    Ranging from snow cakes, appetizers, salads, soups, entrees and more, this is your perfect cafe destination. Looking at the menu, it took forever to order because everything looked really good. I ended up going with their popcorn chicken entree which was the perfect balance of greens, protein and carbs from their purple rice. Chicken was pretty standard for popcorn chicken but tasted hot and fresh. Their miso salmon and peppercorn ribeye steak looked really good too. I tried their sweet peach drink too which was good too, a bit sugary but was fine. I was co-working and it was honestly a great spot to just relax, eat, drink some boba and get some work done. With free Wifi, bathroom, it just was a comfortable spot and it wasn't too busy in there that it distracted us. I would most definitely come back if I was in the area and I really am intrigued about their desserts.

    I'm so happy I finally got the chance to try Ever After Tearoom & Eatery! Ambiance: This place is super cute and a great spot to hang out with friends. I love that they're pet-friendly too. They even have little dog bowls with water at the entrance for your pups, and you can sit at the outdoor tables if they're not service animals. Inside is pretty spacious as well. Even though there aren't a ton of tables, it doesn't feel crowded and it's easy to move around without bumping into people. Service: Ordering is simple--you can order with the cashier or use their kiosk. Once you place your order, they give you a pager that lets you know when your food is ready. Quick and easy. Food/Dessert: They offer both hot meals and desserts like rice and noodle dishes, they also have items for your dogs as well so they can enjoy , but we mainly came for the dessert. Their shaved ice is what they're most known for and wow--it's so light, fluffy, and delicious. You can add different toppings, and the portion is pretty big so it's definitely shareable. My only small wish is that the toppings lasted a little longer because once they're gone, you're left with just the ice. Overall it was really delicious and such a cute place to visit. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here. Thank you Ever After for a great experience--you'll see me again soon!

    We stopped by here for a later dinner around 8pm; there was plenty of seating available and it seemed dog-friendly. The decorations were really cute (and fairy-tale like). The restaurant was entirely self-service, there were kiosks to order from, and our order was ready fairly quickly. We tried the Crispy chicken noodle soup and Pork chop noodle soup. It turns out both noodle soups had exactly the same broth, just different meat. I liked both noodles, but the pork chop seemed a bit more tender than the chicken. We also had the mango chrysanthemum tea which was good and not too sweet. I saw a good number of customers order shaved snow which looked good, I would definitely try that next time we're in the area!

    What a cute little gem in a random plaza! Was craving something refreshing after dinner and this hit the spot! There's plenty of parking in the lot and upon entering- definite plus. Inside decor was cute and you go up to a little kiosk near back to order yourself and then find a table. The shaved snow was very customizable and you could get almost anything on the side or added on. We ordered the Summer Farm shaved snow and it came with a variety of fruit and toppings (I added a side of boba). One plus of this place is that they actually layer in toppings within the shaved snow- definite not stingy on it! Service was friendly. It was crowded and did take a short while for the food to come out but there was a sign warning us ahead of time. Overall, definitely plan to frequent this place!

    This is my go-to place for comforting snacks while getting some work done. There are plenty of seatings inside and outside. It's self-service style: you place an order at the kiosk, grab a pager, then come back to get your food when it's ready. My favorite here is the taro and pork chop oat porridge - warm, comforting, and quite healthy, with a generous portion. Their shaved ice is also delicious. Things I hope they can improve on: some of the water cups are really old and don't look sanitizing. Tables could also be cleaner sometimes. It would be great if they pay more attentions to these details. As for wifi, you can use the free wifi from Starbucks nextdoor.

    Shaved snow came up as a topic at a Yelp event, and it immediately brought back some nostalgia for me. Years ago, I used to take my daughter and her friends to Snow Station & Snow Monster in Westminster/GG when she was in high school. Viral at the time but then it seemed to disappear from the scene, and I hadn't seen it in a long time. Turns out it never really went away... it's been kept alive through Korean culture as "Bingsu" (proun: ~BingSoo) , the ultra-light shaved ice dessert that looks and feels like fluffy snow but takes like ice cream (my fav). Once I connected that dot, I had to go check it out right away. I headed to ETR & Eatery in Irvine after seeing the great reviews. The space is cute and floral -- rose wallpaper, chandeliers, ivy accents...fast-casual ordering but with a charming (ok a bit girly) tea-room vibe. Varied menu too: plenty of food options, boba drinks, and multiple dessert variations. I ordered the mango carriage bingsu (their most popular). The menu says it serves 2-4. I was skeptical and alone...but challenge accepted. Yep, I finished it, and I was stuffed and a bit uncomfortable on the drive home. It's essentially a full meal disguised as dessert. Definitely shareable, though manageable if you're committed and a bit of a food-pig like me. The texture is light and airy, true shaved milky snow, not snow cone chunky ice. Fresh mango on top, sweet but not heavy. It comes with its own pudding layer, which was better than the extra crème brûlée, I added on the side (probably unnecessary). The ordering screen said up it could be up to a 30-60 minute wait during busy times. I went at 2:30 PM and it took maybe three minutes. So don't panic -- just ask how long, if you're short on time. Large front patio, dog-friendly, pleasant indoor seating. Probably not ideal for takeout since it would melt quickly but great do groups of friends or fam. Bottom line: nostalgia met curiosity, large size...conquered and I'm officially back on the shaved show/bingsu train.

    vegetarian fried rice
    Risha S.

