What better way to wrap up a Mother's Day hike than with a round of drinks for the whole family --…read moreand Truewin Tea Shoppe delivered exactly that. We rolled in with a group and ordered 10 drinks total, which the staff knocked out super quickly without missing a beat. That kind of speed with a big order is always impressive and very much appreciated when you've just worked up a thirst on the trail. I can't remember every single drink we got but I can tell you everything was delicious across the board -- no complaints from anyone in the group, which is a win when you're ordering for a crowd. The standout for me was definitely the Mango and Pomelo Sago as it was refreshing, flavorful, and just the perfect post-hike treat. Sweet, fruity, and hits different when you've earned it. Truewin Tea Shoppe is a great spot and the perfect way to end a Mother's Day well spent. We'll definitely be back!

Update: Tried the date cake this morning and it turned out…read moreto be the standout from yesterday's haul -- well done! The cake itself is delicious, but what makes it interesting is the type of fruit they use -- not Medjool or the usual Middle Eastern dates, but jujube (often called Chinese dates). That choice gives the cake a gentle sweetness with a subtle smoky note that sets it apart. Feb 21: For our first visit, we ordered quite a spread: the chocolate mochi bun, honey osmanthus cake, jujube cake, a loaf of chocolate bread (because there's no such thing as too much chocolate), and the pork floss with salted egg bread. The concept behind the pastries was appealing, which explains why we bought so much on our first trip. That said, the execution felt a little uneven. The osmanthus notes in the honey osmanthus cake didn't quite come through, the chocolate bun lacked depth of flavor, and the pork floss with salted egg bread turned slightly burnt even though we followed the heating instructions. Still, we were glad to have discovered the bakery. It's definitely worth a try.

On Thursday at noon, I walked into an empty cafe. One of the two shelves in the refrigerated…read moredisplay were filled. It held more savory items like cold sandwiches and bread with pork floss. I decided on the taro cheesecake. On the counter there were more bread-like products such as matcha loaf and more items with pork floss. I chose the red bean loaf. The red bean loaf was what I expected. It was like many other red bean loaf. The taro cheesecake were bite size. It wasnt sweet or dull. The taro seemed like real taro. It was more of a sandwich than a traditional cheesecake slice. Overall, I could see someone returning for their more savory items. My first impression and experience arent enough to drive myself to be curious for wanting more. P.S. egg tarts are available saturday and sundays

Both the sweet and savory pies are delicious, and I like that they rotate their menu with a mix of classic and more unique flavors. It makes it fun to keep coming back and trying something new. Some of my favorites over time have been the chocolate chess, cheeseburger, and berry custard pies. All very different, but all really good in their own way. Would recommend this spot to anyone looking for pie!! There are honestly not a lot of places around that you can get crafted pies from, so I think they fill a niche market here - a market that I am certainly a part of.

Tastes like how a pot pie should be. It was great on the go since I was chowing it down while driving to my next destination. I got some slices for myself to try, French silk chocolate was good. Unfortunately, it was melting (my bad) when I finally got to eat it. Chocolate whole pie for others. Got other slices for friends to try and they enjoyed it. Pandan had a nice flavor, they don't use extract which is even better. Lemon chess was good - great lemon flavor and creamy. Will need to get French silk again to eat it as soon as possible or keep in fridge when ready to eat, haha.

Immediately upon entry, you can see the huge display of neatly arranged donuts, malasadas, and pastries and they all look amazing! So many flavors to choose from that it was a little overwhelming. As others have said, the price point is around $5.50 per piece so have that in mind going in. Ordering was simple enough and servers were kind and patient. Parking is maximum 3 hours and there are some tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy your goodies. Overall, I think I'm still going to stay loyal to Doughweime in Union City, but these malasadas do live up to the hype. Everything bagel malasada: Surprisingly really good, a light cream cheese filling with everything bagel seasoning on the outside. And the texture of the savory donut was crispy and airy. 9/10 Strawberry cream malasada: Kind of plain, would've been good with strawberry bits inside. 7/10 Biscoff cream malasada: You can taste the real Biscoff crackers in the filling. 7.5/10

AFTER DINNER EVENING DESSERT…read more I been here several times. If I have a dessert craving most of the time I go to Feng Cha Teahouse after having dinner at home. My first time I went here the first drink I ordered was a hot ginger milk tea, which has a spicy yet soothing texture. Most of the drinks I've ordered from Feng Cha Teahouse are dirty boba drinks. The consistency of these boba drinks isn't too watery. Also in terms of the flavor the dirty boba drinks isn't too sweet that you can get a sugar rush. There are several boba drink places that serve food. What makes Feng Cha Teahouse different from other places that serve food is the milk foam cakes. I could be wrong, but I don't see milk foam cakes sold at other boba places. The milk foam cake served at Feng Cha Teahouse is light and airy. The flavors of the milk foam cake provide a texture similar to cheese souffle. My favorite milk foam cake at Feng Cha Teahouse is the sea salt pearl. It's like dirty boba on a foam cake. I don't come to Feng Cha Teahouse every time after dessert however if I have a craving after dinner I'd come here for the dirty boba and milk foam cake.

Instead of getting 1 flavored cake, she had 5 different croffles :) Location: Croffles & Co can be found in the Newpark Mall. Super happy that they take DoorDash orders! Pricing: ~$6 per croffle! Super affordable, especially in comparison to HHD where 1 croffle is double the price! Service: I ordered through DoorDash but was happy to find each croffle safely boxed up and labeled. My croffles came in 1 big bag that was sealed to ensure they were packed safely! Food: I wish I had eaten them freshly made, but even after a few hours, we ate every bite! The croffles were thick but not dense! Nice and fluffy, and did not harden over time. Delicious batter dusted with powdered sugar! The whipped cream was very light, airy and creamy! Oreo - If you have a sweet tooth, this one is perfect for you! With Oreo cookies/crumbles and chocolate drizzle all over the croffle! Matcha - Earthy and bold, but not bitter Matcha! Creamy and not grainy! Nutelle & Banana - A classic combo and favorite! The perfect amount of nutella over fresh bananas! Biscoff - Our favorite of the night! It's as if you're eating a giant Biscoff cookie because its flavor is present in every bite! Delicious! Strawberry - Another classic! Tart but not overly sour strawberries. I enjoyed this for my last bite as the strawberries and cream were very fresh and light!

The mochi balls, weren't very soggy and they had the perfect chewiness to them. The mango sorbet was nice and creamy even thought was perfect. It was absolutely delicious. Perfect summer dessert. People working there were very friendly and patient when I asked them numerous questions about the menu. They made good recommendations after they figured out what I would like. It's a cute little store with enough seating for 20 -30 people. It's has a fresh nice and sunny feel and I love the ambience with the mango decor.

It's super cozy but still feels modern, definitely somewhere you can hang out for a while. I do want to note, on some tables, you cannot have a lap top all day on the weekends and after 4PM on weekdays (probably prevents people from staying for hours on end on busier days). I got the iced Qamaria latte (extra sweet) and my cousin got an iced caramel macchiato, and both were really good! Mine was smooth and very fragrant (cardamom notes mostly), which I appreciated, and the macchiato had a nice balance too. Both 5/5 We also tried the rose milk cake. It had a really light rose flavor and wasn't overly sweet, which made it easy to finish (we almost wanted another one). They had other flavors too like Pistachio, Saffron, Biscoff, etc. and some other pastries. Overall everything just hits, drinks, desserts, atmosphere. Would definitely come back again!
