    Kim was very sweet and helpful welcomed me with a big smile and highly recommended the mango sticky rice. The ambience inside is very aesthetic. Cute fun looks a bit Japanese marketplace. My fiancé and I stopped by after eating next-door at open sesame the mango sticky rice Boba drink was really good. I especially like the sticky rice in the coconut milk will be back again driving through.

    Monster mash ice cream and it was so good. Service was quick & ambiance was clean. Feels like so much stuff is for sale other than ice cream. Like so many little toys.

    In love with this place. So many options for unique drinks. We ordered banana coffee, matcha coconut cloud, mango sticky rice smoothie, fresh coconut smoothie, and Thai tea sticky rice. All so delicious! They also sell different flavors of Lay's potato chips that you won't find in any regular grocery stores. There were jewelry, stuff plushies, mirrors,and other small knick knacks on display for purchase. Very cute place to enjoy a drink or have some ice cream especially on a hot day. Service is amazing and will be a returning customer.

    They offer whole coconuts but will charge you for a smoothie
    Esmeralda C.

    A little disappointed. I've been here several times and today I come and ask for a whole coconut that costs 7 dollars. The name itself describes what it is so when I ask for it, the 2 girls working are so confused and don't know what I'm talking about. They said they don't have that but they can pour coconut water inside a coconut shell but they have to charge me for a smoothie which originally costs 9 dollars. I got charged an extra 2 dollars bc apparently they no longer have that option to charge. As a customer how is that my fault! To top it off I also ask for a mango sticky rice smoothie and it was watery. Idk the whole thing was just off today I'm so sad bc I like this place USUALLY!

    Matcha Flight

    Saw this Matcha flight and had to try it. It has regular, banana crème and strawberry matcha a lattes. The presentation is so sweet! Perfect for a date to share.

    I always like coming here. Love the decorations. The drinks are good. Employees here are so nice! My kid says, "I will give this place ten Stars and ten out of ten"

    Strawberry Sunset Lemonade + Strawberry Macaron Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich
    Isabelle N.

    I used to go to the Snow Monster in Westminster as a kid until they closed. Since then, they've rebranded to Mini Monster but still sell the same stuff! We drove down to Long Beach to get it again after many years and I ordered the same thing I used to: Strawberry Sunset Lemonade & Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich. We chose vanilla ice cream, which was much better than I remember it tasting. The flavor is very distinct vanilla and standout, which I really liked. We got the strawberry macaron cookies on the side and they were a bit smaller than before, but just as good. I wish they sold the cookies separately, as I would buy a ton! The sunset lemonade was okay, I feel like it didn't have as much flavor as the location in Anaheim, but it wasn't bad either. Overall, I really enjoyed everything and it was pretty nostalgic! The store itself is really clean and nicely decorated, with its inside being almost like a loft. Service was really fast and straightforward, and there are about 4 tables to sit at inside. It's located on a street with very little to no parking, so I would recommend turning down into a side street and hoping for parking there. There is no designated parking lot.

    Yummy lychee jelly with lemonade!

    Update to my old review: Don't forget the chocolate chip cookies! Omg! So yummy! Oh and the Asian snacks are yummy!

    Island glow flight (my favorite)
    Laurel T.

