    Interior
    Nayala S.

    The pricing seems a bit high when you first look over the menu, but once we saw the serving size, I suppose it makes sense (at least for us). The two of us were able to split the small matcha soft serve ice cream with cookie dough toppings ($9.60 total). The ambience isn't the best - it feels like half storefront, half stocking area in the back. The cold white interior isn't very inviting. There are a few cute Japanese/Korean style decor items and dolls, but something about the style of the interior just felt disjointed. A large group of around 12 students came in 10 minutes after us, and the younger crowd seems to enjoy the place.

    Strawberry Ice Cream and Graham Crackers and peanut butter chips
    R. F.

    Ice cream can't be a bad thing and this place is no exception. Creamy and delicious with toppers like graham crackers and peanut butter chips. The flavors are not traditional (ie earl grey, etc.)--no vanilla! They also have these little cakes and cookies. The stuff you come in for is good, but the place is physically in rough shape--water leaking from the ceiling into a bucket filled with a bunch of papers. No paper towels or air dryer in the bathroom. Kind of weird. Seating is on these little wooden stools and they have a few long wooden tables designed for groups. Staff people are pleasant enough but not extremely helpful or forthcoming. If they can get the place a bit neater and train their staff to make helpful suggestions it would be a better dining experience.

    I have tried Taro ice creams at other locations and they tasted way better. This did not taste like Taro at all, in fact it really had no flavor, I was very disappointed... the color is even very light. I would not come back to this location. Also you get a lot of ice cream but almost $9 for this bland ice cream is way too much in my opinion.

    Been here twice. The staff are very friendly. The first time we went there, they let us bring our dog in, even though they weren't really a pet-friendly joint. They gave him some whipped cream, too. For a small joint, the place has some decent seating. Most people come in and out. Definitely a great dessert spot after having a good meal in the area. You could even take their mason jars home. If you come back with the jar, you can get a discount off your purchase.

    Tres leches cake jar

    Great customer service! I got the tres leches cake jar, the man patiently answered my questions & let me customize it. The tres leches cake itself was dry considering tres leches is meant to be moist, but the flavors were good. $12 for the small size and you get to keep the jar!

    I used to come to this place all the time but unfortunately this time I really have to give negative review Place is absolutely dirty and dingy. If you are charging 11$ for a bubble tea ice cream from a machine, your counters should at least be clean and the floors shouldn't be disgusting. Really puts the quality and hygienic condition of the food into question

    This place is basically for photos and Instagram. The ice cream looks great but is bland and pretty sub par. The cereal was probably the best part and that's not saying much. The staff was nice but i definitely don't need to try anything else here.

    As the name implies , this ice cream spot is surreal ! I came here on a Friday night around 9pm and it was packed . I ordered the nom nom cookie to share because I had read it is massive and boy was I glad I only ordered one - the ice cream is huge !! I shared with my fiancé and toddler and let me tell you it was so good we finished it all. We were worried it would be too sweet but it definitely was not overly sweet , it was perfect . The price is definitely up there but now I can see it's because these are huge and you can totally share. You also get to keep the mason jar it comes in , so that's cute . Definitely want to go back and try their ice cream bubble tea option . I highly recommend this place!

    The small size cup is quite large. The combination of Vietnamese coffee and matcha flavors went well. I'm not sure if there is a lid that could cover the ice cream part but I was not offered one. It would have been handy. I would return to try other flavors & menu items.

    The place is super cute. All the decorations are charming. My earl grey ice cream had lady fingers and Reese's Puffs cereal both on and in side the jar. Also inside the jar was caramel sauce. It was really hard to eat the lady fingers in the jar. And the caramel sauce made it crazy sweet. It was beautiful to look at but a lot to eat, that's why 3 stars. Also I was surprised they didn't recycle the glass jars.

    Earl Grey Vanilla ice cream with toppings

    If I wrote this review a few years ago when I first tried Surreal Creamery, my rating would've been much higher. But now that their prices have gone up, I just feel like this spot is overrated and overpriced. Over $10 for an average-tasting bubble tea topped with average-tasting ice cream. At least $8 for a cup or cone of ice cream. Their bubble tea is fairly priced at $6-7, but you can get much tastier and richer-flavored bubble tea for the same price elsewhere. If you still wanted to see what all the hype was about, I'd say to go for the the taro/matcha swirl ice cream with some fun toppings (I used to get Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, and Biscoff Cookies). I've had almost every bubble tea flavor and none of them are my favorite among local bubble tea spots, so I wouldn't recommend any flavors from here lol Street parking is hard to find here on weekends, but you should have no issue on weekdays.

    Nom Nom Cookie Mason Jar Special
    Felix E.

    Cozy little spot offering an eco-friendly solution to reduce plastic waste by offering mason jars. They are yours to keep and will give you a $1 discount on your next purchase if you re-use. They have plenty of flavor combinations and the look and taste is simply fenomenal. Highly recommend sharing! I tried the nom nom cookie and it was really great. The mason jar contains a lot of cookies and marshmallows inside and the ice cream flavor was not too sweet which paired nicely with the toppings. They didn't have fruity pebbles but they were able to replace with waffles. Probably for the better!

The interior is incredibly clean with plenty of seating, including both booths and regular tables. The ordering process is seamless, you can either head to the front counter or use the iPad stations for a quick checkout. It seems like it's a local fav spot for both dining in and grabbing a quick to-go order, since it was fairly busy when I was there. I went ahead and ordered the House Special Poke , it had tuna, shrimp, salmon, assorted veggies, ginger, and crispy onions (and of course the rice) . Although the digital ordering system didn't allow for any topping swaps or add ons, there is a comment section at the end of the purchase. To drink, there are tons of fun options like bubble teas and milk teas where you can adjust the sweetness and choose your preferred boba. The real star of the show is the steamed shrimp dumplings. You get eight pieces per order, which is very generous since they are stuffed with shrimp paste and served with a light, sweet dipping sauce. The service is excellent; the staff is happy to provide containers for leftovers, and there is a convenient self-service station for water, silverware, and napkins. Overall, this is such a yummy spot, and I'll definitely be coming back!

They refuse to have any interpersonal interaction with customers. They inform the customers to use the kiosk machine instead. Cleanliness: The store is clean with no garbage or debris left on tables, chairs, floors, or near the garbage can area. Pricing: The drinks and snacks here are decent prices from $5.00 and up. Ube Coconut Vietnamese Coffee: This drink was a little different and it just did not taste great. My friend stated that he was glad he added sugar, but he felt like this drink could have been better as it was not to his liking. Mango Matcha: I have mixed feelings about this drink as it tasted a little weird. One sip it tastes a little sweet and another sip it tastes a little bitter. I think I should have stuck with some mango drink instead. Chocolate Egg Pancake: Last time we got this item it did not have any chocolate filling inside of it. It was just a regular egg pancake but chocolate looking. They perfected this with the chocolate filling inside and it definitely tastes better now. Overall: I do not think I would come out of my way just to come here to get bubble tea. If I am in this area again next time, then I may give it another try with a different drink. They should also start to communicate with their customers because some customers love to interact with people.
