It comes with very cute star-shaped mango jelly and heart-shaped strawberry jelly. Reasonable prices, and the baristas are very quick at making drinks! Lots of students come here to study or hang out. It was a little crowded, but not too noisy of a spot. Very casual café spot and a great option to hang out with friends.

While visiting Madison, my mom sent me on a special mission to Le C's to satisfy her sweet tooth…read more With a specific request for "mouse cakes", I decided to visit on a busy Badger football game day. The staff was friendly and welcomed me as soon as I walked through the door. The glass case containing artistic sweets was a welcome sight. I opted for strawberry and black forest cherry mouse cakes along with a few egg tarts. The goods were then packed in a giftable box. I didn't have a chance to try their milk teas or matcha drinks, but they certainly look tasty. Prices for their gorgeous sweets are steep, so be prepared. Le C's teats would make a wonderful, unique gift. Most importantly, mom's sweet tooth was "extremely satisfied" with the goods :)

Cool place to meet up with friends.

It was pretty expensive but really well done. I wish I could come back and try more items but I was unfortunately only in town for an event.

We stopped in for a midday pick-me-up and were greeted with a menu that felt more like a mood board: vibrant, customizable, and full of refreshing promise. I ordered the Mango Watermelon Iced Tea, which arrived crisp, fruit-forward, and exceptionally balanced. It wasn't overly sweet, and the watermelon notes didn't overpower the mango--a rare achievement in fruit tea profiles. My favorite of the visit, though, was the Moo Long Purple specialty drink. A layered beauty with oolong tea, lavender undertones, and rich purple hues that swirled like a galaxy in a cup. It had a soft floral fragrance and a creamy finish that made each sip linger just a second longer than expected. Staff were quick, friendly, and familiar with their blends--offering insights on flavor pairings and boba textures. The shop itself was clean, cozy, and a sweet retreat from the bustle of State Street. Whether you're looking to sip slowly with friends or grab a colorful Instagram-worthy drink on the go, Sencha delivers more than just tea--it delivers an experience worth repeating

I had the Salt & Crispy Popcorn Chicken, and it was good. I also tried their Iced Taiwanese Milk Tea, but unfortunately, it was way too milky for my taste. I prefer the darker, richer, and more bitter style of Taiwanese milk tea, so this one didn't hit the mark for me. Ended up tossing a good portion of it, which was disappointing. The tech ordering screen was super convenient and made the process smooth. Plenty of seating inside, but it was a bit humid, which wasn't the most comfortable. Overall Service: There wasn't much direct interaction since everything was done through the tech screen, but the staff did call out my number and it was a pleasant interaction. Quick and efficient!

Such a cute restaurant on State street! Nice place to hang out and get a quick meal with friends…read more We got the tainan braised pork over rice, the fried chicken cutlet curry combo, crispy salty popcorn chicken, and deep fried tofu braised pork. All were very good, but I liked the braised pork the best! It was so flavorful and delicious, I only wish the ratio of pork to rice was more balanced. Both of our bowls were left with a lot of rice when we were done eating, which I hate to have go to waste. The two sides were really good, I always like taiwanese popcorn chicken and this was excellent! I didn't know what to expect from the tofu, but it really was a crispy block of fried tofu with a scoop of the braised pork on top, delicious! Service is fast, you can order at the kiosk or at the window. Utensils / napkins / water are self serve and you bus the dishes in that same area. I will definitely return when I am in the area!

Pistachio one was my favorite. There were many Asian ice creams. Propitious mango was a good one. There were a lot of small food places in the food hall. I tried food from a lot of different places. The food hall had a lot of seats, and was neatly maintained. It was never crowded. Kawasaki is close to the entry of Global Market. So the first time I was there, I went straight to this place. I had a Chicken katsu rice bowl. It was one of the best food I had in the food hall. Display had some very delicious and cute cakes. Next time I should try some of that. Taiwan Street has nice pho and bubble tea. I went for a pistachio milk shake, without bubbles. It was good. But I think I should have really went for a pho. They have a lots of sweets in display. I went for a peach swiss roll and a sesame ball. Both were good. From Dumpling House, I went for a chicken and mushroom dumpling and chinese chive pie. Both were good . It came steaming hot. I think I should have gone for some of their more favorite items like chive and pork dumpling. From Nice Flavor Stir Fry , I went for a sauteed sliced lamb with cumin. Generally this is a really flavorful dish which you cannot go wrong with. But it wasn't as good as I expected. Flavors were off, and the quality fo meat was not as good as I expected. Stir fry chicken mei fun was my favorite item from Bowl Bowl Rice. It came hot and was flavorful. I also had a tea leaf flavor egg. It was just $1. But it came with egg shell. I had to peel it. Egg was slightly less flavorful than I expected. Mochi donut is the main item in Glazed. There were some food items as well, but I didn't find takers for that. I went for 3 donuts - Oreo, honey dew and churro. The flavors were all interesting. May be oreo was my favorite. Donut texture was more chewy. From S&B Hmong Kitchen, I went for a fried rice from this place. It was flavorful. Cilantro and scallion on top gave a nice flavor kick. From Poké Mì, I went for a drunken noodles as my entree. It was not as good as I expected. Flavors were off. May be I should have gone for bahn mi. I haven't seen sugar cane juice anywhere else in Madison. So went for one. I thought it was just ok.

They have a live seafood section in the back as every Asian grocery store should. The adjoining food hall is such a nice surprise! Like a mall food court but with all Asian food. It walked around multiple times just to decide on what to eat. Then picked another stall for homemade yogurt and boba drinks (Taiwan deli). Service is standard Asian service - minimal but adequate. This is such a gem in Madison. I will be back!

3.5 stars. First time I stopped by the shop was quite dirty but looks like they are more on top of…read morethe cleanliness these days, which is great. Got a strawberry pineapple fruit boba tea, garlic egg cheese toast and two soybean donuts. Egg toast remains the star of the show for me; buttery, thick garlic bread with a thick omelette, melty American cheese and a slightly sweet sauce. I'm used to egg toast being a little sweet from my experience with them in Asia, so I didn't mind that at all. Soybean mochi donuts were solid. Strawberry pineapple fruit boba tea was refreshing but didn't wow me. This is the second time I've gotten a fruit tea from here & the fruit always tastes like it been sitting, aka not fresh. Could be much better. Service was limited and fine. I'll be back for an egg toast & donuts. I'll probably pass on the tea next time.

Their vibrant interior is coupled with some pretty nice drinks - I actually quite liked the osmanthus oolong. The mochi donuts were unfortunately a bit lackluster - they were served room temp (some places serve these slightly warmed), but they also lacked that characteristic chew of a good, fresh mochi donut. Overall, not a bad place for tea, but maybe there's a different snack that would strike my fancy.

Strawberry lemonade with mango jelly The drinks were fine - thank goodness they give you the option for level of sweetness. How can anybody go with 100%??? We all got 50% and the slushy and lemonade were sweeter than we cared for. The most unfortunate part was giving my order to somebody that apparently hates their job and didn't know anything about their drinks. I asked about the Kung fu Honey tea and the Winter Melon tea - they just shook their head and said they've never tried them. And, somehow, their energy made ME feel stupid for asking! How the heck did that happen??? Anyway, the drinks were made swiftly, and weren't terrible. I'm just going to assume that this would have been a 4 star review with a different server.
