My eyes were fixated on the gigantic cookies on top, but then my eyes looked down, and I saw it. It was the blueberry lemon muffin. That's actually one of my favorite combos. This thing was so moist with tons of blueberries. My taste buds were shocked at the goodness of quality and taste. Who brags about ice water? I have to. Ice cold water with crushed ice. Did you ever try a passionfruit crème brûlée, well I did, with a touch of tartness and not overly sweet, it was the best crème brûlée ever!

A very cute boba shop in the downtown area!…read more LOCATION: Located in a bustling downtown area, there is street parking available. The space itself is decorated well with cute murals and figures. There are a few tables and chairs for people to hang out. MENU: Apart from mochi donuts, they have a wide selection of bobas. The mochi donuts are just okay. They also sell snacks and misc. items too. DRINKS: I opted for the matcha milk tea with boba and my partner ordered the strawberry milk tea. The matcha milk tea was fine but the boba itself wasn't great at all. I don't think it was cooked well unfortunately. It was very apparent that the strawberry milk tea was powder as it tasted very artificial. Pricey for subpar boba. OVERALL: I probably won't come back for their drinks but maybe just for the mochi donuts. The staff was friendly and place was clean. Bonus points for having a bathroom!

All dishes were sooo flavorful and the portions were quite generous. It is worth the drive out here for delicious Vietnamese food.

Coco Leaf is located in Little Saigon, Dorchester Ave. Parking can be a bit tricky here as…read moreeverything seems to be street parking, that's what's painful coming in this area - but it's worth the trip if you're looking for Vietnamese spots! 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.

However, pricing aside, the egg waffle was prepared fresh upon order. You can choose the waffle flavor, and then go with 1 of many topping themes. We chose the Chocolate Lover with Vanilla waffle flavor. This looked amazing and the tastes and quality matched it. It quickly made us forget the price! The staff up front were friendly. Only downside was it took like 15 minutes to get your egg waffle (was told up front at least). Ambiance is the food court of South Shore Plaza. If you want a fancy egg waffle treat, definitely try this place!
