Hisaya Kyoto Chestnuts

This location is the only one that offer soft serve, matcha goes well w/ chestnuts. Small tatami space -

Love the concept but poorly executed. I got the chestnut snowstorm, which was soft serve from a machine with smashed up bits of chestnuts in it and served in a paper water cup. It was definitely tasty but the soft serve didn’t really taste like chestnuts despite it being chestnut flavored. I initially thought they made the soft serve themselves with real chestnuts but it doesn’t seem to be the case. The soft serve tasted more like rum-raisin. Also, the chestnut bits were few and far between for the price paid ($6). Would have been nice to get at least a few whole pieces of chestnuts. I’d estimate there were probably 2 total chestnuts smashed up in my snowstorm. Overall, the snowstorm was still satisfying but it was not the unique delicate handcrafted Japanese dessert I was imagining in my head beforehand.

I love this chestnut!!! It is super YUMMY!! I also love there chestnut milk tea. According to their website, there is 2 branches in irvine and buena park. However, when I went to buena park, I couldnt find it, so I had to call and ask. They said, they closed the irvine and buena park branch. I was kinda disappointed about it. If they closed the branch, they supposed to delete the locations on website or update that they closed that area. I spent more than 30 min to find the place. I was expecting to eat the chestnut at buena park, but I couldnt. However, eventho I got this disappointment experience, I love their chestnut. XD

Dope little dessert and coffee spot! Peep the post-its on the wall, COMEDY DUDE! The ice cream and cakes are delectable, and the coffee is powerful. Odd ambiance, but not bad. Wish the dude at the kneeling table on the stage would take a hike so I can sit there!

The chestnuts were so soft and sweet I definitely recommend getting a small bag for snacking and sharing.
