Let me preface by saying I'm not a car enthusiast so car meet ups does not interest me. I came here to try their tofu dessert items and pick up some merchandise for a friend. I went the weekend of their 4th Anniversary (Congratulations, btw). The place is small. It's definitely not suitable for a large group to meet and catch up on life. You walk in and order from one of their two kiosks. I was never greeted by any employees here. I wasn't even sure how their pick up process operated. After I ordered from the kiosk, I waited nearly 15 minutes for my order. I only ordered one drink. Nobody from behind the counter called out a name or number. Customers would basically walk up to the pick up window and give them their order number. It was only until then, their orders were passed over to them. It was nice looking at the memorabilia they had in store. They also had two arcade/video games, but one was out of service. Inside the establishment was very stuffy and hot. It was a hot, sunny afternoon when I went and the sun was shining directly into the business. I wished they had shade or blinds to reduce the brightness and warm temperature in there. My drink wasn't very good. I can't even remember what it was, but it tasted like watered down soy milk. Maybe most of the positive reviews were from those who attended their night meet ups because based on customer service and food alone, it wasn't anything to brag about. I really hoped for a better experience. Not sure if I'll come back again.

Come visit before they close down this Sunday. The owner said he's going to open another spot but doesn't know where yet. Follow them on instagram for updates. There's lots of parking and the inside has cute decor. I visited later in the day so most of the items were sold out, come early if you want the fried tofu items. Most if the drinks are tofu or soy milk based. It is not like the typical boba store.

這是一家很有自己特色的茶店,本來我會過來是因為看到網路上有冰淇淋,但是來的時候也沒看見,會給三顆星是因為豆花還可以吃,但是茶真的不怎麼樣,還有服務員的態度沒有很好,當然不是很差,基本上不會笑,也完全沒在理客人的,如果要做服務業這個行業,他們的態度真的需要改進

Cool little Initial D themed cafe! Luckily we were in socal when there was a car meet hosted in the parking lot. They have a variety of interesting drinks with soy stuff Emperor - my friend really liked it, good if you're into sesame Soy cream green tea - wasn't as good as i was hoping. The tea wasn't very strong, but my friend seemed to like it

[July 30, 5:58PM] Dine-in order Order: - Fujiwara Tofu Pudding w/Osmanthus Pearl (3.5/5): The boba was chewy, and tofu tasted fine. Not really fond of the flavor of the flower that was sprinkled on top of the tofu. I had to ask for extra syrup because there was barely enough to go with the top layer of the tofu. Maybe the restaurant can give syrup on the side for customers to adjust to their liking. - Fujiwara Classic Spicy Tofu (4/5): Flavor is ordinarily good. Since the store uses paper bowls, I noticed that the soup/oil started to soak into the cup, leaving orange marks throughout the cup. I was expecting something more unique in terms for flavor, but nothing really stood out to me. -Fujiwara Zone (Black Sticky Rice Coconut Soymilk) (2.5/5): The store only offered 0%, 50%, or 100% sugar level, so I went with 50%. The drink tasted like unsweetened soymilk that you can buy from the store. Maybe 100% sugar would taste better. I like the vibe inside, the decorations are one of a kind but I don't really see myself coming back again for the food or drinks.

Cute little tofu cafe. I went with the cold tofu with black sesame and it was great. It's well decorated and a fun place to stop by if you're in the neighborhood. Not quite somewhere I'd go out of my way for. Plenty of parking in the lot. Digital payment only. Fast service.

A little difficult to locate for my first visit. Coming northbound from Rosemead Blvd, my GPS had me go towards the I-10, but there is also a way by turning right onto Telstar Ave. I went yesterday, Wednesday, around 3 pm, and it was not busy. Parking was easy; it is located in a plaza. TBH, there's not much in the plaza aside from a Starbucks and Del Taco. Upon entering, we were greeted by a voice behind the counter. You can order at the kiosks or online ahead of time, and they do not accept cash. Very minimal interaction with the staff, except for picking up your order in the back. I ordered an Emperor (Black Sesame Soymilk w/ Tofu Pudding) with 50% sweetness, and my brother got Night Kids (Ovaltine Soymilk with Mochi) with 50% sweetness. Mine tasted like it was not sweet at all, maybe it's the tofu, but next time I'll try 100%. Apart from the sweetness percentage, the drinks are not customizable, so I couldn't add boba, which was a bummer. However, the selection of drinks is pretty unique, so I understand. The interior is predominantly black and white, inspired by an anime. There are a lot of car and racing themes. I definitely will be back to try their tofu snacks and desserts.

