I thought this was fine - not amazing, not horrible. Located in a small food court near the Newbury Comics, Kyoyo Haus provides a mochi ice cream experience that is novel to the area, but overpriced and uses AI art for their menu which I strongly dislike. I tried the matcha and mango flavors, both if which are done well and taste nice, but the price tag is very high for such a small portion. I did like the little flavor bottle that came with each cup. I probably would go to a different dessert spot in the future, but I'm glad to see mochi ice cream is a choice for those looking for it.
We tried a few things here including the ube latte which was tiny and just okay. We also had the thai tea mochi ice cream. The mochi layer was dry and tough to eat, it made eating the ice cream very messy. The thai tea ice cream was okay but a little on the meltier and sweeter side, and it comes with some nice chewy boba. The lychee soft serve was probably the best thing we tried. It comes with some coconut jelly on the bottom too. I would probably come back to try more of the soft serve but skip everything else next time.
Service was nice and quick! Aesthetic of the desserts were simple and cute. Flavors were A-MAZING. I was in-love with the Hojicha icecream and mochi. This was my first time getting fresh mochi and it was so soft and chewy and paired perfectly with the Hojicha icecream. Highly recommend!! It's located in this fun little food hall to explore as well. If I'm ever in Boston again, I'm coming back!!
Wow this was so good! The mochi was so soft and chewy and the soft serve has a very robust flavor. The black sesame was rich and creamy while the mango was fruity and refreshing. A great place for a sweet treat!
A little pricy but the mochi and ice cream quality is good. The azuki milk ice cream tastes reminiscent of the white rabbit candy I had as a child and the mochi was a really nice texture. It came with a flavor syrup which honestly didn't add too much to the ice cream, not bad or good. I liked that they offer samples before you order, this helped me decide on the azuki milk because I've never heard of it before!
Top notch hojicha and black sesame soft serve, the flavors really come through compared to some other spots in town. If you're on the fence about trying kyoyo haus but like these two ice cream flavors it's worth trying out. The black sesame flavor is definitely one of the best ones I've had since the flavor is more bold. They give samples of their ice cream and you can even get some of the flavors swirled. I didn't know their ice cream came with a flavor syrup and coarse sugar sprinkled on top. Next time I'm going to ask to omit these since they didn't add anything to the ice cream.
I got their black sesame soft serve and it has the most robust, intense black sesame flavor, balanced perfectly with some sweetness. The texture of the soft serve is just right and if you eat it indoors it doesn't melt too quickly. The mochj ice cream is a bit of a novelty and pretty cool concept but I prefer just the soft serve by itself.
My friend and I came here and we LOVED it! They have a specialized set of mostly Japanese-inspired soft serve flavors, and any of them can be turned into a mochi ice cream. The staff let us try multiple flavors and we decided on getting the matcha soft serve and the milk tea mochi ice cream. The matcha flavor was delicious and the milk tea ice cream tasted exactly like milk tea. The mochi was soft and fresh. We felt that the servings were pretty generous and fairly priced. We'd definitely come back and try some of the other flavors! A small hidden gem in the Harvard Square food court.
One of those rare places that live up to the instagram hype! Kyoyo Haus is located within the Garage in Harvard Square on the first floor. They have a few shared tables with the other Garage restaurants. The menu has two options-- mochi ice cream or soft serve, with a bunch of flavors including matcha, black sesame, milk tea, honey, mango, and ube. We went with a group and tried the matcha, ube, milk tea, and honey, which were all incredible! They hand cover the ice cream with mochi and then add a little syringe with flavored oil for the aesthetic! The main and most important part was the mochi was incredible! So soft and stretchy and perfectly not too sweet. The ratio was also really good and you had a lot of mochi:ice cream. The flavors were super yummy-- matcha was my favorite but the honey was a surprise hit! It had a more creamy taste and wasn't too sweet. The milk tea was really good though a bit sweater. Overall I would absolutely come back here!
The term "Asian Inspired" can be automatically explained as "Americanized." Soft Serve Matcha: To be fair, the matcha itself is quite standard, not too sweet, and you can taste both its bitterness and aroma. But who can understand the despair emerged when I discovered that the red dropper and toppings were strawberry juice and white sugar respectively? Adding sugar directly because it wasn't sweet enough--do you really have to be so drastic...? The ice cream wasn't exactly "soft" either, you can clearly feel the lumps and ice crystals when scooping it.
Got the Hojicha soft serve mochi! Loved that they use soft serve for the mochi ice cream, such a great texture. Will be back to try other flavors!
I thought this was delicious! The mochi ice cream is $6.75 and that felt a little high for the size of the dish, but it is a tasty dining experience. The mochi is soft and chewy, and the ice cream was very flavorful! The location is a little lacking in the garage, but I'd visit again!
Great Japanese inspired soft serve and mochi ice cream! I appreciate the sweetness of all the ice cream flavors is just sweet enough rather than cloyingly sweet. I recommend the sesame, hojicha, and adzuki. Soft serve is $5.75 (w/o tax) and mochi ice cream is $6.75 (w/o tax). Service is really friendly and they explain their offerings. They also offer free samples of the different flavors to help you decide which one best works for you. This is located in the Garage and shares dining space with a bunch of different food vendors.
You can find this place inside a small food court and there were not great directions on how to get here. You have kind of have to be intentional about how to find it but fortunately the flavors make up for it. I tried their new banana milk mochi ice cream and I thought it was really fun and refreshing. It's always great to try out non-standard flavors. They fortunately let you try samples so I definitely recommend trying some out before committing to a scoop or two. We got a pipet with matcha, which was a really fun part of the experience, but sadly the matcha flavor didn't really mix that well with the banana milk I think. It was maybe a little too strong and bitter but fortunately you don't have to use it if you don't want to lol. There was also a pretty cute corner that was set up so you can take a picture of your mochi scoop with an aesthetic background. I thought it was so funny that they knew people love taking pictures of their food so they set up a spot meant for it and try to help you elevate your photos. Overall I think I would come here again and try their other flavors. read more

