    It's our third time ordering desserts and would always be back even though prices are on the higher…read moreside. Ordered our usual take out: Carrot cake, Le Noisette, and French Pudding. All were deliciously! Great spot when looking for a delicious dessert/pastries while in UTC. Courteous staff on duty. Highly recommended!

    TLDR - All style, some substance. Everything from the exterior to the foods exudes a beautiful…read moreaesthetic but the quality aside from looks does not justify the price when there are comparable and more price appropriate dessert/sweets/cafes within a 2 minute walk Parfait Paris is an adorable patisserie/cafe at the utc Westfield. The staff is friendly, anything you buy looks gorgeous and the inside is immaculate. Ambience 9/10 Lunar New Year Croissant Described as a croissant filled with sesame and almond paste, this is a good but not great croissant. It has the layers, it has the chew, but it's no better than a croissant you would get at a number of other bakeries in the area. But those other bakeries are charging $4-7 instead of $10! The almond and sesame flavors were both very subtle and make me believe there is just a very minimal amount used in the recipe. Would not recommend even as a chewy over crispy croissant guy. 5/10 Creme brûlée latte Pretty much what I wanted without description. Creamy, noticeable but not overpowering vanilla flavor, and a lovely burnt topping for bitter balance. The coffee still comes through meaning this is a well crafted latte, not a dessert. This one actually comes at a pretty decent price too. 8/10 Yuzu & lime tart Their take on meringue pie is composed of a graham crust, yuzu mousse, and a meringue topper with a circle of lemon curd gel. To my taste, there is too much sweet on this plate, needing some balance of tart. But the textures of each component were on point: fluffy meringue, thick lemon gel, dense crust, and substantial yet airy mousse. Torching the meringue at home added a bitter element which I think made the sweetness more palatable. Would have liked the citrus to be more present. 5/10. All in all I would choose other sweets shops at most shopping centers than return here but for drinks this is a pretty good option.

    This tea/boba shop is located inside Westfield UTC. My friends and I went here while waiting for…read moreDin Tai Fung and thought it was pretty good. The wait wasn't too bad even though it was busy and they had a tree where you can write down wishes and hang them up. They were also selling really cute nail sets the day I was there, but I'm not sure how often they have that Strawberry yakult: 4/5 this comes with crystal boba as a default. I liked it but didn't love it as much as other strawberry yakult drinks that I've had

    They have a wide variety of drink options to choose from. During my visit, I decided to try some of…read moretheir most popular items: the Black Milk Tea with boba and the Passion Fruit Super Fruit Cup. Overall, I found their drinks to be on the sweeter side, so I would definitely recommend adjusting the sweetness level to your preference when ordering. The Passion Fruit Super Fruit Cup was my favorite, it was refreshing, flavorful, and perfect for a warm day. The Black Milk Tea was decent, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. Personally, I prefer a stronger tea flavor, and I felt that the tea notes were a bit too mild compared to the sweetness. The boba had a good texture, though, and the drink was still enjoyable. I would definitely come back, especially to explore more of their fruit tea options. If you enjoy refreshing and fruity drinks, this is a great spot to check out.

    We stopped in one evening for some after dinner drinks. Liquid dessert so to speak. Have to be…read moretruthful - wasn't a good experience. Started off good though. Lots of parking. In a plaza that appeared to be slow or dead leaving lots of space. I parked almost in front - just off to the side. Walk in and it's order at a kiosk. I get automation as it's something I do, I've done and will do as times change. However, I had questions and ended up just ordering something else as there was no human interaction to answer me. Place is deceivingly small - there are a bunch of seating - I wouldn't go in with a large group but definitely places to sit, chat or work on your laptop (saw several students? hammering away on their laptop keyboard). Not sure, but maybe they also offer WIFI.? Drinks seems watered down in my opinion. And I've ordered the same drinks at other locations and either the ingredients were off or it was prepared differently that didn't quite align to my expectations and taste. However, place was busy so maybe it's just how it's served as business was steady and I saw a few order the same as what I got. Don't live in the area so highly unlikely that there will be a return visit.

    Stopped by here on a whim and this plaza is awesome! I got the mango yakult drink and tbh the drink…read moredidn't taste like yakult at all. There was a lot of syrup in it and it just tasted like artificial mango syrup when I got it at 75% sugar. They might be using a different brand for yakult but for the prices that are being charged (avg drink is 6.75) they can have better quality. Maybe can try adding more natural/ house made syrup. But maybe it's one off and just this drink. I haven't tried the other ones but the Thai tea one looked pretty good. The staff is nice and welcoming and the vibe of the store is cozy a good study spot! Plenty of parking in the plaza!
