    Peach Milkshake

    First time try this milkshake which it's my favorite fruit peach during perfect weather. Omg it's so good I like it very much. Next time I will go there again for trying different one.

    Chocolate mousse cup $5 something

    Yumyumyum. Happened to stumble upon this bakery after my toddler's dental visit and was pleasantly surprised by the selection available. The 2nd time I stopped by a bit earlier and there were even more options. Their buns are so fluffy and soft. Some more flavorful than others. My favorite so far is a mochi chocolate bun (there was a 3rd ingredient but I forgot what it was. Might've been cranberry). The creativity and the pricing is very reminiscent of Sunmerry, which is another one of my favorite Asian bakeries. I would have to say the chocolate mousse cup was meh. Also happens to be the only photo I have of this place lol. Tasted like whipped cream with some cocoa powder or very minimal melted chocolate added to it. Cute though. Noticed that the little plastic plant pot is from Restaurantware and their products are good quality (and pricey), which most likely explains the $5 something price tag. I wouldn't want to try the cakes based on this dessert but the buns are definitely their specialty.

    Some of their message they sent out were  not name mentioned but I'm pretty sure is their own employees defending their store.

    I am so disappointed at their service! My husband and I are log time customers and we always pre-order their special design cake but today I am so disappointed. Today is my niece's 1st birthday so my sister in law pre-ordered a cake with specific design and filling. And today around noon she texted to confirm for a 3PM/4Pm pick up. My brother in law went to the store. Guess what happened!!!! They forgot their order. Texted my sister in law that they can prepare it in 20 minutes. Like we don't WC at a cake that is crappy fast designed and will end up ugly because it was rushed. So they said they will deliver I n20 minutes. After 20-30 minutes they told my sister in law they don't have the pink horse/unicorn, they only have some ugly looking horse. So they cancelled the entire order. The reps at the store were so rude saying they didn't confirm earlier like my sister pre-ordered this cake on Monday and this afternoon confirmed the time for pick up and they said yes. Why did you not say you forgot the order then. My brother in law posted about their irresponsibility and received rudeness from them saying they don't want this type of customers! Like you were the one who forgot the order and couldn't deliver the item not us how can you blame the customers?! Everyone don't come here go else where!!!! They have bad customer service and blame customers within they are the ones who messed up!!!

    Place is big with fancy table seating setups, aside from that, it's just a typical Asian bakery/Boba drinks. Cakes and buns are expensive: a hotdog bun cost $3 bucks, just because it has a cute teddy bear cutout. Cakes are $6 per slice (comes in a Peppa Pig box), and drinks are $4 and up. Got the Purple Yam Milk tea drink, that tasted bland and left nothing to boast about. Strangely enough there is a Boba shop right across the street serving the same food items. This neighborhood craves and likes aestheticiclly pleasing bakery/drink shop; hope there's room to improve

    New bakery opened during a pandemic -- bad timing but I'm happy for more bakery options. I haven't been inside but from pictures, it looks very chic. This bakery opened just in time for my grandma's birthday celebration, because we were looking for a cake. I was impressed with their cake selection, mostly the way they decorate it. Called them the day before to place an order. There might be a language barrier if you do not speak Chinese (mandarin, to be specific). Staff's English is very limited. Anyways, there's many cake flavors to choose from. We ordered a black sesame cake -- costed about $60 for an 8inch. It was beautifully decorated. The cake tasted great. It wasn't too sweet (good for asian families), cream was very light (like the Paris Baguette chiffon cake cream), and the cake was very moist. I would order from here again; would love to try their other flavors.

    A very cute boba shop + bakery hybrid with wifi access. I work remotely in this shop from time to time, great environment to catch up with friends too.

    The shop is very nice and clean, has a lot of creative buns, and is very delicious we also ordered taro milk tea and class milk tea, taro milk tea is made from real taro.

    Came last minute to pick up a birthday cake. They had about 6-7 cakes on display around noon time. We picked out a strawberry fresh cream cake with chocolate drizzled on the outside which was 56$. Other cakes with simpler designs were 46$. The cake itself tasted pretty good. Cream is very light and unsweetened. It didn't have a WOW factor on the first bite but I would probably come back again to try another cake. Their cake is actually better than Paris Baguette and Tous Les Jours in my opinion. Took a star away because it is on the pricier side. The bakery looks very clean and sanitary.

