    Ice Sunset Matcha Latte (rating: 5/5)
    Lydia L.

    4.5 stars rounding up to 5 stars. TLDR: delicious ice cream, creative high quality yet pricey matcha latte, but unclear pricing for seasonal drinks, inconvenient setup for ice cream sampling, and not very personable service. We've been to Dordlofva twice so far. The first time we got their ice cream, and the second time we tried their sunset Matcha latte and sorbet. The ice cream/sorbet flavors we tried so far are blackberry & ginger (sorbet), peach cobbler, strawberry cheesecake, and raspberry (sorbet). We liked all of them. The strawberries cheesecake was perfectly creamy when sampled, but can be overwhelmingly rich when you finish the entire scoop. The peach cobbler flavor on the other hand, was not too impressive when sampled, but evolved to taste so well balanced between the sweet and sour, and refreshing at a full scoop. I'd highly recommend complementing the strawberry cheesecake with the peach cobbler flavor. It's a great pair, and their second scoop is very reasonably priced. These two are definitely at the top of my favorite ice cream flavor list. My partner liked both sorbet flavors, but would prefer the raspberry to be more sour. The only caveat with getting ice cream or sorbet at Dordlofva is that they have an extremely inconvenient setup for sampling. They do allow sampling, yet all their flavors are stored in separate round buckets in the freezer. So to sample different flavors, the staff had to take out each bucket, lift the tight lid, and scoop you the sample. It was a painful process to watch and made me feel bad to make sampling requests... I also tried their sunset match latte, in addition to the delicious ice creams. It was creative with a beautiful color palette and great taste combo (bitter match, creamy milk, with refreshing sweetness and sourness from strawberry puree and peach puree). I really enjoyed it, esp. for the fact that it was not too sweet. The only caveat with their seasonal drinks is that they don't clearly list the price. I was a bit surprised to be charged $6+ for this 8-oz drink since their regular match was priced at $5. The cashier was nice to answer questions and provide ice cream samples, but always had a slightly grumpy look that made us feel uneasy to ask more questions or clarify the prices. I would not describe his vibes as friendly...

    Ordered the quiche, brown sugar cookie, latte and a cortado. Latte was great, cortado was a bit strong and food was great.

    Good place to get Matcha, coffee,, and pastry around Fremont. Good service and good prices. I recommend them and will come back.

    Friendly and fast service! They were very helpful in pointing out which of their items were dairy free. They didn't happen to have any dairy free bakery. There's lots of tables in and outside. I enjoyed my London fog and would come back again!

    Fremont has a new coffee shop: DORDLOFVA just had its soft opening! The space is clean, modern, and very inviting, and the service was excellent. I tried a mocha with nonfat milk and a Swedish marzipan knot that they warmed up for me. As someone who enjoys a strong, rich coffee, I felt the mocha could have been a bit more rich in both chocolate and coffee notes, perhaps because I chose nonfat milk. The pastry dough of the mascarpone knot was good, but the marzipan itself was quite subtle, lacking the flavor I'd hoped for - though that might just be my personal preference. Regardless, it's wonderful to have another coffee option in Fremont!

If you can find parking in the Cap Hill area I would definitely consider this as an option for a sweet treat. I think the prices are really reasonable considering some of the other options. Staff: 5/5 (nice) Sanitation: 5/5 (clean) Soft serve w/syrups (5/5) I've had most of the syrups that they offer with their vanilla soft serve. The soft serve itself is a really creamy and rich vanilla milk flavor. I would say it's closer to that Asian milk flavor if you know what I mean. I think the hojicha syrup is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried so far. It has a really nice roasty flavor and not something you can find at most other places. The matcha I would say is my second favorite. The flavor of the matcha syrup is definitely lighter compared to the hojicha but still is a nice compliment to the soft serve. The black sesame would be the lowest on my list out of the, all since I felt like the flavor was too nutty like it was a blend of sesame and potentially a nut. Overall I would definitely go back for the hojicha but if you're not into that there's definitely solid options for other flavors.

Their fried chicken sandwiches are also excellent and very filling - they are $11-15. The seasonal sandwich right now is the southern bird, which is my favorite. This place was packed on a Wednesday evening, but the line moved quickly since most people were just getting ice cream.

    A restaurant that serves both fried chicken and soft serve is just not something you would expect -…read morebut I found it here. I'll go in the order that I had these. One night, after a dinner nearby, I went here to try the soft serve. It was absolutely phenomenal. The choice of flavors isn't much, but the amount and variety of toppings is awesome. I went with the vanilla and chocolate swirl, with butterscotch hard shell and reese's pieces. Firstly, the texture was so smooth and creamy. It had a great mix of both flavors, and was at the perfect temperature. But the toppings are really what makes this. Hard shell is not something you find often, but being able to break this butterscotch and eat the crunchiness along with the melting ice cream was amazing. The excessive amount of reese's pieces added saltiness and even more texture to the overall thing. It was just wonderful overall. Given that, I was really excited to get the fried chicken sandwich, which I did a week later. Unfortunately, it was really bad. I was just confused at first. How could things have gone so wrong here. I'd heard a lot of good things about the fried chicken sandwich. Yet no amount of online reviews could rescue the reality that was in my hands. The chicken was just awful. There was a ton of breading, practically thicker than the chicken itself. But somehow it just failed to be crunchy - it just felt soggy with every bite. Over-breaded chicken is never a great sign, and the inside was terrible - barely even tasting like chicken. It was super overcooked; no juice at all. The fried chicken piece was also super thin compared to how large the buns were. Just nothing worked on this sandwich at all - including the excessive amount of mayo. It's one of the worst fried chicken sandwiches I've had. Price-wise, the chicken sandwich is actually not too expensive at around $11. The soft serve is about half that, but at a pretty good portion. It's tough for me to come up with an overall rating because the soft serve was so good, followed by a mind-bogglingly bad sandwich. I guess I'd only recommend you come here for dessert. 6.5/10

I honestly didn't realize this was a window shop. We walked into the neighboring restaurant thinking it was attached. Once we figured out it was outside and a window it was easy to navigate. There was a small line but we were helped pretty quickly. The menu didn't have a lot of options. A few flavors add-ons. I went with the Hokkaido milk flavor because I wanted to see if i could taste the difference. First bite it was really milky tasting but the smoothest creamiest ice cream ive ever eaten. The more you eat the more you start to notice a subtle difference. To me it was unique and very enjoyable. I would definitely want to stop by and try other flavors next time im in town. Being they only have a few locations across the US makes this even more special. Thank you for bringing this one of a kind ice cream to the US for us to experience here.

Despite the wait, I have to say yes. This soft serve was incredible. The soft serve on tap is the Japanese-style, with their default flavor being the Hokkaido milk flavor. Having had Hokkaido-style soft serve in Japan earlier this year, I was quite interested to see how it compares. And I'm very happy to say this essentially matches up to the version that I had. This texture is just awesome. It's unbelievably smooth and creamy - feels like there should be another word other than soft to describe how silky tender each scoop feels. It's super light on the sweetness, but strong on the milk flavor. It's the kind of soft serve that makes you think you just ate something healthy. Maybe the one thing keeping this from a higher score is the lack of repeatability. With a very limited menu of flavors and toppings, I don't think I would come back here as I've already tried the reason I was here. But it's still great regardless. Also for 5 bucks, the price is relatively cheap for a kid's size. This really ranks up there as one of the top soft serves in the city. 8.75/10
