No gimmicks, no drama, just top-tier boba and good vibes. If you ever wanted to sip bubble tea while pretending you're in an anime café, this is the spot!! Best day everrr!!

I came across this boba shop while looking for boba cafes nearby on Google Maps, and it looked…read morerelatively new, so I wanted to check it out. My fiancé and I ordered a thai milk tea with boba and a mango smoothie with boba. The drinks only come in one cup size, which is pretty large. The thai tea was good, but the mango smoothie was a bit icy and overly sweet. Of note, I asked for 50% sweetness on the thai tea, and my fiancé asked for 75% sweetness on the mango smoothie. The sweetness level on the thai tea tasted just right at 50%, so I can't imagine what it would've been at 100%. However, the mango smoothie was definitely way too sweet. We both liked the boba pearls. They were nice and chewy. Something to note: they do not sell just regular milk tea here, which I found interesting. They sell a milk tea latte* which the cashier explained is like your basic milk tea mixed with coffee. I would've liked to see a basic milk tea. Additionally, their taro milk tea is made from powder, which is pretty common. (Looking for a place that uses real taro though!) With regards to affordability, the drinks seemed a bit overpriced for what you get. They were around $5.50/drink and then an additional cost for boba (or other toppings). Finally, the inside was empty and quiet when we came, and there were several tables to sit at. The boba cafe looked pretty clean, and it is connected to Ohsio Sushi next door.

Their tapioca pearls are consistently good. They also have really good flavor combinations and the drinks are made with care.

When I brought it back, the man working behind the counter was very kind and he said he will change it for me and the reason the drink is probably so sweet is because almond milk is already sweetened. He then said the reason he gave me brown sugar Boba is because the regular tapioca pearls were not done cooking. I'm not sure why he didn't tell me this before he gave me the drink. Either way he remade the drink and used regular milk powder, but this still tasted nothing like Taro And the drink was brown in color . The tapioca balls are very low quality also. Taro is supposed to be PURPLE

On social media, people are gushing over mochi donuts. It's only sparked my curiosity, and I'm…read morethrilled I found one near me. It's a charming tiny donut bakery with essential design. There is plenty of seating for you to enjoy your sweets. Apart from mochi donuts, they also provide Korean-style corn dogs and captivating beverages. I chose the strawberry mochi donut because it was the only flavor I liked. The donuts have an unusual form, like a beaded bracelet. The exterior is brittle, and the texture is quite chewy. I got the mango all the way with a tapioca add-on to accompany my donut. I'd never had a mango smoothie served in this manner before. It's rich and creamy, and I presume they incorporate it with condensed milk to achieve this thick texture. Mochi donuts are my favorite, even more so than conventional donuts. Because of the texture, I'll definitely get a dozen the next time I visit.

I wanted to try pudding on my tea (they were sold out) so I will have to come back and try it along with some other mochi donuts. Lots of interesting flavors and add-on options!
