    Milo soft serve
    Gabriel S.

    This place has really pretty (and really expensive) desserts. For those who like bling, they even have gold and silver soft serve ice cream (and both come in bling and super bling [not the official names] versions) The Milo soft serve was pretty good - very smooth and not too heavy. The Uji Matcha soft serve was very smooth too and used high quality green tea - I could taste the powder. It was somewhat bitter and thus something of an acquired taste. It wasn't really sweet so as not to overwhelm the matcha flavour The desserts here are interesting but this place is really too expensive to be anything more than an occasional stop. Also, unfortunately they only accept Debit and WeChat pay. No cash even

    White rabbit brown sugar tapioca milk tea

    The last time we were here was when it first opened. We had their soft serve ice cream and loved it. This time.... wasn't as great. We came to see what the hype was all about for their white rabbit brown sugar tapioca milk tea. White rabbit was a childhood favourite, so we had high hopes. Sadly, we both couldn't taste the white rabbit flavour. It mostly tasted like the brown sugar tapioca, which was tasty, but def not what we were expecting or hoped for. The drink comes in one size only, which is small (too small for our liking) and costs $6 plus tax (cash only). Not worth it in our opinion. I guess next time we'll stick to just having their soft serve ice cream.

    ***bring cash as that's the only method of payment they accept*** I've come here several times when they first opened but could never seem to catch them being open when their hours stated they would be.... That made me extremely skeptical about their business practices as if I can't trust when they say they're going to be open, I don't really have a lot to go off on as a customer. This time around, I went after dinner one night so I had a feeling that they had to be open! I completely understand why their pricing for edible gold and silver are priced so high but I don't fully grasp why anyone would actually pay to consume it. On a partially related note, I don't fully understand why their different flavors are at different price points. In theory, shouldn't all prices be the same across all the flavors of ice cream? That's what I think about it anyways but I can't recall what the price of a cone/cup is. [Roasted Oolong] - this was originally what my friend ordered. She ordered her ice cream in a cup but also wanted a cone so they accommodated her by serving it to her with a cone upturned over the softserve! This was delicious as she let me try a little spoonful of hers. I actually ended up swapping ice creams with her because I was not fond of the ube one at all.... [Ube] - Google says that "ube" means purple yam so I'm going with that! I typically love when things are ube flavored but I guess for some reason, not the one from this specific place.... I thought it tasted far more earth-like than I was comfortable with but I think that's just my own opinion. My friend said she didn't mind it so she consumed it on my behalf instead. I think I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a different variety of flavors that you can't typically get in soft serve! Consult their Instagram page to see what their current flavors are as they update it pretty regularly. Usually, places only have the same old flavors of vanilla and chocolate so coming here once in a while to see what flavors they have won't put a huge dent in your wallet :D

    Cant go wrong with matcha ice cream Very large size as well! Kinda expensive but for the amount of ice cream you get it is worth it!

    I saw a post on Instagram of Milo ice cream in a black cone and it immediately caught my attention. Additional posts had Ovaltine and Horlicks ice cream, all soft serve. OMG! Is this real? I grew up with these flavours as a kid and I really enjoyed them. I shared this discovery with some friends and they got just as excited! A mob of ten of us headed over there to try it! On this night, they had Milo and Horlicks, no Ovaltine. I chose the Horlicks in a black charcoal cone, while some opted for Milo, and some had regular cones or cups. Damn, this was good, not cheap, but good! It brought back good memories. I sampled the Milo and it was just as good. I'm looking forward to trying the Ovaltine another day. The ice cream was nice and creamy and the charcoal cone was very crunchy. Next time, I'm going to try something and throw some grapenuts (another childhood favourite) on it for added texture! If anybody steals this idea before I try it, let me know how it turns out. I enjoyed this so much, I ended up there again the next day, with another group of friends. They all enjoyed it too. Now I just have to try the Ovaltine.

    Friendly staff, decent ice cream, limited flavours in a hole in the wall. Service: The staff were very friendly and inviting, and explained the options (not many). You get one flavour if you want the ice cream in a cone, or up to two if you want it in a cup. Food: The ice cream was nice and the matcha flavour was there, although not very strong. The ice cream wasn't filled to the bottom of the cone and it was hollow near the centre, but it was very thick/dense. Overall: It's quite expensive for what it is, but decent if you're craving soft serve matcha/ube/horlicks ice cream. Tip: Enter in your phone number at checkout for a discount with FiveStars.

