Parking wasn't ideal, the nearby parking garage was very compact and difficult to maneuver. There is some street parking in front, but it was all taken when we visited. I ordered the Lavender Matcha Latte along with some desserts and ice cream. All items came out quickly and just as ordered. I don't have a bad thing to say about the menu. There is plenty of seating inside, making it a great option for dessert with large groups. We had 7 adults and 2 kids with no issues finding seating during our visit. The staff were kind enough to make conversation with my toddler. I appreciated their patience as I encouraged him to order for himself at the counter. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back if I am ever back in the area again :)

This review is based on two visits. The first time I stopped by here the ice cream was phenomenal…read more I went with the dark chocolate and the texture was my favorite. I hate runny ice cream and this was the complete opposite. It was chewy and showed zero signs of ice cream soup even after 5 minutes. I loved it so much I came by the next day with the kids. I ordered the exact same flavor and what I got was a soupy mess. I'm not sure what changed within 24 hours but I was so disappointed. I don't know if something went wrong with the freezers but the ice cream clearly wasn't being chilled at the right temperature. Texture aside, the flavors here are great. I'm hoping it was a fluke so I can give this place their last star.

Diana, Ambassador to Themiscyra, prepares for battle the night before as many of Homer's mythic heroes do, by praying to the God of their devotion. For Wonder Woman, that is Athena: Goddess of Wisdom; and we aren't told if Athena answers her prayers aloud. But what if, being prescient, Athena decided to interfere with Ares' plans, to prevent her champion, Diana of Themiscyra, from having to blind herself using the fangs of one of the severed vipers from Medusa's head? And what if Athena knew the fight was going to be held nearby 7106 Minstrel Way in Columbia, Maryland, and that Medusa's true weaknesses were gigantic, fruit-filled danishes (with seasonal choices of strawberries, cherries, apples, blueberries, or lemons); chocolate-filled, buttery croissants whose flakiness approaches even those of great French pastry chefs; and succulent sandwiches (chicken BLTs on ciabatta, turkey Reuben's on rye, bagels and lox with cream cheese and fresh slices of red onion) that prompt Medusa's own deadly serpentine follicles to salivate? The battle may have ended in seconds with Wonder Woman still wearing her helmet, no worse for wear. Although we may have lost a truly-great comic-book reading experience that still resonates to this day, our stomachs would sing and remember what Wonder Woman ordered from Bonheur Patisserie and Deli in verses and song.

Kyoto Matcha is such a dessert staple in the DMV. The matcha soft serve is the most classic item…read moreand I usually get the matcha only. But you can get the soft serve with half vanilla to break up the taste. The matcha flavor is clear and the ice cream is so creamy. It's good potion size and despite the price, it's worth it everytime for me. We also tried the rose lychee cake! I personally really liked it but some of my friends thought it tasted a soap haha. We thought it would be a circle cake like in the electronic ordering pictures but it's actually a square. Service was amazing, the staff was very patient. Seat is limited, it is hard to fit large groups more than 5.

Delimanjoo is a hidden gem in Ellicott City - their taiyaki is a must-try!…read more The stand is located inside Lotte Plaza, all the way down left from the entrance. They sell roll cakes, Korean pastries, and snacks, but my go-to since childhood has been their taiyaki - fish-shaped pastries with red bean custard filling. They're always served fresh and hot, which is a plus. The ladies running the stand are sweet as well, and it's pretty grab-and-go. Each fish costs $2.50, which is higher than before, but reasonable. I highly recommend checking this place out! I often find myself craving taiyaki, so I'll certainly be back.

The red bean taiyaki was pretty good and had a bit of a crunch when it was warm but kinda less so when it turned cold and soggy. A good point was that the red bean filling was not overly sweet like in some other dessert fillings. My sister and niece went back the next day to get more and was met with "What do you want?" in a really testy, I can't be bothered with you kind of questioning when it was their turn to order. This time he did make the vanilla cream ones but his overall attitude soured us to the patroning experience. Not sure we would go back again based on piss poor attitude alone. BTW, the vanilla cream ones were just ehhhh!

The pick-your-own system of getting a tray and tongs to select your items helps save time but makes it hard to not get one of everything. Like I said, a dangerous place ... and so worth it.

There were unique flavors…read moreranging from pistachio matcha (for taste of Dubai ) to honey lavender matcha (if you're needing a sip of relaxation). I enjoyed how fresh and cohesive the flavors were! There's also a variety of pastries offered. These are baked in their Columbia location and brought to Arundel Mills. I was intrigued by the variety of savory treats, some topped with cheese and beef, others with vegetables. I was also delighted to see macaroons, that looked pretty authentic. With all the solid options present, I landed in a pistachio donut! Now, I will say I had a bit higher expectations for the donut. The donut itself was delicious, but I would have appreciated more pistachio throughout the cream in the center or maybe even skipping out on the cream altogether. Overall I think it was certainly worth a try. The matcha, for sure, stole the show! I will be back to try another flavor of matcha and a savory pastry!
