Addicted to the brown sugar with fresh milk boba!…read more Im usually a fan of tea at half sweet, because calories. But I will splurge and devour the brown sugar fresh milk boba. Perfect dessert. So many tea and milk tea options. Along with topping options too. Sugar is adjustable as is ice level. They also have cookies, small snacks like macarons or chips. Fun board games available for those who want to hang. Totally recommend.

The Brown sugar milk tea w/boba was good nothing out of this lair. Taro milk tea with lychee jelly was actually very refreshing. The lychee jelly gave it a nice touch. The Thai Tea with Brown sugar boba was probably the least favorite and we love Thai Tea. 5/5 Service We took a bit to order since we were looking over the menu. The drinks took a bit to get out as we played a few games of connect 4 before having our drinks ready. 5/5 Ambiance It's a smaller boba spot but they do have a few tables and some high tables. They have board games in the corner for you to sit and enjoy your drinks. 4/5 Parking Spots up front but limited. You may have to park away. There's a gas station next door and a restaurant. We got a spot right up front this time. 5/5 Likelihood to Return Overall a pleasant experience and we look forward to enjoying more drinks at the Lair soon. Psalm 115:1, God bless and Stay Prayed Up

They also use Häagen-Dazs ice cream as a topping! A friend recommended this spot, and even on a Wednesday night it was packed. It's located in the same plaza as Chubby Skewers with a large shared parking lot, though the plaza itself can get busy. Ordering is easy through the self-service kiosks, and they also have a rewards program. The staff was incredibly friendly. My partner decided at the last minute that he wanted to add their mini pearls, and they happily accommodated the change without any hassle. I got the large macchiato (around $6). I would've liked a stronger tea flavor, but considering the price point, not bad. The mini boba wasn't my favorite, but if you plan on adding it, I'd recommend asking for light boba unless you're a serious boba lover. My partner's drink was probably close to 40% boba, which was a little much for our taste. Just know this is strictly a grab-and-go kind of place. There aren't any indoor tables, although plenty of people were hanging out with their drinks outside. Likely would come back to try their other drinks!

The Hojicha Pudding in the Iron Buddha Oolong Milk Tea is a solid standard. But the Ube Taro Mochi Green Milk Tea?! HELLOOOO. Hella yum! I got both at 30% sweet and 50% ice, and I'm so glad I did because it balanced the pudding and that rich ube taro mochi paste perfectly. I fear full sweetness might be a little much, but I'm an old Asian who believes desserts should be "not too sweet." Lololol Service was friendly, the shop is cute, and I loved the cute lighting and tea wall. I live about an hour away and I would genuinely consider making the drive back JUST for this tea!

FYI- There are some charging ports at Formosa but not all tables have an outlet. (+)- there are weekly BOGO deals (tip- check Instagram as it varies from store to store) I also visited Summerfield near Rosemead/Valley that same weekend and felt that it was more comfortable / had more seating albeit they do not have a BOGO deal like Formosa does.

Parking Parking was pretty convenient. There is street parking available, and there is also a small parking lot in the back for the building's tenants. Interior / Atmosphere The shop itself looks bright, clean, and inviting. It has big shop signs, sofas, and a few cute spots where you can take pictures. From what I heard, they also host K-pop gatherings from time to time, which gives the place a fun and unique vibe. Service The staff were friendly, interactive, and easy to talk to. They answered my questions with helpful information and made the experience feel welcoming. Drinks I ordered the Guanyin milk tea, which was recommended to me after I mentioned that I prefer a stronger tea flavor. It was a good recommendation, and I enjoyed that the tea taste came through well. Even though I ordered 100% sugar, the drink did not taste overly sweet, which I appreciated. Overall Overall, I had a good experience here. I would personally rate this place around a 4.3 to 4.7, but because the staff were so interactive and welcoming with customers, I would give them a 5.

It's also fresh with clean ingredients. Tasty! (Quick Note: There's no added fee for card payments. Also, customers can't enter inside; rather, it's reminiscent of a gas station attendants booth with a counter and drive-thru.) I arrived at Baker's Dozen Donuts (El Monte) on Sunday (around 2:20PM). Parking situation is not the best. There's neighborhood parking, and there's a very small parking lot (fits about two cars). However, this spot caters more for drive-thru. Staff is professional, welcoming, and diligent. Staff quickly helped me, and Staff promptly answered all my questions. Concerning ambiance, Baker's Dozen Donuts (El Monte) is barebones. There are zero tables, and it resembles a tiny gasoline station's atmosphere. If arriving, I'd plan to just use the drive-thru. Overall, Baker's Dozen Donuts (El Monte) is very affordable and very tasty. Despite the bad ambiance, this business offers wonderful donuts. If you're a local, you're very fortunate. 4.8 out of 5
