So glad another location opened up in Tyson's Corner on the 3rd floor of the mall (kiosk)…read more Delicious soft serve vibrant ice cream flavors with purple Ube, bright green Pandan, and Cookies and Cream ice cream. The flavors are seasonal with a couple of flavors and a swirl option. While the 9 oz indulgent ice cream topped with delicious Taiyaki waffle cone is worth $10.5, the 6 oz Mini for $6.5 (without the taiyaki) is my pick with a heap of toppings to choose from (the crispy purple wafer is my favorite! While the toppings were fun to try, it can be a bit of an overload, and just get a wafer or two. The Grinch Campfire with swirls of Ube and Pandan flavors was a great pairing! The Pandan flavor has a bold coconut flavor, while the Ube tastes has a more subtle sweet flavor. The Ube Cookies and Cream swirl is a great pairing as well! The server was amazing (she politely asked not for her face to not be photographed). She generously and thoughtfully gave us (kids and I) a heap of toppings with 3 of each - Oreos, Pocky Sticks, and Wafers - so we could all enjoy the toppings individually without sharing them. She telepathically read my mind! Taiyaki fresh soft waffle cone filled with Ube custard was delicious - thanks in due part to the wonderful server who made a fresh waffle cone. I appreciate the extra effort, she easily could have given us a stale Taiyaki from the 20 or so sitting inside the display case. Just the Taiyaki itself is a dessert. While the Taiyaki sometimes look stale, I see servers making fresh ones throughout the day. There are deals going on. so be on the look out! I opted in the text messaging and only paid $1.50 for a Mini ice cream during a special that was running. Excited to come back!

They still tasted fine but just wasn't what I'm used to when getting taiyaki & expected better The girl working was very kind! It's an okay spot, but if you don't go I think there's better places for taiyaki as well.

The store has spots to sit down but the tables are extremely wobbly and dingy. No music or anything playing inside either so it's very quiet. Almost too quiet and spooky quiet. It didn't help make the time pass quicker waiting for the drinks. My favorite out of all 3 was the sparkling lemon iced tea. Think lipton lemon tea with sprite. Very sweet even at 50% less sweetness level. Just warning yall! Parking is free and Amex taken. It's located right next to 99Ranch. The place only opens after 12pm.

It's got this cozy yet futuristic, almost spaceship or submarine feel with dim, cool lighting. When there's foot traffic or events nearby, the energy is super high and fun. Drinks: Sea Salt Coffee OG is bold and intense in a good way, about a 4 out of 5. Great if you like strong coffee flavors. Banana Coffee Latte is made with real bananas, which is a huge plus, but a bit overpowering at first. Pro tip: ask for less sweetness. Both drinks got way better as they diluted a bit. Service was quick and efficient even with a short line, and the staff was friendly and on top of things. Overall, a great late night social spot with EDM music, comfortable seating, and creative drinks. Perfect for hanging out with friends!

I Ordered a taro smoothie :) the menu had a lot of really yummy options- my go tos are always either Taro or honeydew and they had both, so the decision was a little tough. I was intrigued by some of their options, like the rose milk tea! It definitely seems like there is some thing for every flavor profile one could be looking for. They certainly had a lot of coffee options, but I am unfortunately having to forgo coffee during lent. I liked how the cashier gave me a good recommendation. I was going to add some of the sea salt cold foam to my drink and she definitely did not recommend that considering the consistency of the foam. I appreciated that because I definitely didn't want to accidentally ruin my drink. My smoothie came out delicious! They did not skimp on portion, and they also did not skimp on the topping of the lychee jelly! I opted for 70% sweet and it doesn't seem that their drink drinks are overly sweetened to begin with. I definitely will want to come back again! The ambience was very cute. Minimal with some greenery, and I saw a couple ladies sitting in the corner, doing some crochet and yarn work. Very cute small cozy place to catch up with a friend or just relax after a work week.

I was greeted almost immediately but also given time to review the menu myself without feeling rushed. As I ordered my drink, the employee answered my questions and was quick with making the drinks.

The tea itself was not my fav, the flavor was alittle off and all my boba was stuck together.

They did have plenty of other flavors, milks, and I did see some with the actual sealed lids.

The latte was also just the right amount of sweetness and very satisfying. They have the automated kiosks to order from! I only received a text notification when my order was ready. Perfect for introverts, though there was someone behind the counter if you'd rather order with a person. The decor is spacious with lots of comfy seating.
