After seeing this store pop up all over social media for the past few months, we thought it would be nice to stop by and check what all the hype around this dessert was about.
Arriving around 30 minutes before closing (8:30), we immediately located the store by the crowd of people waiting in front of it. The line to order wasn't actually that long, but we waited about 15-20 minutes for our ice cream after paying. We ordered the bubble waffle with matcha and black sesame ice cream, but I think $10 (after tax) is a bit too much for just two scoops and a waffle.
The staff looked busy, and there were many people waiting on the side for their orders. They seemed to be rushing to catch up. There was a mistake in our order; we choose m&m's as a topping but got sprinkles instead. I noticed that they stayed open quite a bit after their closing time just to make the rest of the orders, though they look a few during that time as well.
Though I didn't dislike the taste of the bubble waffle or find anything particularly wrong with service, I probably won't go again; once for the aesthetic was enough for me.
