If you love all things green tea, don't miss Mr. Matcha! Enjoy hot and cold matcha tea beverages or savor a matcha soft-serve ice cream treat. Their black sesame cones make for a uniquely photo-worthy dessert. But nothing beats the Mr. Matcha Sundae. Not your everyday sundae, this tasty treat begins with a base of red bean paste that is then topped with black sesame, matcha soft serve and mochi.
#5 Nitrolado: Churro Bowls
Made with sugar, spice and everything nice, the churro bowls at Nitrolado are a fun and unique take on your traditional scoop of ice cream. These addicting treats start with a warm churro bowl base in a variety of flavors including classic cinnamon, red velvet, green tea and ube. Next, liquid nitrogen gelato is scooped into the bowl (or try it with the churro bowl on top) and topped with everything from fruity pebbles to Oreo cookies.
