Taking over the former Snow White Cafe at 3400 S. Jones Blvd., close to Chada Thai & Wine, the interior features custom-made tables and plenty of props for diners to hold while posing for social media photographs.

Promising a May debut and already testing its wares on invited guests, the future menu is expected to include soft ice cream, parfaits, lattes, frappes, “kokuto” or brown sugar gelatin creations and hot matcha drinks.

A yet to be revealed Henderson location is being promoted as opening before the end of the year.
