    Flavors 05/09/25

    Stopped by after dinner tonight for some dessert. Really small shop with a small selection of interesting flavors. You could get one flavor with a single scoop and two with a double. A dollar extra for a waffle cone. Cash only. It was a very transactional experience. Quick and to the point. Ambiance is a little cold. Usually I'd expect colors and ice creams on display to help with visuals, but everything's very plain and tucked away. I had the lychee mango scoop. It was creamy, sweet, but lacked a fruity tartness that I was looking for. It's more cream than mango or lychee. The cone's standard. For the price point, I thought it'd be better. It's by no means a bad stop if you just want a little treat, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    I am a fan of anything black sesame and their ice cream hits the spot! It's a small spot so there's no dine in, cash/debit only and unfortunately they don't let you try samples. However, I love the unique asian-inspired flavors that they offer here, very creative

    Stopped by and was surprised they had a childhood favourite flavour, Want Want! The flavour came through so nicely and was just what I needed on a hot day

    Very tasty ice cream, if you like mildly sweet ice cream that's very creamy. For reference, it's a bit sweeter than Earnest, but not much. Something's wrong with the way they store the ice cream, though, since it's pretty common to get chunks of ice in your ice cream here. For ice cream that's $5 for a single scoop or $7.50 for two scoops, with fairly small scoops (two scoops here is more like one scoop at places that are generous with their portions and they don't allow you to sample flavors), I feel like you should expect to be able to get ice cream that doesn't have big ice crystals in it. The service is also, while not bad, pretty indifferent. They just don't seem to care? I'll take good ice cream over good service, but it's a bit unusual to have a little independent ice cream shop where people seem to be so indifferent to customers.

    SO GOOD but somewhat pricey. They have definitely pinpointed my weakness in ice cream. I will pay for anything with Asian flavors or is tea-flavored. It was so hard to choose a flavor because I wanted to eat them all. We went with 2 scoops of roasted oolong milk tea and Japanese black sesame. Texture-wise, it was creamy but the black sesame was a little grainy/ icy. The flavors were intense and spot-on though. For the price ($7.50 for a double), the scoops were rather small. They also don't give out samples and there is no seating inside. The vibe of the place came off a little cold and awkward, not sure if it was the service or that we couldn't eat our ice creams standing inside even though we were the only customers.

    Got their Shanghai Milk Tea and the right has the Egg Tart & Pineapple Cake. It's on the pricey end of ice cream but I love that they have Asian flavours, it's so yummy~ I really liked the pineapple cake, it was a lot more potent flavour-wise than the egg tart. They definitely perfect t their tea flavours though! No seating though. So you can stand outside or in your car hahah!

    The best time to get ice cream is on a rainy day! I've heard many things about J squared since they've opened and I finally decided to give them a try. I got a double scoop of black sesame and Thai iced tea. Scoops were decently sized -- definitely not small, but unsure whether it is worth the price point. They're also a smaller shop with no place to sit, so it's best to grab and go. Black Sesame: I really enjoyed the black sesame flavour of the ice cream - very good pick if you like black sesame! The flavour was very potent and I really enjoyed the texture of this ice cream as well. I liked how it tasted very similar to the black sesame soup Chinese dessert (but in ice cream form). Thai Iced Tea: The taste of this was more simple and not much of a strong "Thai iced tea" flavour. This may have been because the flavour was drowned out by the strong taste of the black sesame. After eating the black sesame, the thai iced tea flavour was virtually gone. Might be a good pick if you were to eat it on its own or along with other ice cream flavours that were not as strong. I'm inclined to come back to try all their other flavours. The one thing I like about J squared is all the different ice cream flavours that are not sold anywhere else. Everything on the menu sounds really good and it's tough picking which few you're going to try out (p.s. currently no samples due to COVID19, but maybe there will be after).

