I woke up with a very specific craving for mochi, and my dear husband gave in and drove me 20…read moreminutes to Crystal Bakery. We ended up getting two strawberry cream mochi, one mango cream mochi, and the mango pomelo sago. The sago was definitely on the expensive side for the portion, but it absolutely hit the spot and satisfied the craving. The mochi was the real star. The outer layer was soft, chewy, and pillowy, while the filling was light, creamy, and not overly sweet. The strawberry cream mochi tasted fresh and delicate, and the mango version was rich, fruity, and refreshing. Each one felt like biting into a little cloud. The mango pomelo sago was creamy and packed with mango flavor, making for a nice contrast to the mochi. Not exactly an everyday treat given the prices, but for a special craving, it was worth the drive and I'd happily come back.

mango mochi lived up to the hype!! i appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet but not bland either…read more loved the cream that's in it. this is probably a me thing but it seemed more sticky than what i'm used to for mochi texture... like possibly underdone? also got the lychee milk tea and it was okay! i should've gotten it at 25-50% sweetness level but it wasn't anything special store seems understaffed so i will give them grace but it took a very long time to get my order as well as pay for an additional pastry right before i was leaving. there was a period where no one was at the register for a good while

I was on the hunt for a delicious hot latté with whole milk. I twisted my own arm and ordered a delicious looking lemon and ginger scone to accompany the latté. The ambiance is inviting, welcoming you to relax and breathe restfully. It exudes notes of namésta : ) I opened my book and enjoyed my latté and the warm scone (Time to breath out a nice long ooohhmmm). The latté was ecerything I could hope for, but wait there's more. They serce the latté frothy just like a traditional Itlian serving. I like it creamy with a heart - I'm sensative Jesse said, next time it will be ceeamy All I had to do was put on my big boy pants and ask for it that way : ) I can't wait for my next visit. Secret tip, Jesse suggested, try the beef bun, next time.

To make matters worse, they didn't have any black tapioca! The employees offered the weekend only dragon fruit tapioca. The dragon fruit tapioca was surprisingly decent. Especially compared to Gongcha, which also offers dragon fruit flavored tapioca. I was still disappointed by the lack of regular black tapioca when it wasn't even close to closing time. The interior is crowded. And there was only one stool to sit on for customers while they wait. But there's plenty of places to sit outside.
