| - Let's say I'm a sucker for all things matcha, so I am thrilled to see it open a franchise in the heart of Mississauga.
In terms of their green tea soft serve, 5 stars, as you can really taste the strength and bitterness of the matcha in a delicately smooth and creamy consistency.
However, this review is only 4 stars as I found their desserts disappointing, which I have ranked in order from best to worse (in my opinion):
Matcha Cookie Puff ($3): Despite this being the cheapest of the desserts, I thought the green tea soft serve paired best with a savoury doughy exterior. The downfall was you craved more of the interior than the exterior, which was nothing to take home about.
Matcha Daifuku ($5): A true disappointment as I'm generally a mochi fan. This was super bitter (even though I like bitter matcha) because of the thin layer of the mochi and the generous dusting of matcha powder on an already strong matcha soft serve. Essentially it is bitter on bitter.
Matcha Rare Cake ($5.75): You expect a lot out of the visuals and price, only to have it fall short below expectations. Personally the cheese and matcha layers were very odd when you ate it together! I would have preferred it separately, as the cheesecake layer and matcha layer tasted great separately on its own. But together it was a weird bitter cheesy taste that was surprisingly a bad combination.
Consensus: Come here to indulge in just the pure, unadultered matcha soft serve or drinks. Avoid the desserts, but if you have to try one, the puff seems best.
