First was greeted by one of the friendly staff with a sample of Zesty Oolong. I was debating to…read moreorder other items but that sample just left me with such impression and I had to order it (perfect sweetness and perfect ice) While waiting, my husband found me and ask what am i doing in a spa needless to say, the ambiance is definitely a world apart from other places. To me Zesty Oolong is similar to a HK lemon tea but this is much more elevated.

Came for the popcorn milk tea, and it definitely delivered. You really get that kettle popcorn…read moreflavor blended with the tea, and the jelly added a nice extra touch. I enjoyed every part of the drink. My friend ordered the calamansi drink, and that was really good too--you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The line wasn't bad when we arrived. Even after 9pm, the place was still packed, but service was quick and efficient. One thing that caught me off guard was how dark it was outside--there's not much street lighting. Not sure if that's intentional, but it did feel a little off. Overall, it's not something I'd constantly crave, but it's definitely a spot I'd happily come back to.

Parking: Same store as factory tea bar so parking is a small lot and some on the street. Usually…read morenot packed as the store is only open part of the day. Interior: Factory tea bar remodel quite a bit so it is a lot more modern and well light. Great studying spot. Wait Time: None as I ordered online. Drinks were ready when I got there. Also was empty mid day. Items Order: Larges 9/10 Egg coffee $7.5 - Coffee was very good, strong, sweet, authentic viet flavor. Egg foam was a solid addition but the egg flavor gets lost when mixed so could use more. 7.5/10 Matcha Einspanner $8 - sweetness was about 50% so could use more. the matcha itself was average, foam was solid and creamy. 8/10 Viet Coffee Einspanner $7.5 - solid viet coffee overall but the foam doesn't do much in my opinion 8/10 Nutty Spice Viet Coffee $7.5 - the pistachio milk added a different taste profile to the coffee which was a nice switch up. Pistachio flavor is definitely strong so get it only if that's what youre looking for.

this place is in combination with the old factory tea bar. pretty empty & probably for a reason :/…read more there is a tiny parking lot & also street parking i ordered the matcha einspanner, the matcha tasted like anything but matcha. i can't even describe what i took a sip of, a combination of slight sourness & super grainy & lots of chunks in the drink.

The Smoking Spaniard is my favorite and go-to from here, but their Banana Milk Latte and Corn Milk…read moreLatte are also great! Coffee is always strong and not too sweet. Their savory pastries are some of my favorite! Not to mention their cakes and chubby basque cheesecakes... so basically all their baked goods. FYI, they're also on TooGoodToGo if you get lucky! I appreciate their app and rewards program as well, as I'm a regular at this and their MP location.

Banana latte is well balanced. Sweet corn latte is tasty. Tiger latte is strong. House drip coffee…read moreis black plain coffee. It's just the flavor added coffees which are well balanced. I ordered 4 coffees and they all come out without label on the cup so if you order a lot to go, be sure to ask which one is which. I ordered large size but the size is like medium size to me. Price is high. Also latte came out without mixing so you have to shake it but again the lid doesn't have lid stopper which I have to asked for that. The Place is small so you are sitting pretty close to other party. Parking is the same parking lot in 168 market so it's challenging sometimes.

Say hello to Jacqueline-such a wonderful young lady & Lin-barista extraordinaire. Will be a regular here Love the cute space, great for hanging out, meet ups, groups and upstairs for quiet contemplation or study. Some outdoor seating too. Located inside Blossom Market Hall in San Gabriel-- plenty of free parking too.

Let's get to it: 1…read more Parking - there are plenty! 2. Drinks we tried: matcha coconut (2/5) and macbrulee coffee (5/5). For the matcha coconut, we didn't really like that it had the whole milk added and felt like the matcha could've been stronger. Coffee was good. No notes. 3. Pricing - better than most. Averaging $6.75/drink vs $8+ everywhere else. PLUS they don't charge for alt milk which is a big plus for me. 4. Service - 10/5! The lady who helped us was seriously so sweet. Loved it! 5. Plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor since it's in a food hall!

It was moderately loud and there was a lot of foot traffic. ordered : (5/5) - The putu: the barista recommended this and I was pleasantly surprised. The Pandan works great with the coffee and it didn't taste too strong. - Putu ayu: it tasted like a fluffy cake with Pandan and coconut. It was good, but nothing spectacular. The other pastries on display also looked delicious! service: (5/5) The place was fairly busy but the barista took their time explaining the menu. parking: (5/5) Large free lot across the street, otherwise street parking. overall: The drink was delicious and I would come back to try others!

