Nestled in an unassuming strip mall, this is a hidden gem!! The ice cream/shaved ice combination with honey toast as well as milk tea makes it worth the visit. However, there are no dairy free options as a heads up, which would be the only addition to make this cafe better. This is highly recommended!
Wowowow delicious and amazing. Totally tucked away on a busy street in suburbia but we’ll worth it for the delicious shaved ice! I tried the Strawberry Limeaide and I am Magnificent and both were large! Easily shared amongst 3 adults and a hungry child. Can’t wait to come back for the toast which also looks enough for multiple people.
My daughter found this shop on IG and we wanted to give it a try but none of the employees were wearing masks.😔 Knowing what we know about how Covid is transmitted and that even if vaccinated you can still contract the virus, people working with food should be masked.
Yummy!!!! Oh my goodness this was some of THE best dessert I have had in a while!! Unique combos & very filling. Couldn’t eat it all!! Cute aesthetics, loved the Penguin logo & a perfect end to a meal! Not a ton of seating but you can still social distance in there if you stay. Great customer service. The photos on the counter have detailed info on eave dessert to help you decipher what you want. That was helpful. Would go back again!!!!
“I am”, a place that brings a new meaning to the slogan…”feeling like home”.I have never been more impressed. From the atmosphere, to the professionalism, to the kindness; you feel at home from the moment you walk in the door.This business promotes self love and self positivity.Grasping the concepts of these two things is difficult, until you walk through the door of “I am”.Today I believed in “I am”.Well done, well done.
EXCELLENT customer service, and the dessert was worth the money. Roughly $7 starting out, and its easily split among two people. Great place for a date night, or in our case, a daddy-daughter date! Please give me a like if this review is helpful!
Absolutely the best dessert Cafe EVER! I had never had shaved icecream before. Not like this. Huge portions at a great price and the taste blew my mind away. Also really friendly staff like 3 people asked me how i liked my dessert. Super nice! Perfect 5 stars, i will come again!
I Am is a great little dessert cafe. The inside is beautifully decorated, making you never want to leave. The menu is focused on two types of dessert with multiple flavors for each. We contacted them about having a small gathering after our wedding, and they were very excited and accommodating - they even created us a special bride and groom honey toast (our favorite dessert from them). The honey toast is the best dessert ever. A large piece of fluffy bread with a crunchy sugary crust on the outside. We have tried a few different flavors, and each is delicious. The ice cream is very different from American style ice cream. It is light and fluffy, perfect for a refreshing summer treat. Presentation of all the dishes are cute and creative. We will be returning for a sweet treat!
Oh my goodness. This place is so good. I was so excited because there is a lot of brick toast 🍞and Asian shaved ice like this in California but this was the first one in Kansas that I know of so I was super excited to come here. The shaved ice is amazing🤤. Oh Em Gee. It’s not like the shaved American ice that’s literally just ice. No. This is creamy, flavored, soft shaved ice. But the toast is even better. Just toasted perfectly in the ice cream 🍦that melts on it is amazing. The inside is so freaking soft I love it so much. The portions are huge. A bit pricey but this is the only one in the Midwest so I think it’s worth it for sure. 10/10 would recommend. 👌💯
Great service! Tasty toast! Great employees as well! The young woman who served us was polite and got our dessert out in good time. Thank you.
A uber cute place located in south OP. Serve the best and only shaved ice cream in town. Dont forget to try the new line up of boba tea they just launch. Truly a one of a kind experience you just cant get else where! Best items: honeytoast, original boba, blueberry cheesecake shaved ice cream (i am magnificent) 😊😊😊
Came to check this place out after seeing pictures on Instagram. Our drinks were AMAZING. The lady at the front was very nice and informative.Sadly I came for the toast dishes specifically but they were not able to make them due to machine errors.Will definitely come back if im ever in Kansas again.
Very different than most ice cream places. The strawberry limeade dessert was very good and refreshing. Not too heavy either. The price is in line with nicer ice cream places and its very unique.
