Taiyaki
Taiyaki is a dessert-focused ice cream shop specializing in fish-shaped pastries filled and topped with soft-serve ice cream, including vegan options. The dairy-free soft serves like matcha and black sesame are popular, and the vegan taiyaki shells with fillings take slightly longer to prepare. The shop offers a casual atmosphere with options for dine-in, takeout, and delivery, receiving praise for its vegan-friendly choices, though some reviews point to occasional confusion and caution about allergen cross-contamination.