If you like Cantonese dessert tofu, this place is for you! This is basically as close as it gets to being in Hong Kong. Quality of the tofu is amazingly smooth. The soup is sweet with a hint of ginger. They have a few varieties such as red beans or taro or black sesame if you want to get fancy. But for me the traditional ones is still better. Good for take out since seating here isn't exactly comfortable. But quality won't degrade even if you take it out which is a plus!

Finally had the chance to check out Fujiwara Tofu Cafe in El Monte. I've been craving HK authentic tofu pudding for a while and this place is pretty good! They offer various toppings and even a fun drink menu. I got an original hot tofu pudding and a tofu pudding with red bean! Both delicious and their service is straightforward. You'd first order on their kiosks, and they even have a pup tofu pudding with no brown sugar and a cute bone on top! My dog loved it! Dog approved!! The store itself is super cute and anime car-themed. For all of my car enthusiasts, this is the spot for you--check out their car simulation games!

Came here for the last weekend they were open. Really cute themed cafe with tofu drinks. The were having a car meet outside so parking wasn't easy but had lots of fun

I only got a picture of the stinky tofu because we already ate the tofu pudding :( This place is cute, it's good, and it's just an overabundance of ae86s everywhere. I wish both the Initial D machines worked though. The stinky tofu had a strong smell BUT when eating it, it could have been stinkier. ALL the tofu pudding had a good texture and taste though. Would definitely come back even if you weren't a fan of Initial D.

I love introducing my friends to this fun Initial D themed cafe. It's a total hidden gem of nostalgia with collectibles, cool decor, and even initial D driving arcade games from back in the day. Over the years, they've really stopped maintaining some of the furniture and the quality of the interior is looking slightly worn down and sad though. The service has always been super chill here, no complaints now that it's not as busy as a couple of years ago. I still really enjoy their tofu desserts. Portions are perfect for these. My favorites are the brown sugar, black sesame (doesn't overwhelm the tofu somehow), and now the new osmanthus flavor...the boba actually does it justice. Hopefully they can freshen up to look on the inside, but I'd still drop by anyway for the tofu

finally got to try the famous Fujiwara tofu cafe!! the inside of this place is based on an old anime called Initial D, and sometimes the car that they raced in the show is outside (I didn't get to see it!). the inside is pretty cozy and cool, complete with chairs and tables and a restroom in the back for convenience. you have to order at the kiosk as well. my order came out in under 10 minutes which was good. I ordered the fried tofu and the brown sugar tofu pudding. the fried tofu was definitely my favorite out of the two!! it wasn't too heavy or breaded heavily. the pudding was pretty good, but after you eat all the syrup it becomes a bit bland so I wish there was a bit more of the sugar syrup. it was still good though. all in all, I really liked this place.

The Hello Kitty And Friends Café is pretty much what you would expect a tourist-y cafe would be…read morelike at one of the most popular LA attractions, Universal City Walk. I came here with my two friends because we love Hello Kitty and wanted to check it out! I've been to multiple of their locations before, so I had an idea of what to expect - however, if you don't, then here is a run down. It's located in Universal City Walk, which means Universal Studios parking (with validation from AMC) and neighbors Hot Topic, Ben n Jerry's, and a few other fun shops. A lot of tourists are typically on City Walk, as well as people on their way to and from Universal Studios. There tends to be a lot of people no matter the day (for the most part). The cafe doesn't have an inside - so no indoor seating, but they have a small outdoor area that is slightly gated off with some chairs and tables for the cafe specifically. If they're packed, though, most people sit on the wall on the side, or try to find seating somewhere else, although it's nearly impossible. Universal City Walk has a restroom, but Hello Kitty And Friends Cafe does not. Additionally, their menu is pretty limited. This cafe is really a niche spot for people to take their photos and get an Instagram worthy treat. Out of all the food treats, there are no dairy-free and/or gluten-free items. The items they did have featured a mini slice of chocolate cake, a birthday cake, macaroons, and a couple more items. All of the food is premade and comes from a bag, so don't expect anything super amazing. They did have good drinks, though. We got two different types of drinks, my friend and I both getting the same one, being an electric blue lemonade. The drinks were tasty and we'd definitely at least get those again! If you like or even LOVE Hello Kitty, then this location could be worth checking out! If you're willing to make a day out of it at Universal City Walk, or even Universal Studios, then it can be a fun addition! I wouldn't center your entire day around here, as it is a pretty fast grab-and-go style place with no indoor seating, but some seating right in front. The aesthetic for the store's front at least is super cute. Gluten-free and/or dairy-free? Be cautious and just get a drink from them. If you've never been to any of the Hello Kitty And Friends Cafes, then definitely go to this one if the opportunity arises! Otherwise, it's good, but not my favorite location of theirs - slightly smaller, quicker, and limited compared to their other locations.

