Short Review:
An odd boba shop to sum up. I will go more into details down below, but for this section, I'll just say their ice cream was delicious, the milk tea was good, and the inside of the shop is very sleek and clean and smells nice. Service was good too.
Long Review:
Rewind - Ice Cream + Boba Tea is a shop that specialize in dessert drinks and ice cream. But here is what's odd, they sell CEREAL! That's right, you heard me right, they offer breakfast cereal at a boba shop. I have never heard of such shop before until now. I honestly, don't know how it works, like do they just serve ordinary cereal where they just pour regular 2% or whole milk with retail bought cereal? I didn't ask because I'm not a cereal guy, but it would certainly be interesting if they offered milk tea boba cereal or something.
Moving on, the inside has a nice beige cream overall interiors that makes it a pleasant sight to see. For menu, there are four categories: Teas, Ice Cream, Milk Shake, and Cereal. I got a Rose Milk Tea and Vanilla infused with matcha and almonds soft-serve ice cream. I don't care for cereal and while milk shake does sounds nice, I was more curious about their milk tea section at that time. It took about 3 minutes for my Rose Milk Tea and another 3 minute for my ice cream.
Rose Milk Tea With Boba: I was intrigue by the gradient color layer of the drink. If that's their intention, then well done. It also taste fairly good for something that looked overly hyped. The taste reminds me of fruit loops cereal with lavender tea with milk and floral from the tea itself. When the drink is blended together, the color will change into light purple or lilac color. As for the boba, I was a little disappointed. The taste was good, but the chew was okay, but the worse part was the boba was stuck together into chunks. It was impossible to suck the rest of the boba even with boba straw. I'm guessing whoever cooked the boba, didn't stir it enough, and as a result, the boba get stuck together like that.
Vanilla Soft-Serve Ice Cream With Matcha Infused + Almonds: At first, I was confused because I thought there were only two flavored ice, which was vanilla and chocolate, but I was wrong. You have two other steps which involved infused flavor and toppings for last. Any other extra will cost more, so keep that in mind. But anyway, this soft-serve ice was insanely good. As I eat this soft-serve ice cream over a hot summer season, my mind melted away. Such delicate, soft, smooth, and creamy consistency and texture. I was blown away at how good it was. And I have ate soft-serve in Disneyland, which was seriously good. Rewind, by far did the best soft-serve ice cream as far as I can tell. Although, the matcha infused was subtle, it still was a delightful treat that is hard to beat.
Overall, I rate the quantity for milk tea/ice cream a B/A and in quality a -A/A+. Milk tea quantity is the same as many other boba shop. Price vs portion ratio are often the same. For ice cream, you get loads of ice cream at a great deal. For quality, Rose Milk Tea was great, but boba was terrible. Ice cream, by far, one of the best I've had, so it get an A+. It has a chance of reaching S rank, but the matcha was too subtle. If the matcha was a little stronger, I would give the ice cream an S rank. Otherwise, I gotta try their milk shake next time, now that I know their soft-serve is delicious. read more
