This nicely-sized boba shop is so perfect for a sweet treat after Capt Loui. The decor is cute and…read morehas great soft lighting for good vibes, and cute photos. We went about 20 minutes before closing and I believe the owner was working alone that night. Sweet old lady. We ordered a bubble milk tea, avocado tea slush, and a grapefruit tea slush. I can tell by the taste that they use quality ingredients when it comes to their fruit based drinks. Grapefruit slush was refreshing and not too sweet. The avocado tea slush was new to us because it had that distinct fresh avocado taste, but it's not creamy, rather more on the tea side. We're used to Khmer spots that have avocado smoothies with the condensed milk and all that, but it tasted very good. The milk tea was more on the creamier/milkier side, I couldn't really taste the tea. The boba was a bit hard on the inside, but it was to be expected because it's the end of the day. In all, I would definitely come back for the avocado tea slush, and also try some more new items from the menu!

They offer a variety of iced drinks including milk tea drinks, tea drinks, fruit tea drinks, cheese foam tea drinks, fresh fruit tea slushes, cheese foam fruit slushes, plus nutella crepes. They were using Hood whole milk. I stopped by Yuki Bubble Tea during the grand opening and the place was getting slammed because they were offering BOGO free drinks. The standing and seating areas were busy. I ordered the Medium Taro Bubble Tea ($6.45 plus tax) and a Medium Tiramisu Milk Tea ($6.45 plus tax/actually free). Orders were backed up and they already ran out of several ingredients. They substituted white pearls for the black pearls in the taro drink, which I okayed. My order number was called ready in 28 minutes after ordering. The taro bubble tea drink was not the light purple color I'd expected, but a light brown color iced milk tea drink. This drink was sweet and cold and the substituted white pearls did the job. The tiramisu milk tea had a bit sweeter flavor than the taro milk tea drink and topped with a cool foam. I added some of the white pearls from the other drink to this drink. Overall, both cold milk tea drinks were okay. The staff was trying to rush things due to the crowds in the store.

New City Microcreamery is small, but there's room for several tables if you want to lounge and have your ice cream here. The young girls are helpful and pleasant and didn't hold back on samples. I stepped away from my usual go-to chocolate and settled on a scoop of pineapple and a strawberry. For some reason, whenever I see those two flavors, I have to get them together. My kid chose salted caramel(?) and another flavor(?)- but both were really good as well. My only thing is that while the flavors themselves tasted fresh, the texture of the cream wasn't silky smooth. I totally get that my 2 flavors had fruit chunks in them, but even the cream felt a bit lumpy. That said, the strawberry tasted like strawberry, the pineapple tasted like it and my daughter's too. To also add- there was no hint of freezer burn at all.

Came here for the first time with a group of friends after dinner. Hubby and myself each ordered a…read moresmall cup. My flavors were black sesame and cookie dough ice cream. Total for 2 small cups came out to approximately $15 (not including tip). What's Hot - Quality. Delicious. Wonderful flavor and not too sweet, which I definitely appreciate. The black sesame flavor I ordered was subtle, exactly how black sesame should be. The dough in the cookie dough ice cream was a good texture and not goopy. - Variety. Awesome! I was pleasantly surprised they had a black mochi flavor, which is rare. There were standard flavors like cookie dough, strawberry, cookies and cream, etc.... There were additional flavors that are not common, including kulfi, which includes pistachio and cardamom. Their staffers also told me that certain flavors, like black sesame, are seasonal, so something to be aware of. They also sell pup cups (yes, for your pet), pints, quarts, ice cream cakes of small, medium, and large sizes. - Cost. For 2 small cups at $15 is not unreasonable, especially given the quality of the ice cream. - Service. Pretty good. We were able to ask for samples before we made an order. My friends and I were there on a relatively busy evening. When my husband and I asked for specific samples, their staffers talked to each other to ensure who was helping whom, to streamline service and our orders, which I found very helpful. All the staffers I talked to were sweet and helpful. When I asked them questions about specific flavors, they had answers, including providing me contextual information. - Layout. There is indoor seating, including tables and chairs, and high bar seating area. It's spacious enough inside to accommodate customers whether they stand or sit to eat, including just looking at what they have. - Location. Fairly easy to find and conveniently located to other shops and restaurants. - Parking. There is street parking available and parking lots nearby, but availability will depend on day and time you come. What's Not - Acoustics. They play music at a relatively loud volume. Noise carries easily inside. As such, it's difficult to hear others, including having a conversation with those you are with. - Parking. There is street parking, but availability will depend on the day and time you arrive, so be prepared to not find parking; spending time looking for parking, and; walking. Final Answer Definitely a place worth returning.

