Babatang is run by a sweet older Chinese man and is located across from Richmond Costco. He welcomed us with utmost hospitality knowing we are from California. We ordered the Mango Lovers ($18) and received the Classic ($13) as a free gift for traveling far to visit his shop. It was so sweet of him, and just as delicious eating the pudding. The mangoes were ripe and coconut flavor was fresh. Most stores use powdered artificial coconut mix, but this was using authentic Thai coconut. The treats are also aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Got #1 mango lover and the mango was fresh and delicious...some sago and jelly, a few pieces of taro, then coconut pudding and cream below. Very tasty...more coconut flavor than some other places we've been. Another person in our group got the taro one and said some bits were harder so didn't enjoy as much as I liked mine..but agreed strong fresh coconut flavor

We were in need of something sweet after our shopping trips. We found Babatang on Yelp (Of course~ Duh~ ). All the reviews were positive, but they were written by only three Yelpers. We took a leap of faith in those Yelpers and headed our way to Babatang. Appeared tiny from the outside and was difficult to locate at first glance. Inside had an outdated decor but was way spacious than our assumption. An older gentleman who appeared to be the shop owner made all the drinks and desserts, while a lady who might be his wife was sitting on a big sofa behind the counter, watching him. We found it cute and funny. It took about 5 minutes or more to make each item. But nothing mentioned above mattered when every single food and drink made us sing nom nom nom~ Coconut drinks had a rich coconut taste, and wheelcakes were perfect to hold in hands and then in tummy on a cold, crisp winter day. We even ordered extra wheelcakes to go because its creamy golden custard, egged in steamy hot sponge cake, was so addictive. Don't let Babatang's looks fool you. It can surprise you with amazing flavour-bomb foods if you walk into the cafe with an open mind and appetite for discovery!

This is a hidden gem! Literally, it's hidden behind Costco. I was walking by Costco and was intrigued. I wanted to see what they had. I ordered the Japanese hot dog. The hot dog bun was crunchy and the dog was still hot. I wanted to order it with egg. Maybe next time. I also ordered the Mango Madness drink with coconut. That was a cool and refreshing drink on a hot day. I hope you give Babatang a try too. I'm glad I did.

Quiet and a good spot to study and do some work. There are plenty of coconut products! Server was really nice. Food is served from scratch.

Came for a late-night dessert They have a policy where you…read morehave to order at least the number of dishes as the people seated inside but it can be to go if needed for some of the items. The dining space is small but the decoration inside makes you feel like you transported to a different country. Marshmallow Thick Toast 4/5 The toast was about an inch thick, well toasted outside with a pillowy soft center. There's some melted chocolate on the bottom that added to the smores vibe. The marshmallows on top weren't very thick, so it melted to an even layer with perfect browning. The toast was cut into 9 pieces so it can be shared but given the portion I think 1-2 people would be fitting for this dessert. We weren't too hungry, so we shared amongst 4. Jasmine Tea Jelly 4/5 I really liked how fragrant the jelly was and that the jelly was a softer jelly that reminds you of Aiyu jelly. The after taste was a bit bitter but I feel like that tells me it was brewed and made and not just bought to serve. It's served with a splash of half and half I believe. To-Go I wanted to try and compare all the tea flavored jellies they had, Jasmine, Oolong and Earl Grey Tea Jelly. Packaged with small packets of the half and half to add later. The best was OOLONG 5/5- it had a slight roasted tea flavor that was refreshing and comforting at the same time. What you would want from a milk tea. Second best was Jasmine - fragrant and less bitter than the one I had in restaurant, typical jasmine flavor that's lightly floral and not too heavy Earl Grey 3/5 - it was good if you like earl grey like me, but it has an intensely strong fragrance and flavor that might be off-putting if you're not used to the taste. It was by far the strongest floral taste and smell of the three. I'd definitely be back to get these to go, they carry well and you can cross borders with them :)

Finding authentic Taiwanese food in a city like Richmond, which is already full of amazing dining…read moreoptions, is not easy--but this place is truly a hidden gem! We stopped by at lunchtime at first, but they weren't open yet. Since we really wanted to try it, we called again in the evening to confirm their hours before heading back--and we're so glad we did. The service was excellent from start to finish. They were incredibly patient and took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food did not disappoint. All the Taiwanese snacks we tried were delicious and full of authentic flavors. Our absolute favorite was the shaved ice--it was refreshing, perfectly textured, and just amazing! Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for genuine Taiwanese food and warm, attentive service. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Tsujiri is one is my favorite places to grab a Matcha Yogurt Frap. The matcha and the sweetness…read morethey add is just the right combo for me. Recently I also came to try their high tea. It was fun to eat on the tatami mats in the back - we got the whole space to ourselves since we came on a weekday. Note that the sets come in 2 and whatever tea you choose is for both people. The set was unique and very filling - it came with a mini unagi rice bowl, matcha yogurt with berries, sweet corn custard, 2xnigiri, and hojicha cake, etc. Their menu changes every few months though so best to check their Instagram to see what's new. Warning: Parking on the lot is 1.5hrs only for the whole day and they are strict and will ticket you - this includes if you are running errands earlier in the day in the same lot and had left and returned. Safer to park in the farther lot for 3hrs of free parking.

Came here on a rainy day and it was the perfect place to enjoy a quiet, cozy afternoon. Tsujiri has…read moresuch a calming atmosphere. The matcha drinks and desserts were beautifully presented and tasted rich and authentic, with that deep, fragrant matcha flavor that's never too sweet. We have today: Hojicha shaved ice, replaced with matcha ice cream. This location in Richmond had ran out of Hojicha ice cream for a long time. We asked every time when they will have hojicha ice cream back and staff doesn't know either. Hojicha Chestnut Shortcake, Cake is soft and fluffy, and very too sweet. It is always my favorite. This time i gave a 4 stars is because they discontinue serving Onigiri ( rice ball) and savory item. That's too bad! I love their Onigiri and ramen! Staff said the one inside the open road Toyota still has savory item. Maybe next time I will try that location
