How Much：RMB 9.9

Rating：★★★★☆

Rich cream with strawberry bits, the soft texture is definitely an affordable treat and refresher in the hot summer.

How Much：RMB 10.8

Rating：★★★★☆ 

A dark surprise, the black chocolate treat carries a tinge of bitterness and at its core, an aromatic nutty flavor.

Futaba Blueberry Cheesecake Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 9

Rating：★★★★

A rich cheesecake centre and white chocolate coat, enjoy the icy cheesecake flavor with blueberry cheesecake bits.

Cookie Sand

How Much：RMB 9.9

Rating：★★

Cookie and ice-cream sandwich, the cookie sand ice-cream taste just like the Cantonese mooncake, and is best for those with a stronger palette.

Jin Hai Xue Hai Lemon Yogurt Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 5

Rating：★★★★★

The refreshing light blue coating gives way to a rich lemon flavored yogurt filling, that hits it at the right spot.

Jin Hai Xue Hai Original Dubai-Styled Yogurt Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 6

Rating：★★★★

Rich and creamy with a hint of sweetness, the only thing lacking is the Dubai flavor in this sweet treat.

Meiji White Chocolate Strawberry Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 12.8

Rating：★★★★

The crispy white chocolate exterior coats the sour and sweet strawberry filling, that is both milky and fruity.

Magnum Salted Caramel Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 10

Rating：★★★☆

Gold and shiny, the double layered chocolate gives way to a salted caramel ice-cream. Our only grievance with this dessert is the lackluster and slightly brand salted caramel flavor.

Mengniu Dairy Original Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 6

Rating：★★★☆

Rich with a slightly sour and sweet taste, Mengniu Ice-cream used to be known as “little angel” and was many’s childhood snack growing up.

German Style Pure Taste Milk Ice-Cream

How Much: RMB 6

Rating: ★★★

Setting our hopes up with the pristine white exterior, the dessert disappoints with its average flavors and taste.

German Style Pure Taste Strawberry  Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 6

Rating：★★★

Ice-cream mixed with oreo, the sweet treat has a rich and soft texture but falls slightly flat when it comes to flavor.

Yili Qiao Le Zi Qi Peppermint Flavor Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 8.5

Rating：★★

Adopting summer’s peppermint blue color, the peppermint ice-cream saw a disbalance in flavors, with an overly rich chocolate flavor and slightly sweet peppermint one.

Parm Chocolate Coated Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 17.8

Rating：★★★★

The rich chocolate coat and velvety smooth ice-cream filling makes up for the slightly pricier price tag.

Fruttare Mango Smoothies Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 10.8

Rating：★★★★

The ice-cream has a rich milky mango flavor with fruit pulps, almost like a finer and better version of sorbet.

Colladon Kiwi Sorbet

How Much：RMB 15

Rating：★★★

Not as sweet as the berry flavored one, the kiwi sorbet ice-cream has a slightly sour and refreshing texture.

Yili Ice-Cream Sandwich

How Much：RMB 7

Rating：★★★

Despite the unique sesame flavor, the dessert fell flat in the slightly hard texture and lack of unity in the dessert’s components. For greater texture, we recommend letting the ice-cream melt for awhile before consuming it.

Yili Zhen Xi Tiramisu Flavor Ice-Cream

How Much：RMB 10.8

Rating：★★☆

The tiramisu ice-cream carries a slight coffee and liqueur flavor, just like the dessert itself.

Colladon Berry Party Ice-Cream

A blast from the past, the lotus seed glutinous ice-cream taste exactly like the dessert and includes some lotus seed bits to enhance the dessert’s texture.

Tasting exactly like frozen yogurt, expect a soft texture with a slightly sweet and sour taste.

Walls Fruity Ice-Cream (Orange and Strawberry Flavor)

How Much: RMB 4

Rating: ★★★

Walls Fruity Ice-Cream (Raspberry and Mango Flavor)

Using summer colors, the beautiful red to orange gradient colored ice-creams are complimented with a strong fruity aroma. The only downside is the dessert’s overly sweet taste.

Yili Qiaole Zi Qi Vanilla Ice-Cream

How Much: RMB 7.5

Rating: ★★★

Following the magnum style, each ice-cream comes with a thick coat of chocolate, which might have overpowered the flavors of the ice-cream.

Zero Degree Penguin Black Chocolate Ice-Cream

How Much: RMB 9

Rating：★★☆

Slightly bitter, this ice-cream reminds us of the Bai Le Bao Lion ice-cream.

TACT Passionfruit Chocolate Ice-Cream

How Much: RMB 15

Rating：★☆

On first look, the green filling fools many into thinking it’s matcha flavored instead of passionfruit. The passionfruit chocolate ice-cream falls flat and is easily forgettable.

Rating: ★

Despite its refreshing taste, this one falls to the bottom of our list with its small serving and boring appearance.

Tianmu Blueberry Yogurt Ice-Cream

How Much: RMB 4

Rating: ★★★☆

Just the right amount of chocolate and sweetness, the ice-cream is filled with rich cream and a frozen fruit center.

Zhen PIng Nai Pa

How Much: RMB 4

Rating: ★★★

A mini chocolate stick, the chocolate here steals the show and may be a tad overpowering for some.

Dong Bei Da Ban Precious Wild Blueberries

Rating: ★★

With a sugary blueberry filling, we find the ice-cream a tad too rich and milky, and tasting slightly bland after a few bites.
