I had the brown sugar brulee, and it was divine - not too sweet, the pearls were done just right, and you could taste the brown sugar. My husband had the mango slush and enjoyed the tiny chunks of mango in it. Also had the Hokkaido milk ice cream. Super smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. The ice cream is constantly being churned, which would probably contribute to the smooth texture. You can pay cash or credit, but they have a sign offering a discount if paying in cash. The service here is kind of lacking - not very friendly, and they always look so miserable. There's a tiny parking lot in back.

Gelato is something I would normally want to enjoy with at least one other person; however, I…read moredecided for once to just enjoy it myself. Had a birthday freebie to redeem and well...it's not really free anymore if you're paying for your child to have a scoop of ice cream as well, is it? So while my child was elsewhere, decided to head to Metrotown and treat myself to a free scoop of gelato. I ordered Matcha gelato and it was fantastic! There's something to be said about enjoying life on one's own sometimes. Yes, of course I like enjoying life with others. In fact, most of the time I'd probably rather enjoy these kinds of moments with others. However, there's also some value in learning to enjoy some moments of life on one's own. Perfect example: When one has a bday freebie to redeem and one doesn't want to spend extra money on being able to enjoy that free food with someone because then the food isn't actually free anymore! They make fabulous gelato here, and they have other non gelato related treats as well. Cookies, Macarons and Mochi donuts can be found here. I love that the service wasn't any less just because I was coming in for a freebie. That kind of service gives me more incentive to come and actually spend money at some point in the future.

Also tried their vanilla bean and yuzu. The yuzu wasnt that good and it melted rather quickly. The vanilla bean was amazing. They had a promotion for free toppings.

Plus, ice cream cones from 720 Sweets are $2 each! They had ice cream parfaits and ice cream cones to choose from but since Grayson wouldn't help me finish the parfait I decided to go with a cone instead. At the Burnaby location inside Metrotown mall, they only offer 2 flavours of ice cream, cereal milk and matcha. We decided to go with matcha because Grayson said that the cereal milk one might be a bit too sweet for our liking. I'm glad we ended up choosing the matcha one because it was sooo good. Unlike other matcha ice cream I've had in the past, it had a very strong earthy matcha flavour. You can tell because of how green it is as well. The ice cream was also very firm which I appreciated because it prevented it from melting!

We got one of those and a Durian Smoothie. I think we somehow missed the Greentea part of this drink cuz when we got it, hubby and I were both surprised at how green the drink was. It's only now that I look back at the photo I took of the menu that I realize the word Greentea was in the name of the drink so...not so surprising anymore that our drink was green. I honestly didn't taste much Greentea in it though. Mostly I tasted KitKat and Brown Sugar. Didn't taste any kind of Cheesecake flavor in it. It wasn't a bad drink but I think I prefer the fruity drinks that we've had from this place in the past. I think I'd have also preferred this drink to be slightly less sweet than it was. We brought our drinks home and had them while watching a movie. Hubby sat further back in the room while our daughter and I sat in the front of the room, but I could still smell the Durian smoothie from where we were sitting!

Everything is 100% dedicated gluten-free, which means you can walk in and order anything without the usual cross-contamination stress. For anyone with celiac or gluten sensitivity, that peace of mind alone is huge. But the real star of the show? The ice cream sandwiches. They're hands-down some of the best I've ever had. The cookies are perfectly soft and chewy with a slight crisp, the ice cream is creamy, and the ratio is spot on so every bite is balanced. They feel indulgent, nostalgic, and elevated all at the same time. They also have vegan "nice cream" options, which is such a thoughtful touch. Even if you're dairy-free, you're not stuck with boring flavors -- the vegan options are just as rich and satisfying as the classic ones. The whole place feels like a dream for anyone with dietary restrictions: delicious, inclusive, and made with real care. Whether you're gluten-free or just love amazing ice cream, this spot is absolutely worth the visit. Note that they're also available on Uber Eats!!

Ghost's Drool: The dessert arrives in a ceramic bowl that resembles a cracked egg shell. It contains a warm pistachio paste that's thick and smooth. It's not too sweet, but my sweet tooth definitely craves something a bit sweeter. The drool is actually a melted mochi, which is soft, stretchy, and chewy. This bowl is a delicious showcase of textures. Double Skin Milk Pudding: Somewhere between a custard and a pudding, it's silky, smooth, and really creamy. It has a thick "skin" on top formed as the custard cools, which adds a nice chewy texture to this smooth steamed dessert. Double Skin Milk Pudding with Taro: This version of the milk pudding contains a clump of soft, chewy, purple taro. Black Sesame Soup with Mini Glutinous Rice Balls: The hot black sesame paste is fragrant and nutty, probably the best flavor in this shop. The soupy paste is also thick and smooth. The rice balls are chewy like the mochi. Mochi with Red Bean Paste: This one contains a red bean paste, which is almost like the filling of a sweet potato pie. It is smooth and creamy with the chewy mochi.

We had to try the pistachio groul. The mochi was perfectly chewy and the pistachio was not overly sweet. I enjoyed it warm even though it was a warm day. My favorites were the egg milk cold. It was creamy without being overly rich or sweet. The consistency was nice and I liked it cold. I originally ordered it plain but it was so good I ended up ordering another one with taro paste. I do think the portion of these are a little on the smaller size than what I was hoping for. I've had better in southern CA and was expecting more given the viral videos on Instagram. The red bean with mochi was good. I'm not a huge fan of red bean and tbh it didn't wow me. The black sesame with mochi hot was really good. I enjoyed the thick smooth sesame flavor with just a hint of mochi with each bite. Wish I lived closer and could eat this more often.
