I used to visit this cafe almost every week a few years ago. I loved their Dalgona latte which I…read morethought was the best in town. Since their management changed, the drink flavor was not the same as before, so, I stopped visiting. Recently I just found dubai chocolate cookie hello kitty version on instagram, so curious, and I revisited. I got dalgona cream latte and dubai cookie. I am so glad their drink flavor is back and just as great as before. Dalgona cream was so creamy and good when it mixed with milk. Dubai cookie 's kataifi filling was great. So crunchy with very bold chocolate flavor. It is called "cookie" however, to me, it felt more like Dubai chocolate mochi. Texture was so soft and chewy. It was great. Overall, I am happy I revisited. Next time, I will try different item I had never tried.

We were able to take advantage of this offer after dining there. The scorching day called for some shakes. Both were sizeable though on the sweeter side and too liquidy to be considered shakes. Overall for the price, I'd certainly opt for another drink next time.

This place closed down for awhile and then reopened. This was our first visit back since they…read morereopened. Gotta be honest, it's not as good as it used to be. The menu has shrunk considerably and their business days/hours are also a lot less than what it was previously. The drinks were not as tasty as they used to be. My Blue Rose drink was the best of the bunch and I would say even that was just OK. I enjoyed the Lychee jelly in my drink. That was probably the best part of the drink. The liquid part was kinda "meh" for me. I think the best thing we ordered was the matcha soft serve ice cream. On the flip side, there was a guy playing piano there and they were taking requests. I suggested Demon Slayer and the guy played the famous "Gurenge" song by Lisa from season one of Demon Slayer. That was kinda cool. He was a very good pianist. Great way to liven the atmosphere. Also, there was a guy who came around and gave us all tiny paper cranes. It's nothing much, but still always nice to be gifted with anything at all. Business must be hard for them. It would sure be nice to see them return to how they used to be, with a bigger menu, tastier drinks and more days/hours again. We love this place for the manga/ anime vibes that it exudes, and love the Matcha soft serve ice cream they sell here. Really wanna give this place a higher rating but the drinks were really not up to par this time, and as much as we love the Matcha ice cream, it is not by itself enough to warrant giving out a higher rating. If they could just improve the quality of their drinks again...then even if they menu remains limited, at least if everything they serve is of good quality...that would be enough to merit a higher rating.

A visit to the Crystal Mall food court isn't complete without stopping by Paradise Juice. In my…read moreopinion, this is one of the must-try stalls here, and I've tried most of the vendors in the food court. I usually hit at least four different food stalls every time I visit and always end the meal with something from Paradise Juice. Everything is very affordable. Cash only. The menu has tons of options and is highly customizable, which makes it hard to choose every time. They prepare the drinks right in front of you using real fruits. Everything I've ordered so far has tasted fresh, natural, and delicious. My only complaint is that their business hours are inconsistent. They opened late most of the times I was there, while the rest of the food court opened on time. On my most recent visit, they were almost two hours late and I almost missed them.

Came here recently for the BOGO free Watermelon drink deal. That deal was over but they still had a…read moreBOGO 50% off deal on the Watermelon drinks so I came back for that deal ended. Got my daughter a Watermelon Yakult drink with coconut jelly in it and a Watermelon slush drink with coconut jelly in it. Didn't get around to trying my daughter's drink. I enjoyed the Watermelon Slush, but I think I actually liked the Watermelon Mango Slush I had previously better than plain Watermelon Slush. Seems like the Watermelon drinks are going to be a limited time offer but I kinda wish they'd keep them around permanently!

Fresh fruit smoothies and beverages, topped with cheese foam and an assortment of add ins and toppings. My go to is a tie between the grapefruit mango sago and the pandan mango. And there's ice cream too! I haven't tried that but will definitely comment here once I have. Price is about 50 cents to a dollar more than your Alfa tea, without the 30 minute line up. Happy to support what seems to be a family owned franchise.

I'd never been to this Blenz location before. It was a convenient place for me to stop though as I…read morewas on my way home and feeling quite parched, so really didn't care to wait until I got closer to the Blenz that was closer to my home. I wanted a drink ASAP. I had a birthday freebie to redeem from the Blenz App and as I'd already just finished spending a bit of money on groceries and other essentials, I thought it would be a good time to claim my bday freebie and give my wallet a break. So, I walked and at first thought I could order just about any drink on the menu and that it would just be restricted to a certain size. Well, it turns out the bday freebie from Blenz is limited to certain types of drinks. It doesn't apply to a lot of the specialty drinks. Teas, tea lattes, coffees...those are the kinds of drinks that you can get with the bday freebie. I really should have read the fine print first before trying to order but I was hot and thirsty. The brain was not braining...the brain only knew one thing, which was that I was thirsty! The guy working at the counter though was very kind and patient. I sometimes worry that people are going to give me poor service cuz when I walk in to claim something for free, and don't spend money on anything else while I'm there. When someone can still be kind, friendly, helpful and patient with me even though I'm not spending any money there...that is excellent service to me, and that makes me more likely to wanna come back at a future point in time and spend money in the shop when it's not my bday. So...hats off to the guy at this Blenz who pointed out the fine print on the bday offer to me; then made me my free bday beverage and served it to me with a smile. I ended up ordering an iced Chai Latte and it was awesome by the way! Highly recommend this location of Blenz!

Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreFood: 4/5 I knew I had to check out this newly opened location as soon as I could so I came with a friend on a Tuesday morning. There's 6 x 2-person tables inside along with maybe 4/5 outside as well. I managed to snag the last table for my friend and I but it definitely got less busy after 11am so keep this in mind if you're visiting. I tried the hibiscus lemonade and it was really good! I also appreciated that they had some samples of pastries to try which i imagine is because they just opened. The sample of the cheddar jalapeno scroll was delicious but not sure I would purchase it for close to its $8 price tag. The staff were really kind and i'd definitely come back to try some other drinks!
