    Sesame mochi with red bean filling
    Ashley M.

    What a cool place! My girlfriends and I came here for dessert after enjoying hot pot next door. The interior is fresh, cool, and modern -- adorned with tons of light fixtures that give it a warm, welcoming mood. We arrived around 8pm on a Thursday and we were the only ones there. The lady behind the counter was super friendly and very patient with us as we studied their overwhelming menu. Since it was freezing outside, she suggested a few hot drinks we could try and even offered to make any hot tea warm. My girlfriends both tried the Honey Citron tea and loved it -- perfect for a cold evening! I tried a warm Thai Tea, something I've only ever had cold, and they did a really great job with it! Not too sweet, not too overwhelming -- just right! We tried a variety of small snacks: sesame mochi with red bean filling, green tea cream puffs, and of course, the tornado potato. The tornado potato comes with your choice of BBQ or garlic pepper seasoning. It comes out on a huge tray, and is very tasty although not too crispy. The cream puffs tasted store-brought and just sprinkled with green tea flavor, but the mochi was good. Great, fun place to hang out - can't wait to come back when I have a bigger appetite and try their Poke bowl!

    Mist Poke Dessert Bar rates somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me. In short, the poke bowls were great, the rolled ice cream was good, the potato tornado and smoothie were fine, and the light bulb tea was mediocre at best. Service was inconsistent for our large group despite the restaurant expecting us and having a full staff on-hand. However, I did appreciate the attention to detail in each poke bowl. Whereas many poke places will sloppily throw a bowl together, the folks at Mist carefully place each set of ingredients which resulted in some of the best looking poke bowls I've seen in metro Atlanta to date. And they're pretty tasty too. Mist opened in April 2017 in the Orient Center shopping plaza near the corner of Buford Highway and Chamblee Tucker Road. It's located next door to J's Mini Hotpot Deluxe. Both businesses have the same owners, Jay Xue and Lilly Zhao. Jay is the same J that J's Mini Hotpot Deluxe on Buford Highway and J's Mini Hotpot in Duluth are named after. Mist has a somewhat ambitious menu that tries to capitalize on many of the relatively recent Asian food fads that have popped up around town. They include the aforementioned poke bowls, pizza cones, and ice cream rolls along with sides like tornado potatoes and drinks like coffee, tea, and light bulb tea. With such a mishmash of stuff, I was skeptical of the quality. Fortunately, it's not bad and at times, quite good. The restaurant offers 5 different kinds of preset poke bowls priced at $12.95 to $14.95 each. You can also create your own poke bowl starting at $9.95 for a 3-scoop bowl and $12.95 for a 4-scoop bowl. Scoops refer scoops of protein like salmon, tuna, shrimp, tofu, etc. Many mix-ins and garnishes are included and premium toppings cost an extra $1 each. If you're trying to decide between a 3-scoop bowl and a 4-scoop bowl, the 4-scoop bowl appears to be a better value as you get significantly more food in the substantially bigger 4-scoop bowl. I had the Mist Signature Poke Bowl ($14.95) which comes with salmon, seared ahi tuna, Cajun shrimp, edamame, seaweed salad, cucumber, radish, red cabbage, fish roe, avocado, and crab meat salad. Since I'm allergic to shrimp, I had Lilly sub out the shrimp with an extra serving of salmon. Our group ordered several of these bowls and they were delicious. I was impressed with not only the colorful and beautiful presentation of the bowls, but the quality of the ingredients too. Everything was fresh and, for the most part, flavorful. I watched as both Jay and Lilly prepared various ingredients such as slicing open fresh avocados and hand-mixing poke sauces (which were very tasty, by the way). I enjoyed my poke bowl. It was satisfying. Everyone else seemed to enjoy theirs as well. Mist offers 6 kinds of pizza cones, from a Hawaiian pizza cone to a BBQ eel pizza cone and even a durian pizza cone. They're affordably priced at $4.95 to $5.95 per cone. The pizza cones are seasonal. We were told they're only available during the summer. This isn't noted on the menu and probably should be. The tornado potato ($2.99) is a deep-fried spiral-cut potato on a thin wooden skewer. This is a popular street food in South Korea. Mist offers the tornado potato in 2 flavors: garlic pepper and BBQ. We tried multiple orders of the garlic pepper and could barely taste any garlic flavor. Instead, the potatoes tasted like they were seasoned with regular salt. While the flavor wasn't what we expected, I thought the snack was still yummy and worth ordering. Check out the specials board. During our visit, we took advantage of their buy one, get one free banana and pineapple smoothie. Smoothies are made with real fruit and start at $3.99 for 16 oz. and $4.99 for 24 oz. Mixing 2 or more fruits costs more. Our smoothies tasted thin and a little watered down, but were also very icy and refreshing. Not bad. Coffee and tea start at $2.75 for 16 oz. and $3.50 for 24 oz. They have a decent selection of both milk and non-milk teas and toppings ($0.50 to 0.75 each) including more unique toppings like brown sugar boba and green tea jelly. Light bulb teas (tea served in a light bulb shaped container) cost $4.95 each. You can get any tea served in a bulb, not just the 3 they feature. I ordered one of the featured teas, the Blue Sky bulb tea with lychee popping boba. It was deep blue in color and had a fruity flavor. It was OK, but I personally didn't like it. It was too sweet for me. The light bulb container is more for the novelty than anything. Ice cream rolls start at $5.99 with select mix-ins and toppings an extra $0.50 to $1.00 each. There's a good variety of ice cream bases, mix-ins, and toppings to choose from. I tried one of Mist's 6 signature rolls, the Golden Gate, which has a Thai tea base with peach mix-in. I added coconut flakes, mango, mochi, and raspberry syrup. While the Thai tea ice cream didn't have the strongest flavor, overall, the dessert still hit the spot. I do recommend the ice cream rolls here.

