I hesitate to write this review because I'd honestly like this cafe to be more of a hidden secret.
The cafe is quite small, with 5-6 tables. The cafe was half filled on a Tuesday afternoon. Our Korean friend enlighten us about how Korean shaved ice is far superior to Taiwanese shaved ice. And I'd have to agree. Mind you, Taiwanese shaved ice is awesome too. But the consistency of the ice is reminiscent of very light coconut flakes. I remember I was shocked at how light it was on my first scoop.
We ordered two large bowls ($10/bowl), one was red bean and green tea and the other was a soybean powder both topped with almond slices and mochi. The soybean powder was a huge surprise. It wasn't overly sweet and the powder mixed with the ice didn't leave your mouth feeling dry. Both flavours are highly recommended!
I'd definitely like to come back and try more flavours. The only regret was that we only ordered two bowls between four people. We had to keep eyeing how much was left in the bowl and pretend to be courteous when really, you wanted to lick the remnants off the bowl...
