From its humble beginnings as a bubble tea food truck, Teapressu went on to open a store where they sell their refreshing bubble tea drinks, and now ice cream as well. The interior of their store is quite whimsical, with all the sloth themed decor. Plus, they even have a claw machine that you can play. It's such a fun place!
Their ice cream is freshly churned and you can see it churning continuously throughout the day. It's mesmerizing and I could stand at the counter for quite some time, watching the ice cream churn if it weren't for other people coming into the store, wanting to place their orders!
The ice cream flavors they have number less than 10, but they are all wonderful flavors and we were impressed with the quality of the flavors that we tried. The flavors they had when we went were as follows: Rich Black Sesame, 2 Shots Espresso, Premium Earl Grey, Supreme Oolong, Uji Matcha, Creamy Mango with bits, Hokkaido "Milk", abd Very Strawberry.
We ordered Premium Earl Grey and Uji Matcha ice cream, along with their Golden Peach drink. Yum, yum, and yum! While I love a tasty drink I think my love for ice cream is greater, and the ice cream we had at Teapressu was exquisite. The Uji Matcha flavor was very pronounced and while Earl Grey is a flavor that tends to be very much absent in a lot of desserts I've tried, I could actually taste the Earl Grey flavor this time in their Premium Earl Grey ice cream.