Came here with a friend on a Friday morning and had such a nice, chill experience. Uncle Fung is a…read moresuper cute little coffee spot with a cozy vibe and a small selection of homemade pastries. We ordered the putu and a dirty Milo. The putu was definitely our favorite, the coconut pandan cream on top was so good and really made it stand out. The dirty Milo was solid too, just not quite as memorable in comparison. I already had breakfast before coming, so I didn't get to try their pandan chiffon cake, but it looked really good and I'd come back for it. It's a great place to study or just hang out for a bit. The baristas were really friendly and helpful, especially since it was our first time there. Parking was easy too. There's a free lot in the back and also a free public parking structure on First Ave, which makes it super convenient. Overall, a solid spot if you're in the area and want something a little different from your usual coffee run.

I've been back a few times now and the consistency is what really stands out. The drinks are always solid, the pastries are fresh, and everything looks just as good as it tastes.

This place popped up & doesn't close til 8 pm- cool!! There just 2 seats indoors with a "bar" table and a bench to park your behind while waiting for your drink. There's no restroom. The outdoor patio is spacious but it shares it with 2 other businesses (Dumpling Bar & Mari Vees). Staff is trite, professional, competent but not overly friendly. He made my drink as requested-iced matcha latte with oat milk, less ice, 75% sweet level, one of the best so far, nothing fancy, just good, quality matcha. I'm likely to return if ever in the area, and that's me not big on tea lol \(*0*)/

I received a message from the management after posting my review about the bitter jasmine tea I…read moreordered at Bopomofo Café. At first, I was honestly worried and thought, "Are they trying to challenge my review?" I usually leave positive reviews, but once I wrote an honest review after being served a completely cold hamburger at another restaurant in Pasadena, and that restaurant filed a complaint that resulted in my review being removed. Because of that experience, I was concerned this might become a similar situation. Instead, they kindly listened to my experience, sent me a thoughtful message, and even invited me back to try the drink again. So, I wanted to post another review because I genuinely appreciated how professionally and graciously they handled the situation. Their response showed care, hospitality, and a sincere desire to improve the customer experience.

Old Ferry is located in a small plaza with a designated parking lot…read more They have a large selection of donut flavors!! Of the donuts I ordered the stand outs for me were the Butter Pistachio and the Dubai Matcha Donut. The Butter Pistachio is a staple, offering a nutty exterior with a sweet creme filling inside. The donuts are light so you can eat a lot!! I also enjoyed the Dubai Matcha, it wasn't too sweet and had a subtle matcha flavor with a flakey interior to add to the texture. So yummy!!

I recently discovered this donut shop while looking for something beyond the usual traditional…read moreflavors and I'm glad I did. Everything I tried had just the right level of sweetness without being overpowering. I ordered: Butter Pistachio donut Crème Brûlée donut Peanut Butter & Jelly donut Peanut Butter donut Onion Sesame (2) All of the donuts were delicious, with unique flavors that really stand out. I haven't tried everything yet, but I'm definitely on a mission to come back and work my way through the menu. My all time favorite is the Onion Sesame flavor. But all in all they were all very good. Customer service was excellent, and the shop itself has a really trendy, welcoming vibe. Overall a great find!

Paris Baguette is one of my favorite bakeries of all time. The bakery chain offers a great mix of…read morepastries, cakes, sandwiches, breads, packaged treats, and beverages. This particular location though, could use some work with consistency. The selection and quality of pastries and drinks seem to vary throughout my many visits. My top pastries are all of their croissant-like pastries, especially the Pastry Frank (filled with a savory sausage inside) and Mini Strawberry Lemon Cream Croissant (filled with a smooth and tangy lemon cream and fresh strawberries that add a tartness). Both of these have flaky, buttery exterior shells that are wonderful to bite into. For cakes, I love the strawberry soft cream cake. This cake is simple, light, and not too sweet. The thin layers of vanilla, soft cream, and strawberries blend excellently together. I appreciate that they provide free candles with whole cakes. An underrated cake is the green tea roll cake, which is delicious, but not ideal for celebrations.

I tried to pace myself but still ended up with a twisted cinnamon donut, a slice of tiramisu cake, and a few extra treats to go. No regrets at all. Service was quick and everything came out exactly right, which made the whole visit feel easy and relaxed. I left very happy and already thinking about what I'm trying next time. I was definitely satisfied and I can't wait to return.
