It's below the freeway near the bus terminal and the Macau ferry, so I don't think anyone would go out of their way to eat here unless they happen to be passing by. This was the case for me. It wasn't my first time at Honeymoon but it was my first visit to this branch. Even though I don't think there's anything to write home about, Honeymoon Dessert serves its purpose of satisfying my belly with some local style sweets. I believe my boyfriend got the durian and green tea ice cream with vanilla sauce and I got some grass jelly dessert. The menu was pretty extensive, and there were both hot and cold desserts. As for the interior, it's pretty spacious and clean. I didn't see many customers when I went on a February night.

Luckily the only one I really want to have, Green Tea Fondue with Tofu Ice Cream and Pistachios was available. I am really into matcha and warm dessert so I really enjoyed that! Tofu ice cream was still quite creamy but the warm fondue was definitely the star. I was also really surprise with the quality of their cappuccino. The milk was perfectly frothed and the latte art did not even distort at all even when I almost finished drinking my coffee. Service was really attentive. Since we were here during lunch hour, the kitchen was busy prepping for the lunch crowd. If you want to have full access to the dessert menu, coming here after 3 pm might be more ideal. HeSheEat is a nice cafe to escape the craziness of CWB. Being on the 2nd floor, you have a bird eye view which is great for people watching.

Pretty good selection from the menu: various ice cream configurations and shaved ice. Service is kind of slow and food items can come out at different times, which makes it difficult when you're there with a bunch of other people. I enjoyed my shaved ice, it was well flavored throughout. Portion size pretty generous. My husband had the strawberry shaved ice. I thought the strawberry tasted like a fresh strawberry puree, he said it tasted more like a jam/sundae syrup. The other 2 had an ice cream bowl with 3 flavors: matcha, hojicha and Hokkaido milk. One said she preferred the matcha ice cream at a different establishment, the other said it wasn't bad although she wished the ice cream was creamier.

Despite the popularity of the Causeway Bay location, the TST version of Via Tokyo is worth a visit…read morefor anyone who is a fan of Japanese ice cream. They do a stand up job with their version fo soft serve and it has slowly gained the popularity of Kowloon locals who line up here night and out. The evenings bring in the (young) crowds, but the daytime is usually an easy time to pop in here without having to wait. Their green tea matcha is right up there with some of the tastiest in Hong Kong. It is the kind of ice cream that is suitable for any time of the year; though summer has been a particularly popular time, naturally. While I like to rock a cone for my green tea matcha, going with a sundae version in a larger cup with mochi and tapioca balls is not a bad way to go either. When ice cream gets too fancy with the toppings, it is prime instagram material. Via Tokyo certainly has a lot of love in that department. Though their claim to fame is the green tea flavor, I really enjoy their Hokkaido milk on its own. It is simple, yet super creamy in texture and strangely addicting. I would also recommend dabbling in their seasonal / monthly flavor, which was most recently black sesame. The black sesame tasted like peanut butter, which is a flavor that will always resonate well with me. Can't make up your mind? Get a waffle bowl / cup that showcases all three. Your group (or just you) will be extremely happy you did. A reminder that it is cash only and prices will range from 35-55 for cones and combinations. A pro tip for people not willing to wait in the line: To go / takeaway orders are the way to go.

The photos on yelp looked amazing but I always have my doubts. We decided to order: 1. Strawberry snow with panna cotta: the shaved ice looked so amazing! My gf said they imported the snow from Japan... That seems a bit excessive but the ice was perfectly shaved and I loved the amount of cream they put on it. It wasn't too saturated and overly sweet but also the center had awesome flavor and wasn't bland. I also loved the panna cotta on the bottom. The size and shape was perfectly instagrammable and the flavor was fresh and didn't taste artificial. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, probably the best shaved ice Ive ever had.

It had a really thick texture. It wasn't watery at all. The service was lacking. The waiter forgot to give everyone napkins. Everything was very clean and the place had a hip vibe. The tables and chairs were tiny but you don't have to share tables. I assume you may reserve a table because the waiter had dome "reserved" signs at the waiter's station. If it weren't for the waiter's omission of napkins, this place would get 5 stars. I highly recommend coming here. They are way better than Hui Lau Shan.

There was a time when soft serve became all the rage, and Via Tokyo was there through it all. While I miss the TST location (#1), this Causeway Bay version has a bit of seating and all the Japanese-inspired vibes one can ask for. Like most HK shops, the seating is tight and limited. There are wall-facing counter spots, along with a handful of tables for small groups. The wait is likely during the hot weather days (#2), but the turnover is quick since ice cream is consumed and melts quickly. The staff is young and friendly, doing their best to keep the ice cream coming while helping folks navigate the seating. Cones and cups range for roughly $40-45. The Hokkaido milk is my absolute favorite, smooth and creamy, and reminiscent of some of the ones I've had from Japan. Houjicha and matcha are the more popular items here, which take up a majority of the orders and is especially pretty when made into a bowl with fruits and other sweets. The moment of food photography won't last long, as the ice cream will begin to melt in less than a minute. HK dessert options are always revered. Thus, so is Via Tokyo and I hope they manage to stick around as long as possible. They take Alipay, Octopus, and of course, cash. ____________ (#1) Forever immortalized: https://www.yelp.com/biz/via-tokyo-香港-2?hrid=jtpxWsnvwDSZgQu9s6kF5g (#2) Which is often.

It is known for having awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand which piqued my interest as I seek quality tongsui aka sweet dessert soups that remind me of my childhood days. The shop is small and crowded with all others who enjoy tongsui and the line moves fast despite the wait. You can order via a QR code at the table or with staff. The menu is simple and they've got most of the must-haves at dessert shops. They have a minimum spend per person if you are dining in, so beware if your group has a person who doesn't do sweet soups. The worst thing (or best thing) that could happen is you eat one for them. The tongsui we ordered were all very basic and while they were delicious, I couldn't tell if they were better or higher quality ingredients compared to other shops across Hong Kong. If I were to be in the area and wanting tongsui, then sure why not. But I am unsure if I would purposely take the train and walk here.
