This hidden gem off Federal is truly one of a kind and has my mouth watering at the thought! All drinks are made with sugar cane, and the variety of options are truly endless. The menu offers fun pairings and creative concoctions with the ability to create your own masterpiece! We settled on the Raspberry Mojito (FYI - all options are alcohol free!!) and the Strawberry Peach drink! Both were gorgeous in color, massive and so delicious! The mojito was by far the best mocktail I've ever had and I crave it often! We spent around $20 for both drinks, but for the quality and quantity, it was well worth it! Can't wait for round 2!

When you are a fan of sugarcane juice and cold durian drinks and your friend tells you that there…read moreis a sugarcane place with durian sugarcane, I'm there. It is exactly what I expected and hoped it will be. The durian taste is bright and dominant, then you get the lingering subtle sugarcane taste. Normally I don't like combining other fruit juices with sugarcane because I can't taste the sugarcane (ie calamansi, kumquat) but this was a great pair. I also got a pure sugarcane juice as well but maybe I waited a little long to drink it so it was a bit diluted, recommend asking for less ice if you are saving the drink for later like I did.

Why haven't I come in sooner? Why wasn't I eating delicious waffles, donuts, or crepes last year?…read moreWhy was I missing out? Ugh. I'm mad at past me for not checking out Healthy Cravings sooner. Full disclosure: I'm not a "health food" seeking person. But I am a person who needs gluten free food due to allergy. Healthy cravings is all gluten free. And it's freaking delicious. Pre-diagnosis when I'd eat a waffle, I needed protein on the side... otherwise I'd feel gross afterwards. This waffle has 24g of protein. If you are bodybuilding, diabetic, or just can't eat gluten YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE. Crepes and donuts are high protein, low calorie, no gluten, too. My protein coffee wasn't too sweet and had a robust flavor. Basically, it's food that will make your taste buds happy and keep your stomach in line. Who doesn't want that?

Great spot to grab a pastry and catch up with a friend!…read more They share the parking lot with the surrounding businesses so it could get a little crowded. They have a cute sunroom that has plenty of seating, but also a couple tables and chairs in the main area. I got a strawberry banana smoothie with a mochi doughnut that had strawberry drizzle and powdered sugar on top. I've never had a mochi doughnut before so it was really fun to taste the flavor and texture! I will definitely grab another one or even try a different flavor. The strawberry banana smoothie was the perfect cold beverage on a hot day. The size was great too, just enough to sip on and chat with a friend and a little extra for the drive home. The cashier was also very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I will definitely go back.

Immediately after posting this review, the owner contacted me and gave me the information I was seeking. I really appreciate that. I will go back!

We originally stopped in to check it out, and now it's firmly in our regular rotation. What really sets them apart for us is the flexibility. Some days we're in the mood for a decadent brown sugar drink, and other days we're trying to be a little more mindful. The team has always been happy to customize tea drinks with little to no sugar, making it easy to enjoy boba without feeling like you've completely abandoned your nutrition goals. It's a small thing, but it's made a big difference for us. On the flavor side, they deliver. The drinks are consistently balanced, the tea actually tastes like tea instead of being drowned out by sweetness, and the boba has that perfect chewy texture you're hoping for. The staff has also been incredibly friendly every time we've visited, taking the time to answer questions and make recommendations without making you feel rushed. The inside has plenty of seating and is usually busy when we are there...a nice sign to how good they are. If you're someone who loves classic, indulgent boba, you'll find plenty to enjoy here. But if you're looking for a shop that can also accommodate lower-sugar or lighter options without sacrificing quality, Snowl is absolutely worth checking out. It's one of the reasons we keep finding ourselves back through the door.

Skip desserts at a restaurant. We were finishing our meal at a restaurant but the dessert options…read moredidn't sound enticing so we decided to complete our meal here. It was the best decision. We got a rice cake, strawberry snow and croffle. The strawberry snow was the highlight! It was topped with strawberry mochi and had popping bobba, lychee and fresh strawberry toppings. We managed to finish it all. The croffle was a bit disappointing, it wasn't soft and was hard to cut into. Easy ordering system. Order at a kiosk. Your number get called for pick up at the counter.

We all tried something different and our favorite was half mozzarella & half sausage rolled in potato with spicy mayo. Least favorite was the ramen topped version - just a little too crunchy and dry for us. We also shared the fried basket - which was fantastic but so much food! The mango smoothie was delicious. Will definitely be back.

I am not a big sweets person, but holy moly, the drinks and other offerings here are SO GOOD!…read more My girlfriend kept telling me that the soft serve here is really good and we finally stopped by after some grocery shopping. She was not joking. It was not too sweet and slightly tart. The lychee lemonade aide was really good too. The lychee flavor was a bit overpowering but that is typically the case with lychee flavored anything. The lemon slice in there was a really good touch. I got the affogato with espresso/matcha and Vietnamese coffee. It was my bad to get so many things all in one as it was a bit too much but I think it would've been perfect with espresso and Vietnamese coffee. If you are in the neighborhood and enjoy Asian style drinks and desserts, I would highly recommend checking out Mocha! I know I will be back soon!

For drinks we ordered large beverages both a little under $10 after tax: 5/5 Large Strawberry Matcha Latte 5/5 Large Strabwerry Latte with Brown Sugar Boba topping We are fan of their strabwerry drinks as it is a very good and strong flavor of strabwerry they have and the matcha or milk base always compliments the drink. The matcha is also frothy and both drinks are top with a bit strabwrrry pieces at the top and the matcha powder on top of the drink! So refreshing! 5/5 Half Dozen Creme Brulees Cream Bun We are OBESSESED with their cream buns, we havent tried the other flavors but the creme brulee flavor is always our go to. DELICIOUS bun served with a generous amount of cream on too, The cream really compliments the bread. This is a MUST try if you havent already! With summer just starting, expect us to be back at mocha a couple times to grab refreshing iced cold drinks and delicious cream buns!!!
