| - 2 Stars and that's me being a little generous.
We arrived here after lunch with friends that are also Yelpers. I'm not going to speak for them, but in my opinion, Ice Monster has some work to do.
Ice Monster Cafe is new and a couple of hiccups are to be expected, right? They're new, clean, and a decent place to hang out at. However, what's lacking is a knowledgeable staff and desserts that are worth the price that they have them at. I had their Coffee Ice Cream, which is literally a small scoop of Blue Bunny Ice Cream. Tasted good, but not worth the $5.95 price tag. The biggest disappointment is the overall service. My gf had a few questions about the items on their menu and the staff couldn't even speak to it. They even stated that they could Google some of the items on the menu for us. Really? Google it?? I don't expect a new business/staff to be experts, but at least have some knowledge of what you're serving. A few of my friends had orders that either took too long (ie. 20 minutes for boba) or were just wrong (i.e. coffee instead of tea).
Overall, not a fan, not as good as it gets, but giving them a break with an "I've Had
Better" only because they're new. I'm sure they will improve and I hope they do. I look forward to reading better rated reviews and I'm willing to give them another go when that time comes. As for now, 2 stars are all they get from me.
PS: The Check-In Offer reads "1 Free purchase of 2 items". They're speaking Yoda and really mean "Buy 2 items and receive another 1 for free".
