Edited after realizing everything is Vegan! I'm not a vegan but did the diet for a month and know the different tastes that comes with being a vegan. I thought everything was made to order but everything is premade other than the soft-serve fish cone. Those cones are made to order for a 15-20 min wait. There are premade mini stuffies, which are two different flavors each week, either vanilla custard, raspberry jelly or chocolate custard. Also dipped and sprinkled stuffies for a little more and custom stuffies, which has icing painted on, for extra cuteness. You can buy these in packs or combinations. Larger hot and sweet or savory stuffies are also premade, and each flavor is limited for the day or you pick from what is on the shelf. These are traditional Korean stuffed bread so I was expecting to see redbean flavour to get for my dad, but didn't see it. Also, they have vegan soft-serve icecream stuffies. I had a little of everything. Their actual vegan soft serve icecream isn't the best. Bit too sweet for me and not as creamy as I'd like. I can see small ice-like frozen milk. Not sure what milk they're using to make it but I've had more creamy and not overly sweet vegan icecream. This place doesn't specialize in icecream so it's okay. If you want the fish cones with your soft serve, they're made fresh to order so get ready to wait 15-20 mins. They asked if I wanted it in a cup or wait. No mention of a cheaper price if icecream is in a cup. If I'm going to pay $7, I'm definitely waiting to get the edible fish cone. Fish cone was tasty, chewy and held the melting icecream well. No leaks! The soft-serve icecream as mentioned was too sweet for me but my kids liked it. Worth the visit for the mini stuffies or the larger sweet or savory stuffies. Icecream had great presentation but was too sweet for me and in my opinion not worth the...
Read moreCame in at 230 pm today to try one of their stuffies as it was close and I was famished. Came in the store and behind the counter was a gentleman doing something like counting cash and or receipts so I looked at the menu a bit until he acknowledged me, this never happened so after I took in all the menu I finally looked at him and he quickly glanced at me so I then proceed with a friendly "hello how are you"? Replies " fine thank-you" and proceeds with the more important task at hand vs serving a customer. At this point my response would of been to simply walk out but as I said before me was hungryyyy, so I notice some pre made sandwiches ready to go and at this point I wouldn't of had time to wait for a made to order anything let alone their signature stuffies so I grab a tuna salad on brown pay the man and say to myself "see you never again" leave the store and open the package,pull out an overly wet half of a tuna sandwich...judging by the wetness I would assume the poor thing must of been in the case since earlier in the week but you know what, other than the texture it tasted pretty good, maybe I was that hungry. So with that said and the fact that according to other reviews stating they recieved friendly service I'll give the place another go, this time I'll go when not rushed for time and hopefully that day one of the friendly staff...
Read moreThis is our second time there, first time went flawlessly so we expected the same today. It was really empty when we went in today, and we noticed there was almost no inventory in the display shelf (on a Saturday at 2pm)?! We wanted to get sprinkle stuffies as a gift so we were willing to wait, they told us 15 mins. Upon checking out we also decided to get some day-old Cro-tai for sale, because why not? (We don't like to see food go to waste)
30 mins later we came back to the store to find that our order was still not ready. while we patiently waited for the order, we kindly asked the staff to heat up one of the Cro-tai but was told that they "do not heat up day old Cro-tai s", not even a simple microwave as a favor to customers... And when the order was finally ready, they informed us that one of the sprinkled stuffies was messed up and they offered to replace it with an extra regular stuffie... That is clearly Not what we had wanted for our gift box, especially after a 30 mins-wait for a single 24pack box.. but we were in a rush so we had to leave. Eating a cold Cro-tai. Never...
