Duomi Rice Yogurt House
7.7
A modern, minimal shop focused on rice-yogurt-style frozen treats and blended drinks, built for a clean, not-too-sweet dessert reset. The best orders keep it simple: one signature rice-yogurt cup or drink, then stop—this place works when you treat it like a focused cooldown, not a full dessert crawl.
