What customers say?

“ Food is always delicious, and Alec is a very friendly person. Place is very nice and clean, setup is simple and elegant. 5/5 This place is a chill spot for me everytime I wanna study of meet with friends. Food mainly served here are pastries and ice cream, which are perfect combinations. The pastries are served warm, fluffy and delicious. The ice cream is savory and sweet. You'll find that the address directs you to the plaza next to it, but it reality it's in the back of the plaza where the Bank of America is. ”

“ This place is a Gem, the Bolo Boa with ice cream is so good, if you are anywhere close you have to stop by. ”

“ I LOVE LOVE LOVE the parmesan garlic fries they are my favorite thing ever. They are very garlicky and I can find no other garlic fries that suit my tastes like this place does, I am in LOVE. The garlic is cooked at a level where it still has a kick, and that’s what I like. It goes really well with the aioli they provide as well. For those who are sensitive to the spiciness in garlic, their regular fries are also super worth getting. The ice cream is yummy with unique flavors, and the crunchy cones pair deliciously with it. I got the Pink Lady drink and it's so tasty and refreshing. Their drinks are Asian approved not-too-sweet!!! Guy behind the counter is also super sweet. If I were a pharaoh I’d ask for those garlic fries to be put in my tomb…I think about those fries at night when I try to sleep and I wonder how much better my life would be if this establishment was open til 2am and was actually right next to my house. If there is one fan of those garlic fries it’s me. ”

“ Tucked away in a corner of Midway Plaza, this charming ice cream shop is worth the small treasure hunt to find. Look carefully as you approach —it's slightly off to the side and easy to miss on your first visit. The reward for your persistence? Delightfully unique flavors like Cookie Monster-flavored ice cream! Can you say no to that? I thought so! They unfortunately ran out of cones at the time, but I thoroughly enjoyed getting my ice cream sandwiched inside a 菠蘿包 (pineapple bun). When they told me I had that option, I was sold! This place is a sweet treasure awaiting dessert hunters willing to venture to rare locations! ”

“ Was not expecting the bun to be nice and warm. It was also fluffy! Ice cream wasn't too sweet which is a good thing. ”

“ got the half green tea and half nutella cookie in the bolo bao! the crispy and warm bun paired so well with the not-too-sweet ice cream, and toppings were free! definitely coming back again as it was very affordable too, only $6.25. the service was amazing too and the guy was very patient with my questions ”

“ Came late in the afternoon and there wasn't anyone there so no wait to order. I got the green milk tea ice cream scoop in a cup ($3.25). The employee was pretty friendly and gave us a sample when we asked. Since there was no one there, I got my order quickly and that was nice. The scoop of ice cream was a reasonable size for the price and was pretty good. It was not too sweet or creamy and did taste a bit like green milk tea- which is not a bad thing either. I liked that it had a subtle taste that you can enjoy without feeling overwhelmed halfway into eating. I will probably come back again to try their matcha ice cream or maybe their snacks. ”

“ Just discovered this place from fellow Yelpers. Amazing ice creams with creative twice and fantastic customer service. The buzz here is the Bolo Bao ice cream. I love Bolo Bao and Ice Cream. So when they are combined together, I go nuts. Once I saw that on Yelp, I knew I had to give this place a try. My wife and I ordered their famous Bolo Bao with Ube and Green-tea ice creams. With the Bolo Bao still warm, the ice cream tasted extra delicious I feel everyone should try this, you will love it. Customer service was excellent as the guy at the shop helped us patiently to select flavors and provided us samples of the ice creams and boba teas. They do serve several of my favorites ice cream flavors such as black sesame, Cookie Monster, lavender and jasmine. Since this place is located next to Bank of America on Lower Azusa which is not too far from my place, I will definitely be frequenting this shop often. ”
