PrintSugar Rush: Black Sesame Frappe at Cafe Zaiya
The space that formerly held Beard Papa's inside Cafe Zaiya has been replaced with a tea and coffee station of sorts. A varied drinks menu offers everything from green tea lattes to the black sesame frappes, pictured above. Think of the frappe as a milkshake meets Starbucks Frappuccino with a generous helping of ground black sesame paste. Make sure to keep stirring the drink as the black sesame quickly settles to the bottom. Whipped cream is optional, but why ever refuse cream? Fantastic on a sunny day. We'll miss closing off each Zaiya visit with a cream puff, but this drink station isn't so shoddy of a replacement. I'll be back!

I had the black sesame ice cream. Good stuff, tastes slightly peanut buttery for anyone that's never tried it before...

A lot of Chinese bakeries serve this drink as well, and also red beans, mango, green tea...

Do the Black Sesame Frappe have a regular ice cream base along with the sesame paste? Looks good thanks for the preview.