    To get to Mat.cha you'll first need to find parking in the mess of a parking at Commerce Gate, enter through the door and find the entrance to this little sweet shop on the right, across from the Alley. The first thing that draws you to the shop is the advertisement of different flavours you probably wouldn't find anywhere else - this is the uniqueness of Mat.cha. You don't get the vanilla, the chocolate or strawberry soft serve. You get common asian flavours such a Horlick, Ovaltine, Milo, and most recently White Rabbit (candy). I went on two occasions due to my love for both the white rabbit candy and the Milo chocolate malt drink. Both soft serves had the perfect swirl and were served in the black charcoal sugar cone. The cone itself has no flavour profile other than a regular sugar cone. The white rabbit was refreshing. It had a very light white rabbit candy taste. You don't actually notice that flavour until you get the aftertaste. For those who don't know what white rabbit tastes like, don't be frightened. It's not an animal. It's actually a milk based sugar candy... tastes like condensed milk in candy form. The milo was good - I personally prefer milo over white rabbit. The flavour was true to the milo taste - chocolate malt. There wasn't a moment where I was guessing what the flavour was. Overall, would I pay this much for the ice cream? Probably not. But it was enjoyable to get childhood favourites in a soft serve.

    I can't believe I haven't written a review for Matcha yet. This little shop is located at Commerce Gate and you might miss it if you're not looking for it. It's located right beside The Alley with the cutest little table and chairs out front. The standard menu includes Matcha, Sesame & Red Bean. My favourite of these three is Sesame. I've only had the Matcha once and it seemed a little powdery so I haven't ordered it since. The taste was similar to Tsujiri but more creamy + sweet. I've also had a sample of the Red Bean but I'm not a fan of Red Bean. What's most captivating to me is their limited edition flavours. They have their famous Charcoal cone with Gold or Silver foil which has been taking over instagram. The Charcoal is a mix of coconut and vanilla (not my personal fav). I do want to try their plethora of limited edition flavours ranging from Marshmellow, Lavender, Japanese Ramune, London Fog, Pineapple and more! A lot of these flavours are only available for one day but may make a comeback. I tried the limited time Thai Milk Tea and the Tieguanyin soft serve, both of which are delicious. I think the Thai Milk Tea was the most delicious soft serve I ever had! I will say that it was a little sweet towards the end, but it is the most perfect form of Thai Milk Tea as a soft serve. The Tieguanyin soft serve is great alternative if you prefer the tea flavour over the sweetness. I've always been helped by Chris every time I'm there and I've never seen anyone else working. He is very friendly and always looking for ways to improve. When we had the Charcoal ice cream, he gave my friend and two cups of warm water without us even asking (because that stuff gets all over your mouth)! When I had the Thai Milk Tea, he asked if it needed any tweaking, whether or not it was too sweet. The only downside is their operating hours. I wish they were open during lunch hours but they don't open until 4pm.

    White rabbit candy soft serve
    Queenie C.

    I"ve come here a few times already and I have tried a few of their delicious cones! it's tucked inside the plaza but it's not that difficult to find. Not a lot of sitting room either - just a few chairs for those who choose to loiter, or you can stand outside the shop in the corrider in the inner area of the "mall" and just hang around there to eat. They have various flavours and they do change them up - however, it's hard to know what's available when one just shows up at the store. So far I have tried the lemon tea, horlick and most recently the white rabbit candy. The ice cream was spectacular for the lemon tea and horlick. Lemon tea taste exactly like the drink itself and i was quite impressed! the horlick was amazing - i just love the amt of malt and i can really taste the flavour... def one of my favourites. The white rabbit candy - it wasn't as creamy as i would've liked so in some sense it wasn't exactly the same as the candy itself - which i do get is hard to achieve. The taste is there but i dont' know if it's just that particular batch but it could be stronger - some of my other friends mentioned when they had it the taste was definitely there so could just be that night. They also ran out of all other flavours except the white rabbit candy... so perhaps that particular batch wasnt exactly the greatest. But still, if you're ever wanting to try some asian-inspired soft serve ice cream and you haven't checked out this place yet, I would highly suggest you go - i can't wait to go back to try the vitasoy in the summer time!

    Love their Horlicks soft serve as it's the only place that makes it and it tastes just like the drink. They have soft serve flavours that are very Hong Kong style and I have tried others like Vitasoy, Matcha and White Rabbit but Horlicks is hands down my favourite! They are also available on Ubereats but they have to freeze it extra cold for delivery which takes away from the smooth texture so I recommend ordering in store.

    Ovaltine x Lindor ice cream
    Melissa L.

