After eating a nice Vietnamese food lunch in this area, we were in the hunt for desert. Coco Leaf is a solid pick in this area and they also had assortment of pastries. We tried two (as pictured which was banh dua and matcha bun). Both were delicious and not too sweet which is what I look for in Asian deserts. Service was friendly and quick as when we visited it was in the middle of the day so there was no line. Ambiance is clean and has the typical vibe of a boba tea place! Our drinks were as expected -

I can see why they close early compared to most other bubble tea stores compared to the rest of Boston. I got a che and a gardenia milk tea. I couldn't really taste the gardenia. But the rest of the drink was perfect. The che was everything I've dreamed of for Vietnamese desserts. A bag of ice was even packed with my order since I got it as takeout.

What a nice (somewhat hidden) gem. We had a wonderful evening here that too on a weekend.

The teas were fresh and tasty, I absolutely loved the salted cheese. We asked for no ice with 70% sugar, and the drinks were made exactly right. Ambiance is cozy, and quiet. Perfect for a conversation, art therapy, or even for games which they supply. Happy to have made a neat little discovery!

We stopped by on a holiday, so the place was pretty empty, but the staff were friendly and quick with getting our order out. We tried the matcha mango smoothie and the mango green tea. Both drinks leaned heavily on the sweet side, which was honestly a bit too much. The matcha mango didn't really taste like matcha at all, which was a bit disappointing. We also got the egg waffles, which were solid and tasty but felt pretty standard, nothing that really stood out.

We were getting delivery from a nearby restaurant and since some of the dishes were spicy I wanted…read moreto get something sweet to balance it out. Sweet Sip definitely met our expectations that day. I got the dark and stormy milk tea which came with honey boba. It was interesting to see that you could add free toppings to your milk tea which you rarely see elsewhere. I added the passion fruit jelly and pudding. Unfortunately there were no options in the delivery app to adjust for sweetness or ice so we got the drink as is. It was very well made but was sweeter than I'd prefer (my sweetness level is 70%). However because our accompanying dinner was spicier than expected, the sweetness of the drink actually helped us! I also ordered the mochi eggpuff with pandan flavor. I'm not sure if I could taste the pandan but the eggpuff was delicious. Again, sweeter than I'd typically like but the texture was great - crunchy outside with a chewy mochi filling. We had leftovers and it heated up excellently the next day in our simple toaster oven. This was intended to be a fun add-on to our meal and turned out to be quite essential - glad we tried them out!

I was really looking forward to this pandan waffle, but I was so disappointed. It was extremely…read moredense and oily, and barely had any pandan flavor. It wasn't crunchy because of how dense it was. Would not recommend. On the plus side, the inside of the store was really clean and cute! It looked like their popular items were the smoothies and drinks so maybe those are better dessert options. The workers are really nice, too.

We came on a rainy Friday night and I was craving an avocado dessert which was why I decided to…read moregive Bambu a visit. There were some people waiting for their orders and one party in front of us in line at the time. While it wasn't busy, it took a decent amount of time for us to order and receive our order. We ended up getting the Smashed Avocado Che and while it was a bit pricey, I enjoyed the option of being able to switch out a topping for a different one for no additional charge. In addition, I liked the dessert itself and the texture of the ice was light and ground up enough where it didn't feel like I was eating a whole ice cube. However, the service was just a little strange and quiet that night yet the lady at the register was a bit rude by staring us down when the option for tip came up on the register screen and when asking for napkins, she merely gave us a singular napkin.

Self service - you grab a plastic glove and cup, walk to the end of the shop, and start pulling down the handles to dispense yogurt.

After you're done with yogurt, move on to toppings (boba, candies, etc). Remember! It's weigh and pay system. My small portion came out to be exactly $6. Huge place but it's dark.

Love going to Ba Le in Dorchester, for a quick bite! They…read moredon't have dine-in, just take-out. Love the variety they offer here. They're popular for their banh mi sandwiches & drinks. I enjoy getting their cold cut banh mi with extra butter and pate! I like that their baguettes are not too thick and are quite flaky. The bread to filling ratio is perfect each bite. Every time I visit, I always get a cold cut banh mi, nem, and sugarcane juice or an iced coffee. Super quick service. The line can seem daunting at times, especially in the early morning or lunch time but I promise it does move fast!

Two cups of fresh sugarcane and I'm good to go! Prices go up, as cost of goods go up. Still a bargain compared to other sandwiches you get for more money! Filling is always generous, you want extra butter pate? Just say so yes it cost a little more but they don't just give u a tiny bit, they smack it on your sub. The tall handsome guy at the register is always cool as hell! We also get jerky and nem with the pepper pretty frequently. Nice snack when you got class or work. I've gone out and tried so many other people's favorites because they wanted to hate on BaLe, and honest opinion lol, those other places don't even come close. They have long lines here during lunch rush or morning rush, but it moves. The bread is fresh every day. I'll just stick to my day 1. Thanks. But ayyyeee bring in more nem nuong for my custom sub haha jk.

They have a kiosk you order food. The first thing you see is how many pennies they will charge you for any fork knife spoon plate bag etc. it's making customers wonder if you're stressing over pennies what's the quality of food like are they skimping on that too? I ordered a pad kra pao. It's always been served with an egg. Not here, that's $2.95 extra! The price doesn't include any meat/tofu, you have to choose one that's at least $1.95 more So $17 plus tax for a takeout and they make me pay .03 for a fork and no napkins anywhere to be seen btw. The dish was almost all rice. There was maybe 6oz of basil peppers and minced chicken Gf had a panang curry which was also almost all rice I won't be coming back sorry to say especially given the horrible traffic that plagues this area. That's my .03 or the cost of their stupid plastic fork....... Next time I'm headed north on 93 to Bangkok spice in reading

For a late lunch, I stopped by Pho 2000. On a Wednesday at 2 p.m., it was empty. I put in my order…read morefor spring rolls ($4.50) and bun bo hue ($13.95). The spring rolls arrived within 5 minutes--two rolls, cut in half. The rice paper was springy enough, the sesame sauce wasn't watery, and the shrimp wasn't overcooked or old. I don't need to ask for much else at a neighborhood pho joint. The bun bo hue arrived a bit after I finished the spring rolls. The noodles were springy, the broth piping hot so the bean sprouts wouldn't sap too much heat, and the portion size was decent. I enjoyed all the beef tendon, but it was missing the pork blood and the funkiness of chili crisp that usually defines bun bo hue. The bun bo hue itself is a miss by its own definition, but still a solid beef noodle soup. That's the primary reason for 3* instead of 4*. Not a bad place though, especially for the price point. I'd come back.

The way it's packaged for to go looks wonderful. For the price, I believe it's around $30-$35 which isn't bad for the portion. I would say this feeds about 3-4 people. Comes with two dank (a unique smell and taste) sauces so be prepared. It's more potent compared to the other restaurants. I did not mind at all. My advice is to add a little hot water to tone it down . Overall, I would definitely come back. Highly recommend trying this dish!!
