You use a touchscreen to order and pay and they announce your number when it's ready. Both orders were delicious. The float had boba on the bottom and was filled to the brim so they had to eat the soft serve down a bit before being able to put a boba straw in. The matcha cheese mousse cake has a layer of azuki beans on the bottom, multiple layers of subtle complimentary flavors. Yummy dessert for after your ramen! Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious ice cream! This is the place when you are craving icecream for sure!…read more The online reviews of the store are actually legit, even if you get the smallest size of their ice cream, it is insanely large. I mean, I was beyond full with eating half of whole icecream and I'm still having seconds as we speak! Now as for the flavors, they have soooo many and of course you can customize it to your own preference. I decided to go with the preset ones and as a chocolate lover, this ice cream did not disappoint! As for customer service they are very efficient, very diligent and of course very helpful!

It was also not vibrant green of a matcha as like the picture in store. Felt the hairs of the mango in the ice cream so it wasn't pleasant. It tasted like the matcha was not good quality/off and just mango hairs in it. It was thick like Greek yogurt but lacked any of the flavors Staff was kind and polite and service was quick but taste wise would not go again

My friend mentioned there was a great ice cream place that opened near me, and I couldn't wait to…read moretry it! Far out blends fruit into their ice creams which makes them taste out of this world. You can either make your own flavor by choosing a base ice cream and picking out your fruit as well as toppings. I tried the Elvis which is a chocolate banana ice cream with a peanut butter topping and crunchy chocolate pieces and flakes of sea salt. It was so rich and creamy. I loved every bite. The staff was great at keeping up with the line and we got our order in no time at all. One thing I will say is, it's a bit pricey for a small cup. However I understand fresh fruit is expensive and I will pay for a delicious treat like this any day, def worth it. We will definitely be back to try more flavors from Far out.

They were also out of a flavor I wanted which was unfortunate, but the service was otherwise fine and quick. It's a little steep in pricing for the scoop size, but the flavors were tasty enough. Overall, I don't think I would come out of my way to try it again, but it was a nice dessert.

My husband said the mint chip was fairly good. My sister-in-law was disappointed with the London fog which was too subtle and tasted like vanilla. In any case.

We had a wonderful time here and enjoyed a few shakes before we headed home. I hope I am remembering correctly, they have oat milk, almond milk and whole milk. The cereal is blended in and topped off with a cookie and a few more cereal pieces. I would love to try the bowls next time! The cereal bar is a new business in this area of MA. There is one high table with 2 chairs and no other seating so it's more of a take it to go type of business. There's a few parking spaces on the street too for convenience. They also have a few merch items they are selling. Would love to purchase a shirt if that ever comes into production. Rodney was an amazing host. Hours will be expanding when new staff have been hired. I can't wait until then!

Icy Grass Jelly Signature 鮮芋仙招牌仙草冰沙: Compared to the refreshing taste of grass jelly, it's more like herbal jelly with a slightly rounder flavor.

I had their 10 dollar signature curry. It was a lot of food for the price. Complete with shredded chicken and served with plenty of rice! I loved it! The hojicha latte was very strong and tasted amazing. It wasn't sweetened much, so I guess you can really taste the hojicha! I think it was very skillfully made. Also tried one of their onigiri. You get the onigiri at the cashier when you order. Not sure what happened but the first person I talked to didn't give me one when I ordered. I had to go back and talk to them to get one. The braised pork and egg is quite good and almost tastes like fish roe as it's so rich and tasty. The interior is spacious. But can feel a little cramped or difficult to get around it.

I wanted to love this place, but it's a mismatch for the vibe I was seeking…read more I was looking for zen, and given my view of the grocery store from my seat, a view of the prep kitchen in the other direction, the beat of the hip pop music playing unexpectedly loudly, and the lines, I'm thinking it's more of an urban, 20-something vibe. I probably would have loved it in my 20s. They do have a room with tatami mats & exposed brick with the vibes I was hoping for, but a woman is talking and gesticulating animatedly in there, and at another table there's a toddler, whereas the tables on the floor are ironically much quieter. Maybe I'll check out that room next time? I get the establishment isn't responsible for patrons' volume or meltdowns. They have signs asking you not to stay more than 90 minutes...which I find fascinating, as the ambiance doesn't lend itself towards lingering. Nonetheless, 4 stars because I really enjoyed my first iced Houjicha Latte. In the future, I'll take my drink orders to go.

There's so many options when it comes to food, hot food or quick food! My favorite are the hand-rolls, ranges from $4-$8, and the strawberry matcha latte, perfect flavor and sweetness. The onigiris in the fridge are fantastic, as low as $2 and is amazing to eat later, but there are fresh made ones for about $4 each. They also have the infamous egg sandos, for quick grabs! I need to try the curry katsu next time because I see so many people ordering those. Sometimes they have food demonstrations from Japan and they are always so nice! It's fun in here, but finding a seat could be difficult during lunch hour, but people tend to come and go, so it's worth the wait.

I also got the iced plum tea and it was refreshing with a kick of cinnamon and tart fruit flavors, but not too sweet. One of the better iced teas I've had. The line to order was long but moved quickly, and there is one seating area with typical tables and chairs as well as one where you remove your shoes and sit on the floor. The drinks took a while to come out, simply because there were so many orders, but overall was a great and delicious experience!

They offer four types of ice cream: matcha, hojicha, ube, and yuzu. There are flavor restrictions (see menu) for mixes, but you can have any combination. A cup costs $7.75 and is enough for two people. Matcha Soft Served Ice Cream: It looked ordinary, but the taste was authentic and pure, with a rich, bitter and fragrant aroma. For most palates, it might even be a bit too bitter. According to the shop, they use matcha from Harima Garden播磨園, Uji宇治. The texture was also very smooth. Ube Soft Served Ice Cream: After seeing the annual "Art in Bloom", I felt the taro flavor was more suitable for the blooming flowers of spring. Spring should be sweet, not bitter! It also had a very pure and natural flavor, not too sweet, but very fragrant. Its texture was a bit smoother than the matcha one. I'd love to try the parfait and drinks next time! However, you need to pick up your food at the counter yourself, and it gets crowded and chaotic on weekends.