Love Rancatore's, a local icecream and frozen yogurt spot that I have come to since I was a kid…read more They have rotating homemade flavors so you can always enjoy something different. There's classic flavors like cookie dough, but also more unique ones like ginger snap molasses. Today I tried the cocoa joel--chocolate icecream with chocolate chips and oreo pieces. It was creamy and the oreo pieces and chocolate paired nicely together. I usually like getting a cup or cone, which sizes range from micro to large. Or if you want to get a frappe you can do that as well! They also sell pints to go and ice cream cakes which is a nice option. A little pricey but it's homemade so you pay for the quality. Sometimes there is a line but usually it moves quickly. Lots of seating inside or you can take it to go and eat outside around the center if the weathers nice. Pro tip: They have complimentary magnets you can take one as a souvenir!

Their buckwheat milk tea was delicious as well (not too sweet and had a delicate milky flavor). Their brown sugar boba is perfectly chewy but tastes overly sweet since they're coated in a lot of brown sugar syrup. You may want to tone down the overall sweetness levels of your drink if you opt for their brown sugar boba. Otherwise they have great drinks and nice staff. Will definitely be coming back whenever I have a boba cravings.

Located on the strip of restaurants on Moody Street, I was hoping for a refreshing drink to get rid of the mid-afternoon slump. They also serve food ranging from meals to snacky food if you want to hang out with friends. I ordered the strawberry pomelo sago, and my friend ordered the mango pomelo sago, which are the top 2 most popular drinks. I was highly disappointed when I took my first sip, as the strawberry was extremely artificial tasting. The mango was slightly better, but still didn't taste fresh. With the variety of food around Moody Street, I'd recommend trying a different place instead of coming here.

I really wish this place was more of a *real* ice cream shop. The fact that the ice cream counter…read moreis never staffed (you have to get the coffee shop workers on the other side of the wall to assist you), is Big Clue #1 that something is awry. Big Clue #2 that they're not a *real* ice cream shop: I think their ice cream has been sitting around in those freezer chests for a long, long time. My scoop of pumpkin very well might have been left over from last year (it was both chewy and crunchy), and the consistency of my chocolate chip scoop was not much better. Plus, it literally (and I mean literally) only had two chocolate chips in it. Two! In an entire scoop! The last time I had ice cream here (probably a year ago), the quality was fine. Perhaps it's the same batch--just a year later? Who knows. Big Clue #3: Coffee shops and ice cream shops really are catering to different clientele--who'd like to patronize said businesses at different hours. Who ever heard of an ice cream shop that closed at 6pm? I really, really, really wanted to fall madly in love with Sebastian's when this place first opened nearly two years ago. I totally envisioned myself hunkered in at one of their tables, a bowl of artisinal ice cream laid out in front of me while penning my very own heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Oh well . . . I'm not going to blame Sebastian for my writer's drought, but I do take his name in vain each and every time I find myself succumbing to Friendly's. Grrr.

Great new place and looks closed from the outside (due to the dark tint) but is a beautiful space of dark wicker chairs and granite tables with local art featured on the birch paneled walls. All the ice cream is churned out by hand and homemade. They use fresh fruit (and offer more fresh fruit toppings than Lizzy's albeit less dry toppings like KitKats, Oreos, coconut, etc.).
