this place was the perfect stop in the middle of my long bike ride yesterday. i had it on my radar…read moreand was going to be near, so donuts for lunch it was! they were sold out of about half of their options around 2pm but had plenty left, and they were still deliciously fresh then by then. i grabbed their last blueberry cream donut (love a filled brioche) and a caprese bun for something salty. and despite being a total coffee snob (i make my own espresso at home and even roast my own coffee beans in my kitchen!) i tried a gibraltar aka a cortado. i'm surprised i got a pic of the the caprese before i inhaled it. they warmed it up for me, and there was a mouth-watering ripe tomato in every bite. little pesto/basil with the crispy cheese. wow. perfectly crunchy and also juicy. delicious the blueberry cream was awesome. the flavor isn't too sweet, nice light fry with a ring on the outside, good gluten development... all markers of a superbly made donut. and the coffee! wow! when a bakery is good at their food options, i don't necessarily expect great coffee, but they carry verve which is a winner, and a crowd pleaser. not too dark, but still solid enough to hold up to a baked good. milk texture was spot on. overall super impressed with this place. friendly service, and they mask (yay). half a star off for no bathroom. i really wanted some soap and water after all the portapotty use of my bike ride :(

The setting of the store reminds me of those cafes you see in Korean dramas. Its very clean, modern…read moreand in my opinion a timeless interior design. When you walk in, youre greeted with a huge display case of their beautiful donuts! I came in for the first time the other day and I was greeted with a warm welcome upon walking inside. (It wasn't busy at the time i went so i got to take my time choosing my donuts). Amber was so sweet, she helped me box up my order and went over the flavors of the donuts i chose before closing the box in front of me. I got the black sesame, churro, matcha hazelnut, chocolate hazelnut, melona and the blueberry cream filled. Let me tell you these donuts are perfect if you dont like anything too sweet. My mom who usually splits one donut over the span of 3-4 days to finish, ate her entire blueberry donut in one sitting without even sharing. They do recommend that you enjoy them asap or to place them in an airtight container so they don't dry out. I did not do so, so my donut dried out (eating a dry but delicious day old donut as i write this). All in all my experience was amazing and I will definitely be coming back to try that guava donut if its there!!! I also recommend checking out and exploring their website. They have a gallery of the donuts they've created and case studies of how they come up with their flavors!

i don't know why they changed the name guys! snow bowl does not hit. it sounds a little elementary…read more mandro teahouse on the other hand...elegant, alluring, siren. HAHA i'm just kidding both of the names suck. petition to change it to bingsu blast bam bam bam bingsu is still on top. this is crazy. it has survived a name change, sticky tables, impatient customers, turtle-like workflow...STILL BOMB! get the mango it will never disappoint you. fluffy, creamy, refreshing goodness. it hits. especially when you're sweating your hairline off. i like to go out with friends and complain about men over some mango bingsu! i have also tried the injeolmi one which was okay. honestly as an asian i just prefer mango but if you're feeling like dora the explorer get whatever te gusta. also mango sago is not bad, not many mango pieces though. still trying to find good mango sago in the bay! overall YUM. don't get mad at the workers please even if you're hot and bothered, i assure you they are double hot and bothered and also sweating their nosehairs off. come get some bingsu and die after 5 bites because you ate too quick and got brain freeze! maybe that should be their new name...brain freeze

Dozing off from driving and needed some sugar... :) stumbled upon this little store…read more It was quite packed with folks eating shaved ice. I only ordered a taro drink which was pretty good. Definitely will come back and try the shaved ice.

Pleasantly surprising! We were just getting Korean food to go next door when we decided to give it…read morea try- love how it's flavorful without being overly sweet! Love the smoothie and green tea with creama! The toppings are yummy! Ordering is easy from the tablet but the staff are friendly and nice, if you need any help. The store look bright and clean- love the color scheme & the seats are so cool- they used plastic crates with customized wood panel with the store's name! Very creative!

Came back to my fav boba spot in high school! It's cool to see how it's changed to ChaChaCha and…read morefamous for their free mini photobooth machine haha. ChaChaCha offers unique drinks with their iconic puff cream topping on any of their milk teas, hojicha, matcha, einspanners (original - with vanilla or hazelnut flavor), and even croffles! Love the diverse menu. I usually get my puff cream milk tea with boba from here and it never disappoints. Creamy and the tea flavor still pulls through. Their boba is also pretty solid without it being overly sweet and relatively soft / chewy. However, I got their double matcha and original vanilla einspanner. Their double matcha had a mild umami flavor and wasn't very sweet. Def more for people who are into matcha for the profile than the sweetness. Loved that matcha foam though. Their einspanner was fireeee. Slightly strong coffee flavor and I enjoyed how the milk foam topping didn't overpower the drink. Would order this again!

