Most UNIQUE ice cream in the East Bay!!!
This place is so fire. I got the Honey Lavender and the Blue Jasmine and Passion Fruit Swirl as a split single scoop. The Honey Lavender was amazing -- floral, sweet, strong. Classic flavor pairing. The Jasmine and Passion Fruit Swirl was phenomenal -- the perfect floral tea base from the jasmine butterfly pea, with a refreshing pop of fruity brightness piercing through from the passion fruit. I absolutely looooove a good floral-fruity moment!
My sister got a split single of one of the flavors of the month, the Korean Coffee Corn Latte, and the other flavor was the Matcha Strawberry from their regular rotation of flavors. An aside -- Matcha Strawberry was smooth, rich, and not at all gritty. Even Matcha Cafe Maiko, sometimes their matcha can be gritty, and Maruwu Seicha too -- but this place was very good. Apparently, the kind of matcha they use is from Mizuba Matcha Tea Co. -- I'll have to check them out later! The Korean Coffee Corn Latte -- very coffee, very corn -- both strong and present flavors.
One, I love that they offer a split single scoop in general. Two, all of their curated starting flavors are so unique and wonderfully picked. I can confidently say I've never seen SO many distinct and palatable flavors before in one ice cream shop -- although it may be a lot for people who prefer simpler, less complicated flavors (not I!). The quality of their ice cream -- I sampled half of them -- were all really, really good. So creamy, very consistent in quality, strong flavors. I'm not having to fight to taste and figure out what flavor I'm eating.
This place is newly established in Berkeley, not a chain. The pink decorations in and outside the storefront are really cute. Their cups are cute too -- pink cow-print to match. Their menu layout is clear and appealing. Everything looks crisp, bright, and eye-catching.
Also, service is excellent. I tried so many samples, and the employee helping us (one of the store's cofounders!) was very kind and patient, not pushy. The place is still pretty low-key -- they just opened a week ago, so I'm excited to see it gain more attention and flourish, hopefully becoming a mainstay in the Berkeley food scene. I may come back just to try the rest of their monthly flavors!
