    Easy to order drinks from the kiosk! Drinks: I got a jasmine tea with the sea salt foam - the foam was tasty, but the tea was very "geep", like it was steeped way too long and had a weird gritty texture in my mouth. my sister got the peach drink with osmanthus jelly - she thought it was a bit watered down enjoyable ambiance, but I personally wouldn't revisit based off of drinks alone. I'd come back to try the bingsu though picture- one of the drinks only offered 0%, 100%, or 125%, so my dad opted out of getting that drink haha

    I tried the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea and it just didn't taste good, similar to other places that have a powdery, artificial flavor. Maybe the bingsu is better but the milk tea isn't great.

    Thai Tea Bingsu

    The best spot in Elk Grove for bingsu! First time trying the thai tea version and the boba that came on the side was a little stale. Otherwise everything else was really good. Flavor and texture was A++. The place was packed on a Friday night and we had to be quick to get a table. It gets pretty noisy! Also please be patient if you order bingsu! It seems like it takes a while to make and they seemed understaffed. Don't forget to tip!

    Small cafe serving drinks and bingsu. You order at the kiosk and wait for your name or number to be called. We ordered halo halo bingsu and 3 drinks - ube taro deluxe, guava goddess and butterfly white peach lemon sparkling. Halo halo bingsu was just okay. Shaved ice is light and milky and lychee jelly was good but the canned jack fruit wasn't a good match. The ube cream did not even have the slightest hint of ube flavor. Could do without the marshmallow fluff topping. Similar experience with the ube taro deluxe. No hint of ube but the taro was very good. Guava goddess and butterfly peach was super yummy and tasted like fancy mocktails. Highly recommend these.

    Bru Tea's bingsu is so good! I've tried almost all of their bingsoo flavors with my cousins, and they're a great size for sharing. Bingsoo flavor ratings: * 7/10 Strawberry Matcha * 7/10 Thai Tea * 9/10 Mango Coconut The service is always great, and it's a fun spot to share dessert with friends and family!

    Disappointed to drink a clump of matcha powder, they don't seem to whisk it through a sieve like Rang coffee does.

    This review is for the Jasmine matcha hot with foam and 100% sweetness. The tea is bitter. The matcha is not dissolved- see picture. Did not see option for changing milk. There are lots of topping options. Store looked clean with plenty of seating as I was the only customer on a weekday afternoon. Parking lot available. I ordered by the tablet even though they have a register I was not greeted by the employee. Payment was easy via credit card. The wait was not long. Hope to have better experience coming back for bingsoo.

    Bru Tea has been on my to try list for a while and I was worth it! We walked in and ordered at the kiosk. They had different teas, bingsoo, and grilled cheese. Ordering was easy and we got the Halo Halo Bingsoo. There was a little wait while it was being made. Once it came out we instantly loved how the bowl was overflowing. The snow was soft and silky, and all the toppings paired so perfectly. And then the hidden flan in the middle made it over the top. It was the ideal dessert on a hot day.

    Found a sweet escape at Bru Tea Cafe. From refreshing fruit to decadent chocolate, their bingsoo game is strong. Not a fan of shaved ice? They have a full menu of milk teas and fruit teas, too. The Lineup: * Mango Coconut Bingsoo: House-milk snow topped with fresh mango, mochi, coconut, sliced almonds, and vanilla ice cream. So light and refreshing! * Chocolate Brownie Bingsoo: A chocolate lover's dream. Loaded with Oreo crumbles, sliced almonds, brownies, chocolate sauce and ice cream. * Creme Brulee Milk Tea: The caramelized foam and brown sugar boba are the perfect pair. The space is cozy and pristine--perfect for a quick catch-up. Plus, the staff is super accommodating! You order at the kiosk, and they even have a bell for assistance. Would definitely come back!

    A really nice and cute boba shop. They offer caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks. They also offered snacks and desserts. You order at the kiosk and they will call your name when it is ready. I have tried few different drinks so far. Each drink, I had the sweetness level adjusted. I am so glad their drinks are not overly sweet. Some other boba places, their drinks are still too sweet even though you have the sweetness level adjusted lower. I tried the coconut coffee, lime orange tea, Hong Kong milk tea and banana cinnamon einspanner. All really good. The drink that stood out the most was the lime orange tea. It was really refreshing. This will be a good choice during summer. Service was nice and friendly. Looking forward to try their other drinks next time.

    Pretty tasty and fast service. It's a small place but still has plenty of seating. Cant wait to try more of their drinks

    Mango Coconut Bingsoo.  ;-)

    Never disappointed with order, service or vibe. Their shave iced desserts are just amazing. Just enough sweetness, gorgeous to look at, and the lack of guilt having such a delicious and tasty dessert because it's shaved ice, right? It's just within walking distance, so another guilt-free reason to support this local business. Yes, encourage you to run, not walk to taste and experience what I can't fully describe.

    Life is short... Eat more bingsoo ! This is my favorite place for bingsoo in Elk Grove! I will make the drive every time for a sweet treat. There's some seating inside and outside. The drinks I've tried have all been yummy as well. Staff are always kind and attentive. Casual after dinner hangouts or even midday catchups are great for this spot ! I will be returning over and over and bringing all my friends here. Thank you Bru Tea !

    Stopped in Fri night for something sweet. Ordered the mango coconut bingsoo. You order from the kiosk. The bingsoos here are huge! You can definitely share them. Loved the mango & wish there was more little mochis. Staff were friendly. It wasn't busy when I arrived but shortly after the place filled up.

    Every time I come in, my drink never seems to be made consistently. It's either really bitter, not sweet enough, or overly sweet.

    Interesting place but not to our taste…read more We stopped by to get a thank you gift for someone at the Elk Grove dealership. The donuts are definitely pretty, colorful and unique. The injections or syringes full of sweet fillings are quite novel. Kids love 'em. I know they were super popular when a student's parent brought Bad Bakers donuts to celebrate their birthday. So presentation wise, they have it down. Taste wise, ugh. Texture is all wrong and way too sweet. I grabbed an old fashioned donut to take home and by the time we got home, it felt all mushy, unlike old fashioned donuts at other shops. You know it's bad when the donut sits around at home untouched by everyone! But I'd say it's a good place to go for maybe kids, teens and younger customers who just want a cool-looking donut and some sugar. Our gift recipients thought they were super cool though. I kinda mumbled under my breath that they look amazing but not sure how great they taste (having tried the Roseville location in the past). Neat place but not quite our thing.

    Given them a couple tries but it's just not for me. It's waaaay too sweet and some of the flavors…read morearen't so good. I don't like the gimmick of squeezing your own jelly/jam into the donuts. It's wasteful and inconvenient when you are trying to eat on the go.
