Sno Tea Caffè UCF

We usually order at the counter and the staff are friendly and very accommodating. This place is cute and cozy with modern decor and a fun mural. It's clean and offers a chill vibe, and located near UCF. It offers a variety of boba drinks and teas. There's a small food menu but I've enjoyed all the items I've ordered so far. My go-to is the beef noodle soup which is flavorful and simple, yet so delicious. The beef is super tender and the chopped mustard greens elevates the taste. I always get a side of the hot chili peppers which is added goodness! I'm a soup gal so this place is where I like to get my soup fix when the weather gets cold. Another favorite is the fried chicken thighs appetizer. It's crunchy and well seasoned, not greasy. You get a nice portion. I'm also a big fan of the mixed fruit tea with crystal boba. You get your choice of sweetness level. The fresh cut fruits inside is also a nice touch. Every time I stop in I'll see a steady flow of Asian customers, so you know this has got to be authentic. Recently they started offering specials on different days of the week. Hopefully it will bring in more customers. It's worth the visit if you want some Taiwanese comfort food. There's ample parking since it's in a strip mall area.

Ice & Bites is a great spot if you're craving refreshing, flavorful treats. Their shaved ice is light and fluffy, perfect for cooling down on a hot day. I tried a couple of flavors--mango and strawberry--and both were sweet without being overpowering. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable for the quality you get.

Initially, they informed me that they had taro ice cream available, but later they apologized and mentioned that they had run out, offering only vanilla or coffee flavors as alternatives. I decided to go with coffee, but unfortunately, it turned out to be bland and overly bitter. On a positive note, the waffle I had was enjoyable and satisfying. The cashier accurately informed us that there would be a 20-minute wait, and true to their word, the wait time was exactly as stated. read more
