We loved the ambience and the new aesthetic and branding, so very unique and PURPLE The strawberry matcha takes you on a hero's journey of sorts but I'm not sure if the perils of mixing it up is worth the outcome (for me at least) It was a bit bland and more the concept of matcha than the taste of it. But the pistachio matcha. she might be the one. She spoils you from the first sip until the last. So good and green really compliments green I also respect that the drinks weren't too sweet at full sweetness it's rare

I have seen this place all over social media and I had to stop in and give it a try! I personally…read moreordered the Toasted Banana Bread matcha, and overall it was well made. I did not expect the banana bread portion to be as chunky and slimy as it was, and I couldn't use a straw, but the actual flavor was nice. Not sure I would order it again. My favorite drink was that of one of my friends, who ordered the lemon cheese cake. It was phenomenal. Perfect lemon flavor and a subtle sweetness, I will be ordering this next time! The service was quick, and staff were very kind and answered any questions I had. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere inside, it was vibrant, had a very beautiful bar right in the center and had lots of choices for seating!

Mango Yonami - awesome mango sort of smoothie loaded with toppings and mango bits. 2. Ube halo-halo is just this explosion of multiple diff toppings. Two thumbs up. 3.

I RARELY give 5 star ratings. But everything about this place was just right!…read more The drinks/food: Let's start with the scent of doughy & crispiness in the air from the moment I walked in. Must have been from the waffles & although that's not something I'd normally consider ordering, one whiff & I was craving them sooo bad! Not to mention that the prospect of exciting versions of them (like Pandan or Ube) made me want to ruin my dinner plans. So after I gained some self control, I ordered what seems like the healthiest & lighest drink up there. It just happened to also have all the flavors of things I adore. The Bambu Special is coconut meat, pandan jelly, brown longan, basil seed (think similar to a chia seed) & coconut water. All this with a crushed ice ball on top. Wow!! So subtle yet flavorful at the same time. I can't wait to make my way down their entire menu . The service: Another wow! The woman behind the counter was so nice & helpful. I mentioned how I like that it's a Vietnamese drink shop & she mentioned that her sister (I think an owner) & herself were both from Cambodia...one of my favorite places I've traveled to. It all made sense as the kindest people in all my travels were in Cambodia. She gave me future recommendations & I promised to return! The atmosphere: Clean, bright, variety of styled of seats, couches, high tops, & greenery walls that have cute neon signs. Wish this place was closer because it definitely had a coffee shop vibe. As a boba addict, I think I might have to pick this place over all the amazing boba options in that area & that's saying a lot! Please go try these goodies for yourself & support our local business owners!

They're very open to and welcoming to feedback, with us being regulars they check in on us quite often about the quality of the tea, the straws, and everything to ensure we continue coming back. They're incredibly kind, generous, and make DELICIOUS milk tea. Our favorites are the chocolate milk and the dirty black milk teas. I have no doubt little moon will continue being a columbus staple and will always strive to improve under such great ownership.

Upon entering, it seemed like it had potential as it looked pretty cozy. The barista was nice and our drink came out quickly since we were the only ones there. The biggest issue I had with this cafe was the seating and cleanliness. When looking for a spot to settle down my things I found that there was a lack of outlets in all the spots I was looking. I went over to the other side by the window and the table was filthy so I chose not to sit there. It must have been left over from the night before as we arrived shortly after they opened. Upon further inspection, there were stains on the seats, peeling paint, cobwebs, and crumbs. The place is cute when you get a first glance but if you look closer it's not very clean. I would not come back.

I like how you can alter the amount of sweetness on any drink. Their ordering system was weird this time. Everyone stood in line by the register to order (because that's where the machine was this time) instead of ordering at the register. It made much more sense when it was towards the opening of the store & you could pick how you wanted to order. They're too busy unfortunately to ask any questions, so you better know what you want! The game machines were a nice touch & I wasted a few dollars on that while I waited.

It was a bit off putting but I stuck around and ordered the halo halo. They have their speciality drinks with photos and descriptions along the wall. Those were helpful as their website was unreadable with what was in each dessert. The halo halo was delightful. It has a lot of flavor and some different things in it that have not been in other versions at other restaurants. It is a bit pricey but is larger than expected, which was nice and much more worth the money. I will go back and try some of the other desserts. They do have seating inside, but I got mine to go.

I liked that they had a kiosk so I could take my time going through the options. We clarified with the person making the drinks that the drink we got included boba because it was kind of unclear on the kiosk. Overall pretty good size for the price especially since nowadays boba can be around $8-10. I thought the flavor was good and the boba texture and flavor was perfect. It's definitely on the sweet side but that's probably because of the specific drinks we got (brown sugar). Would come again!