    Mist Poke Dessert Bar is an East Asian cafe fare (bubble tea, matcha lattes & elaborate waffles) served in a hip, modern space. This Buford Highway counter serve swings seriously modern, from the minimal wood-lined interior to the social media-friendly fare, which ranges from trendy bubble tea (served inside a light bulb) and matcha lattes to elaborate East Asian waffle concoctions both sweet and savory. Such a cute and adorable place. The food and drinks are yummy to taste and served in a visually appealing way. I have tried their Mist Signature Poke Bowl which consists of Salmon, Seared Ahi Tuna, Cajun Shrimp, Edamame, Seaweed Salad,Cucumber, Radish, Red Cabbage, Fish Roe, Avocado and Crab Meat Salad. The food tasted delicious. This can be enjoyed as one dish meal. Then I had their Honey Lime Green Iced Tea which was perfect to taste. Cool place to enjoy board games and snacks with family or friends. Price is a little steep. The place is clean and spacious with great decor. Service was good and they gave us the coupons for Hot Pot next door. A must visit hangout place.

    Uber eats delivery bag

    I ordered through Uber Eats so I cannot comment on the restaurant and staff. Therefore, this review is only on the food. I ordered the garlic pepper tornado fries and vegan poke bowl. Garlic pepper tornado fries: even though not super fresh (that's what happens to fries when ordered to-go), were still flavorful and had an enjoyable texture without having to put in the toaster oven. Vegan poke bowl: I was slightly concerned about this dish, because the menu online states that it contains fish roe, and if so, then it could not be vegan; actually not even vegetarian. But to my relief, there was not a roe on the dish. I ordered half and half with organic spring mix and brown rice. I was pleasantly surprised with the freshness and flavor of the ingredients; especially since I ordered late in the evening. I did have to make my own concoction of a sweet and spicy Thai sauce to add some pizazz to the dish though. However, I did see online, that they offer sauce options. That will be the route I'll have to go next time. Overall, I would visit this place again and perhaps use the coupon they attached to the delivery bag.

