Huamao Kakigori was one of the trendiest spots for desserts in the neighborhood and it's always crowded, especially on weekends. We visited in the afternoon on a Saturday night and luckily the wait wasn’t too bad, only about 10 mins.

Apparently the owner and his girl friend put their heart into the interior. Coffee is as American as it can be, but I liked the feeling it gives me. An afternoon relaxation"

Price wise.... Did I said Japanese...
