Staff is also very friendly…read more There are a variety of drink options, pastries (sweet and savory), and even some grab and go lunch items available. They also sell some very cute greeting cards, earrings, magnets, etc. We ordered two drinks (Ube Espresso, Crème Brûlée latte), a flower pot mini cake (chocolate cake with raspberry filling in a decorative flower pot), a crème brûlée donut, and a spinach puff. The desserts were good, with the flower pot mini cake being our favorite. The chocolate cake was moist and the raspberry filling was balanced. We didn't love the flower frosting on top, but it was very pretty. The donut was very unique and filled to the brim with a fluffy cream - though we both thought it could've had a bit more flavor. The dough was perfect - soft and pillowy. The crème brûlée top made for a fun eating experience as the thin hard sugar had a satisfying crunch. The spinach puff was also delicious. Flaky pastry and cheesy filling - very comforting. The stars of the show were the drinks. The coffee was superb - balanced, smooth, and rich in flavor. While I didn't find the ube flavor to stand out, the ube espresso drink was still one of my favorite coffee drinks I've had. The Crème Brûlée latte was my friend's favorite - it was the perfect dessert drink. It even had the sugar crust on top. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

I'm not a bubble tea fan, so I can't speak to that, but I do quite enjoy their ramen bowls and have had them on multiple occasions. The standout for me is the miso base with chicken. The broth is piping hot, the green onion flavor is awesome, and it's a chock full of ingredients. The interior is unique with big, open windows and some funky booths. My main complaint here is that service tends to be a bit slow. I'd recommend ordering ahead of time and then eating there once you pick it up or just doing take out. Ordering through the counter can take awhile, even if it's quiet in there. Happy to continue to support them!

Okay, so I'm totally going against the grain here as I found nothing exceptional or overly exciting…read moreabout this restaurant. My son found it and wanted to give it a try, so we did. The place was totally empty when we walked in and outside of 1 Uber Eats order we were it 4:30 PN. But, it still took 15 minutes for two bowls of ramen and one rice bowl to be ready. Our meals were good but not worth the drive from Marcellus. I've had worse and I've had better bowls of ramen. The stock was good but it was lacking any real depth of flavor and seemed to be singular in tone and lacked any real silky rich mouth feel. Nothing that would warrant a wave off, but nothing significant enough for a book mark. We all like what we like, but for me this was an average experience.

I chose the classic Thai milk tea with boba, and a cheese foam topping and went with their big boy! The line was a little long, but there was one person on the floor, but she pushed through and got everyone their drinks and she was very kind. Located in the mall, it is a small beverage shop, cutesy but not a lot of room for large groups.

Grabbed my favorite tea, Honeydew Iced tea with watermelon and also tried out thier new dim sum. The barbeque pork rice rolls were delicious... but I admit I have gotten those before. As always the owner is so sweet and stopped to check on how we liked everything, and welcomed us to the new location. I wanted to make sure to share out since they have been working on opening for awhile and they are certainly back better than ever.

I needed something quick and filling and found hi tea just searching for what was still open. Mobile ordered it and walked right over. They had just finished my drink and were finishing up the food. Very quick turn around which was great probably 15 minutes. The aesthetic of the store is adorable powder pink seating and lots of stuffed animals. The employees are super nice and friendly too. My milk tea was delicious and the sweet treat I needed, loved the cold foam they put on it and I got to decide the sugar level which I chose 50% and that was still very sweet. The rice noodles were delicious, perfect chewy consistency and great flavor. There was lots of shrimp and pork, I gave half to my boyfriend. Highly recommend if you're looking for something quick and easy but want something different from the usual chain.

It's always a great place for a more affordable option, so sometimes I meet with friends here as well. The one thing I have been so sad to see go is they used to have the absolute best Pandan Bubble Tea. I couldn't find this flavor anywhere else--and now not even here. :( For now for my bubble tea fix I go for a taro. The consistency is always creamy, light, sweet and the tapioca has a good flavor. It is important to note this tea has a lot of sugar, and is more of a dessert than something to have often. The service here is always kind, interior is clean. Easy parking.

Ultimately I have decided that this particular location is only okay, with the service being anywhere from fast to really slow. The last order took 45minutes for us to get 3 bubble teas. Prior to that I had gone and had plastic pieces in my drink. It's rather pricey for powdered teas as well. The tapioca is a good texture. There are a few options for no sugar added teas. The interior is cutely decorated. The collab itself was really cute and fun.

Both were delicious. Perfectly crispy outside (the potato came with a super spicy dipping sauce), and soft and melty inside. Honestly I didn't know how the cheese would hold up on the car trip, but it was still warm, had pull and was super satisfying all around. The Hot Cheetos version was so tangy and really added a zest and kick. Technically I think these menu items were from Mochinuts which is next door/attached, but I was able to order from both simultaneously through the delivery platform. I also got a gingerbread milk tea, which was super sugary and tasty. I would definitely swing in here if I was downtown and strolling through Armory Square!
