I would definitely recommend sharing a bingsu, as it is pretty large to eat by yourself.

It's very light, so not really what you're looking for if you want something heavier and/or more rich. The stuffed waffle things were really good. We tried the chocolate and red bean flavors.

Summertime & ice cream pretty much go hand-in-hand, so it's no surprise that people flock into this shop. With great eats nearby or a soft area for littles to play just outside, this is a good spot to grab a sweet treat. Aye, but that's the rub. The menu, littered with 'specialities', calls for lots of prep work to serve the ice cream. It ain't just scooping from tubs, no, these are more 'artisanal' than they might need to be. When staffing is, ahem, 'challenged', then the line really backs up as people order these items off the menu. Our last visit had just one young lady working, and she was working her heart out. But there wasn't any help, and because there wasn't any help, everything was affected. BOOOOOOO!! So if you're more interested in sharing your treat on Insta or other socials, then knock yerself silly. But who gives two toots about ice cream that is expensive and delivered verrryyyy slowly? Take a pic and make it a still life, because Ice Cream Bae can be more 'still life' than quality experience.

You could probably split one among 4 people. It's also a cute place to hang out, pretty pastel and wood cozy interior. I really liked the shaved ice cream! The texture was light and fluffy and while it reminds me of bingsoo, it's creamier because it's cream instead of milk I think? Overall it ended up being quite rich, especially with all the whipped cream, and the matcha flavor is a little too sweet. Next time I'll probably try a fruity flavor (and bring friends). I think this place is worth trying at least once! Really unique ice cream that I haven't seen or tried elsewhere.

I'm so worth it !

Upon entering, you order on a kiosk up front. Next, after placing your order you'll receive a receipt with your order along with a number. Then, you're welcome to find a seat at any of the open seating options which are always nice and clean. After that, they'll either call your number or they'll come find you in the dining area and bring you your order! It was a super nice and convenient process and I enjoyed sitting down in the open area and using their free wifi to browse on my laptop and work on some work related projects. In addition, the Taiwan Toast was super delicious and exactly the kind of sweet treat I needed that day to help me focus on my work. Would definitely recommend this place and location specifically if you're looking for a nice treat and good place to hangout.

I'm guessing this is meant to streamline the process so they can focus on making orders; however as each customer studies the menu.. you could be in line awhile.

Prior to a healthy stir it tasted delicious then upon stirring it became bland and not appealing. My sweetness was 75%

The rolls were good looking and ready when we got there. They normally serve sandwiches and soups but because it was before the holiday, they weren't offering it.

They were pretty large and were a bit dense. I like all bread so no complaints from me. My boyfriend felt they'd be better suited for making a leftover turkey thanksgiving sandwich. Either way, they were good. We snagged a lemon bar and a cherry pie crumble bar. The crust on both was pretty thick. They both had good flavor but I found myself wishing for a bit more fruit filling on both but especially the lemon bar. The cherry pie bar was my favorite between the two but both were delicious. I'll definitely be back and I hope to try a few of their other offerings.

I recently ordered a custom carrot cake for my girlfriend's 30th birthday from Spectacular Cakes by Vivian and was blown away by the result. Vivian was quick to respond, keen to cater to my specific request for a plant-themed cake, and incredibly skilled in her craft. Despite the complexity of my request for frosting shaped like variegated Monstera Albo leaves, Vivian exceeded my expectations with her stunning replication of the leaf design and coloring. Not only was the cake visually spectacular, but it also tasted delicious. Moreover, Vivian managed to prepare this masterpiece within a tight two-day window, showcasing her exceptional efficiency and dedication. My experience with Spectacular Cakes by Vivian was nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend her service for anyone looking for custom cakes that combine artistry with flavor. I'm definitely ordering from her again. read more