    Have the Ovaltine x Lindor ice cream, and let me tell you, I have never ever had an ice cream that tasted just like the name yet not too too sweet at all! Very smooth ice cream, extremely rich Ovaltine in each bite, but where's the Lindor part? I have no idea... The waffle cone... it tasted a little off... My boyfriend and I both thought it tasted kind of fake (is that even possible)?? But it just didn't taste like a waffle to us.

    Ariel L.

    When the employee came out with our order, he told us to wait at least 10 minutes before eating (???). The "soft serve" was freezer burnt and served in a cup which could be held upside down without it budging in the slightest. As you can imagine, as the cone defrosted it became soggy and stuck to the paper cone holder. It's clear that they pre-made their soft serve and froze it for ease. This place serves two things: bubble tea and soft serve. If you're going to have a menu with limited options, you're going to want to do it right and do it extremely well. Matcha Tea & Dessert failed horribly in doing so - a disappointment as I've seen so many photos on social media raving about this place.

    matcha-charcoal twist with charcoal cone
    Jason M.

    *rubs hands* HERE WE GO. 3rd update. You'll always see at least one of Chris/Max (the owners), at the shop making fresh tapioca batches daily. Since my last review they've worked out many kinks in the shop with a few more changes/additions coming in the future according to Chris. I covered the quality of their soft serve in a prev review so I don't feel that I have to review it again. They've added a second machine which has red bean & black sesame alongside the staple matcha & charcoal. Anyways, yummy soft serve as always (no more matcha powder clumps since the incompetent trainee was fired) and I needn't say more about it. I'm not a big fan of cheese foam so I will let someone else review those. I am, however, a big fan of milk tea. The ogasa milk tea and roasted milk tea might be some of the best milk tea I've tasted. Very unique flavor profile. They make your tea with a default sugar lvl but u can customize it to ur liking just like the 6 other bbt places at commerce gate. My friend and I got to try some rose milk tea on our most recent visit (not available to customers at the moment... I believe they are experimenting with it). It had a very strong floral taste and was more perfumey than the ogasa which was interesting. They are also using one of the most expensive roasted blends on the market. Since my last review, I've been able to try almost all the tapioca flavors. Here are my personal recommendations/rankings. 1) Sesame: BAZINGA! Hands down, best all-round (pairs well in most, if not all, of their drinks) flavor imo. I could chew on these for days. Ideally enjoyed with one of their milk teas. I wish they would make a batch of these everyday. 2) Sakura: fruity taste and goes well with milk or non-milk tea but paired best with a non-milk tea like golden melon, momo oolong or white peach oolong. 3) Mango: same as the sakura. Sometimes hit or miss with the flavor. The initial batch I first tried didn't have enough mango flavor. But each successive time it's been good. Best paired with non-milk tea. White peach oolong with mango taps is a go-to combo for moi. 4) Matcha: these were sometimes quite bitter, sometimes perfect. But when it was just right it paired nicely with non-milk tea. Particularly one of their matcha drinks, osmanthus or gold phoenix tea. 5) Butterfly Pea Flower: kinda tasted like a mix between blueberry and raspberry flavor. Extremely fruity taste. Again, paired best with non-milk tea. 6) Taro: these were above avg. Tbh, they tasted similar to the regular unflavored pearls you get at chatime. There's a hint of taro taste to differentiate from a regular pearl. Not a bad thing I guess cuz some ppl prefer less flavor in their tapioca. Paired best with one of their milk teas. 7) Crystal: plain jello taste. I thought it would taste like lychee but nah haha. Looks cool while sitting in your non-milk tea though. Reminds me of kanting jelly but I like the texture of kanting jelly more NOTE*: The grass jelly in their roasted milk tea is also made using proper brown sugar (the way it's made in taiwan) as opposed to regular white sugar which a lot of bbt places use. *ahem chatime im looking at u* STILL WANT TO TRY: sweet potato and purple yam tapioca. I'm hesitant to try strawberry tapioca cuz I think it might be too sweet. I know they used to serve tea mousse, but I'm not sure if they serve it anymore since the menu revamp. Make sure you call in or msg them on IG or FB to see what tapioca flavor they're making on a given day. Chris also informed me that he will likely be upgrading to a better cutting and rounding machine soon. Price-wise, I do believe they are matched fairly against the surrounding competitors (I call commerce gate, bbt haven lol) and while I appreciate that The Alley literally right next door makes great bbt and handcrafted tapioca as well, these guys also make quality bbt and their drinks are severely underrated imo. Come order and you be the judge!
