Situated in a cue lil food court next to Dayou, Mr Tea thrives on me being too lazy to go somewhere else to get a sweet treat when I'm like knees deep in spicy noods. That said, I did actually very much like the fresh mango slush with cheese macchiato. Even though mangoes are nawt in season, the drink appeared to have real mango chunks in addition to mango jelly. Very refreshing! However, my second encounter with a tea-forward drink was more disappointing. I decided to give the osmanthus latte a try but it tasted quite watered down, almost like they maybe use milk instead of a creamer? The osmanthus flavor was also not strong enough. Overall, a decent place to grab fruity boba if you are in the vicinity but it wouldn't be my first choice if you are looking for tea.

Extensive drink options ranging from milk teas to fruit teas and a variety of toppings. Pricing is a bit steep (comparable to San Francisco prices but in Ohio) but right now they're offering a BOGO 50% off! Good tea flavor, soft boba pearls, definitely a must-visit when grocery shopping at Dayou.

I RARELY give 5 star ratings. But everything about this place was just right!…read more The drinks/food: Let's start with the scent of doughy & crispiness in the air from the moment I walked in. Must have been from the waffles & although that's not something I'd normally consider ordering, one whiff & I was craving them sooo bad! Not to mention that the prospect of exciting versions of them (like Pandan or Ube) made me want to ruin my dinner plans. So after I gained some self control, I ordered what seems like the healthiest & lighest drink up there. It just happened to also have all the flavors of things I adore. The Bambu Special is coconut meat, pandan jelly, brown longan, basil seed (think similar to a chia seed) & coconut water. All this with a crushed ice ball on top. Wow!! So subtle yet flavorful at the same time. I can't wait to make my way down their entire menu . The service: Another wow! The woman behind the counter was so nice & helpful. I mentioned how I like that it's a Vietnamese drink shop & she mentioned that her sister (I think an owner) & herself were both from Cambodia...one of my favorite places I've traveled to. It all made sense as the kindest people in all my travels were in Cambodia. She gave me future recommendations & I promised to return! The atmosphere: Clean, bright, variety of styled of seats, couches, high tops, & greenery walls that have cute neon signs. Wish this place was closer because it definitely had a coffee shop vibe. As a boba addict, I think I might have to pick this place over all the amazing boba options in that area & that's saying a lot! Please go try these goodies for yourself & support our local business owners!

I like how you can alter the amount of sweetness on any drink. Their ordering system was weird this time. Everyone stood in line by the register to order (because that's where the machine was this time) instead of ordering at the register. It made much more sense when it was towards the opening of the store & you could pick how you wanted to order. They're too busy unfortunately to ask any questions, so you better know what you want! The game machines were a nice touch & I wasted a few dollars on that while I waited.

Somehow I left with a non-mango drink, but it was a game time decision to try the weekly special - taro coconut twist. I wasn't sure at first, but it grew on me. Very cold, mild nutty flavor of taro, sweet and icy. Staff was polite and efficient. Shop is clean and quiet. Maybe too quiet? I think some music would liven it up. Enjoyed my little afternoon outing. Will definitely come again.

It was a bit off putting but I stuck around and ordered the halo halo. They have their speciality drinks with photos and descriptions along the wall. Those were helpful as their website was unreadable with what was in each dessert. The halo halo was delightful. It has a lot of flavor and some different things in it that have not been in other versions at other restaurants. It is a bit pricey but is larger than expected, which was nice and much more worth the money. I will go back and try some of the other desserts. They do have seating inside, but I got mine to go.

I liked that they had a kiosk so I could take my time going through the options. We clarified with the person making the drinks that the drink we got included boba because it was kind of unclear on the kiosk. Overall pretty good size for the price especially since nowadays boba can be around $8-10. I thought the flavor was good and the boba texture and flavor was perfect. It's definitely on the sweet side but that's probably because of the specific drinks we got (brown sugar). Would come again!

Fresh egg waffles??? In Columbus? Sign me up…read more Over super cute Asian dessert place that has the usual evaporated/condensed milk yums and most importantly, fresh egg waffles with ice cream. I've been stalking down their mango pamelo sago dessert for literally months but they've never had the mangos in season to make it, so fingers crossed for the summer... Otherwise, cute place to hang and get some sweet treats. Beware they do close pretty early for a dessert place so come by early!
