| - Cafe Summer is a cute and cozy cafe located on the Southwest side of town on Rainbow. There's plenty of parking and I love how you don't have to travel to Spring Mountain to indulge in yummy sweets and drinks. The decoration is adorable. Since the last time that I was here, they've added a Zen Pod (as pictured). It's a start up company based in San Jose that offers a convenient pod with a computer in order to conduct business. From what the company's website said, it's the first pod to be placed somewhere public. Besides that, the environment is very peaceful. There were a few parties studying and there is plenty of seating!
The only dessert that I've tried here is the taiyaki. The ice cream and filling is great. You have the option to choose your ice cream flavor, filling flavor, and topping. We ordered the matcha green tea ice creaming taiyaki with Pocky and red bean filling. Everything about it was good except that the shell was way too hard. Taiyaki is typically soft like waffles; however, the shell was like eating potato chips. There are plenty of other desserts that I want to try, in addition to the savory snacks, so this won't deter me from coming back in the future.
We ordered the lychee rose and the orange yuzu drink. The butterfly pea tea wasn't as flavorful as it typically is at other places, but it wasn't bad either. The lychee rose was super refreshing. It had light carbonation and hints of lychee. There are so many options on the drink menu, so I hope to come back to try them all.
The customer service was polite and fast. We came here after a bad experience at a nearby dessert shop nearby and I'm glad that we had another option.
Definitely check this place out if you're in the area, whether you need to study or catch up with a friend (they have board games).