    Rolled ice cream menu

    Want several Asian food trends at the same place? Then head on down to Mist Poke Dessert Bar. I ordered one of the Mist special poke bowls, the salmon one ($12.95). It contained salmon, edamame, seaweed salad, cucumber, radish, red cabbage, fish roe, avocado, and crab meat salad. The end product was quite colorful and worthy of a photo, especially drizzled with what I assumed was the house poke sauce, a pastel orange hue of a solution which contained a little bit of spice. If you don't feel like selecting one of the 8 special bowls, you can unleash your creativity by going with a custom bowl. There were almost too many choices which is one reason why I went with a special. I'm a poke newbie, but I found myself really enjoying my salmon bowl. There were lots of different textures and tastes, and all the ingredients were fresh. I can't say I noticed much fish roe, and the bowl could possibly be a little bigger, but I was very satisfied overall. The ordering system was kinda confusing and unclear. Apparently you choose and pay for most items unless you want a create your own bowl. For that, you have your bowl assembled first, then pay. And I heard from someone that pizza cones weren't available; they are only around in the summer. Seems weird, wouldn't a warm food be perfect for winter? And it took ages for us to get our bowls. Mist maybe needs to tweak their systems or something. You'll need to memorize the number on your receipt and listen carefully for it to be called. I didn't end up getting tea, but I did save some calories for the rolled ice cream ($5.99). Luckily there was no wait for that. I tried to be an edgy chef and daringly went with Thai tea with Oreos mixed in. Wacky, right? But surprisingly, it worked. The rolls were topped off with my choice of mango, strawberries, and coconut; you get three free toppings. If you're not up to whipping together your own concoction, there are 7 signature rolls to choose from. I was a little disappointed not to see my favorite drizzle, condensed milk, as a choice. Or at least it wasn't on the menu. The service was quite friendly and very welcoming. Parking is ample in the shopping center parking lot. There's free wifi, no password. Complimentary water and cups are located by the registers. I was given a coupon to try the hotpot restaurant nearby, J's Mini Hotpot Deluxe. I thought it was for 50% off and was all excited, until I looked closer and realized it was for 5% off. That's not as good. Anyway, I'll sure I'll be back to Mist for more poke goodness!

    This is a great place to hang out with friends and have a small snack. It's definitely not filling if you have a big appetite. I got a pizza cone ($5.95?) and a poke bowl ($12.95?). The sushi was semi fresh, but not the freshest I would say. They also initially gave our pizza cone to the wrong table and then brought it back to us... so that was a mess up. I actually thought the poke bowl was a little expensive for what you get, not sure if they've improved since I've been a couple of months back. They had just opened at the time. The interior is nice and clean since it's a fairly new place so it's newly renovated. The service was good and friendly. As far as food, it was just ok. I wasn't impressed to be honest. If you are a poke bowl connoisseur then this place is definitely not for you.

    The concept of Mist is a genius idea... in theory. Mist definitely fails at trying to provide too much in one place. I found this place on social media, and I thought it would be worth checking out since I love all the food that Mist offers. I mainly came for the poke bowl and was going to follow up with dessert. However, upon looking at the poke bar, I was already hesitant. The fish looked dried out and there were hardly any toppings. Due to my love of poke and because I was already there, I chose the eat it anyways. To my surprise, it tasted much better than I expected it to based on appearance. What disappointed me, however, was the portion size and cost. Not only was the employee pretty stingy with each scoop, but when I asked for a little more of a particular topping, he told me it would be an extra charge. An extra charge for just like maybe 5 more pieces of edamame? When the choice in toppings was already limited? You've got to be kidding. So then I proceeded to pick out other toppings, and he told me everything after that was an extra charge- which I'm assuming he told me that because I declined the extra charge for edamame. My friend didn't get the same luck and ordered a bunch of stuff before me from the extra charge section. But an extra charge for simple things like crabmeat, seaweed salad, masago, etc? Those are basic essentials at another poke location. Other minimal things were slow service, being out of a lot of things on the menu, lack of proper advertisement of the extra costs on the poke bowls, no apology for being out of so many things we asked about on the menu, and in general just not great customer service. Needless to say, I didn't end up ordering rolled ice cream after the poke bowls. I will say that this place was very clean and quiet though. I liked the dining area, and it would be a great place to come sit and hang out while snacking. The parking lot is large, and the menu definitely has a lot of different things to choose from (if in stock). Maybe I just came on and off night. Who knows. I can't say that I'll return though.

    So thanks for charging us $6 and making our lunch (supposedly cheap) $26. I don't mind paying extra for the items, but at least make it transparent. Don't suggest me more items to add w/o telling me it's an extra so and so. I think that's a really cheap way to gain extra marginal profit, and it just loses my trust and respect for the business.

    Thai Tea with Coffee Jelly
    Tiff H.

