I'll definitely be back.

I finally stopped by Warabimochi Kamakura inside the Santa Anita Mall after the madness of the grand opening & wait times. I was the first in line to order which was nice, I ordered their Strawberry Matcha Cloud Latte & to my surprise it did not disappoint! My order came out quick! If you're someone like ME who usually stays away from matcha because it's too earthy, bitter, or has that super powdery taste... then this is the drink for you. The strawberry adds the perfect fruity sweetness while the creamy matcha cloud foam balances everything out, creating a smooth, refreshing drink that's easy to sip from start to finish. What I loved: -Perfect balance of strawberry + matcha -Light, creamy cloud foam -Smooth matcha flavor without being overly earthy -Just the right amount of sweetness This is definitely one I'd order again, especially if you're looking for a matcha that's approachable without sacrificing flavor. Con: ran out so quickly & just wish I had more! :( haha Will be back very soon!

6/7/2026 First time…read moreat Warabimochi Kamakura. WARABIMOCHI 12 PC MIX (2 FLAVORS) 6 PC KINAKO, 6 PC MATCHA The warabimochi is very soft and jiggly. Softer than boba, soft like jello, yet has that chewy, gooey texture. Not my favorite texture, but glad I tried it. I just saw that they had black sesame flavor too, but I was in such a rush, I must have missed it on the menu. Comes with a little bottle of brown sugar syrup, which is rich in brown sugar flavor and quite sweet too. When poured over the warabimochi, it does only taste like the brown sugar syrup. I would recommend that you eat the warabimochi with ice cream. I didn't order any at the store, but ate the ice cream I had at home. Choice of ice cream was Straus Family Creamery's Vanilla Bean. It didn't overpower the warabimochi flavors of the matcha or kinako, it simply added more creaminess and additional texture to the dessert. Also, you can get a firmer texture when you put the warabimochi in the fridge overnight, which I thought was much better and enjoyable to eat. HOJICHA CLOUD Very good hojicha flavor. But mostly it is cream. Hence, the name Cloud. I got it 100% sweetness and I asked for warabimochi pieces added to the drink. They give you a boba straw to drink. Warabimochi was very soft, light chewiness, cut into smaller pieces. The drink was very slightly on the sweeter side, but it's that or 50% sweetness level. There was a lot of ice in it, which means there's less hojicha drink too. Got it in medium size. Small size and medium size cost difference is 0.75 cents. Best to get a medium size. There's also a large size, which is much bigger in comparison to the medium. STRAWBERRY MATCHA CLOUD This had a good matcha and strawberry flavor all around. They also added warabimochi in this drink too. The matcha is a cream top and the rest is strawberries with milk. It tasted good and not overly sweet. This was 100% sweetness. Personally wished there wasn't any warabimochi in it, but it automatically comes with the drink. Did not realize there would be any in it too until after I ordered it. I would reorder the drinks. Maybe order one without warabimochi though. I would try their other drink offerings too. I haven't tried their black sesame warabimochi, so might return to try that one. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good, friendly customer service. Only two people working. Warabimochi came out first, then the drinks. Everything came out in order and quickly. LOCATION Located at Santa Anita Mall. First floor. At the food court. Across from Zumiez and Shoe Palace, Daniel's, Game Stop. Just follow the Food Court sign and you'll find it quicker. It is a stand alone store right in the center of the food court.

The cake was so delicious and honestly one of the cutest cakes I've ever ordered. The owner was super accommodating, I was able to pick it up a little early with no issues, which I really appreciated. And can we talk about the packaging?? SO. DAMN. CUTE. ( I forgot to take a pic but it was nicely wrapped) The original cake design had a little bear, but she changed it to a red heart, which was so nice and fit the theme perfectly. I'll 100% be ordering more from them for all my future occasions!!!

It is amazing how much variety they offer at this small shop, including but not limited to cakes, breads, bubble tea, and other desserts. I like to stop by for a drink when I am nearby. The matcha drinks and house special milk teas are pretty good. I would recommend the Brulee Matcha Shake, which has a smooth and creamy texture and is somehow not overly sweet. Brown sugar boba is the perfect topping to go with this drink.

Their bingsu and toppings all blended so well together it felt like I was eating a Chinese/Korean açaí bowl. It felt like a very light dessert and I could keep eating more of it. Some bingsu's are a bit more decadent. This place was just right. The bingsu was light and the texture was perfect. It wasn't too icy like some other places. Service was excellent! The cashier was kind and patient. We received our order quickly. There is plenty of seating inside the store. Bingsu Bingsu is located on the promenade side of the Arcadia Westfield mall.

I have been going to Moo Moo Mia for a while now and it has been one of my favorite delights when it comes to craft ice cream. They offer monthly flavors along with some more original staples and lets be honest, with summer looming, knowing a great ice cream spot is always a must. There are monthly flavors so I recommend swinging by early in the month to check out what great flavors they have cooked up. At the time of my visit, I was hooked on the Strawberry Koldski which was inspired by the Danish roots and a mix of sweet and tart Strawberry. I got a double and I simply wanted more. My go to, is the Oreo and Cream which is one of the best Cookies and Cream variants I have ever had. Everyone is super nice and you can have tastings of the different flavors until you land on one. Trust me, some flavors hit on different days! The shop is in the famous Monrovia shopping area, which adds to the allure of visiting. Parking is free and sitting and having a cup of ice cream in one of the benches is such a treat. Swing by and chill and enjoy some great ice cream! Cheers!

It is shared with other businesses, but I didn't have any problem The cafe is a small family owned business. It was clean and organized with indoor seating. It has inviting and relaxing vibes. The menu includes; various assortment of tea, milk tea, three color dessert, smoothies, matcha, fruit tea, coffee, and espresso. In addition to tea cakes and muffins. They offer also some savory snacks. The cafe was clean. The young lady who received our order, was very nice and friendly. They had an offer to buy two drinks and get the third free. So, we ordered the following; -Mango Strawberry Smoothie 5/5 The tropical flavor of mango mixed with sweet strawberry gave the drink creamy flavor and velvety texture. It was heavenly. - Strawberry Matcha 5/5 The drink was perfectly sweetened and refreshing. Then, we found out that if you buy six items from the bakery, you get the seventh free. We ordered the following from the bakery; - 3 carrot Tea Cakes 5/5 I really enjoyed this carrot tea cake. It had coconut and raisins. The texture was incredibly soft and rich in flavor. It's a must try! - 1 apple cinnamon Tea cakes 5/5 - 2 Almond Tea cake 5/5 - Chocolate Muffin 5/5 We enjoyed our drinks and the fresh tea cakes and muffins. This cafe is a hidden gem in Arcadia.

We ordered a mango smoothie, a camelia milk tea, and hojicha latte. The milk tea was great, just the right sweetness at 75%. The hojicha was so good! 50-75% recommended. The smoothie was lacking flavor for me, so I wouldn't order it again. It's a newer restaurant, with great promotional deals right now to check out. There's also tons of seating! Great spot to meet up with friends and family, or for a quick stop too. Can order through kiosk or at the counter. I'm planning on coming back to try their food and more of their drink menu!
