I do wish it has a stronger taste/smell of the green tea though. If you don't want the whole parfait, can also opt for the ice cream only - Hojicha and Matcha are both great choices.

Rejoice! I don't have to go all the way to Causeway Bay or TST to enjoy some matcha soft serve!…read moreHowever, this is more of a takeaway spot with a limited menu and standing room only, so it's not ideal if you need time to take that perfect photo for your blog or Instagram. So far I've tried the matcha soft cream and matcha+Hokkaido milk mixed cones. The portion is not too big, and the quality of the soft serve is up to par (though the matcha seems to have a more mild taste than what I've tried at Kyo Hayashiya or Via Tokyo.) It's possible to ask for the soft cream to be served in a cup if you don't like cones. If you're not craving the soft serve, they have a few cakes and drinks you can partake in. Hooray for being able to satisfy matcha cravings in Central!

However, I did try a piece of tiramisu cake and a fresh fruit puff. They were both sensational. The sponge cake in the tiramisu was soft and smooth with a distant coffee flavor. I could definitely taste the liquor. I loved the fresh whipped cream in the puff. It was light, airy and not overly sweet. The fruit on the top was extremely fresh (strawberry, kiwi, peach, and raspberry) with a sugar gelatin coating.

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.

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.

I walked by this bakery one day and wondered what all the hubbub was. I had seen plenty of cheese…read moretarts and other cheesecake-like desserts in Japan and was curious by the popularity. The interior is rather minimalist but clean. The cheese tart was so warm and fresh that it actually was a bit of a detriment. As I was about to grasp said tart to consume, the crust crumbled very easily and warm cheese filling flowed right round the tart cup and partly onto the bar table I was standing at. What I got to eat was quite good, however. The filling is smooth and not too sweet while the crumbly crust provided some (I suppose) structure to the dessert. There isn't a strong cream cheese flavor but more of a neutral cream flavor. I was just rather disappointed that I looked like a slob as I was consuming the dispersed dessert that resembled me dropping it on the floor. Like the decor, the service is minimal. While staff is not grumpy, don't expect much of a reception here.

The cheese tart (芝士撻) really started at the Causeway Bay location (https://www.yelp.com/biz/71IB0MVMT_FI9yWG4r0UNg), which after many lines and cheese tarts sold prompted the second location to be in good ol Kowloon. TST will forever have outlets of popular fad businesses. Only I don't think cheese tarts are a fad and that I think they're here to stay. Most folks can't get enough of them, myself included, especially at this location along Cameron Road. During the day time, the hubbub is so much that this place is often a mess during peak rush hours. It's easy to see why: the tarts are cheesy, ultra savory, and come in various flavors (baked cheese, matcha green tea, chocolate, egg custard). The only thing they aren't is cheap, which at $22HKD is a good grip for a single tart. Tarts aren't the only game for baked goods at this location thankfully, an item that often gets overlooked are their individual baked cheese cakes and custom pastries. In terms of selection, they alone put this location over their sister spot in Causeway Bay. My favorite of the bunch are the Blueberry Cheesecakes (藍莓芝士蛋糕), which I caution for lactose in tolerant folks is not kind to your insides. I would suggest a Caramel Egg Pudding (焦糖雞蛋布甸) instead. Last I visited, it was cash or octopus card only. They're always well staffed (if not overstaffed) with lots of eager young ladies who are looking to offer freshly baked Japanese goods to the masses. For cheese tart fans anywhere, this is one of the better spots to slay your inner cheesy cravings.

There's a frosted glass partition on the table. While our knees are almost touching, we can't see each other. Double Skin Milk is a pudding with a smooth, creamy, and custardy texture. You can have it either cold or hot depending on your mood. The best part is the thick chewy skin that has formed on the top of the pudding. There's something extremely satisfying about carving little slices off the pudding with your spoon.

The staff was really helpful, let you try different flavors and were very friendly. Easy check out as well. No seating inside the parlor, so you would need to find a bench if you didn't want to walk and eat the ice cream....if it lasts that long. Ha! Great choice...definitely try it out if in the area!
