Dan Harrison: The black sesame, when available, is one of my top five anywhere.
Hefe Hofo: I tried the brownie sundae... Wouldn't get it again. hard brownie, lots of cream.. The black sesame, caramel and earl grey were on the other hand really good.
Christina: The affogato (espresso poured over ice-cream) made with the Gianduja flavor (chocolate w/ hazelnuts) is ridiculously delicious. Perfection in a cup.
