The cozy, clean space features nature-inspired decor, including wooden tables and chairs, tea-themed pictures on the walls, plants, and Taiwanese touches. They also offer non-tea treats like egg pancakes and wheel cakes. You can customize your drinks with different sugar levels for the perfect flavor every time. Most tea offerings are iced, but hot options are available upon request. - Iced Red Bean Sago Latte: This creamy, red bean bingsu-inspired beverage features chewy sago for added texture. The earthy sweetness of red bean perfectly balances the rich milk. - Hot Taro Latte: Made with real taro root, this latte is thicker and chunkier with a natural, mellow sweetness. It boasts a rich, earthy, and nutty flavor, avoiding artificial purple-taro notes.

I usually go here for fruit tea, but they were doing a buy one get one free for their new latte…read moreseries which included the black sesame latte and the mung bean sago smoothie. The black sesame latte is pretty good-- it has a strong black sesame taste as well as the little black sesame bits. It's pretty simple as it's mainly milk and black sesame. It's really hard to find any here so I'm very happy that they brought this out. The mung bean sago smoothie is a classic Chinese dessert but in drink form. It is such a good dessert! I was very happy with both drinks, even though I know that they're better known for their fruits drinks. Service was fast and their bathroom is clean. It's really nicely decorated with comfortable chairs and a good amount of seating. It's a really good place to do some work.

It's got a good amount of seating, as well as a bunch of games (video, card, and board), so it's great to unwind and hang around for a bit. The service is quick, and the employees were incredibly patient with our large party. The issue I have here is with the drink itself. The size is good for the price you're paying, but it was way too sweet. I ordered a strawberry lychee tea with lychee jelly at "less sweet," but it tasted as if it were at full sweetness. The flavor was fine, and the texture of the jelly was nice, but I can't imagine what this would've tasted like without the adjustment. Though I think I'd give it another chance if I were back in the area!

The store has spots to sit down but the tables are extremely wobbly and dingy. No music or anything playing inside either so it's very quiet. Almost too quiet and spooky quiet. It didn't help make the time pass quicker waiting for the drinks. My favorite out of all 3 was the sparkling lemon iced tea. Think lipton lemon tea with sprite. Very sweet even at 50% less sweetness level. Just warning yall! Parking is free and Amex taken. It's located right next to 99Ranch. The place only opens after 12pm.

I haven't had Ben Gong in four years, but I remember liking their tea cubes topping and oolong milk tea. OSAMANTHUS OOLONG MILK TEA - 5.70 +1 for tea cube +no ice, 30% sugar A bit too sweet, but I'm not sure if I would enjoy 0% sugar though. The tea cubes didn't have the strong tea flavor that I remembered, but I love the light chewy texture and prefer it over tapioca. The milk tea was decent, but not a very strong tea flavor which is more of my preference. Overall, I enjoy Ben Gong's Tea more than some of the local options in the area, but I will take the big Chinese chains like HEYTEA and Shuyi over Ben Gong's any day.

The amount of boba/bubbles you get are plentiful and I think some places don't give you much either. For me I just wanted to try one of the special items. I got the Strawberry Matcha with Sakura Crystal Boba and it wasn't too sweet nor it was not enjoyable. The crystal boba is interesting as it doesn't have the tapioca taste but more akin to jelly. Matcha is one of my favorite flavors so when paired with strawberry syrup and milk, you really can't go wrong with it. Since it's close to my work, I guess I can always do a second visit!

However, I love the decoration, the customer service and the extensive menu, which is the reason for the 4 stars. I originally stopped by to eye the menu and plan my post-lunch coffee-time dessert. I let the barista know that I'll be returning but will order something simple. She suggested the cortado and I said yes immediately, and asked for iced. It was perfectly strong and not watered down. Fast forward a few hours, I returned as promised and she remembered me. We decided to order 2 mochi donuts and a few drinks: -chocolate and cinnamon/sugar donuts -red velvet latte -hazelnut latte -regular latte One thing to note is that she couldn't really describe the drinks. For example, I asked her if the red velvet latte tastes like chocolate or just sugary (since it's basically red-dyed chocolate) and she had no idea. I asked her what are the top drinks (besides what was shown on the board) and she couldn't answer that. But she was friendly. The donuts tasted a little stale and the chocolate frosting was definitely a little too hard. The cinnamon toast crunch was a cute touch to the donut, but again was stale. I wasn't a fan of the red velvet latte, it was pure sugar and aside from the intense pink color didn't taste the way I expected a red velvet cake to taste (most likely because the cream cheese is important to the flavor). The decoration and swag for purchase are all show-stoppers, perfect for photo ops or even social media. They have a cute little photo booth inside as well. There is plenty of seating available. I can't say that I'd return as I'm not a big mall person and wasn't too terribly impressed with the donuts.

Drinks: Sea Salt Coffee OG is bold and intense in a good way, about a 4 out of 5. Great if you like strong coffee flavors. Banana Coffee Latte is made with real bananas, which is a huge plus, but a bit overpowering at first. Pro tip: ask for less sweetness. Both drinks got way better as they diluted a bit. Service was quick and efficient even with a short line, and the staff was friendly and on top of things. Overall, a great late night social spot with EDM music, comfortable seating, and creative drinks. Perfect for hanging out with friends!
