5. Iceskimo
Interactive, entertaining ice cream experience
Indulge in the delectable offerings at Iceskimo! We tried the strawberry shorty and Cookie Monster waffle creations topped with silky ube soft serve ice cream - a divine experience that left us completely satisfied. The attentive staff ensured prompt service, and the option of indoor and outdoor seating added to the overall charm of the place. A must-visit indeed!
The Ube soft serve at Iceskimo is a standout choice, earning high praise from us. While the tiger milk soft serve didn't quite hit the mark for me, taste preferences vary. I did, however, enjoy the pineapple Dole whip drink, despite the messy handover. For those looking for a memorable treat, the Ube soft serve is unequivocally the way to go!

6. LAB Desserts & Coffee
Cozy and relaxing atmosphere
LAB Desserts & Coffee boasts a quaint storefront that piques curiosity. Indulging in a taro shaved ice topped with green tea ice cream reveals a delightful blend of flavors. The taro shaved ice, with its fluffy texture and rich taro taste, is a real treat for the taste buds.
While the cotton candy burrito seems to captivate kids, other desserts may not appeal to all palates. The cafe's coffee selection and overall ambiance may not warrant a special visit, as the venue's limited space and lackluster atmosphere might leave patrons yearning for a more inviting experience next door at Common Theory.
