| - 4.0 for the novelty and 3.0 for the taste. I guess a solid 3.5 for me.
I'd been wanting to try thai ice cream rolls FOREVER. So when I heard that a new place had just opened in the Glendale area, I rushed right over.
Maya has two sections, one with Indian food and one with the ice cream rolls. For the ice cream rolls, you can peruse the menu and pictures then fill out a form stating what you would like in your order. You pick a base, then a flavor, then toppings, etc. I decided to go with a cold brew coffee base with chocolate ice cream, caramel sauce, and frosted flakes. The place was somewhat busy when I went in and it did take a while to get the orders out. Keep in mind that there was one employee there making the ice cream rolls and ringing up the orders. And well, ice cream rolls in general take some time to make. He may have misread my form, but I ended up getting fruity pebbles rather than frosted flakes with my order. By that time, there was an even bigger line and I didn't feel like having it re-made just because one topping was off.
The taste of the roll itself was just so-so for me. I paid roughly $7.00 for the large size and typically, when I pay such a high price, I expect the flavor to be off the charts amazing. My friends felt the same about their roll as well. Service was super friendly which is what ultimately made me give this place a 4.0. It's definitely a one time experience that everyone should try out, but I'm not sure if I'll continue to go to this place for repeat visits.