    Super Fruit tea  Rose croissant Teddy bear bread

    With covid I struggled finding cafes to study in. Barley time is a fairly new place that opened in the area. Free wifi available. It's a nice well lit environment with lots of sunlight. Music is a bit loud but I guess it's okay since I use headphones. They take card but has a min for $10 purchases. Drink selection could be more diverse but their cakes look cool. I've tried their tiramisu, nothing special but still a good tasting tiramisu. you can order them custom if you fancy their many options. Bread selection gets more limited after 5pm ish. Their loaf bread is tasty and moist. I tried the green tea loaf and went back again to get it a few times. You can really taste the green tea, not too sweet or bitter.

    Honestly think their breads are very creative and taste great. High quality and very fresh. Had a lot of fun picking out different breads to eat and try. Will say that it does get expensive though.

    I just tumbled into this super cute bakery this morning while I was taking my morning walk. It was totally unexpectedly stunningly cool coffee break time experience during this COVID-19 pandemics when everything is so gloomy & doomsday like ... love this place. Their interior is so fashionably cool and whole set up is so sweet & cool. Obviously, their bakery stuff are good, too and their staff are looking so sweet and friendly. Made me feel like I'm in SoHo where I'm missing so much ...

    Tiramisu $36 with tax

Busy but fairly…read moreclean, lots of foot traffic, people come and go, but otherwise a great spot to grab a drink or a bite with friends. There's a lot of bubble tea competition in the area so it's nice to see them thriving. My usual rotation is: Wonder Grape - light and refreshing, my most ordered drink Hojicha Latte - my caffeine pick when I want that roasted flavor Coco Mango - more of a dessert drink, reminds me of mango sai mai lo Mochi O Sesame - dessert like, creamy and satisfying Pomegranate Burst - my no caffeine antioxidant pink drink during that time Persimmon series - my actual favorite but it only shows up during the fall season They also have snacks like popcorn chicken, crispy chicken burgers, and eggy waffles. One thing though, this location doesn't seem to carry the cauliflower that I've had and liked from other Jooy spots. I still think their older signature drinks are the most reliable. Some of the newer series feel a little rushed. I tried the pear series and the pear tasted unripe while the pomelo was a lot which made the drink come out pretty bitter. The guava series was also too light when I tried it, almost like guava tinted tea.

    My journey to try every tea spot lead me to a new location once again…read more Came in and noticed a persimmon drink, I knew I had to try it! (One of my favorite fruits.) it's a nice shop that has a few seats to sit and sip. The drink came out very quickly as well. The drink itself was fresh and refreshing, had bits and pieces of persimmons which enhanced the taste. Highly Recommend trying this flavor

Almost all other tea shops in this neighborhood close pretty early so that definitely sets this establishment apart. The milk tea was made well, just the appropriate amount of sweetness. I will say the Boba was slightly over cooked and on the gummier, softer side. The tea flavor selection is a little bit limited I feel, but not entirely a dealbreaker. They offer some savory snacks as well which I would be curious to try next time. Overall, solid spot for some authentic milk tea.

My sister and I have passed by this place multiple times in the past, though we never stopped by to try any of their drinks. This past Saturday, my sister wanted to try someplace new, so we decided to go to Upwind. When we walked in, there were only two staff: a tea-rista/cashier and a tea-rista in training. Both were very patient as we looked through the menu. My sister ended up ordering the kumquat lemon green tea with no sugar, and I really liked how the tea-rista/cashier advised that she get it with 30% sugar as it may be too sour for her taste. My sister reassured her that she wanted it with no sugar, and then the tea-rista in training proceeded to make her drink. The kumquat lemon green tea was tart like my sister preferred, the service was quick, and the staff were very nice. Overall, pleasant experience. Note: They do have another claimed Yelp business page (Up Wind Milk Tea Bar instead of Upwind Milk Tea Bar), which has other existing reviews and photos. Sadly, most of their reviews are filtered by Yelp. https://www.yelp.com/biz/up-wind-milk-tea-bar-brooklyn