    Not many savory vegetarian dishes, but the one I had was delicious. I got the vegetarian fried rice, and it was the perfect warm dish after a long day. This was my first time trying black rice and it was a good combination with the rest of the vegetables. I like that you can come here to catch up with friends over a meal or even study. Lots of seating too!

    Chloe L.

    One of my favorite dessert spots in Irvine! The shaved snow is really good and they have some really unique and fun flavor combinations. The pudding that they put on top of all of the shaved snow is honestly the best part. In addition to desert, they also have some healthy, savory food options, such as noodles and rice. However, I felt that the savory options weren't as good as their dessert options so I would definitely stick to disordering dessert and drinks at this place. Because they are a tea shop they have a good selection of tea and boba and specifically I really enjoy the chrysanthemum tea because there is no caffeine!

    A delight. I came here two times with friends and truly, I thank TB for showing me this place. The food is clean and delicious. Going with the signature dishes is a must when it's your first time visiting. Everything is well kept and gives a home-y atmosphere. You can tell from the interior design and the cute utensils that everything is done to ensure cleanliness with style. The service has been kind and quick which I'm very glad for because it helps the line go by faster for the good number of people who come by. God bless you all+

    Taiwanese conjoins French cuisine Food: I had my appetite hopes on the beef noodle with rib but my fault going an hour before closing they sold out. I settled on the Crispy Chicken noodle soup with Satay broth. It was a chilly night and wanted a comforting soup. The crispy chicken was solid dark pieces and ordered extra noodles in lieu of veggies. The broth was hot temp (not lukewarm) but a little salty. It was a good compromise. Drinks: Matcha Brûlée topped with cheese foam and creme brûlée most definitely sugar in a cup and beautifully crafted as it reminded me of a frap. Osmanthus Oolong Tea good old faithful oolong floral notes - I would get again and they honor light ice. Dessert: Black Forest with blueberry jam option and add-on panna cotta. It was like a fluffy chocolate pudding ice vibes. It was light in taste on the outside and as one eats the way to the rich chocolate core. Fresh strawberries and almonds offer a sundae presentation. Easily feed 4 people! Service: The place is fairly busy thus ordering from the kiosk is necessary. This can be difficult if one is new and would like personal suggestions and help. The one staff member on bar was overwhelmed and could benefit from more employees in front house with them. Overall: would come again to try the Taiwanese beef noodle with rib during earlier hours!

    Such healthy food options!! My favorite is their basil Thai chicken rice entree that comes with the black rice. The beef noodle soup is on the light soup side (healthier not oily) and the oatmeal congee is quite unique. It's truly made of oatmeal. Fried chicken is solid as expected. Service - fast casual Ambiance - fast casual, order and pick up at the counter and sit down. The air indoors could be a little better (a little stuffy indoors)

    Came here on a Saturday evening and it was packed with people sitting both inside and outside. We ordered on the kiosk and since they had no buzzers left we sat down and waited to be called. It took about 20 mins to get our food. The beef noodle was humongous and super delicious. The noodles had a bite to them and the meat was super tender. The soup was also super flavorful. The basil fried rice was super unique with tons of stuff in it. I like how they use purple rice and you can defiantly taste the basil. The basil is not a light flavor so i wouldn't get it if you're not a huge fan of basil. The chicken pieces in it were also super soft. The popcorn chicken was very good. It was crispy and i was a bit skeptical about it considering they said they use white meat but it was also super tender and the batter was seasoned well. Finally the shaved ice. By this point we were pretty full (3people) since the portions were larger than expected but we have never seen a purple rice shaved ice before so we had to try it. It is unique -- purple rice and red bean along with a scoop of taro on the top. There is also pudding under all the ice. The crystal boba on the side also gave it more texture and was great. Overall super delicious and would come back if i am ever in the area. All the foods are flavored well and have a special twist to their dishes.

    Can it accommodate group of 10?

    The dining room has more than enough seating, but you probably have to push together two tables to seat 10 together.

    Hi, do you have vegan snow options?

    I'm sorry we do not have vegan snow.

    Is any of your meat halal?

