ordered a salted caramel with coffee. The show is the exciting part. They take the cream mixture to the frozen surface and start mixing all the ingredients until it becomes frozen and then they roll it up to little rolled ice cream scrolls. It was very tasty and light. The guy was very nice because usually you can only do one flavor, but my wife sweet talked the guy and he added the coffee to give it the salted caramel coffee ice cream.

    Decor: 5/5 Flavors: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Service: 1/5…read more Decor is cute and picturesque. Flavors were good but the quantity of ice cream is not much for the price. Low service rating because most of the staff didn't want to be there. They were just waiting until closing time so they could head home. My family and I came on 05/10/26 around 8:10pm after finishing our mother's day meal. I ordered matcha and salty caramel, matcha was highlight while the caramel flavor could have been saltier. - POOR EXPERIENCE - First incident: Matcha was finished quickly, I immediately went to the counter to pick after my number was called. I asked the team member that handed me my order for 3 extra spoons because my family was gonna share. Instead of helping me further, he turns and asks his coworker that was busy making someone else's order to give me the spoons and leaves to go hang out with the other staff in the back room. Second incident: My family and I are halfway done eating the matcha order. We're still waiting for the salty caramel flavor and I notice 1 order left unattended at the area they add the toppings. There isn't a single person standing behind the counter. I wait at the pickup area for about 5mins before someone finally walks out from the back room. I ask them if that order by the topping station is mine, they say yes and proceed to add the toppings.... Tried for the one time but won't be coming back when I eat in the area again.

    Update: They're no longer affiliated with Fivestars!…read more I've since gone two additional times to try their waffle bites. My last trip was kind of spontaneous because I suddenly got a Fivestars reward that day for these waffle bites. However, when I arrived, I was looking for the Fivestars tablet only to be met by a Clover tablet instead. It felt like I went through a time warp because the employee working behind the register didn't seem to have any idea what I was trying to say regarding Fivestars, though he did notice a little trifold card on the front counter mentioning Fivestars. I asked if he could get his manager so I could explain, and even show, him my Fivestars reward. The reward said "already accepted", which he almost thought meant I had redeemed it already, but if that were the case, then it would have said "already redeemed". Given that they've now done away with Fivestars, I'm not too surprised he may have gotten the words "accepted" confused with "redeemed", but luckily, he was happy enough to honor it for me. The employee who assisted me was very helpful, though he did ask me to repeat the topping and the drizzle that I wanted. I chose the Strawberry Cheesecake flavor ice cream with Fruity Pebbles toppings and a Strawberry drizzle on top. Since I had already tried the cookie flavors before, I figured I'd try the fruity flavors this time around. He said he needed about 5 minutes to prepare my waffle bites, which were presented a little different than last time. Last time, I got the Cookie Butter flavor with *Cookie* Crisp and Peanut *Butter* (see what I did there?), and it came in a small plastic takeout container. This one came in a large plastic cup, and I'm thinking the logistics may have changed a ton between my last two visits. I did appreciate how the employee asked if I wanted the waffles on top of or beneath the ice cream before making the waffle bites; I chose on top. He also asked if I'd like powdered sugar on top, to which I agreed. Unfortunately, neither of the waffle bites I got from my last two visits impressed me that much. As a matter of fact, the only thing that impressed me was the strawberry drizzle. Everything else fell kind of flat. While generous in size for the $8 price tag, the Cookie Butter and the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream didn't really taste like these flavors at all! For whatever reason, the peanut butter didn't add much flavor, but the strawberry drizzle added a lot! How even?! In short, the waffle bites weren't that much of an upgrade from the ice cream scoop that I had on my first visit. I'm willing to say "too much good was no good" here. The waffles themselves were good, but they can only do so much when a flavored ice cream doesn't even taste like that flavor. It's worth noting that on my penultimate visit, when I got the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, I saw two employees behind the front counter who were ready to take my order. I asked them to explain what the waffle bites were, but it took them a couple of tries to actually understand what I was asking. From what I gathered, the waffle bites were similar to the ice cream scoop I had on my first visit, but with the addition of a warm waffle to supplement the ice cream. However, the step-by-step process remains the same. I was initially told it would take 6 minutes to prepare the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, but it actually took 15! It seemed like one was training the other or they were trying to gather the ingredients and/or the steps needed to create the waffle bites. After about 10 minutes, I was told by one of the employees they had to make a new batch of waffles because the first batch had burnt. The music was getting pretty loud, so it was hard to hear him after that, but I didn't want to hold up the kitchen prep process any longer. I just said "Alright, sure" so he could continue preparing my order. I do appreciate how he let me know of this so that I'd know the reason for the extended wait, but I wish they weren't so ill-prepared during my visit. So overall, still 3 stars overall. I appreciate the prior partnership with Fivestars, but these missed opportunities have led me to believe that Cravings is just not for me. I doubt I'll try anything else on their ice cream menu, and considering that there are only a few parking spots in their lot, it will take a lot to get me to try their hot chicken. And speaking of lack of parking, I also want to mention that on my second visit, I saw two open parking stalls right in front of Cravings, one on either side of a car. That car had its driver's side wide open so that I couldn't park there. I had to park on the passenger side of that car, which he left much less room for. Perhaps a microcosm of the clientele in this part of town? Everybody deserves a second chance, right? Unfortunately, not everybody can make the most of them, and this is just one example of such. Thanks for the sweet treats Cravings, but I'll get my next one somewhere else.