Ive been to this cafe a handful of times and love everything about it! This cafe features Thai shaved iced cream (correct me if Im wrong) in flavors like Thai tea, green tea, coffee, strawberry, mixed berry, etc... but each menu item is given an I Am... (insert adjective)... name.The shaved ice creams Ive had here are not too sugary or overly sweet and it melts in your mouth pretty quickly (its airy and light in texture). The toppings are complimentary to the main shaved ice cream flavors. Plus, everything is nicely presented when the dishes come out. Id definitely recommend pairing one of the shaved ice creams with the honey toast!The Thai iced tea is on my list for one of the best in the area. I just wish the Thai iced teas were a little bigger/served with less ice because I sipped through it way too fast!The staff members were very kind and helped me walk through the menu when it was my first time. At times, Ive seen the manager check on tables to make sure everyones orders are okay.Id definitely like to see taro or honeydew added to the menu in the future. I cant wait to see this cafe grow!
This place has an amazing atmosphere and the owner of this shop is a wonderful person. The menu can look intimidating at first but dont let that sway you because no matter what you get everything there tastes amazing. The prices might look a little steep at first but alot of these items can be shared to due to amount you get. Fun place for some sweets after a date night or to take the family to.
Everything about this place was very beautiful! Employees and people were extremely nice as well Ice Cream and drinks were DELICIOUS!
This place is in the top 10 ice cream spots in America for a reason. Very unique one of a kind menu.Clean environment, cheerful/delightful staff! The owners are very involved and that is something you just dont see anymore.
Shaved ice doesnt sound exciting but dont let the description fool you. I AM serves creamy wonderfulness in a bowl! And they call their other specialty toast but it is unlike any toast I have ever experienced before. Its like a French toast souflé cake made from light, gooey, crispy bliss! YOU MUST TRY THIS.Also, the servers were awesome. We went for my husbands birthday and they made a special presentation and sang! Good job, peeps!
Wow so delicious and the aesthetic is wonderful! Everything seems so cute and well put together. The honest toast mixed with the ice cream was delicious and I wish this dessert was more common! Also, I wish the sweetness of the bread sunk a bit deeper, because sometimes it felt like eating just plain bread, but mix it with the ice cream and 👌Overall, kinda pricey, but delicious and well worth it!
Havent had a sweet sticky rice cake in a while... Well, they didnt disappoint. Top with two flavors ice cream. 👍👍👍
Came here on a whim. This place has a variety of desserts such as Thai ice cream, green tea, fruit loops, Oreo, chocolate. The portion was large which was great but it wasn’t heavy, very light. I favored the ambiance and the restrooms were very clean. I highly recommend this dessert cafe. Single, dating, married or family this place is great!
Honey Toast 🤤🤤🤤🤤. Omg so good. Wished I lived closer. Was visiting from WI. The shaved ice cream so good also. Such friendly service. Took a little long to get order on a Saturday evening, but it was all worth it!
Cant believe that OP has this amazing dessert place that I questioned myself, why didnt I knew about it before? 😳 We ordered two shaved ice creams: one was cookies and cream and the other one was coffee. Both were delish! We also tried their beverages and that too did not dissapoint. We ordered the thai espresso and the one with the ice cream tastes like affogato. The only difference is that it was served cold. Overall, love this place. IG worthy on top of that.
Thumbs up 👍. It’s good. If you’re thinking about giving this place a try, just do it. You’ll like it. It was delicious. Presentation was yummy yummy 🤤👍. Service was good. Restaurant was clean. Bathroom was in good shape. Dining in experience was a plus. Decor and furniture were interesting. Good place for small groups... and dates 😉.
Very unsatisfied with their business choices. They cant manage an internal supply chain to keep hot items in sufficient m stock. If you call, they will tell you they have that flavor, but when you arrive, they are out. Again. They cant figure out how to take phone orders.The ice cream used to be good, but all these poor choices on their part means well never be back.
We loved everything we ordered. If I could give it 6 stars I would. The coconut shaved ice was amazing!!!
Amazing place for unique desserts. They are very large, so plans on sharing with a friend or two... Or three. The honey toast is so good.
Honestly words cannot express how highly I recommend this place. Everything is immaculate. The service, the food, the drinks, even the decorations and seating. They knock it out of the park every time. You have to try this place. ❤❤❤
Love the atmosphere and the deserts!! This place is so cute so clean, perfect for a little cafe date and the staff was so friendly
What a great surprise, this place is incredible, creative deserts that taste wonderful, the Honey Toast is beyond delicious.
We ordered oreos and the honey toast with taro ice cream. It was delicious.