    Wow! I've always loved this place. And it has changed and came so far since I've been coming here!!! It used to just have boba (and the cute gifts / flowers they sell) But now the menu is huge!!! This place has street parking only, which isn't the businesses fault. But since up close parking is important to me, it's a bummer. So keep that in mind if you have limited walking abilities. The staff here is always so friendly! I'm always greeted immediately. Greg took great care of us They do have other locations. Like the one in Anaheim, conveniently located in the Anaheim packing district This place is also woman owned!! So bonus points there. I love seeing how many things they have added. I've bought so many gifts here for girlfriends (cutest stuffed animals, pins, mugs and etc) to support this local gem The ice cream is delicious and I love the ice cream sandwiches they make with the macarons. My mother hates macarons but loves them from here. So that's saying a lot. Now they have things like banana splits and tea flights?!?! Whaaaat!!! The shop is so cute It has seating I love seeing this place adding things and getting more popular In fact, while we were here Greg was talking to us about how they are trying to perfect another menu item to add (Flan) they also have some seasonal items I have seen the gorgeous tea flights on social media. And today was my lucky day. I came here with someone else who is obsessed with flights. They have 3 different ones! So we had to order each one The - matcha flight The-milk tea flight The -island glow flight (this one was probably my favorite and I loved how it was presented) Matcha flight- matcha latte, banana matcha and strawberry matcha (for me not being a matcha fan I thought these were really good. Especially the banana matcha) Milk tea flight -jasmine milk tea, honey milk tea and signature thai tea Island glow flight-sunset strawberry lemonade, peach tea and fresh thai coconut water I also ordered an ice cream sandwich (you pick the flavor of ice cream and pick the flavor of macarons you want) I picked coffee ice cream and fruity pebble macarons (don't question it, it totally goes together and it's delicious) I REALLLLLLLY wanted a banana split but unfortunately they were out of bananas (it was a Saturday and we got there as soon as it opened at 11 am) And I ordered a milk tea with boba in their boba bear reusable glass cup topped with cotton candy. When we were leaving Greg was actually extremely nice and went above and beyond and he knew the lid of my cup was sticky from having the cotton candy on top. So he asked if I wanted the lid cleaned. This place is also big on sustainability when it comes to the environment. They have a whole shelf of reusable straws for purchase (they are actually a very good price. I recommend the metal ones) They still have the huge glass cups (the big mason jars size boba bears) you can buy and then have them refilled for a certain price. I highly recommend popping in for a quick drink to go or staying for the beautiful tea flights Prices are extremely reasonable And I'll just come out and say it. Staff here is amazing. So please don't forget gratuity The only downfall is now they have such a big menu it's impossible to know what to order. Everything is delicious. P.S. 5/5 stars for Greg It also has vegan And dairy free options

    The most adorable little cafe! I got the banana coffee and brown butter + triple chocolate cookie -- the banana coffee was refreshing and flavorful (on the milkier side but I like that), and the cookie was flavorful and had a nice crunchy texture (they warmed it for me!). I also tried my mom's matcha coconut cloud, and as someone who normally doesn't really like matcha, it actually was really good! Check this place out if you're in the mood for a sweet treat or a coffee break!

    Cute drink options and atmosphere is chill with snacks available too! Good place to come to.

    Came for boba after dinner and enjoyed the quality of the boba. I got the matcha latte with banana custard which was delicious (taste like nilla wafers). They were quick to make drinks, and the inside was very cute they sell knick-knacks. Beware this place has no parking lot so street parking in neighborhood. It gets bad at night so uber or walk if possible.

There were quite a few young people working hard in the little enclosed kitchen. We ordered and picked up outside at the window. I was dying for an ice cream sandwich but theirs featured oreos as the cookie so I passed. Hubby got vanilla ice cream, his go to flavor, and i tried the blueberry cobbler. His scoop was a little larger than mine, so that was a bit annoying. He enjoyed his vanilla. The blueberry cobbler was divine; the vanilla was swirled with a good amount of blueberry that tasted fresh. The "cobbler" bits were pieces of sugar cookie, which were not bad but not much flavor, just sugary. There were crumbles as well as little cookie bits. We agreed they offer a quality product and a good sized serving for the price. I would return to try some of the other flavors!

I ended up getting a white chocolate macadamia for one side, and a peanut butter cookie on the other, with vanilla ice cream in the middle (wish they had had mint chocolate chip). It was good, but couldn't finish it since it would not survive the walk back. Next time, would get a darker chocolate based ice cream to go with the decent vanilla-flavored cookies. While I was eating the sandwich inside in the small eating area, noticed the next customers waiting for their funnel cake to be made. Thinking that would be a great choice, especially topped with the variety of ice cream flavors available.