    Disclaimer: I have only had their beverages. I am just not impressed. They have quite a wide range of offerings that it was confusing. From poke to Thai rolled ice cream to bubble teas to crepes. It seemed like an odd hodgepodge of fad offerings. But I guess the shop name makes more sense now, as a snack and dessert bar. After dinner, we were already pretty stuffed, so none of the snacks really appealed to us. However, I did want something refreshing to cool my throat. I decided on a Thai Tea, with coffee jelly which is my standard milk tea order. It was alright, I asked for lighter sweetener and it was still pretty sweet. I did like the coffee jelly, though, as I don't know many bubble tea shops that offer that in Atlanta. I guess if I'm looking for a snack after a small meal, Mist has something for everyone. However, I don't recommend it if you're just looking for a beverage, as there are plenty of better options for that on Buford Highway.

    Regular sized poke bowl ($9.99)
    Fontaine C.

    Mist is conveniently located on buford hwy at the same shopping plaza as Pho Bac. I came around lunch time to grab a quick poke bowl to go. Mist is very quiet around lunch time. Atmosphere (4 star): Quiet, modern and clean. It offers free wifi for customers. Food (4 star): The regular sized poke bowl is extremely flavorful and large enough for lunch. The protein and all toppings are very fresh. Several toppings, such as avocado, crab meat salad and squid salad require $1 extra; which I didn't add. However, just the free toppings made my bowl very yummy. Drinks (3 star): I feel the drinks here is just OK. Kung Fu tea ones are much better. The detox water is plainly overpriced.

    Deluxe bowl (4 scoops: spicy tuna, smoked salmon, regular salmon)
    Suhana E.

    I came here for the first time based on reviews. I was craving poke bowl and this is very close to my work. It is located in the same plaza as Pho Bac, hence not a pretty plaza. Plenty of parking spaces though. The interior is very modern and clean. I love the design. They offer poke bowls, pizza cones, bubble tea, etc. It is a snack/dessert place. I ordered deluxe poke bowl (4 scoops). You choose the type of rice you want, proteins (spicy tuna, salmon, etc), toppings, sauces. You can mix up your proteins. I got one scoop of spicy tuna, 2 scoops of regular salmon, 1 scoop of smoked salmon (total of 4 scoops). I got all toppings and sauces. Deluxe bowl of 4 scoops is 12.95. Regular bowl of 3 scoops is 9.95. The food is excellent. It is very comparable to Poke Bar in Sandy Springs, however I think Mist has a bit bigger portion than Poke Bar's large size. Pricing about the same. Overall good food, cool atmosphere. I will return to try the pizza cone next time.

    Ordered: rolled ice cream (see picture for details of order) - $6.50 + tax + tips Ambience: small Asian desert shop. Glass counters to make your poké and your desert. Pay at the counter. Find yourself a table. Pick up order from the counter. The ambience is mid century modern. Leather and Edison bulbs. Kinda cozy. Very well lit though. The leather chairs are very comfortable, great lumber support FYI. They have larger king tables and some smaller tables. Board games are available but they are very messy. So you can't even find all the pieces to be able to play. Review: from my experience, I've seen that when food places try to do 2 or more the quality of the food isn't the best. They make poké and desert. It's good cause it's a one stop shop but I've tried their desert and it's okayish. Maybe their poké would be better, but I doubt it. Now, my rolled ice cream. It was more bland (less creamy or milky). The Oreo cookie felt a slight bit stale. Kiwis were fresh and good. Had a lot of mochi. All put together, it was okay. I may come back for poké but maybe not for desert.

    Poke bowl and potato tornado
    Trisha B.

    Mist is a casual snack place located off of Buford Hwy by Pho Bac, Viet Tofu, Hoa Binh Supermarket, and Orient Center. Mist's menu consists of poke bowls, potato tornados, and pizza cones for food. They also offer rolled ice cream for dessert, in addition to various kinds of teas (bubble tea, detox tea, and lightbulb tea). I've been here a few times to sample the different offerings. I've tried the lightbulb tea, bubble tea, poke bowl, and rolled ice cream. I have no complaints. Portions and pricing are comparable to competitors around Buford Hwy. I have yet to try the detox fruit water because for $4.99, it's a little too much to be paying for water, in my opinion. I plan on returning to try the pizza cone. Service is very friendly. It's in an easy to get to, quiet location. Perfect for a quick bite to eat or a casual hangout. You could even come here to study or do work. There are outlets underneath the seats. I gave them 4 stars because I didn't see anything special about it. They offer what many other places offer on Buford Hwy. Overall, I would recommend Mist.

