    I tried the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea and it just didn't taste good, similar to other places that have a powdery, artificial flavor. Maybe the bingsu is better but the milk tea isn't great.

    Thai Tea Bingsu

    The best spot in Elk Grove for bingsu! First time trying the thai tea version and the boba that came on the side was a little stale. Otherwise everything else was really good. Flavor and texture was A++. The place was packed on a Friday night and we had to be quick to get a table. It gets pretty noisy! Also please be patient if you order bingsu! It seems like it takes a while to make and they seemed understaffed. Don't forget to tip!

    Small cafe serving drinks and bingsu. You order at the kiosk and wait for your name or number to be called. We ordered halo halo bingsu and 3 drinks - ube taro deluxe, guava goddess and butterfly white peach lemon sparkling. Halo halo bingsu was just okay. Shaved ice is light and milky and lychee jelly was good but the canned jack fruit wasn't a good match. The ube cream did not even have the slightest hint of ube flavor. Could do without the marshmallow fluff topping. Similar experience with the ube taro deluxe. No hint of ube but the taro was very good. Guava goddess and butterfly peach was super yummy and tasted like fancy mocktails. Highly recommend these.

    Pretty tasty and fast service. It's a small place but still has plenty of seating. Cant wait to try more of their drinks

    Bru Tea's bingsu is so good! I've tried almost all of their bingsoo flavors with my cousins, and they're a great size for sharing. Bingsoo flavor ratings: * 7/10 Strawberry Matcha * 7/10 Thai Tea * 9/10 Mango Coconut The service is always great, and it's a fun spot to share dessert with friends and family!

    Disappointed to drink a clump of matcha powder, they don't seem to whisk it through a sieve like Rang coffee does.

    This review is for the Jasmine matcha hot with foam and 100% sweetness. The tea is bitter. The matcha is not dissolved- see picture. Did not see option for changing milk. There are lots of topping options. Store looked clean with plenty of seating as I was the only customer on a weekday afternoon. Parking lot available. I ordered by the tablet even though they have a register I was not greeted by the employee. Payment was easy via credit card. The wait was not long. Hope to have better experience coming back for bingsoo.

    Bru Tea has been on my to try list for a while and I was worth it! We walked in and ordered at the kiosk. They had different teas, bingsoo, and grilled cheese. Ordering was easy and we got the Halo Halo Bingsoo. There was a little wait while it was being made. Once it came out we instantly loved how the bowl was overflowing. The snow was soft and silky, and all the toppings paired so perfectly. And then the hidden flan in the middle made it over the top. It was the ideal dessert on a hot day.

    Found a sweet escape at Bru Tea Cafe. From refreshing fruit to decadent chocolate, their bingsoo game is strong. Not a fan of shaved ice? They have a full menu of milk teas and fruit teas, too. The Lineup: * Mango Coconut Bingsoo: House-milk snow topped with fresh mango, mochi, coconut, sliced almonds, and vanilla ice cream. So light and refreshing! * Chocolate Brownie Bingsoo: A chocolate lover's dream. Loaded with Oreo crumbles, sliced almonds, brownies, chocolate sauce and ice cream. * Creme Brulee Milk Tea: The caramelized foam and brown sugar boba are the perfect pair. The space is cozy and pristine--perfect for a quick catch-up. Plus, the staff is super accommodating! You order at the kiosk, and they even have a bell for assistance. Would definitely come back!

    A really nice and cute boba shop. They offer caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks. They also offered snacks and desserts. You order at the kiosk and they will call your name when it is ready. I have tried few different drinks so far. Each drink, I had the sweetness level adjusted. I am so glad their drinks are not overly sweet. Some other boba places, their drinks are still too sweet even though you have the sweetness level adjusted lower. I tried the coconut coffee, lime orange tea, Hong Kong milk tea and banana cinnamon einspanner. All really good. The drink that stood out the most was the lime orange tea. It was really refreshing. This will be a good choice during summer. Service was nice and friendly. Looking forward to try their other drinks next time.

