The matcha w/ red bean taiyaki is good, but it doesn't need the extra flair, honestly. So tasty on its own. I'm not a huge ice cream fan, but this was really enjoyable. Service was quick too, if that is important to anybody. Definitely will come back!

It looks aesthetically appealing in their photos online but it wasn't as good as it looked. Saw…read morethis off Yelp so decided to try it. We were the only customers. The girl working the counter was a young girl just getting by her summer day job. She was nice but timid. It was our first time there and a little more energy on her end could've been better. Ordered the ube swirl, pineapple dole whip, mung bean taiyaki, and a custard one togo. The taiyaki that goes onto the ice cream is a lot bigger than one we ordered to go. I thought it would be as big, but when I got it, it was so much smaller and flat. Also, the taiyaki that goes on top of the ice cream was old. It had been sitting there for a while or was made earlier as it was hard and difficult to bite. The red bean inside I also assumed was a paste like how they make the Japanese version, however there were whole pieces in there. It was okay, but I thought they'd be like paste. Overall, the only thing that was good was the ube swirl and the pineapple dole whip. It was also extremely warm in the shop, like no AC in the triple digits summer heat. Had to eat it elsewhere. I most likely won't be back.

Food & Ice Cream: 5/5 This is no ordinary ice cream spot!…read moreThey specialize in bolo bun (pineapple bun) ice cream sandwiches, so if you love both pineapple buns and ice cream, this place hits the spot every time. I'm so happy they're still around! So far, I've tried the sesame, Coffee & Cookies, and Nutella Cookies & Cream flavors. I love that they let you sample the ice cream before deciding. Once you choose, they make the bolo bun ice cream sandwich fresh for you and can even cut it in half if you want to share. Customer Service: 5/5 The sampling makes it easy to explore different flavors without committing right away, and I appreciate that they're happy to cut the sandwich in half for sharing. Location & Parking: 5/5 The shop is tucked away on the side of a shopping plaza, so it can be easy to miss. There's plenty of free parking available, though, which makes stopping by convenient. Ambiance: 5/5 It's a great little hangout spot with seating and games available. The atmosphere is usually quiet and low-key since it hasn't been very crowded during my visits, making it a nice place to sit, enjoy dessert, and hang out. Overall: 5/5 Such a unique dessert spot that I'm happy is still around. The bolo bun and ice cream combination keeps me coming back, and I'll definitely stop by whenever I'm in town!

Warm, crispy, fluffy...JUST TRY IT!!! Perfect affordable ice cream spot that feels like getting good value for money, which seems pretty rare these days. Service is always genuine (I think it's the owner who served me the times I've been there, not sure, but feels like he cares about customers). Open during the day, when 626 isn't. It's in a center on the side of the building where it's a bit hard to see from the street, but has good amount of parking.

The ice cream itself was a little chalky but definitely still hit the spot on this hot day. Pricing was not great. $6.95 before tax/tip for a single 4oz scoop was, in hindsight, not worth it. Additionally, I'm not the biggest fan of non-server tipping, and just like most other places, Mother Moo Creamery has a big ole' "Add Tip" option when paying. Yikes. Great staff. Fine ice cream. Horrendous price per serving. Overall 3/5 stars.

My personal favorite was the honey lavender but all of them were tasty and refreshing. What I liked about all the ones we tried was that everything tasted non-artificial. Everything tasted like they used real ingredients which is much appreciated! They have a wide selection to choose from and a few new speciality flavors a month. Plenty of seating. The perfect spot for dessert!

I was challenged recently to hit more local spots in my area and I have waited long enough to write…read morethis review. I have been going to Moo Moo Mia for a while now and it has been one of my favorite delights when it comes to craft ice cream. They offer monthly flavors along with some more original staples and lets be honest, with summer looming, knowing a great ice cream spot is always a must. There are monthly flavors so I recommend swinging by early in the month to check out what great flavors they have cooked up. At the time of my visit, I was hooked on the Strawberry Koldski which was inspired by the Danish roots and a mix of sweet and tart Strawberry. I got a double and I simply wanted more. My go to, is the Oreo and Cream which is one of the best Cookies and Cream variants I have ever had. Everyone is super nice and you can have tastings of the different flavors until you land on one. Trust me, some flavors hit on different days! The shop is in the famous Monrovia shopping area, which adds to the allure of visiting. Parking is free and sitting and having a cup of ice cream in one of the benches is such a treat. Swing by and chill and enjoy some great ice cream! Cheers!

I came here with a friend after dinner to get some dessert. There was no line, so we were able to…read moretry some samples and order right away. I tried the lychee and matcha soft serve flavors, and ended up getting the matcha flavor. Those flavors were good, the lychee and matcha were pungent. But the texture of the soft serve wasn't my favorite. The texture wasn't my favorite, it was more of an icy texture as oppose to a creamy silky texture which I would have preferred. I usually like the Oreo topping on my soft serve since it gives it a crunch, but it just didn't taste that good after a few bites. This soft serve was also a bit pricey, it was around $7 for the soft serve and topping, which was a bit disappointing since it wasn't that great. My friend also got their crunchy nut ice cream and didn't like it. I wish I liked this place more since they have Asian flavors but unfortunately it wasn't my favorite. Maybe if they improve the texture of their soft serve, I would reconsider.

I say, "what does that mean??" He said they can only make 1 of my 3 drinks and i would have to choose 2 more that are not blended. I tell him to give me a dew minutes, i then proceed to request 2 new drinks... he then tells me they are out of boba. ‍‍‍ At this point i told him to just give me 2 random drinks. I am not going to sit there all night only to be told they are out of stuff or their machines are not working. One blender? I mean if this is your bread and butter, i would suggest getting a 2nd blender, even if it's a crappy one from Walmart for $35. This is like a hamburger stand telling you they don't have a grill to make a burger. Also, out of boba on a Tuesday (off night??) Stock up. Who's doing inventory? I was more angry at the fact that they let over 30 minutes go by and didn't tell me via email or phone call that the blender was down. I would canceled my order and promptly received a refund... i hope. I wasn't offered any kind of remedy. No partial refund, no refund, no extra drinks. Just your kinda outta luck. We don't have the proper tools to make you a drink. I will never return here again. I used to like this place and even used to come here when they offered 3 drinks for the price of 2. After spending $20 on 3 drinks (2 of them not even being my choice). I will forever skip this place for the humongous disappointment and terrible service. There are boba places all around this area. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Water is reasonably priced & they do in fact accept card payments (with a fee). Overall, there are plenty of signs if socializing isn't your thing, quick & convenient for being self serve, and open late, unlike other places.

They have quite a lot of seating inside, but its rare to get a table, as its always packed! The person taking our order was friendly and helpful! We ended up getting a vanilla cloud cold brew and a butterfly floral latte. Both are delicious! I love myself a strong coffee flavor, so when I saw they had one of my favorite things ever (cold brew), I was practically jumping up and down for joy. I was not disappointed, as the coffee flavor punches through and makes itself very known. One of my favorite sips I've had in a while. The floral latte was really tasty too! You can really taste the distinct flavors, and its nice and creamy without being super overwhelmingly rich. Definitely recommend. Overall, my first experience with Fika Fika was very positive! I'll be coming back for some more cold brew for sure! Also want to try their ice cream. Some of the items are shaped like super cute pandas and capybaras so I want to give that a try as well. Fika Fika gets an 8.5/10 rating and a recommend from me!!

Ambiance 3 stars the place was small and cluttered. The tables were placed so closely together making it hard to get through. Unattended tables were sticky and left with trash.