I had my sights set on the Coconut Pudding. I wanted that Ube, but I was totally heartbroken because they were already sold out! I ended up pivoting to the Mango version instead, and it was incredible. The staff was cheerful and very apologetic on the sold out Ube. Such a sweet helper. The best part? They use fresh mango and no added sugar, so it doesn't taste artificial at all. The coconut pudding itself was so silky and smooth. Literal perfection. If you're looking for a healthy dessert spot that actually cares about quality ingredients, this is it. I'm so happy I found this gem today. I'll definitely be back for UBE! #ashsaidit #TeamoDoraville #AtlantaEats #BobaLife #HealthyTreats

    Came here for the first time last night and came away with a good experience…read more Note: TE'AMO in Doraville is not the same as Teamo in Sandy Springs. TE'AMO is located at the same address as Kanpai BBQ and Shabu Shabu, and Lao Szechuan, in the very popular Asian Square. There is a big shared parking lot, but there are so many businesses sharing it that parking can be a little challenging at times. Fortunately, last night was not one of those times, maybe because it was still Thanksgiving and maybe most people were at home experiencing food comas. TE'AMO is the first business that people normally see as soon as they walk through the front doors, since it's directly facing the doors. The signs are huge, bright and eye-catching, and don't display any prices. The one sign that caught my eye before walking through the front doors said that there was a special - basically buy two drinks and get a third one free. This sounded great to me, since there were two of us and I was going to pay for two drinks anyhow. The two employees working were very helpful. We were originally ordering at the front counter, but were told that we could only get the buy two drinks get a third one free special if we used the order kiosk. Uh, OK. I was looking for two specific drinks for myself - a boba milk tea and a lemonade. The other drink ended up being a boba milk tea. The list of available drinks is long, and the employees were very happy to come around to our side of the counter to help us find the drinks we wanted to order. There were lots of varieties of drinks on the menu that I immediately stopped looking as soon as I ordered my two drinks - T-Original Fresh Squeezed Lemonade and T-Classic Organic Milk Tea. The service was quick and efficient. When the cups were given to us, although they looked cool because they were different, I was actually disappointed that the drink cups were sealed with an aluminum pull tab lid, the same kind that are found on the tops of soda cans. In my opinion, the pull tab lids on the TE'AMO cups were more difficult to fully remove and once the lids are pulled off the liquid can get splashed around in your vehicle if you're on the go. I also thought the price points were a little on the higher side than their competitors. The flavors of my lemonade and the boba tea were good. The boba here had a nice chew but it was a little sweeter than I prefer. There are tables and chairs to sit at inside, but I would not recommend coming here in a large group and staying to enjoy your drinks (or mochi donuts that they sell from a clear display at the counter).

The rolls are priced around $2.50 each and were soft and fresh. I went with the red bean bun and taro bun. Both were buttery and delicious, although they could use a little more filling. The store is small so there is more limited options compared to the larger bakeries, but I love supporting a smaller business and they still have a nice variety.

    One of my friends recommended this spot, and I really didn't know what to expect--but she hyped it…read moreup, it wasn't far, and I figured why not? I'm so glad I gave it a shot. For $26, I got a ton of food and 90% of it was absolutely delectable. And I say that with an 8-year-old in tow who enjoyed it too! Let's start with the never again item: the Flossy Bun. It's a popular Chinese pastry made with soft, sweet bread filled and topped with sweet and savory pork floss... allegedly. There weren't any descriptions, so I looked it up online. But let me tell you--no. Just no. I don't get how it's popular. Definitely a cultural preference, and it's not for me. I even paused mid-bite hoping I'd grow into the flavor. Nope. Then there was the Coffee Butter Cream Pastry. I thought at the very least my fiancée would like it since she enjoys coffee flavors. That was another miss. I even gave some to two little ones, and the faces they made reminded me of the time I tried canned octopus. That's how bad the flavor was. But now to the good stuff--because the rest? Fire. BBQ Pork Bun - Yummy! Not packed with meat, but enough to enjoy and super easy to pull apart. I really wish they offered a heated option for this, because that would've put it over the top. Japanese Milk Cream Bun - Super creamy. I do wish it had just a little more cream inside, but the bread was so soft and delicious, I honestly didn't care. Hot Dog Cheese Bun - I got this for the little one and I've never seen a child eat something so fast. I'm taking that as a solid win. Egg Tart - Grabbed this from the front warmer after watching another customer snag one. I had missed it earlier. Not totally my thing on its own, but when I got home and added a little chili paste? Devoured. Hong Kong Boba Milk Tea - I went with this instead of the brown sugar version and kind of regret it, but it wasn't bad at all. All in all, the prices are great, the flavors were mostly on point, and the man at the register was super friendly and open to answering questions. Yeah--I'm sold. Looking forward to coming back!