Came here after it was recommended by a friend. Their description did not prepare us for how amazing these deserts were. The servings are huge, probably enough for 3 or 4 people. We got the I am Joyful, which is a cinnamon toast crunch flavor and it was spot on. Super interesting texture and flavor, very light and almost flaky shaved ice cream with crumbled cinnamon toast crunch and brown sugar on top. Highly recommend.
Closest to you is the shaved berry cheesecake which was delicious, light and refreshing. The honey an almond honey toast...I cannot remember the name of it but it doesnt matter. ANY OF IT IS AMAZING. This is from now hence forth my favorite dessert. The outside has a light crisp crust. The inside, best as I can even begin to explain is a combination of angel food cake, Indian fry bread, sour dough and french toast. Without a doubt the best dessert Ive ever had. 100%!
Their desserts are the best! It taste soo good. The only concerning thing about this place is sanitation. I went here couple times and was never disappointed with their desserts, but every time I went the place looked unclean. Even in times where there was not a lot of customers, the tables were not cleaned, the floor as well. So if youre someone who looks around about sanitation, I recommend take out from there as staying in might be little unclean.
It tastes like the kind of ice cream you’d get in Candy Land or at Willy Wonka’s house 😍
Loved it will go back again soon
Amazing! First time going and I was very impressed! We got two plates but only should have ordered one! Plates are huge! Highly recommend
Perfection! Shaved Ice Cream! I am addicted.
Weve been here once before, and decided to make a special trip out tonight for my daughters birthday. We were pleasantly surprised to find the place completely empty, all to ourselves. There was no one there when we got there or during our time eating. Despite being deserted, the entire front area where we sat was pretty disgusting. There were entire cookie pieces on the floor, crumbs and sticky drops on every single surface, the pillows were plastered with globs of goo, and a piece of trim from the sofa was on the floor. Since it was not busy at all and an hour before closing, I wouldve expected the staff to have cleaned or be cleaning the lobby area - but it didnt look like it had been touched in a very long time and the staff retreated back to the kitchen after placing and delivering our order. This is such a cute place but I was extremely uncomfortable regarding the stores cleanliness, especially during these COVID times when I would expect a cleaning after each customer.
People who have never tried this type of shaved ice would oogle over it. But these are cery common Asian desert in asia for alot cheaper prices with lot more fresh ingredients on it. The pics attached are samples of the same type of shaved ice people get in asia or California wuth fresh fruits and lots of toppings. A few sprinkle of almonds and a dollup of whip cream is an insult to this delectable dessert.
We had the I Am Joyful Cinnamon Shaved Ice Cream and the I Am Special Cookies & Cream Honey Toast...DELICIOUS and enormous portions. It’s heaven in your mouth!!!
So delicious! Not heavy at all!
Awesome ice cream and nice bread
Nice setup and service. Shaved ice and boba tea are delicious.
Best desserts in KC, you have to try the honey toast
Best ice cream shop in kansas!!!!
Super cute ice cream shop. The portions were huge for the price (recommend only ordering 1 to split between two people!) The texture of the ice cream was very unexpected but delicious. Will definitely return again!
Never had this unique dessert dish before and I love it! Its a unique treat whenever Im in the KC area. Light and airy ice cream that melts in your mouth. I love the orea on and the people I brought with me loved the coffee one.
Ive never had shaved ice cream before and this was a pleasant surprise. The only thing that would have made it better was not going in January but thats on me.
Ive been to South Korea twice and fell in love with Bing Su, the traditional shaved ice dessert, there. I love the traditional flavor but I also loved trying the fun modern flavored versions! A good portion of this menu was like the modern fusion Bing Su bowls! So good!I had the coconut and... so.stinking.amazing!! So nice and light and fluffy! Asian shaved ice is a million times more superior than American shaved ice.
My friend decided to treat me to some ice cream here and I have never had anything like it. The texture and appearance looks nothing like ice cream but it tastes exactly like what is described. Not finishing it all would be a crime.Being a finicky eater i am not easily impressed but with I Am Frozen Desert Cafe... im amazed
I Am is my all time favorite dessert place to go to-- anywhere in the world! The ice cream is delicious, mouthwatering, and a large proportion. The staff is very friendly and warm. If you havent tried this kind of ice cream, please do!!
