Excellent kakigori (Japanese shaved ice dessert). The coffee was just ok, not great, I won't be ordering it again next time. Nice environment. Good service. Minimum one order per person.

Delicious! I was recommended this flavour and I’m not sure exactly what it is but it is incredible. The flavour is distributed perfectly throughout so you never get a flavourless bite. I enjoy this so much. It is exactly what I needed! I will be back!
Edited: came back the next day! Tried one of their fruity flavours and it was amazing too! Didn’t find it too sour like I had saw some say! Come for hot and cold days! You’ll love it!
Didn’t have to wait long at all to enjoy this treat! The customer service is so wonderful, I had such a wonderful time!

Creative Kakigori flavors, some with pudding and/or cream. One large table in the main room with clear dividers for different parties, high bar seating, and a lower area with more intimate seating.
