I came back to Blossom to try their savory foods and they did not disappoint. The portions are…read morestill huge and the flavors were also on point Kuro Katsu (4.5/5): My first time trying a squid ink katsu! While the squid ink flavor is subtle, the meat was incredibly tender. The portion size was amazing!! Nabeyaki (4.25/5): A massive bowl with a light, refreshing broth that hit the spot. But I'd say the protein felt a little light compared to the amount of noodles and broth. Overall, a great experience. It's a solid local gem if you're looking for a filling quick meal in pal park

I fully understand inflation and how tough business is right now. That said, walking into a nearly…read moreempty restaurant on a Monday at 7 PM (fewer than two tables occupied--do the math) and being charged $23 for a small black sesame bingsu felt less like dining out and more like funding someone's life choices. The taste? Fair. The price? Absolutely unhinged. To top it off, they had the nerve to ask for a tip--for what, exactly? The privilege of eating overpriced shaved ice in a ghost town? Your Yelp reviews already told me what I needed to know. Good luck. You're gonna need it.

Their milk tea is literally too good!!!! I used to get the bubble milk tea with cheese foam added (30% sugar) and it was my addiction. After I became dairy free I switched to the mango green tea with lychee jelly (0% sugar) and am without regrets. My boyfriend also loves the breads especially the jalapeño cream cheese bread when it comes around.

Service was ok, when I had asked if the matcha latte had added sugar to it the girl said it's mixed with whipped cream and then proceeded to say "I don't know". Regardless I ordered the less sweet version as it was tasty, not too sweet which is how I prefer it. Good amount of tables inside and a few outdoors but it is a pretty tight fit, indoors. Parking is paid for in the back of the shop or on the street.

Today I tried Gateaux Bakery & Cafe after walking past it every time I'm here. Service (4/5): quick and efficient! No frills. Ambience (3.5/5): it's a food court so there's not much you can do here. Although the layout is satisfactory, I don't find the establishment eye catching when I walk in or out. Food (4/5): I'm hard to please when it comes to macaroons. I thought they were okay. However, the blended chai bubble tea was sweet and delicious! If you don't like your drinks to sweet, opt for something else. I would not go out of your way to come here but I'd definitely stop by if you're in the area.

The older lady at the front needs an attitude check…read more I got 9 items that I was splitting between myself and another family. While I was waiting I noticed they had cardboard boxes sitting out. After she handed me my order I asked if I could have one so the baked goods would be more presentable than just a paper bag when I gave them away. She immediately gave me the stankiest face. I even clarified that I would put everything in the box because I thought maybe she assumed I expected her to repack everything. But she still looked visibly annoyed while handing me the box. Do the boxes cost extra? Are they only for cakes or certain items? I'll never know cause she did not say one word she just looked at me dirty. Like dont make a face if you cant make a case. I was appalled, left absolutely speechless because I have never experienced that in my life. And if she so kindly told me the boxes cost extra, I would've gladly paid. If they were reserved for specific items, I would've said okay thats fine can i get another bag. That said, their baked goods are pretty good. I don't live nearby, so I only stop in a couple of times a year. I love the Gouda cheese bread but I don't think it's as good as it was a few years ago. They used to top it with chunks of Gouda, but now it's all melted into the bread. Maybe they changed it to use less cheese or maybe it's easier to make this way but I definitely prefer the old version. Great baked goods. Insane customer service.

Soufflé pancakes took ~15 mins but came out soft and fluffy The fromage (matcha + chestnut) looked stunning, with a unique honeycomb-like topping Overall, a great spot to chill, catch up, and take cute pics. Sad the shaved ice machine was down--next time!

I would say Service is pretty nonexistent as you order on the counter and you see yourself with no waitressing. The cashier lady was also pretty rude and not accomodating to my request (make my drinks less sweet) so they lose a store for that. Atmosphere is cute and vibes are great, definitely has modern and traditional Korean vibes. However, I would not say that this is like a traditional tea house? Having been to A LOT of tea houses in Korea, their menu and concept is definitely far from what a traditional teahouse is like. For instance, a traditional teahouse would have assorted rice, cakes and traditional, Korean desserts, however, I feel like this place used modern French pastries, and put a Korean twist on them, which I would say is not very Korean in reality. Baked goods were OK. It tasted stale. Losing a star for that as well.
