A new spot for delicious soft serve is opening in time for summer.
Laguna Soft Serve & Taiyaki is a concept to serve Japanese street food desserts very soon. An address has not yet been released, but construction is underway. Co-owner Muhannad Hamdan told What Now Detroit the team is hoping to debut the new spot in about one-to-two months.
“Taiyaki is a popular Japanese street food consisting of a waffle-like cake batter that is filled with a sweet red bean paste (anko) and baked in a fish-shaped mold, with modern variations including sweet potato, chocolate, and ice cream fillings,” says the description on their Facebook page.
Another delicious sweet that will be served is a cheese-filled taiyaki. A full menu hasn’t been revealed, but fruit flavors like strawberry and matcha have been teased on social media. Taiyaki is growing in markets around the U.S., and can be found at shops in metro Detroit including Mochinut in Troy.
A recent post from the owners revealed construction is still in the early stages, and the order area is still being installed. From the post, they also tease that franchising may be a possibility in the future.
What Now Detroit has reached out to the owners for further comment. For more updates on Laguna Soft Serve & Taiyaki, visit their Facebook or Instagram pages.
