I came across this wonderful place and amongst many ice creams shop around that I’ve been to in that area, this one stood out! The waiter called Jolie really outdid herself. She served me such a good boba tea that I felt butterflies in my stomach. I’m planning to propose on the next visit!

By far one of my top 3 most recommended ice cream milk shakes. So good, myself and my partner have been there 3 times over the past 24 hours.

Really Friendly service - and they made me an Italian dessert called an Affogato which wasn’t on their menu- it was delicious. Will definitely return and would highly recommend.
