The employee also recommended the Matcha Crème Brûlée donut, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. The custard filling was overwhelming and overpowered the donut itself. At $7.50, I expected a better balance of flavors and a higher-quality pastry. For me, it just wasn't worth the price. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the drinks, but I'd probably skip the donut next time.

The server welcoming us was the sweetest, explaining everything they offered and sharing us dessert samples to try before we placed our orders. We got to try their Ube and Pandan creme caramel, Ube cheesecake, and the #1 Ube upside down pie. Our fave was the last one, basically solid creamy custard with legit ube flavor, topped with crumbs. Such a dangerously addicting treat!! We went all out with ube that day, getting Ube horchata and Ube cream top cold brew for the drinks. I would say the drinks weren't as hooking, but I would easily come back for their desserts.

Last month, after running errands in the area, I stopped by Craft Tea House for caffeine. The…read moreshop's located in a small plaza with limited parking. When I arrived just before 10am on a Saturday, there was a staff member and a customer, so I didn't have to wait long to order. Inside, there was a couch and a few tables for seating, and the background music was great - very chill vibes. I chose the Mango Pandan Latte ($6.75). It was creamy, fragrant, and balanced the flavors of mango and pandan very well. Minutes after I received my drink, the staff member brought out another drink for me. They said that they re-did my drink because the first one didn't have sugar, which was kind of them, but unnecessary. I preferred the first drink because it wasn't as sweet.

We were in the area taking care of some business and weren't familiar with any coffee shops nearby…read more Since we were on our way to the freeway, we mapped the closest coffee shop to us and Craft Tea House popped up. We decided to stop and give it a try. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical at first because I'm not a fan of sugary coffee drinks or coffee made with condensed milk. I love espresso and prefer my coffee strong, with an actual coffee flavor. Since it was 106° outside, I was definitely looking for something cold, so I decided to order an iced Americano. They have a huge selection of teas and plenty of iced drinks, so there are lots of options if you're more of a tea person. I also appreciated that they had a low-carb option for my coffee. I ordered mine with Splenda and asked for a splash of half-and-half. They didn't have half-and-half, but they offered heavy cream instead, which worked just fine. The person taking our order was super nice and friendly, which was a great first impression. The only downside was the wait. It took quite a while for our drinks to come out, and unfortunately, the shop was extremely hot inside. It didn't seem like the AC was running, and with it being 106° outside, standing around waiting for our drinks was definitely uncomfortable. Once our drinks finally came out, though, I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered two iced Americanos one with brown sugar and one with Splenda and my coffee was really, really good! It had the strong coffee flavor I was looking for and wasn't overly sweet at all. We also ordered a chocolate milkshake, which my son really enjoyed. Overall, I'm glad we decided to stop here. I went in expecting more of a sugary drink-focused place, but the iced Americano was actually really good and had the bold coffee flavor I like. The service was friendly, and there are tons of drink options. Hopefully they can improve the AC and the wait time, because otherwise, I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

I was genuinely excited to try this vendor at the Ube festival in Cerritos, but this ended up being…read moreone of the most disappointing food experiences I've had in a long time. I paid $32 for a small cup of fried items and $15 for a halo-halo drink, and neither came close to justifying the price. The fried food was dry, bland, and tasted like it had been sitting out far too long. There was no freshness, no flavor--just oil and disappointment. For that price, I expected something at least memorable... it was memorable, just not in a good way. The halo-halo was equally underwhelming. It was noticeably watered down, lacking the rich, creamy flavor you expect. Again, for $15, that's pretty unacceptable. What makes this more frustrating is that this was at a festival, where vendors should be putting their absolute best forward to attract new customers. If this was their "best," I'd hate to see what a normal day looks like. Between the high prices, tiny portions, and poor quality, this felt like a complete miss. I don't mind paying premium prices at events--but the food has to back it up. This didn't. I wouldn't return, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

The prices are not commensurate to the type of strip mall and overall valley location that the spot is in. Also, the churros took 10 minutes yet somehow tasted stale and lacking cinnamon. This place might be for those that like to make their life hard...those that expect a treat to have drawbacks...those who enjoy paying more for less. Admittedly, good churros in the valley are hard to come by. Churro Man sucks, and Junior's Churros switched over to catering because they were the best on the streets. Come here if you don't believe me, but I promise you won't be back.

My items were hot. Location is at a strip mall, lots of parking. I got the Cinnamon Sugar Churro with sauces to go. I would have wanted to stay, have a coffee and play a game or two, but I had to get home so I placed my order to go. The place looked so fun, a place to hang out for all different ages. I saw vintage toys and items for sale; the place looked like a wonderful place for a collector to have a great time adding to his or her collection. The place has cool vibes. Next time I'm in town, I plane to enjoy my Churros inside. Cheers!~

My hubby and I were helped by Jasmine, who was welcoming, sweet, and very friendly. She gave us Dubai chocolate samples, and then little sample cups of the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup topped with baked Filo dough for crunch. We wound up sharing the large Dubai chocolate strawberry cup for $18. The strawberries were plump and sweet and fresh. The pistachio cream was rich and delicious. The chocolate was melty, and as we ate, hardened into a nice little shell. The shreds of baked Filo dough gave it a very nice crunch. It was really fun having a parking lot picnic! You couldn't ask for a friendlier or nicer employee than Jasmine. She really sold it! This isn't something you eat every day because it's extremely rich, filling, and admittedly, quite expensive. But I could see myself getting a hankering and going back again one night when I'm in the mood for a sweet Dubai chocolate strawberry cup.