    Never disappointed with order, service or vibe. Their shave iced desserts are just amazing. Just enough sweetness, gorgeous to look at, and the lack of guilt having such a delicious and tasty dessert because it's shaved ice, right? It's just within walking distance, so another guilt-free reason to support this local business. Yes, encourage you to run, not walk to taste and experience what I can't fully describe.

    Stopped in Fri night for something sweet. Ordered the mango coconut bingsoo. You order from the kiosk. The bingsoos here are huge! You can definitely share them. Loved the mango & wish there was more little mochis. Staff were friendly. It wasn't busy when I arrived but shortly after the place filled up.

    Life is short... Eat more bingsoo ! This is my favorite place for bingsoo in Elk Grove! I will make the drive every time for a sweet treat. There's some seating inside and outside. The drinks I've tried have all been yummy as well. Staff are always kind and attentive. Casual after dinner hangouts or even midday catchups are great for this spot ! I will be returning over and over and bringing all my friends here. Thank you Bru Tea !

    Super cool spot. I came here with a couple of friends and had a great time. I ordered the Hong Kong hot milk tea with the mango bingsoo. To my surprise, the Hong Kong milk tea was really good. Love how they have seating areas for us to sit, chat, and enjoy. We talked for a couple of hours, the music is pretty loud but the atmosphere was really nice. This is such a good hang out spot. I'll definitely come back and bring my nieces for the bingsoo! FYI: you will need to place your order on the kiosk, so you won't see anyone at the counter until your order is ready.

Super flavor and have Vietnamese influence in all their snacks and drinks. My favorite is the taro crispy rice cake, it's sooo good and something you can't find in other cafes/restaurants. All the drinks are definitely worth it and if you need adjustments with the sweetness they have options as well. For ambiance, have plenty of seating inside and some cute tables and chairs outside.

On the kiosk the recommendation was 120% sweetness but I was skeptical and went for 50%. I'd probably retry it with 100% sweetness next time, I still finished the drink LOL but I think sweetness would've brought the tea flavor out more. My friend got the banana pudding creme matcha and enjoyed it as well. This location is a bit out of the way for me but I would give them another try whenever I'm in the area again.

Lychee Strawberry Fruit Tea: 8.3/10 My friend got this drink with 120% (extra) sweet so I was expecting that the drink would be very sweet but surprisingly it wasn't too sweet for me.

I do appreciate the message on my cup, 'don't forget to smile' It's nice to know there are still boba places to discover.

    Wushiland Boba is my new favorite spot for boba in Sac!…read more I found out about it from a recent Feed Mei Mei YouTube video, and of course I had to check it out asap. I looked up the origin and it turns out Wushiland is a spin off from the Taiwanese boba chain 50嵐 (if you speak mandarin, it says Wushi Lan). Located on Sutterville in a tiny strip mall with minimal parking right next to the Freeport area where there are plenty of good eats, some of which are my favorite places in Sac to eat at, Wushiland is in an optimal location. Bright, clean, and with a decent amount of seating, you have the option to order from kiosks or up front at the counter. The AC was blowing cold and a nice respite from the El Niño heat. The workers are friendly and drinks are made quickly. Be advised that the drinks are voluminous, especially if you're like me and ask for less ice. Coming from someone who considers Chicha San Chen their favorite Taiwanese tea chain (but alas we don't have it in Sac), the difference in quantity is huge. Obviously if you're looking for a refined style of tea chain, Wushiland doesn't compare, but still the taste of their teas shine through and there is a good variety for everyone's palate. The first time I tried their earl grey tea because I have been craving an earl grey for a while, and that was deliciously smooth. The mini boba were so fun to chew on, and I usually prefer them over the regular size. They provide a ton of boba here as well. The next time I had their yakult green tea and that was very refreshing indeed. Both times my husband went with fruit teas, and had nice remarks to say about both of his drinks. He also tried their new QQubes and their texture was very QQ (I had a sample). We will most certainly return to Wushiland, especially since it's so accessible. Prices are standard, and honestly for the amount of tea you get, it's very worth.

Next time I'll try the early gray milk tea with the new qqube (mochi) topping. I just have to be feeling brave enough for the crowds here first.