I was super excited to try a mochi ice cream place but unfortunately the mochi isn't to my standards. The mochi was too starchy and the chew didn't feel right, it felt like it wasn't chewy enough? The ice cream was fine, and I feel like the oil is gimmicky because it doesn't add much. The oil is hydrophobic and doesn't actually absorb into the matcha well at least. read more

Delicious mochi soft serve in Harvard Square! They have lots of flavors to try such as milk tea, matcha, ube, honey, black sesame and mango and offer both soft serve only and mochi soft serve which is a scoop of soft serve wrapped in mochi dough. The mochi soft serve includes a small pipette which adds concentrated flavor to the soft serve. I got matcha and it was the perfect balance of earthy matcha flavor and sweetness. Will definitely be back to try more flavors. The shop was very busy but the line moved quickly. read more

Kyoyo Haus is a unique and creative ice cream shop that recently opened in the heart of Harvard Square, located inside a shared mall space. The shop serves its ice cream in a soft-serve style or with mochi. The mochi is a unique, pleasantly chewy addition that pairs well with the ice cream. A fun innovation is that each order comes with a pipette filled with a complementary flavor, like sesame oil, to add an extra kick. We tried the black sesame and matcha flavors. The matcha was alright, it had a good, creamy consistency but the earthy matcha taste was a bit weaker than we prefer. The black sesame was similar, presenting the right flavor profile without being super strong. The sesame oil in the pipette definitely helped boost that dish. The price point is on the higher side, at around $7 for a single cup. It's a nice, creative treat to get once in a while, especially if you're interested in trying inventive dessert fusions, but it is a bit expensive for a regular stop. read more

Food: We got the black sesame and mango mochi ice cream were so good! The soft serve ice cream tasted so good and the mango was especially so refreshing. The sesame oil and black sesame soft serve went surprisingly really well together. The mango mochi ice cream had a pandan syrup pipette which was good too. But I personally couldn't really taste the pandan. Service: The person who took our order was really nice. They gave us a really good explanation on what would come with our ice creams, gave us some samples for tasting. Ambiance: It was really nice that we could see how the mochi was prepared and served! read more

Mochi ice cream crafted on the spot! They have a handful of flavors, and we got to try the thai tea/milk tea and azuki milk. I was able to mix the thai tea and milk tea ice cream flavors in one mochi, but they are only able to do certain combos. The mochi ice cream was delicious!! The mochi was thinly wrapped but still strong enough to hold together, and they also added extra toppings like milk tea/thai tea/strawberry/tapioca. The yuzu tea wasn't as memorable as the ice cream, but I'd definitely recommend stopping by. The cafe is located inside the Garage, so it's not as easy to see on the street but you'll immediately find it once you enter the building. There are also many tables with seats scattered around the lobby/main walking area for you to sit and enjoy your dessert. read more

Located inside the garage at Harvard Square is a new mochi ice cream place. I came for the grand opening featuring their $1 soft serve. I waited in line before they opened and waited about 1.5 before I got to order. Not sure how their order number system worked, but it didn't take long for them to prepare 2 mochi ice creams and 5 soft serve cups. My friend and I ordered all the flavors including ube mochi, honey mochi, mango, milk tea, black sesame, and match soft serve. They all came with a cute little pipette to add flavor to your ice cream. It was cool to watch them prepare the mochis up front from flattening it out to stretching the mochi over the soft serve. The cups may look small, but each flavor packs a punch. My favorite flavors would have to be the mango and black sesame. The milk tea, honey, and ube were more subtle, but the addition of the brown sugar and milk in the pipettes made all the difference. There's a few tables around to sit and enjoy your ice cream as part of the food court. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend checking them out with hopes you don't have to wait as long. read more
