| - Bang Bang's ice cream flavours are pretty bomb, unique... & worth the wait. If you haven't come here yet, chances are you'll at least have already heard of this place or seen "Insta-worthy" photos posted all over social media and the Internet. The store has pun-full flavours pictured on their website such as Totaro (coconut & purple yam/ube - not to be confused with taro), Burnt Toffee, & Thank You Very Matcha but scroll down their online ice cream visuals and you'll see a list of overwhelming yuminess also served in-store. They're always experimenting with new flavour combinations & also have seasonal flavours so there's a reason to want to come back.
My friends and I went on a Saturday afternoon so the line-up was inevitable but moved quickly. We ordered: seasonal flavour Love Oolong Time & London Fog, Burnt Toffee sandwiched between The Everything cookie (two types of chocolate, pretzels, peanut butter, & oatmeal), and a new flavour of theirs - Coffee & Cigarettes (Vietnamese coffee, iribancha - smoked - green tea, & bourbon) also sandwiched b/w The Everything cookie.
My faves are the Love Oolong Time (stronger tea flavour than London Fog which has a nice softer tea flavour) and the Coffe & Cigs (because it has a good coffee kick to it) - I guess I like my caffeine.
Bottom line - the ice cream flavours alone are worth the trek to Bang Bang. With unique flavours executed well & an overwhelming amount to choose from, you'll definitely wanna come back to keep trying new ones. The cookies are all right - they're on the crunchier side of cookies (whereas I prefer crispy and soft ones) & The Everything cookie had a stronger than I wanted PB flavour - I need more chocolate! The other pastries' availability will depend on the day - you just gotta pop by. They didn't have the chiffon cake I wanted to try but it looks like they'll usually have an assortment of cookies and the egg waffles (which I don't know are worth it since you can find good egg waffles elsewhere). Come here for the ice cream, dress it up with a baked good if you want, & definitely enjoy the very aesthetic and delicious food!
