Hidden behind a plain storefront, Nobibi is a welcome surprise of pastel pinks and fragrances, with an experimental fusion that entrances customers the moment they step in.
While Nobibi serves a variety of drinks and desserts, the Brown Sugar Bobo for $5.50 is its signature treat. The dessert consists of a milk-flavored soft serve with boba, brown sugar and a drizzle of caramel. The rich ice cream is bound to leave an impact on first time tasters. The sweetness of the brown sugar and the salty caramel complement the savory soft serve, creating a full flavor profile.
While the Brown Sugar Bobo is an enjoyable eat, it isn’t a light snack by any means. It can be filling to some despite its small serving size, in part due to its rich, pure milk flavor. The saltiness of the caramel drizzle on top may surprise customers who expect pure sweetness, but it balances out the sweeter elements.
Nobibi fuses the delights of soft serve with boba, taking the Brown Sugar Bobo to a new level of taste. The boba is sweet and chewy, which adds a different texture from regular soft serve.
Another sweet delight is the Dream Cloud for $9.99, a cloud of cotton candy with strawberry sprinkles, Oreos and corn flakes on top of soft serve. This dessert is much less filling than the Brown Sugar Bobo, making it a quick yet satisfactory experience.
Notable drinks from Nobibi’s menu are the Sakura Blossom for $4.99 and the Pink Unicorn for $5.25. With a price range of $4.50 to $9.99, these treats are cost-friendly for many high school students. Additionally, checking into Nobibi’s page on Yelp allows customers to buy one item and get one free.
In addition to tasty and affordable treats, Nobibi also has a memorable aesthetic. Cotton clouds, floral arrangements and balloons decorate the white walls, providing bursts of bright colors to create a soft atmosphere. The place has its fair share of Instagram-bait, with quotes in neon lights adding to the aesthetic.
Nobibi also brings its visual aesthetic into its dishes. The provided spoons turn from clear to pink when they touch the ice cream, complementing the store’s cohesive color scheme.
Nobibi is a great place to stop by with friends for a pleasant experience. From its relaxing atmosphere and affordability to its creative fusion foods, it provides soft serve taken to new heights and beautiful pictures for their social media feeds.
