My recent visit to the National City, Plaza blvd location was such a treat and I was absolutely *mad* for everything I tried. lol! So I had the Tiger Boba Latte --also known as the "Brown Sugar Boba Latte"--and it was so good. The brown sugar syrup brought the perfect depth of sweetness, not overpowering but just enough to make each sip rich and satisfying. The boba pearls were the highlight, absolutely *perfect*. Unlike the often hard, chewy boba you might find at other places, these were fresh, warm, and soft, bursting with flavor. They had that wonderful melt-in-your-mouth quality that makes you keep reaching for more. This drink alone is worth the visit. If you love boba, you know that the quality and freshness of these sweet tapioca pearls is everything. *chef's kiss* And speaking of must-try items, the Ahboong (the Korean fish-shaped pastry) is something you have to try. We always get at least two during our visits, and for good reason. The soft, golden pastry is filled with the most indulgent, smooth filling. It's the perfect sweet bite. If you've been to Somi-somi, these are similar, if not better. But the true crowd pleaser is the Nutella Taiyaki. If you're a fan of Nutella, this is the one to get. The taiyaki (the fish-shaped waffle cone) is warm, golden, and crispy on the outside, while the Nutella filling inside is hot, rich, and gooey--melting with every bite. It's a little messy but totally worth it. Ok, it can get really messy if you're excited to eat it like I was lol. So make sure you grab enough napkins. You can also get them filled with different flavors, like custard, but come on, you know Nutella is where it's at! All in all, Mad For Cheesecake has something for every sweet tooth, from its drink offerings to pastries. It's not just about cheesecakes (though those are probably excellent too, I'm gonna try it next time!), but the whole experience is what keeps me coming back. Highly recommend visiting for a sweet, satisfying experience you'll want to repeat again and again.

Talk about a nostalgia plot twist. I came back hoping for the same Filipino sticky rice desserts I…read moreloved as a kid, but my taste buds were left wondering if they remembered the wrong place. The puto was more firm than fluffy, and the sticky rice cakes were on the hard side too. They weren't terrible, just not memorable enough for a return trip. Honestly, the only reason we stopped by was because my daughter was craving them. One thing that hasn't changed? The service!!! The titas were just as unwelcoming and unfriendly as I remember from childhood, so at least they're consistent w that, I guess. Overall, I really wish the desserts had aged as well as my memories.

The bakery is inside Seafood City Supermarket. They have cakes, cheesecakes, breads, cookies and…read moremany other (Filipino) baked goods. I came here especially to get an Ube cake; I wasn't sure which one yet and they had a few different ones. There was an Ube flan cake, an Ube cheesecake and an Ube Yema cake. Not knowing what a Yema cake was, I asked them how it compared to the other 2 cakes and he told me that Yema cake has condensed milk and I was sold! The ube yema cake turned out to be amazing! It was moist, full of ube flavor and definitely not one to keep around if you have weak self-control like I do. Now I want to go back there to try the other Filipino snacks that I didn't get to buy the first time.

I was browsing for a while until I finally came across these guys on Facebook! I'm so happy they came up on my feed. Booking them was easy, everything that was included was explained to me.

The churros were being fried fresh for my hungry guests to consume. Now I've had my fair share of churros and I gotta say, these were the best I've ever had. Hot, fresh and not keto friendly. Worth every calorie. The guys making them told me to try one with a scoop of ice cream and this bomb homemade strawberry sauce they bring. Life changing!!! All the guests at my party said this was the coolest and best thing ever. Honestly, you're not gonna find better than these guys. Churrolicious is amazing and sure to make your event 10x better. Thanks guys!!! Can't wait to book you for future events.

Thai tea Smoothie - 3/5 Same thing with the sweetness, it could use a bit more. Tasted watered down after a few sips and needed the bobas sweetness to carry the flavor of the drink. Boba was not fresh, can tell we got the bottom of the barrel since most pieces were hard in the middle but we did come an hour before closing so that can be a reason why. In my opinion its a hit or miss but employees are friendly and they provide quick service, I appreciate that they have a good amount of baristas making drinks.

I got myself a Chocolate Croissant and an Iced Sea Salt Caramel Coffee (Medium Size). I figured the chocolate croissant would be good to take on a walk so that it would become all melty! The sea salted caramel cream coffee on the other hand was lacking that depth and lush you'd get from actual caramel. It tasted like they used a pump syrup instead, very artificial. I wanted more salt in this drink as well. Other than that, it was ok, esp for the price. I'd prob get the original sea salt cream coffee next time. There are a few tables inside (chairs minimal) and some outdoor seating. Lots of space to park.

Wth? **the next day I went to another 85 location. I realized the National City store gave me a medium sized drink and it wasn't a large. Large is the only size they sell this drink in. The drink I bought from the other location was noticeably larger and topped off. National City is ripping customers off.**

Very welcoming and fun ambiance here. Really friendly staff that was patient while we asked questions about the menu. Unique drinks on their signature bev menu, and tasty looking bites as well. We ordered an iced buko pandan with oat and an iced IPA latte with oat. Drinks came out in glasses since we were hanging out for a bit, and they were killer! Really great flavor profiles in each respective drink that showcased the subtle nutty-sweet flavors in pandan and the complex layers in an IPA. Highly recommend giving these drinks a try! Look forward to visiting again soon to try out more of the menu!
