The service was lovely - the server/host had the brightest sweetest smile he was the best. We ordered online as required...the menu here was extensive omg shockingly. I had no idea what to try so I went with a yummy frappe kind of drink which was super delicious. You can sit on the floor or at tables here and I can imagine really nice wellness events here. Great for business meetings, coworking environment, family. Go, enjoy!!!

TLDR: Great quality and unique flavors, especially the Thai tea and banana espresso bingsuu, but…read morethe higher prices may make this more of an occasional treat. Soricha really surprised me with the quality! You can tell they're passionate about their craft, as every item feels thoughtfully prepared. I also loved the cute shelf featuring their personal collection of teacups, which added a nice touch to the space. They also had cute art around. The bingsu is definitely shareable, both of the bingsuus we got were rich in flavor and came with generous toppings. The sparkling coffee, however, wasn't quite as sparkly as I expected The injeolmi latte was a little disappointing because it doesn't come with espresso, which I didn't realize when ordering. I ended up paying an additional $2.20 for espresso. That said, I would recommend adding it because it really helped round out the drink. The server was quick to bring it out after I asked about the lack of coffee. My biggest hesitation is the price. The iced latte came out to around $12 after tax and tip, so I'll probably only come back occasionally. Still, the unique flavor combinations and overall quality might be enough to bring me back for another treat.

Okay I was traveling for work and had to bribe my workmate to take me here- i think he secretly…read moreenjoyed it! Food: The ube sesame was fire! Loved that combination, and the ube taiyaki was another favorite- im a sucker for ube. It came out fresh and warm, which made it that much better like a warm hug. This was supposed to be a quick stop, but I liked it enough to come back the very next day to try more flavors! On my second visit, I tried the Thai tea filling and another one I believe was Oreo ice cream swirl. The ube is still the one I'd come back for, but it was fun trying something different. Service: The staff was super friendly and helpful. Since it was my first time, I appreciated them helping me figure out what to order. There were several things I wanted to try, so having them tell me their favorite was a no brainer it made the experience even better. Atmosphere: The space was clean and had plenty of seating. I appreciated being able to sit down and enjoy everything while the taiyaki was still warm. A nice spot to take a little dessert break and a nice vibe. This is definitely a place to take a date! Overall: Coming back two days in a row probably says enough about how much I enjoyed Rice Culture! Between the fresh, warm taiyaki, the ube sesame ice cream swirl, and the friendly staff, this was an easy place to love. Definitely recommend trying the ube sesame swirl if you're having trouble deciding!

Such a fun dessert spot! The soft serve was so delicious, and the little fish-shaped waffle on top…read morewas absolutely mandatory--it was SO good. The stuffed Oreo fish was a little dry and definitely wasn't my favorite, but it's still good for what it is. It's a bit pricey for a dessert, but I think it makes for such a fun outing. I also thought their cup desserts to-go were really cool and unique! The inside of the shop is super cute and aesthetic, too. I loved all the decor and the overall vibe. There isn't much employee interaction since you order through a kiosk, but honestly, that was totally fine and made the process quick and easy. Definitely worth checking out if you want a cute, unique dessert experience!

They have a self-serve water station with cups, bowls, and other utensils for you to freely grab. I also love how much seating there is inside. Perfect place to yap away with friends :)) The food does not disappoint. It's very homey and just consistent, which I love. The staff here are so sweet and kind. I wanted to order a porridge and a bingsoo at the same time, but she told me I shouldn't and that she'd have the bingsoo ready for when we finished the warm porridge. I'm so glad I listened because it would've been weird eating hot, steamy porridge and an iced dessert at the same time, especially with the dessert melting. Right when we finished our porridge, I walked over to ask her to prep the bingsoo, but she already had it finished because she noticed we were done eating. So attentive!!! Also, if you're allergic to sesame seeds, I'd advise telling them beforehand. Most of these dishes involve a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top. My friend is allergic and we forgot to tell them, so we tried to spoon them out, but it's hard to get everything.

I mourn the fact that COVID killed the samples, but it's still a great place to shop for a treat or just run in and grab a coffee which I do a few times a month. Recommend: Any of the breads that are unwrapped and on the baking trays by the counter. Those are fresh out of the oven that day. I especially love the mocha roll. It's big and fluffy with chewy moist mocha flavored dough and a crispy sugary coating on the outside that's to die for. It's still light and fluffy at the same time. Yum! And while it's prob not made in-house, I do love the red bean buns. Bathrooms are always clean and the upstairs is great for a longer chat with a friend, time in a book, or board or card game time. They also have a lovely upstairs covered porch for pretty days.

Went in for the mango snow, but they were out of the mangoes. Decided to try the yogurt snow and…read morealso got a chocolate chip brownie plus an upside down pineapple cake. First, the yogurt snow had awful fruits: kiwi was old, strawberries were not ripe, melon tasted like watermelon rinds, the canned mandarins tasted canned. The yogurt was okay, but the snow tasted just like ice. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever for $16.55 The chocolate chip brownie, didn't have much taste of chocolate and stale. $4.50 The upside down pineapple cake was the worst, so old it had the metallic taste of the aluminum container and crumbled into granules using a fork. Absolutely inedible! $4.25 Breeze bakery has been going downhill for a while now, but 3 out 3 items being inedible for $28 is unbelievable. There is also the short bulky Korean guy, possibly the manager who's seems to be on a power trip and speaks to customers rudely and unprofessionally. Will never come back and will inform my friends and family how this business is tanking.

Really enjoyed Snocream company! They specialize in shaved ice with toppings and they are…read moreabsolutely delicious. If you are used to snoball ice this is a little different its very creamy and very reminiscent of ice cream while still having the light texture of shaved ice. It is definitely something you have to experience for yourself. I enjoyed the variety of topping options they had, I was able to get mochi and flan as my toppings while my partner got wafer cookies and oreos. The workers there were nice and patient as we chose our flavors and perused the menu. The store itself is located in a food hall which lends itself to have a variety of seating options. Its a nice entertaining area with a fun projector area playing shows. Great place to hang out overall.

Not too watery and amateur, not too thick and sweet... always just right! Their Grape is my favorite. I actually tried the Grape from the famous HeyTea and I liked Tian Cha's more. Their Banana Milk smoothie is also amazing (tastes like the Korean Banana Milk brand). Honestly, I haven't gotten anything I hated here. What's scary is I don't really hear much people talk about this place. I really don't want this spot to close down so please please please go support them! :)

I also tried the Apple Pie and Thai Ice Tea flavors. The Thai Ice Tea wasn't overly sweet, which I loved and you could really taste the thai tea flavor. The apple pie tasted exactly like an apple pie, just creamier in an ice cream form. Everything was so good, and the whole experience was great. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the Mosaic area!
