We love coming here whenever we go downtown for dessert! The matcha is the best, and whatever you take from the menu, especially if you’re a matcha lover— will be worth it! There’s usually a line outside whenever we go, and the menu outside the restaurant is much appreciated! There are also chairs you can sit on while waiting. Parking is tough, so we would usually walk to come here or have someone wait for us in the car while we order! Highly recommend their soft serve, it tastes heavenly!

If you’re a matcha lover, this place is a must-visit! Their matcha latte is smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced, with that authentic earthy flavor that real matcha should have. You can really taste the quality of the matcha they use. I also tried their matcha ice cream, and wow — absolutely delicious! Creamy, not overly sugary, and packed with real matcha flavor. It’s refreshing and satisfying without feeling heavy. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and know what they’re doing. Definitely one of the best spots for real matcha in town. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal ice cream and customer service, we visited about x4 within 2 days. The ice cream ACTUALLY tastes like matcha, The flavour of the matcha is strong, rich and earthy, not too sweet. The ice cream is smooth and just melts in your mouth, and the toppings… I got the signature parfait everytime and the mochi, cake, jelly and red bean went together so well. The only thing is that seating is very limited and the location is very busy so beware, other than that we loved this place so much we would find every opportunity to hit it up during our short trip
