I tried a brown sugar latte decaffeinated, and went with a little less sweet than normal based on the recommendation. It was a beautifully poured latte and quite delicious.

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.

The staff overall seemed unhappy…read moreand unwelcoming, and one employee repeatedly made me feel like I was in the way the entire time I was there -- which was less than 5 minutes. While I was getting bread, I was asked to move aside so they could restock, which I completely understood. Then while waiting for my drink, I was told to step outside, which I also understood. But when it was finally my turn to get my drink, I was asked to move away yet again because they needed to return the bread bin to the baking area. I understand employees have work to do, but the repeated interruptions and tone made the experience feel uncomfortable and unfriendly. Hoping management can look into who was working around 4 PM today and improve how customers are treated.

Wushiland is a good go-to spot and they have many locations all around California, especially…read moreSoCal. This location does not have any seating so I would not plan on sitting down and getting work done. BUT, it is located inside the mall with plenty of seating. My go-to drink at this place is their Green Milk Tea. The drink is so smooth and satisfying, but definitely more milk heavy, but you can still definitely taste the tea. A lot of people like their pearl (mini boba) because they are the only place I know that has the mini boba, and I like that you can put it in the fridge and it won't get hard. Parking: UTC mall parking, free the first hour

I decided to get the strawberry matcha latte. Nice flavor and creamy consistency. For a single scoop at $7.95, it is quite pricey, especially for the size of the scoop (as I've been to places that have been more generous in portion). However, I would say it is worth it if you are trying some of their special flavors, as you may not find those that easily at other ice cream shops.

They have always been fast here, at least what I have experienced, but this was definitely the record. Our drinks tasted amazing too! I had the strawberry matcha latte with soy milk and my friend had the strawberry lemonade. I loved both but the strawberry matcha was perfect. I did get it at 50% sugar, and it was still very sweet. I would go as low as 25% next time because the sugar with the strawberries did overpower the matcha, but again still delicious. I don't think you could go wrong with ordering anything off their menu as it's always delicious.

The storefront is nice, and there's a decorative tree where you can hang notes with your wishes, which is a fun touch. They also had a random pop-up press-on nail setup inside, which was unexpected but interesting. We ordered the special boba milk tea and the jasmine boba milk tea, both with golden boba. I usually order light ice and 50-75% sugar. The special boba milk tea was sweet and tasty, and the boba itself was semi-sweet, but the tea didn't taste especially fresh. The jasmine milk tea, on the other hand, was more subtle in sweetness and tasted noticeably fresher and cleaner. One thing I did notice was inconsistency in the boba texture--some pearls were quite firm while others were very soft--which made it feel like there may have been a mix of freshness levels. Overall, pretty good tea, but a bit of a mixed experience when it comes to ingredient freshness and consistency.
