Fluffy, snow-soft ice piled with real mango cubes and a milk drizzle on top - and even in the single-serving cup size, it was seriously worth it. We also tried the green tea bingsu, topped with matcha powder and mochi, which was solid but the mango stole the spotlight for me. Pro tip: the single size is pretty generous on its own, so unless you're trying to sample a few flavors, one cup does the job. We split two just to try different options and it worked out great for that! Parking along the street was hit or miss, but we went pretty late at night so it wasn't too bad. Sweet, refreshing, and exactly what a summer night calls for - will def be back to try more flavors, like the melon or strawberry!

The product is consistent and perfect every time. Portions are pretty big. Even the single serve can be shared between 2 people. Please look up the menu before arriving. Usually to order you walk in all the way to the kiosk and order from there. If the line is long there's also a QR code on the right side as you enter so you can order from your phone as well. The only thing that's been a consistent issue is there's nowhere to sit. Seating is available inside and there's even a few tables outside but this place is so popular that all the seats are always taken. Be prepared to take your desserts to go. You can walk up to the pick up area and ask for lids.

Their Peach Oolong and Passionfruit black tea with their jellies. They don't do the typical coconut based small pieces of jelly, instead opting for house made with jelly. The price of these drinks is super reasonable, the tea quality great, and the jellies refreshing and delicious. 2. On the more premium side price wise, the taro milk tea here is nonetheless worth it. They use 100% real taro. No syrup. No powder. On top of that, even compared to other places which use real taro, this is the best iteration of the drink I've had. Subtly earthy and only slightly sweet, creamy, even with oat milk. An incredible drink. The vibe is relaxing and nice. Service is solid to great, depending on who is working. The owner is very kind!!! Seating is pleasant. Parking is the only issue since the city metered everything, but if you're grabbing a going, try the Total Wines or Target lot. You'll be fine. The meters are also quite cheap.

I like the location in the center of old town. But it's a little hard to find parking and it's very easy to get a parking ticket if you're over the limit just a few minutes. Also their front patio courtyard is very unkempt & depressing with dry scrappy dirt and dying plants. The outdoor seating could be so nice if they invested in a little landscaping and maintained the planters around the patio. Just a suggestion!

I originally stopped by to pick up their famous cinnamon roll, which made the lists for top 10 cinnamon rolls in LA County. Unfortunately, they didn't have any cinnamon rolls the two times I stopped by. (I think it had something to do with how their AC is currently out and awaiting repairs). Not wanting to leave empty handed, I decided to get a few slices of cake instead. And boy am I glad I did! So far I've tried their red velvet cake, vanilla cake with strawberry frosting, and a seasonal strawberry cake. The cakes were all rich and on the denser side, and were a cross between moist and crumbly. Each cake also paired exceptionally well with the velvety thick frosting. So the backup plan was a rousing success, as all three cake slices were fabulously indulgent and the perfect treat. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

We ordered two soft serve cones ($5 each), a lemon and strawberry. These are made by a machine with syrup / gel to add flavor automatically. The ice cream was serviceable but unremarkable, with a very synthetic flavor to it. Service was friendly, standard, and the inside clean but fairly bare. No seating yet there was some space for it. A couple tables inside and out would go a long way. Prices reasonable for the middling quality. I won't down vote Red Peach too much since their specialty is cakes but the ice cream option here struck me as tacked on and very generic. Nothing homemade here sadly. I defer to other reviewers for the cake but simply can't recommend the soft serve. Food: 3/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 4.5/5

We were done about an hour before our reservation time. We hoped to be accommodated earlier but saw the long line and crowd waiting as we drove by. We decided to run a couple small errands instead. We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation. It was still busy, but there were not as many people waiting. The hostess was so warm and welcoming. She let us know that the customers at our designated table were almost done and that they will have it ready in just a few minutes. Unfortunately, those customers decided to linger much longer. Thirty minutes later, they were still hanging around. We fully understood that this was not by any fault of the restaurant. We continued to wait patiently. The hostess was very apologetic and was trying to work out a solution which led to the Floor Manager (Karla) getting involved. We were eventually seated at another table, with the option to move should the other table become available. Karla then took the time to apologize for the wait and unfortunate first impression. As we got started with drinks and a pastry for the daughter, the other table opened. The hostess immediately came to move us. It all went smoothly from there. Table service was casual and attentive. We started with the Chocolate Almond Croissant and the Baguette & Bordier Butter. The daughter tried the Iced Matcha Latte. For our entrées -- Shakshuka, Patty Melt and Brioche Eggs Benedict (with salmon). I was eager to try the Potato Gravlax, but it was sold out. :( Everything was so, so delicious! Fresh and flavorful. Lovely presentations. Very good portions. As we were finishing, Karla came to our table again to express her gratitude for our patience and understanding. She gave me her business card with an offer to contact her directly should we need another reservation. On our way out, I stopped to compliment the sweet young hostess for a job well done. Wonderful experience. Beautiful decor. I would give Oh La La 10 stars if I could! We will most certainly be back!

I asked a manager and he, very unenthusiastically, said we could get someone to do that. Another 5 minutes. At least, later no one cleaning the tables. So I asked the manager again and he pointed to a guy finally leaving to clean the tables. The guy went to the wrong tables so I had to again ask him to come clean out tables. Why is it so difficult to get good service in this country? I travel around the world and this country has the worst service of all! Nothing but lazy people.

That can't be wise, especially considering how much heat enters via those windows during the summer. That aside, I was able to try their Nutella Croissant.

They also have fruit-shaped pastries that are going viral online, but I decided to skip on those for now. Everything looked fresh and the croissant was absolutely fresh, delicious and totally worth the price of admission.