    COVID #20 It's good. New kid on the Island. Ditchmond, that is. It took a while for someone to finally do an Asian flavour inspired ice cream shop in the most densely Asian populated area in the Lower Mainland. The one I liked the most? Roasted oolong milk tea. It had a deep and rich roasted tea flavour. On par with Crema Ice Cream's milk tea ice cream in terms of flavour intensity and texture. Dole whip is good if you love pineapples. Matcha was a bit disappointing. I didn't like the texture. There was a bit of a powdery after taste, but flavour wise it was good. You'll have to try for yourself. Small shop near the back south-east corner in a strip mall. Easy to miss if you blink.

    Very smooth ice cream, doesn't leave a thick creamy residue in your mouth. Perfect hardness. Sweet enough to bring out the flavours. Plenty of parking in the lot out front. They don't do split scoops for 2 flavours.

    It's never too cold for ice cream, am I right? I've wanted to visit this ice cream shop since I heard of it on facebook and a few days ago I finally made it happen. So many tea-inspired ice creams and some special flavours as well - Oolong, Milk Tea, Matcha to Dole Whip, Oreo or Black Sesame. Tonight I tried London Fog and Disney Dole Whip as a double scoop ($7.50). The London Fog was a little disappointing because I always compare my favourite (from Earnest) and the taste just didn't compare - it was more subtle and wasn't rich enough in London Fog flavour as I was hoping for - however, the creamy and thick texture of the ice cream was a saving grace - really good mouth feel! The Disney Dole Whip was the favourite out of the two flavours that night. Very refreshing and the flavour was pretty spot on but not overly sweet. Overall, friendly service and a bright, clean space. I'll definitely come back and try more!

    OMG ... the Black Sesame ice cream is delish!!! We tried the oolong milk tea too and that's yummy as well I highly recommend buying a pint because two scoops of ice cream is not enough!

    It is not what I expected. The ice cream is nothing special. The service is good. Overall not recommended.

    The ice cream is a poor product. Distinct lack of blending between complex flavours and the cream. feels more like a froen dessert here.

    Pot O' Yogurt - long lines for the grand opening

    Pot O' Yogurt

    Came to Pot O' Yogurt back in early March after seeing a post on Instagram from foodie influencers…read moreabout the grand opening. On the grand opening weekend, they had a buy one get one free smoothie deal plus a lucky draw if you post about it in Instagram on the day of the opening and show the staff your insta post on your phone. I entered the draw and won a swag merch of a air freshener you can put in your car. Not bad! There was a free umbrella for the first 100 customers given out as well but i missed it. As recommended by the Instagram foodie's post i saw, i got their strawberry avocado yogurt smoothie. It actually tasted better than i expected! I could taste the avocados but the yogurt made it very creamy and sweet, and the strawberries were chopped and added in instead of blended in with the avocado and yogurt. It was a pretty refreshing drink. It was not way too sweet which is good. I highly recommend their strawberry avocado yogurt smoothie. The queue to get in wasn't too bad, as it was about 15 minutes to line up to order and another 10-12 minutes to wait for your drink to be made. They had about 5-6 staff in the back making the drinks and 2-3 staff at the cash registers. One of the staff handed out papers with info about the lucky draw and the grand opening deal. They didn't have any seats to enjoy your drink inside at the time and it was packed with people waiting for their order. I'd say their yogurt drinks worth a try for sure. I'd like to try their items like mango yogurt or their frozen yogurt cubes on my next visit.

    They specialize in avocado yogurt drinks and it is really good. It is thick and smooth. However, I…read moregot the pistachio avocado smoothie and I expected some pistachio flavoring but instead it was jusr avocado smoothie with pieces of pistachio. It was not a good combo. The oreo smoothie doesn't have much taste as the yogurt flavor itself overpowers it. It is also less thick because there's no avocado in it. The avocado smoothie tastes great but they only have that one gimmick for drinks. The other specialty they have is frozen yogurt pieces which are quite expensive.
