Kai Creamery opened in 2022 and is located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace in Edgewater, NJ. Kai Creamery offers their signature fresh Mont Blanc and ice creams, soft serves, and shakes. I had their matcha shake with tapioca. They use matcha ice cream and it is very creamy and smooth, not overly sweet. My husband likes the soft serve, especially the matcha and black sesame mix. After you order, you get a receipt with your order#. When order is ready, they will call your number. read more

I came to Mitsuwa specifically to get the hojicha soft serve and unfortunately it's not the same soft serve place that used to be there. The previous soft serve was strong on hojicha flavor, and the ice cream light and fluffy, while still being creamy. The new hojicha soft serve is very light on hojicha flavor, I could barely make out the flavor, it really tasted to me like heavy cream, which normally isn't bad, but there's not enough aeration--the soft serve is soo dense and overly creamy that I had to stop eating it after a while bc it was just too creamy... kinda making me feel gross after eating most of the cup, so I had to let the last quarter melt. And I can't believe I'm saying this, since as an ice cream lover I never leave ice cream unfinished! But it just wasn't good :( Other than that the staff seemed nice and around dinner time on a Saturday there was minimal line. After placing my order the ice cream was ready in a few minutes. read more

Kai Creamery is a dessert stall inside of Mitsuwa Marketplace. It specializes in soft serve ice cream with Asian-inspired flavors. The flavor selection is limited to six: matcha, purple potato, black sesame, hojicha, strawberry, pineapple. You can get them in a cone or cup. You can customize your ice cream by adding shaved ice or toppings. One of their most popular toppings is mont blanc, which is sweetened chestnut purée in the form of vermicelli noodles. I've never tried it, but I always hear people raving about it! If you're not craving ice cream, they also serve mochi waffles, shakes, tea, and lattes. Service is efficient. They let you sample any flavors. You order at the register and there is a designated pick-up area to avoid overcrowding. Quick, clean, and easy. I ordered a small cup of the purple potato soft serve ($5.50). The texture was perfect. It was fluffy, light, creamy, and smooth. As for the taste, it was more on the mild side. The purple potato is a mixture of sweet, nutty, and subtle vanilla flavors. I also tried a sample of their matcha... it was sweeter than I expected, but still had the signature earthy taste. The flavors are good here, but not as bold or strong as I would like. I prefer Matcha Maiko's ice cream. But this will do the job if you're shopping here and need a fix. read more

I routinely visit Kai Creamery when shopping at Mitsuwa Marketplace. Their matcha soft serve is my favorite -- it's rich and smooth, topped with Mont Blanc, which looks like little spaghetti strands and adds a unique twist. The service is pretty quick, though it can get busy with lots of people moving around the market. After placing my order, I had a short wait before getting my treat. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes, making it a good value overall. I'd definitely recommend Kai Creamery for a casual, tasty soft serve experience if you're visiting Mitsuwa. read more

The creamery is located inside Mitsuwa marketplace. There's a few seats and tables in the back of the little stall. We chose the three soft serve in the waffle bowl: matcha, strawberry, and pineapple. The strawberry and pineapple were sherberts. I was just surprised the strawberry wasn't cream based. The creamy matcha had good flavor. The pineapple tasted like dole whip. Overall it was good but small for the price. read more

Tried it out since it replaced Matcha Love -- but I miss the bold flavors. Kai Creamery has a cute vibe and a pretty big menu with soft serve, bubble teas, and even Mont Blanc, which definitely makes it feel like more of a dessert experience. That said, I was a little underwhelmed by the flavors. While the texture of the soft serve is super creamy and smooth, the flavors -- especially the matcha and black sesame -- were surprisingly mild. If you're looking for something bold and punchy, this might not hit the mark. Prices are on the higher side ($5-$7 depending on size), and it's not cash-only, which is convenient compared to some of the other spots nearby in Edgewater. Be prepared to wait a bit -- the line tends to get long, especially on weekends. Overall, it's a fun stop if you're in the area and want something different. read more

I have had ice cream from this place many times and loved the black sesame soft-serve ice cream. My son's favorite is strawberry, so we went for the strawberry and pineapple. I wish there were more strawberries than pineapple. Maybe next time, I will get a strawberry for him and black sesame for myself. read more

Please add your business hours on your page. We got there at 7:45pm and the lady was so rude when we asked her what time they're usually open until so the older gentleman was kind and told us that they're closed. Mitsuwa supermarket is opened until 9:30pm so please let your customers know what your hours are. It would be helpful. And the lady didn't need to be rude. We know you were closing and won't order or hold you up but at least acknowledge us. So . Instead, we will go to Helloyam in the city for their desserts. read more

This place is located in Mitsuwa and is very popular. When I go I always get the black sesame soft serve because I find that it's not easy to find. The soft serve is light but creamy and has a very nice texture. The black sesame flavor is nutty and perfectly sweet in my opinion. My only gripe is that I wish it had a slightly stronger black sesame flavor but other than that it's one of my favorite places to get soft serve. read more

Overpriced ice cream. It tasted pretty good, but it kind of annoying me how much it served for over 9 dollar ice cream. You can see from my picture that the ice cream was hallow in the middle. Can't justify it for sure. read more

Can't go to Mitsuwa without having the black sesame soft serve. Also recommend the hojicha flavor as well. Too sweet as shakes, so I always go for the soft serve in a cup and this time had it with a red bean topping. yum read more

I was so sad when Matcha Love closed, but I was relieved to find that this ice cream shop opened in place of it. It is practically the same thing but more. I love to come here for the black sesame ice cream. It is so tasty! Please give it a try if you haven't! read more

It's sad I have to give this place 3 stars. My partner and I came here in August to walk around Mitsuwa. We stopped for bubble tea. The matcha bubble tea my partner and I ordered here was the best matcha bubble tea we ever had! It wasn't too sweet, it tasted how matcha should taste. Unfortunately two less stars because of the customer service. The tall young guy behind the counter was not helpful at all. My partner and I looked at the menu and asked some questions. He looked zoned out and didn't give clear answers. After asking about taro and what the difference between flat lid and cone lid, I told him I wanted to order a large matcha bubble tea. He repeated the order as taro. I corrected him and said matcha. As I was about to pay, I noticed he still ringing it up as taro. My partner corrected him. We waited about 5 minutes for our order to be made. A young lady had over a bright purple drink to us. I asked her why the matcha looks like this. She said it's taro. Like what! The young boy had the nerve to say we ordered taro. We asked him one question about taro and somehow he was preoccupied with that. So yeah, we had to wait another 5 minutes for our order. My partner and I will be back to order another bubble tea because it was delicious. Hopefully better staff is working at the counter. read more
