Nice dessert cafe which is famous for shaved ice. It was located right beside the beach and was very popular. We were lucky enough to get in without queuing up before lunchtime. English menu not available but they have pictures of fruits beside each item on menu so it’s easy to order. They serve different flavours of shaved ice which portion is big enough for 2-ppl serving. Some limited items with season fruits eg pineapple / peaches are popular. We ordered pineapple with condensed milk shaved ice and iced latte. Shaved ice was topped with fresh pineapples and generous drizzles of pineapple syrup and condensed milk. Surprisingly matching of pineapple and condensed milk! We like it a lot. Iced latte was standard, not particularly impressive. Would recommend pay a visit and take a break here.
Shaved ice here is on the top notch! Especially watermelon flavour
One of the more upscale places on the beach. Cool and relaxing, but a bit pricey.