    What a cute place! I came here for a boba craving from a friend's recommendation. They have a lot…read moreof different options that I can't find in other places. I got the Tipsy which has peach and lychee flavor and pieces in it which was delicious with boba. The boba was cooked perfectly and the quality of the cup is amazing and designed beautifully

    Glaze Tea is superior to Molly Tea. 100%. Not even a question for me. Very similar aesthetic with a…read morefocus on floral drinks, but Glaze Tea absolutely wins in my books from a flavor and boba standpoint. The tea is stronger and more potent, but still delightful. The boba has great texture and the brown sugar actually adds a dimension to the drink. They have sooo many interesting milk tea options - they have some "safe" options like their Mediocre Latte (basically just a house milk tea), and the Amber (closer to brown sugar milk tea), but I would encourage you to try their floral drinks! I've tried the Glaze, the Moonlight, the Amber, and the Pink Sunset, and all were phenomenal. I really really hope that Glaze Tea gets the recognition it deserves. To top it off, a while ago, I hosted a blind boba taste test with about 10 other friends. We got the most basic milk tea each shop offered from all over the ATL area, and Glaze Tea was ranked #1 out of 10 other spots. We included milk tea from other recognizable spots like Greatea, Chi Cha San Chen, Tea Top, Kung Fu Tea, etc. I was personally shocked when it was revealed that Glaze Tea was #1 because I had just never really come/none of my friends talked about it, but since then I'm a Glaze Tea believer. My only note is I typically get 75% sugar at boba places, but I actually do 100% at Glaze Tea. There is a 5% discount if you pay with cash. Plenty of indoor seating, but they keep the store a bit chilly, so bring a jacket if you get cold easily. Service is fast! No 15+ minute wait times or lines out the door.

    Just wanted to shout them out for the recent Halloween decor they put out in this establishment…read more Very spooky and on theme as they changed their overhead monitor menu as well. This place is also a great place to study with wifi, clean solo bathrooms, and snacks and drinks to enjoy while you lock in. OR you can take a study break and enjoy the restaurants around which include Arepas, Tacos, and Korean Tofu soups. Parking is plenty in the parking lot as it shares with other restaurants in the plaza. Staff here is very kind and friendly. Service is pretty quick and efficient. This place has been my consistent spot for my Board Game friends as we gather here weekly. Food and drinks are ok. Be aware that in order to use card, you must spend at least 8$. Makes it a little annoying but I understand so when coming here... plan to order more for a friend or order a bite with your drink.

It was very sugary kinda syrupy - I'd recommend getting less sugar with it or just going for the brown sugar if you want something sweet. I had both the iced and hot Thai tea. Surprisingly, the hot Thai tea was pretty good. The iced one was still really sweet. Service was quick and it was fairly busy for a weekday night - most tables were taken by students with their laptops out so it's a great study place! Free parking in the lot.

It's a light color bun with black sesame seeds on the outside with taro and mochi inside. It was my first time getting this and wow! I am truly blown away by it and will be getting this every time now. I also was specifically looking for red bean mochi, which they had. It was green tea mochi with red bean paste inside. I love getting these from different places and this is honestly the best one I've ever had!! It's $8.50 for a pack of 4 and totally worth it. Truly so delicious. The taro butterfly is as yummy as always too! I also love the ambiance here. They have lots of tables with plenty of outlets and a jug of water to get as you need. I think this would be a perfect spot to work from and I cannot wait to come back.

A lot of places don't have the choices of the jellies that they do. It's always packed and there's a reason for that because the stuff is great! Even if it doesn't taste great on the dessert ends, it looks great. You have to know what to get. I enjoy the custard tarts a lot. A lot of the desserts aren't sweet enough for me. Their bread is good also. I normally don't buy it there, but I did as a gift for someone and they really liked it. I love that it's self service and you can look at everything on the way, but maybe have more descriptions next to items that are unfamiliar to most Americans. Also, they should have a happy hour with discounts on their stuff or a late night discount. Or a drink and dessert special. Their food is not good. I mean they're cooked food like they're chicken. They should stick to what they do well desserts
