Our unique concept allows customers to customize their waffle cones with a wide array of ice cream flavors and toppings, creating a personalized and delightful experience. Alongside our signature waffles, we offer made-to-order bubble tea using premium ingredients sourced from Taiwan.

Our company mission is to create a fun, affordable, and unforgettable dessert experience for our customers. We are dedicated to serving visually stunning treats that taste as good as they look. Our aim is to attract individuals of all ages, providing a delightful experience that appeals to everyone. Moreover, we take pride in showcasing our favorite childhood snack while infusing it with our unique twist.

Our Asian fusion desserts blend the richness of Asian culture with the vibrancy of American influences, offering a fusion that is both nostalgic and exciting.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
