Truly the best ice cream I have ever had. We came in here after seeing a big image of shaved ice on a hot day.
We got the matcha shaved ice as well as the matcha soft serve. The shaved ice was good but the soft serve was amazing. The flavour was milky but did not have a grassy feeling like some milk flavored products do. They also had free tea which was super yummy. We bought some to take home.

Visited in the afternoon and it was pretty quiet. Once you are designated a seat, you can put through your order via the touch screen machine. Wait time was not that long and you can get some self serve tea. Highlight was the rich strong matcha cream which compliments the fluffy ice. It looks like a lot but because the cream was light and airy, you can eat a lot without filling overwhelmed. Parfait was good too but I think there was too much vanilla ice cream.