We definitely had such a great experience at the Hello Kitty and Friends Café! The service was…read moreamazing, and we were the first ones in line, which made the experience even more special. You really can't beat how incredibly cute all the food is! Everything was almost too adorable to eat. After enjoying the café, we went next door to shop for souvenirs and picked up some T-shirts to remember the visit. This was our fifth Hello Kitty and Friends Café experience, so I'm especially excited that we can officially check the Universal location off our list! Another fun Hello Kitty adventure checked off the list!

My niece was in town and I was looking for activities to do, and I saw My Little Paris Café online…read more It's a super cool concept -- a place where your kids can play while you relax and enjoy a meal. The menu has lots of yummy dishes like salads, pastas, and croques. Everything is made with fresh, real ingredients and no additives, and the pizza and marinara sauce are made from scratch. My niece loved it here -- she got to play and eat yummy pizza. This place also does private parties! Sweetest owners ever from paris!

Edit: I love how the owner wrote a very long defensive response trying to invalidate mine…read more Yes, we were repeat customers because we wanted to try to support a local business and tried to give it numerous chances. We never liked the "entrance fee" that I obviously know about and I stand by what I said: ADULTS ARE FORCED TO ORDER THEIR SUBPAR OVERPRICED FOOD FOR ENTRY aside from the entrance fee for their kids. The SGV eats post - I wasn't talking about one post. Geraldyne has posted several times and most of those times people have chimed in with their experiences and she removed her entire posts so people won't find the comments. Once again, trust the low star ratings. If you read them, you'll see a lot of them echo what I've posted here. --- If you have a toddler or a young kid, avoid this place. Read the lower rated reviews, because those paint a more accurate picture than glowing reviews from people who got discounts to this place. Adults are forced to order a meal as an entrance fee, and all the choices are subpar and overpriced. There was only one lovely staff member, an African American woman that unfortunately seemed to have left, because everyone else were not friendly nor helpful, and are barely present. The husband who supposedly cooks the meal made the driest, toughest, inedible steak salad and I couldn't even get help with my meal because there was no staff around to help, and whenever the husband came out, he would just be zipping in and out so fast I couldn't even catch him, and I couldn't leave my daughter by herself. The food choices for kids are also subpar. The play area itself is also subpar. There's very little options to play with, and whatever is there are mostly broken toys or have missing parts. The "separate" area for younger kids are always a huge mess to the point where it's safer for a 1-2 yr old to be in the general area with how disorganized it is. It's nothing but an afterthought, and bigger kids go there to mess up that area all the time No one really goes to clean up or check the play areas periodically, so even though it's part of their "rules", you see kids throwing toys at other kids, kids leaving messes around, etc. The positive reviews about these place are probably from people who've only been there once and have had some sort of discount. As a previous repeat customer who tried to give this place multiple chances, it is nothing but a cash-grab by greedy owners who care nothing about kids. The owner, Geraldine, also loves to promote her business on Facebook groups, and even whine about lack of "support" from people, but when previous customers try to make suggestions or anything remotely resembling a valid criticism, she'll remove the post so no one sees it. It's very dishonest, and shows what kind of people run this business. There are better places to go to entertain kids in SGV, don't waste your time and money here.

When I was there, it didn't seem like staff was doing ENOUGH to stop patrons from behaving innapropriately. The other folks that were there with me were grabbing kitties, waving toys right in their faces, throwing toys at them. This one lady was just completely ignoring the cats body language. It kept hissing and nipping and her and flicking its tail and she just laughed and kept touching it and throwing a mouse toy at its face. It hurt to watch. I wish that patrons were given more instruction on how to approach cats, maybe a little card with some Do's and Don'ts. Not everyone has played with a cat before. I didn't end up petting any of the cats because they all looked like they were not in a mood to be pet. Which, of course, staff can't control. But the cats may be less overstimulated if people didn't poke at em. I was only there for 15 minuites. Maybe the staff was just having an off day. Maybe they are typically better about this I don't know. If any staff see this, I think it would be a good idea to give some of the patrons more direction beyond "don't pick up the cats."

They have you take off your shoes but they have a some "socks" for ya and a shoe rack and a place to hang your purses. They really do care for these kitties so much and do so much work to help socialize them. Thumper was their newest cat when I got there and so if you see them please give them a huge cuddle! I love that they let the cats in the bathroom if they wanna hide or get some space (so put the toilet seat down!) What a great place to relax with kitties or come with some friends for a hangout
