Kakigori Dessert Cafe

I was in the neighborhood selling back some books at half Price books, when I saw this cute little dessert bar, there was a menu listed outside so I made sure to take photos and make a decision before going in. Upon entering, I noticed there was another separate menu on a small board to the left of the desert counter. I stood for a little bit before I was greeted, and no one seemed particularly welcoming or excited to be there. They all seemed courteous and busy with their own tasks When I went to order the "cheese tea", the cashier had me repeat it a few times as it wasn't familiar to her. Thankfully, I was able to pull up the photo on my phone and order it correctly as the "cheese black tea." I also ordered a taro and red bean croffle, which I learned is a mix between a waffle and a croissant. I absolutely love the flakiness of croissants so I couldn't wait to try it. I ordered everything to-go and waited in the long and narrow hallway on the left side of the cafe that had a beautiful artificial floral wall. While I waited, I was able to peruse some house plants for sale. As a house plant mom myself, I loved that they had this, and it added a sense of relaxation. My order came out promptly within a few minutes, but the croffle was made for here. No biggie, I had a few minutes to spare. So I enjoyed it inside. Although I could see what they meant with the blend of the two desserts, there was no real flakiness to the waffle. I think the batter was a little heavy, and it made the inside a little gummy. Apart from that, it smelled like a yummy donut and tasted like one too. The outside was delightfully crunchy, and I liked that the red bean and taro was not overly sweet. The cheese black tea on the other hand, was a little watery. The cheese foam was not as flavorful as I've had in other places either. Lastly, I think it would be really nice to see them use reusable silverware instead of plastic silverware. I'm sure I would be free to bring my own, but it would be so nice to support a business that was doing their part to be sustainable. Based on my experience today, I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. But others might have a different experience.

Decent quality desserts at a reasonable price, with a very low-key cafe vibe. What more can you want? I had the ube softserve - the missus ordered a mini watermelon bingsu. They definitely hit the spot - the softserve ($6, +$3 for toppings) is on the bigger end (think full cup size) and the mini bingsu ($11).Service is fast and courteous. We ordered, sat down, and the food came out fast without any issues. Ambiance is a Japanese or Korean pop album? It's hard to hear the lyrics - but it's not English, that is for sure.Missus rates this a 3.5 - too few toppings. I agree with the lack of options for toppings - but also generally the lack of options / variety.It's definitely on the higher end of both price and "value for money" - and freshness / tastiness isn't an issue here.

YUM SO GOOD!! We got the Thai iced tea bingsu and watermelon bingsu. Both were 10/10 the watermelon was sweet but not too sweet, the real watermelon gave it the natural sweet flavor. The watermelon balls were a perfect touch to the top. The Thai ice tea was very good, a little on the sweet side but perfect amount of ice and Thai ice tea mixture. The bear on top was cute and tasty! We also got the waffle, the Oreo cookies one. We loveee these croffles everywhere so chewy and crispy and yummy! Can't wait to try all the other flavors. Every time we find shrimp chips anywhere we always get them!!! (We forgot to take a picture of them because we ate them so fast) it's a big bag for 7$ I believe. I hear they get them flown in from somewhere once every few weeks, so worth it! The service is a bit slow, when we went it wa donkey 1 girl and we felt bad because she seemed a bit overwhelmed. The ambiance is a whole nother story, the inside theme is plants (which you can also purchase and we did!) it's filled with plants and lights for the plants, it's so cute and a great quiet place to grab boba and take some pictures. Definitely 1 of my fave spots to take people!

I came here on a Wednesday around 7:30PM and there was no one in the store. Our bingsu was ready within 5 minutes. I had such high expectations for this place but there were so many bugs/flies in the store that I couldn't enjoy my bingsu and had to eat in the car..Aside from all the bugs, all the desserts here are really cute! The bingsus and some of their drinks come with cute frozen animals on top. I thought the Thai tea bingsu was pretty sweet so I would probably opt for something else next time. Other than the fly situation, the bingsu was pretty mediocre. The store is really cute with all the plants but that's probably causing all the fly's to come in.

I wanted something sweet for dessert and this place was close to where I had dinner so made the trek. I went something they called crowaffle which I guess is there version of a croissant waffle and the matcha, azuki, and mochi topping. My only concern was all the employees were young and didn't seem to take it seriously and kept opening the waffle iron to check if it was done. I took it to the hotel to eat. The waffle was okay, it was like a mochi waffle and the mochi topping had some hard parts so not sure if it was old. It was okay.

Really yummy treats and great variety of flavors. The fresh mochi served on the side that came with our bingsu is to die for!!! I'd come back just to eat that. We shared a mini which was a perfect serving for two. The only downside is that everything is pretty pricey.

The place is a bit different as they are selling plants too, many exotic plants. My favorite dessert is the mango sticky rice. Friendly service.

Both items that we both got were very delicious and would go back again to try some others! Wasn't too busy and nice little place with some interesting plants for sale up front

Glad this place is near me because I loooove dessert. I have tried the watermelon bingsu, mayo cheesecake bingsu, strawberry cheesecake waffle, and the mango sticky rice. All are good! None are the best I've ever had but the service is great, food comes out pretty fast (and made to order including each waffle), and the quality is consistent.They also sell plants which is cute. I've had good lucky with the ones I've purchased from here, but you have to be careful. On several occasions I've seen them selling some very sick plants and some that are heavily infested with spider mites.

Great dessert and boba place with friendly and prompt service. Ample seating options at bar stools and good selection of drinks and cakes.
