Thai Tea Good, Brown Sugar Milk Bad
My experience involved trying two drinks: a Thai tea and a brown sugar tea. The Thai tea was really good. However, the brown sugar tea was disappointing as it was pure milk, literally tasting like I had gotten a glass of milk from my fridge.

Inconsistent Boba and Drinks
My experience at this restaurant started off well when they first opened. The boba was on point. However, on my past few visits, the boba became mushy, and the drinks don't taste the same.
It's different every time I order a "favorite, " with no consistency in how my drink tastes. This is disappointing.

Inconsistent but often perfect tea
My experience at this restaurant has been a bit of a mixed bag. There are moments when the food is made exceptionally well, but overall, most of the times we have visited, the tea has been perfect. It's a shame the consistency isn't there for everything, but when they hit the mark, it's quite good.

Delightful 50th Birthday Treat!
This was my first time visiting, and it happened to be for my 50th birthday. While I'm not a seasoned matcha connoisseur, the drink I had was delish. I also thoroughly enjoyed their crème brûlée waffle, which was very yummy.
The atmosphere was great, and the staff were very courteous.

Too Much Ice, Not Enough Coffee
This was my first time trying this spot that is close to home. Unfortunately, they fill their cups with ice and stated that's how much ice they put in. I paid $7.
25 + tip for a small Vietnamese coffee in my cup of ICE 😂.

Yummy Tea, But No Cheesecake
My experience was a mixed bag. I enjoyed the yummy tea, which wasn't overly sweet and offered good bang for your buck, especially without add-ons. The pricing was average with add-ons.
For jelly fans, they were generous, which was nice. The store itself was beautiful with a calm atmosphere. Unfortunately, I came specifically for the cheesecake but they were out, possibly because I arrived around 6 PM.

Beautiful spot with customizable drinks
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. The place is beautiful, and the staff are chill. It’s a great place to study, hangout, or catch up with friends.
The drinks are good, and I appreciate that you can adjust sweetness and ice levels. They also offer waffles and basque cheesecakes for snacking.
