I stumbled upon this little gem leaving what was Majoria Drugs on Terry Parkway, now CVS. It sits…read moreamongst a cluster of other small businesses within a dated strip plaza across the street. I decided to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did. Their enclosed dessert bar will have your mouth salivating for a bite of each piece. I did pretty good though, I ordered a venti caramel frozen coffee with soy milk and OMG, it was absolutely delish! Then, as I was checking out, I was contemplating purchasing the creme brûlée layered pie. Needless to say, that contemplation lasted all of 3 seconds and I caved and bought it. Let me tell you, next to marrying my husband, this was the best decision I've made lol. Next time, I'm going to buy some macaroons, they looked absolutely divine!

This place is horrible for bubble tea. The menu is super confusing. The day we came, they ran out…read moreof tea so we couldn't get any of the tea drinks. We opted for a smoothie type drink with boba. The guy put boba in 2 of the 3 drinks and told us he ran out for the third drink. Why not measure it out before hand and let us know so we can decide which drinks get the boba? My husband got one of the Special T drinks and it was not drinkable at all. Tasted so artificial and super sweet. It's supposed to be a mango, pineapple and banana combo but not a single real piece of fruit was used. It was just syrup, what looked like jelly, and powders with milk and ice. So gross. Look at the pictures, all of the syrup settled at the bottle. It's half the drink. Never again. What a waste of money.

The inside always looks aesthetic and gives off a chill vibe. A great place to study, hang out, or relax. Since I'm currently cutting sugar for my diet, I just got their regular Hot Black Tea ($4.83 with tip & tax). Simple but tasty. Their Hot Chicken Panini ($13.00 plus tax) was really hot and tasty! Their Iced Mango Matcha is really popular. My friend got it, but I didn't try it because of my diet. Though, I will try the next time I come back. Overall, a solid coffee shop in the Westbank area.

They have k-pop music playing in the background as soon as you walk in! In this trip, I am only reviewing the drinks - we did not try food at this time. Their drink selection is vast, and all of the drinks seemed really interesting! We settled on the mango pomelo and brown sugar boba milk tea and it was pretty good, I could've used a less sweeter drink so I'll tweak that next time! Ordering process was thru a huge tablet and you can customize any combinations you want for your drink, it was easy to use. Service was good and friendly they call your name when your drinks are ready. I liked the ambiance of the shop I thought it was inviting and very k-pop ish.

Ordered delivery from this new bubble tea shop and I was pleasantly surprised to see their long…read morelist of Korean items like the cheesy powder chicken and the Korean hot dogs. The purple potato bubble tea with extra cheese foam was especially delicious and aromatic with the perfect level of sweetness (50%). I also loved how juicy and tender their boneless fried chicken thighs were. A low point would probably be the hot Cheeto 핫도그 (hot dog)--the initial spice flavor of the Cheeto dust was nowhere to be found and the entire coating tasted quite bland. Other than that, I would definitely visit this place in person to try more of their fried chicken flavors, along with their long list of bubble tea options.

Croissant D'Or Patisserie is located in the former home of Angelo Brocato's ice cream parlor…read more Angelo Brocato moved to a new location but its name is still in the tile on the floor at the entrance. This French bakery offers authentic pastries, hand-made croissants, brunch fare, & espresso drinks. The high-ceilings, white tile, and marble tabletops emit a European café vibe. There is also a charming courtyard if you want to soak in some sunshine. I first learned about this bakery when staying at the Hotel Villa Convento across the street. They served their buttery rich croissants as part of their continental breakfast. (I'm not sure if they still do.) Now that I have a house in the Quarter, I take a morning stroll over here to pick up croissants to take home. The butter croissants are a bargain at $3.50. I also love the chocolate & almond (both are $3.95 each), as well as the crisp & flaky Palmiers & delicate Almond Florentines. When I have guests, I bring them back a Ham & Cheese Croissant - a bargain at $5.50. They always ask me to bring another the next day.

Aesthetically it's amazing very glittery but it just wasn't outstanding taste wise. Cupcake definitely wasn't the freshest almost dry but not quite yet. It's my birthday so I would have loved my espresso in a ceramic cup but wasn't offered and I didn't want to rock the boat. Don't get me wrong the ladies at the counter are nice enough but as a consumer it's disappointing.