Came here with a friend and got our order in quickly, but it took some time for it to get served…read more Good: - We saw the ice cream being made in the cauldron which was super cool of an experience - The ice cream was huge, great portion size - I liked the bubble waffle with the cereal flavor the most - super sweet and hit that refreshing perfect spot on a hot day Bad: - More casual ambiance and not as much seating for larger groups - Takes a while to have the ice cream made Overall this was a nice find!

Excellent nitrogen ice cream…read more I was looking for a smooth ice cream, almost like a soft serve and stumbled upon this place. Their Vietnamese Coffee was 5 stars delicious with a great smooth consistency and made to order. Restaurant was clean, staff was friendly. My friend's rose ice cream was also on point. Great addition to Fremont, though pricey, I think it's worth it.

I haven't been here in probably 10 years and I'm glad that they're still here. The icecream we got…read morewas kind of to die for. I don't know what they do but it was just heavenly. Not to sweet and not too "artificial". I would recommend the mango one because it's in season and it just tasted amazing. The service was quick and was inside a poke place.

The place is inside the 99 ranch. Tried their strawberry…read morematcha. Just delicious. Light and creamy matcha with bits is strawberry. I went with the recommended sweetness level of 50% and light ice. It's one I would get again. Ordered thru the snack pass app so just swing by and pick up. No issues.

A quick update…read more We've come here more often now that we end up defaulting here after our Mission Peak Hikes just as it's been convenient with the food options. This time around, we did think about going to the new spot just around the corner but the line was long so we decided Shuyi it is! I got the Peach mochi oolong tea - no added sugar, no ice. This was delicious and refreshing. Mochi topping is gooey and still feels snot-like to me. Peach is strong and oolong great. The lids on the drink were kind of flimsy. Unfortunately as I was trying to get my drink into the container and into my bag, I lightly squeezed the container and the lid popped off and the drink spilled all over my bag. *Sigh* Oh well. But it wasn't too much lost still be careful with strong holding the drink as the lids pop off. I wish they sealed their drinks which I feel like they did before. Generally we end up leaving after ordering. Seating is offered and shared by the other restaurants there. It's definitely a cafeteria/food court like vibe. We'll likely be back as usual but it was a nice little change in terms of which drink I got and I would definitely get it again...maybe not with mochi.

Of course husband last minute says day of birthday celebration that we need a cake. Found Izumi…read moreCakes on Yelp and was bummed at first because the soonest online reservation for a cake would be two days later. Husband called them around 11am and they said they were in the middle of making their strawberry cakes so they could add our order in for a same day pickup at 4pm. Pickup went well and the cake was so cute and it tasted great! Like the Chinese bakery strawberry cream cake with a moist sponge cake; not too sweet, just right. Might sound basic but it was done very well. Would 100% recommend. I don't know prices for cakes nowadays but I didn't feel bad paying about $60 for a cute and tasty cake (6", strawberry cream cake). I wouldn't bank on same day pickups, I might've just been very lucky they were in the middle of making their cakes but it wouldn't hurt to try calling early in the day if you're in a pinch for a solid cake. I'm very thankful for their service!

My sister stumbled across Izumi Cakes while she was looking for something to celebrate our matcha…read moreloving cousin. Izumi seemed perfect given the fact that there are a good variation of sizes that could be bought. Not everyone is a matcha lover and our family tends to gravitate away from cakes, we appreciated the smaller options. The Kyoto Matcha was purchased. The design was simply but had a slightly fancy feel to it- exactly what we were hoping for! There was strong scent of matcha coming from the top drip design and we couldn't be more excited for our matcha bae. Fast Forward: The cake is super soft, fluffy, and oh so very light. The cake in itself was not super sweet- very typical of Asian cakes. The matcha flavor was unfortunately too mellow for us. 3 stars for the cake in itself but the rating is bumped up to a 4 because the presentation is so cute! Matcha wasn't what we were looking for but we may be inclined to try other flavors in the future.