    I am sorry at this moment. We do not have halal meal

    Are the beef noodle soup's ingredients like beef, vegetables and noodles organic?

    No, they are not. However, our dishes are light on oil, and the broth is simmered with fresh vegetables for over eight hours to bring out the most nutritious flavors.

    Is this cafe cat friendly as well? I'd like to bring mine in a stroller. :)

    Yes we are

    Do you have many vegetarian options besides the spicy Thai fried rice?

    We have other options, such as Hawaiian fried rice with tofu, vegetarian oatmeal porridge, and vegetarian fried rice

    Do you have any vegan options?

    Yes

    Is the snow ice dairy or nondairy?

    They are dairy. However the oat milk snow contains very minimal dairy compare to other flavors.

    Has anyone brought other pets here before? I usually only see people bring their dogs here

    Good morning I have not seen any customers bring their pets other than dogs so far :)

When I searched on Google for ice cream near me- chocolate shoppe ice cream popped up then upon looking further I realized it was sold within duck donuts. Still ventured to try it Two guys working, one said he was new, and didn't know where all the flavors were / allowed us to try some b4 we ordered but was a pain bc the flavors were spread between two freezers in front of store and whatever was in the back. Placed an order for 3 double scoop cups (all they had) and took a really long time to make them having to figure out where the flavors were between the front and back of store. Then. They didn't have lids to cover them or a bag to put them in - so we literally covered each cup with another cup and put in a box I had from Costco in my trunk to get them home without dripping everywhere in my car. And I say dripping everywhere bc by the time he finished the last cup/. The others were melted from taking so long. They should probably just stick to donuts if they can't fully support the ice cream products. If I knew now/ I wouldn't have chosen to try there for ice cream. Very unfortunate, bc we probably would have loved the ice cream - but the experience clearly trumped the product.

My favorites were definitely the lavender, pistachio, and the Italian chocolate. The lavender was the most unique and would absolutely be the one I bring to wow new people. The pistachio was rich, creamy, and really well balanced. The Italian chocolate was deeply chocolatey, exactly how I like it, and I finished the whole thing in one sitting. The rose flavor is definitely for people who truly enjoy rose desserts. The strawberry was the only one that did not fully match my expectations from a high end bakery. The tiramisu was decent, more cream-forward and lighter on the coffee flavor than I expected. Overall, these pastries are definitely on the sweeter, cream-based side, and honestly, that is exactly what made them so good to me. I do not want desserts to be less sweet, I want them to feel indulgent and perfect, and these did. I will absolutely keep going back, especially for the lavender, chocolate, and pistachio pastries.

They also have whole cakes available without having to preorder but the flavors depends on days so it's worth to get a birthday cake here. Their slices are about $14 each but we typically don't finish one per person and always get multiples to try so don't let the price tags scare you. Ambiance wasn't anything impressive except for the displays of crepes, which always pleasing to eyes. Service was normal. They don't give out free plates unless we asked though

Instead, he recommended the *Creamtella* and their matcha beverages. I was absolutely blown away; who would have thought that *Cheesetella's matcha drinks would be this delicious?! There is a wide selection of matcha drinks available in-store. The owner mentioned that they use high-quality matcha (I'm guessing he meant ceremonial grade?), and he even showed me their preparation process--specifically how they whisk it to achieve that smooth, "mirror-like" finish! Matcha Einspanner Personally, I prefer this kind of simple flavor profile: matcha blended with a rich, thick cream topping. It offers a satisfyingly subtle tea aroma with every sip--a true delight for any matcha enthusiast! Strawberry Matcha w/ Pistachio Cream If you love strawberries and enjoy sweet flavors, you'll likely enjoy this one. However, since I'm not personally a huge fan of the combination of strawberry jam and matcha, I felt just "okay" about it--though it is a tasty drink! The pistachio cream topping definitely earns some extra points here! Creamtella The combination of cream and cake gave me a whole new appreciation for their pastries. The cream perfectly counteracts the cake's tendency to be a bit dry; together, they make for a truly perfect pairing! You absolutely *must* give this a try!! It gets a huge thumbs-up from me! Chocotella This one is fairly standard and straightforward. The small chocolate pieces add a nice textural element, and the flavor is a definite plus--especially if you're a chocolate lover! However, the cake itself leans a bit toward the drier side--much like their original plain flavor (which is why I still highly recommend going for the versions with added cream!) To be honest, the first time I tried their cakes, I wasn't particularly impressed. Later, I saw posts suggesting that heating them up before eating makes them taste much better. But this time, the *Creamtella* truly blew me away, completely changing my opinion of the brand. And the matcha drinks are just the icing on the cake! The owner is genuinely a wonderful person--so friendly and enthusiastic! Since it's just him and one other employee working in the shop, making the drinks takes a little time, so please be patient! ^_^
