    Nightmare before Christmas birthday cake
    Alarice H.

    This place was by far the best experience I've had placing an order for a cake. She was willing to accommodate us on a last minute request for our daughter's birthday that we needed in 3 days. She was very flexible about the filling we requested and the best part was the cake was not only beautiful but delicious. This will be our go to spot from now on!

    I ordered a cake for my son's 1st birthday and it was beautiful! I asked for a Hungry Caterpillar theme. Karen went over all the details with me and listened to what I wanted. For the inside, she suggested a tuxedo flavor with vanilla buttercream and chocolate ganache. Sooo delicious! She did a truly amazing job. I received so many compliments from my guests on how it looked and tasted. I will definitely order from her again.

    What we received.

    This place is a gem and really deserves to be highlighted! Although it looks like a small shop on…read moreMain Street in Metuchen, it's a booming and popular bubble tea place. Love coming here and seeing people from toddler age to folks with their grandparents. Bubble tea is for all! My husband loves to try the new fruity varieties that get added to the menu. Every few weeks there is a new, unique fruit combination that blows him away. I stick to my tried and true Thai iced tea with boba, and NOWHERE else has been able to compete. The details are what makes this place stand out. If you buy multiple drinks, they place your order in an adorable, reusable purple bag. Also, there is a rewards program. So if you're an avid boba drinker, make sure you sign up. Every few orders you can score a free bite to eat or bubble tea. Since it's a hit spot, this place can get packed at peak times (post work hours, and especially on weekends). So happy to have such a lovely shop in my town. Thanks, Akihi!

    While exploring in Metuchen, I came across this dessert/bubble tea spot, and of course, I had to…read moretry it out. The inside was very different from your usual bubble tea spot, and it was very welcoming and cozy. I could definitely see myself just chilling and reading a book while enjoying my food and drink. I placed my order through the kiosk while looking over the menu, which had a lot of good options. I couldn't make up my mind and decided to go with the bubble tea and Oreo waffle crepe. Both items were good, and I enjoyed the waffle, which had ice cream as the filling and was stuffed with fillings, but it was a little difficult to eat since the wrapper is not very practical, and I had to use my hands, so it got a bit messy. Did I regret it? No way, I loved it; hopefully, they would just have a better container for it, lol. Definitely will get a sugar rush, so be careful hahaha. I would definitely go back to try the other flavors

    My first review still stands since it's only been a few months and I've been back a few more times…read more Each visit was great with no complaints. My kids love going here even though they aren't adventurous with flavors. BUT I finally tried their ice cream cake. You can order online if you want specific flavors and they usually have premade ones if you just walk in. I walked in and just ordered in person. It was a Just-Because-I-Want-It cake disguised as a belated birthday cake (which it was, but I got it because I wanted to try it). I got a 6" cake with taro and milk tea flavors inside and it came with two small cones of ice cream on top (I chose soursop and red bean for those). It is not what I expected. It is almost all ice cream with a very thin whipped cream type "frosting" on the outside - and sprinkles! - that made it look like a normal cake until you cut into it. No layer of actual flour-based cake inside. It's solid ice cream. Since it's perfectly sweet, it worked great! Also excellent for those who may have a wheat allergy (unless you get the cookie flavors) so now I'm considering one for my kid with food allergies (but not to milk). And that's the update to my review. Still a stellar place to get ice cream.

    I am obsessed with this ice cream shop because:…read more The flavors are amazing! (Black sesame, Thai iced tea, etc). The owner is soooo sweet It's next to some of my favorite Asian food spots so it's a great place to end a meal with friends or to have a date night The only thing I don't love is it's not a picturesque location on route one and minimal seating but that doesn't stop me from coming here!

    This place is dangerous for my health! The fact that it's only few minutes drive from home, I can…read moresee myself coming here often. It's located on the 1st floor of the mall, near Macy's and Rain Forest Cafe. It's a small store front. You place your order and yes, there's pictures so you kinda know what the final order may look like before you place your order. An order cost $7.99 but you do get about 8 rolls of ice cream and unlimited toppings and the portion size can be shared for two. Note: I said it can be shared but not that anyone would want to after one bite. The cool part is you get to see them make your roll and how the ice cream went from liquid form to actually frozen ice cream roll. The staff is also very nice! They ask you what toppings you'd like and yes, you can take your time to decide. They don't rush you and they don't judge you either, haha. It seems to be a very popular place. I came on a Friday evening and was the third and I thought last customer ordering on the line. I ordered and paid and before I know literally a bus stop came by. There's about 20 people making a line afterwards. The wait was a bit long because there were many orders to make. There's only two staff and one of them was ringing up orders at the cashiers. I hope they have more employees for the weekend and summertime. This place can be a really big hit for mall goers. I will definitely come back to try other flavors ice cream roll and toppings!
