Was looking for a local baker on Yelp and La Vie Bakehouse popped up with no reviews! So of course,…read moreI had to try it ASAP. We ordered the chocolate babka and the everything boules, but there was an issue so subbed the Boules for the LUSHicous focaccia instead. The focaccia was/is delish! It's a red wine based bread with black and green olives and maybe a hint of balsamic? An awesome savory bite. Great bread for snacking with cheese and full bodied Merlot. The chocolate babka, was insane! So full of flavor and super soft. Want to be extra? Add some butter to that bad boy! We snacked on this today, but I will definitely have some tomorrow with my morning coffee. Shout out to Valerie, the owner of La Vie Bakehouse and show her some love!

Sometimes setting yourself apart works - you know you can trust that you're consuming natural ingredients in every sip! I love a standard milk tea with tapioca pearls so the "tiger milk" is my go-to drink item here. The "thai tea" doesn't have any sweetened condensed milk like its authentic namesake, but I've come to enjoy the warmth of the spices accompanying the brown sugar simple syrup. Their matcha is great too! If you're in the mood for a quick snack, the mochi waffles and bun varieties never disappoint.

Eat Bubbles is a small boba shop located near the center of L&L Market. There's plenty of paid…read moreparking around the mall, but don't get tricked: Most businesses in the mall give 3 hours of free validated parking. Eat Bubbles in particular has a QR code displayed prominently at the front counter to activate parking. The menu here is a little more advanced than the typical first generation American boba shop. They offer plenty of choices and allow sweetness and ice level adjustments. One thing I found to be nonobvious - all drinks under the "Fresh Brewed Teas" menu section are milk tea. They use lactose-free milk by default, which is a huge boon to people like me with lactose intolerance! Assam Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($7) - This drink has an interesting milk tea flavor that is a bit of a departure from a standard Assam. Instead of a fruity finish, this tea has a bit of a malty overtone, more pleasingly brown and earthy. It's a very thick drink and feels more rich than what only adding milk would be able to do. I believe they brew tea each morning and then fill individual pitchers for service. 50% sweet is a bit too sweet for my tastes with the additional sugar from the boba. It's not cloying, however. The boba is overall strange and not in a good way. The pearls are very inconsistent in both size and texture. In all cases, the pearls have soft exteriors, some approaching mushy, while others are okay. The interiors range from being too hard to almost mushy. The sizing of the boba is also variable, from small pebbles, to larger spheres. The boba is marinated for a long time, however, giving a somewhat minerally or perhaps herbal quality to them. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating 3/5 There aren't too many boba shops in Nashville, so while I wasn't enthralled with the drink, I think it's probably good for the area.

I felt welcomed and she made sure my experience was amazing. The tea was also good. The boba tasted like it was freshly made and the milk tea wasn't too sweet. The second time I ordered the mango tea with no add ins and 50% sugar. All in all it was delicious and I would get it again. They have a small lounge towards the front where you can study, get work done, play board games and much more. My only suggestion would be to add Aloe Vera as a mix-in. Other than that, I would return.

They have a small selection of pastries, cakes and Artisan breads. We chose to share a Butter Croissant, Cinnamon Sugar Coffee Cake and Apricot Sesame Seed Cooie. For our drinks -- Americano for me and an Iced Matcha Latte for my daughter. The baked items were wonderfully fresh and tasty. The croissant was the favorite -- so buttery, tender and flaky. I found the Americano too watery, but the daughter really liked the Matcha Latte. It's a cozy environment with comfortable seating inside and at the outdoor patio. The open kitchen concept is nice. Friendly people. Prices are very reasonable. Free parking in the small plaza.

The space is a little narrow but gorgeous, with lots of nice natural-feeling light and an open and airy feel. You can see into the bakery and there's a nice display with all the available pastries. Cute merchandise adorns a few racks and shelves (it took a lot of self control to not buy a sweatshirt!). The way the line works conflicts a little bit with the entrance but it moved quickly enough to not be a problem. We got a tahini brownie, an espresso chocolate chip cookie, and a coconut and orange scone. Of course, they also sell beautiful breads and some small meal options like paninis and granola bowls. It all looked delightful. Service was very pleasant and patient. The lady in line ahead of me wasn't being very kind to the workers and speaking to them in a very demanding tone, and they handled her with grace and professionalism. They were also working cohesively as a team to ensure quick service. All our treats were yummy. My surprise favorite was probably the coconut and orange scone. The glaze on top was sweet and pleasantly crackle-y and the flavors were balanced and paired perfectly together. The espresso cookie was also balanced and super yummy; espresso and chocolate go together for a reason! The tahini brownie was fun to try and wildly gooey/rich as promised by the addition of the tahini, almost too much so for my preferences. It is SO fudgy, lol. Definitely very pleased with the whole experience. Give them a try if you're nearby!
