I didn't have particularly high hopes for Ice Monster, so it was with low expectations that I walked in on a warm Saturday evening.
The shop is very cute, sleek and clean. Oddly located in the back of a strip mall, hidden away from the street by a popular chain dessert shop, which probably explains why the shop was so empty on a Saturday evening.
My friend and I ordered the pineapple lychee snow ice as well as a mango sensation snow ice to share. The desserts were gorgeous and well-presented in a martini glass. Unfortunately, looks were indeed deceiving. Pretty, but the flavors were lacking for both of the dishes. I preferred the pineapple lychee to the mango but they both had an unappealing artificial flavor I didn't care for. Neither my friend nor I felt the need to finish either dish.
I'd be interested to try their other menu items, but I don't see myself making any special effort to return based on my first visit.
Items sampled: mango and lychee snow ice.
