This cool creamery has been serving happy customers in America for the last several years, but is a newcomer to the Japanese marketplace. With three locations in the Kanto area, (Grandberry Mall, Landmark Plaza, and Roppongi Hills) this cutting edge ice cream parlor is confection perfection.

If the warm, inviting scent of waffle cones doesn't lure you in, your curiousity will. The lines of people spilling out from the shop filled with singing and dancing ice cream scoopers will surely stand out among the typically conservative Japanese dining establishments. The lines move fast, and sometimes you may still be left with the difficult task of choosing just one signature creation. With three sizes—Like It, Love It, and Gotta Have It—customers can create their own blend of exotic creams (cake batter and red licorice to name a few) and mix-ins. The cheerful staff will throw a scoop full of your cream of choice onto the signature "coldstone" and then professionally mix in fresh ingredients such as graham cracker crusts, cheesecake bites, and warm brownie chunks. The clatter of the scoops and whimsical singing give off a Santa's workshop ambiance.

The Like It size runs about 500 yen, but it is worth every last spoonful. If you choose to enjoy your creation in a freshly baked, chocolate dipped waffle bowl, add an extra 200 yen. Seasonal and monthly flavors are also featured regularly. This cool creamery is hot, hot, hot!
