🍜 Make-Your-Own-Ramen Cafe

📍 @kramyuncafe
1821 S Lakeline Blvd STE 102, Cedar Park, TX

🍜Do your kids love ramen as much as mine do? This charming little store/cafe has a wall of ramen packets you can try! You grab the noodles you want and some toppings and make it all yourself.

🔥 Pro tip if you have a kid who is sensitive to spice, even the mild flavor ramen could be too spicy. Only add half of the flavor packet to make it less spicy!

📸 Don’t forget to take cute pictures at the Photo Booth in the back and hang a copy on the wall! ✌️
