She should not be working in food service if she doesn't know how to talk to customers even if it's packed on a Saturday night. Had to go up to the front to ask for utensils and bowls as we are sharing, maybe it wasn't obvious but there are only two of us at the table.

Writing this so I hope the owners see. I just came back from a trip to Bangkok and was excited for…read morethis new Thai dessert spot. I think it's still quite new so they're developing the space which the interior is quite bare but has a lot of potential. Feels like a restaurant layout but I wish it was more chill like a lounge/cafe. Unfortunately there aren't many outlets and worker said no wifi, if there was I would totally come to work here. Items on the menu were okay but maybe my standard is high from just being in Thailand lol. They could really hone in on the Thai experience (asam tea and kanom krok etc) to differentiate from the boba/matcha places. I like you can adjust the sweet level. Anyways okay place, would come back if they improved the area to chill/work and I'd be willing to try the other items! Please give fast wifi!!

I was just shopping around serramonte and I saw this little matcha shop in the middle of the mall…read more Thought iI'd try it out. I ordered the matcha mont blanc parfait strawberry. My order came pretty fast. The parfait was really good. I like that the matcha on top had a spaghetti like texture to it. I also liked that the strawberry puree wasn't too sweet. I'll definitely come back to try more stuff. Try it out if you like. :)

You can now find matcha almost anywhere you go now a days. There is always room for innovation with…read moresome matcha and room for improvement when it comes to water down matcha being sold at some establishments. One place where you can also find matcha is at a shopping mall. This shopping mall is located in a neighboring city of San Francisco. This matcha spot is located in Daly City at the Serramonte Mall. On a Summer stroll into San Mateo County inside Daly City is the Serramonte Mall and I landed at Matcha Ren. There are many flavors of matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha. In the matcha world I am connoisseur I decided to try their mango matcha. It was tasty and the was not too sweet. I also had the blueberry matcha which appeared purple. It had was delicious smooth matcha taste. Overall it was descent matcha at a shopping mall. You can find descent matcha at a shopping mall in Daly City the San Francisco "neighbors" it has so many different variations and many different "flavors"some are great and some are "failures"and you can relax by the water fountain and get some matcha after participating in consumer "behaviors" Go to "Matcha Ren" where the matcha is good for the effect of "zen"and on social media I keep seeing this rating system over and over "again and again"and it's not mathematically correct rating something "One Hundred out of ten (100/10)"

Le Le Choux is such a cute little dessert spot for anyone who loves photogenic pastries. Their…read morechoux creams are beautifully decorated, colorful, and perfect for sharing. I tried a box with different flavors, including strawberry, blueberry, banana, mango, s'mores, and Oreo. Each one looked elegant and fun, with generous cream and toppings. My favorites were the fruit-based ones because they tasted lighter and balanced the richness of the cream nicely. The pastries are definitely more on the indulgent side, so I'd recommend getting a few flavors to share with friends. Overall, this is a lovely bakery for a sweet treat, photos, and a fun dessert stop. Quick service as well.

We stopped by on a Saturday for an afternoon snack after doing some shopping. Like last time, the…read morespecialty choux were prefilled and removed from the display case after ordering. No line when we were there. Our order: Banana Brûlée Choux ($6.50): +Choux au Craquelin had a slight crisp to it. +Banana Chantilly cream on top was not too sweet and tasted like real banana. +Shell was stuffed with pastry cream with banana filling. -I wanted to try this flavor last time, but they ran out. Unfortunately, I was disappointed...there was nothing Brûlée about this. The banana slice looked like it was torched, but it was just caramel sauce on top because it slid off as I ate it. Crème Strawberry Choux ($6.50): +Choux au Craquelin had a slight crisp to it, and the chocolate added a bitter richness. +Strawberry Chantilly cream on top was not too sweet. +Shell was stuffed with pastry cream mixed w/tart strawberry bits. +Strawberry slices were ripe and sweet. -Strawberry Chantilly cream looked the part, but lacked strawberry flavor. Side notes: 1.) $0.15 fee for credit cards 2.) It's a grab and go spot, but there are tables around the mall. 3.) Free parking in the Serramonte parking lot *Verdict: Even though the choux shells were better this time around, I enjoyed the flavors from last time more. I wouldn't go out of my way, but if I was in Serramonte I'd stop by to see what flavors they had.

If you don't know what to pick or want recs don't be afraid to walk up and speak to one of the kind folks working the front cashier. Super organized, screen scares where you are in the cue and a steady pace of of people coming through and a few seating spots that you can hang out while you're enjoying your drink. They even have some games like Uno, Cards against Humanity and chess etc to play amongst friends/family. Came once before with my daughter that she insisted we come back before the end of summer and make sure we had her little brother with us this time (awww). So if you're into this tea and boba and more scene, stop by when you're in the Serramonte area. Prices are fair for what it is, ranges between $7.95-$9.95 depending on how many extras you want to include. Sweetness options go from perfect, light, to none and Ice options go from regular, light, none, or hot! Also just one size. They are in the strip mall where Sprouts and Sketcher's are.... Parking is plenty and time getting your drink is reasonable and worth the wait even if it seems crowded inside.

My daughter loves coming to San Froyo. It's always fun seeing what flavors are available each day…read more We prefer the fruity flavors- they're so refreshing. Current fave is the P.O.G. flavor. They also make fresh acai bowls. There's a wide range of options for toppings and sauces you can add to your Froyo. It's kept pretty clean and tidy. Theres some seating inside and outside the shop. What stood out to me the most is the consistency of the kind employees we've countered. Definitely stop by the next time you're at Serramonte.

My friend likes SF Froyo and wanted me to try it. She treated me to the frozen yogurt since there…read moreisn't an SF Froyo location in San Francisco. The frozen yogurt is self-service, with a variety of flavors available, including Dutch Chocolate, Very Strawberry, Cake Batter, Alphonso Mango, Vanilla Bean, Cookie Monster, Taro, Original Tart, Passion Orange Guava, and Watermelon. I selected a few different flavors and added toppings such as blueberries, strawberries, and mangoes. The mixed frozen yogurt was good, but I can't say I liked it that much because I generally prefer ice cream. For two orders, the total came to about $16 (priced at $0.89 per ounce), which felt a little expensive to me. Overall, it was nice to try, but I would probably choose ice cream over frozen yogurt.

A friend actually suggested Madel to me as she knew I was on the hunt for some cookies so I took a chance and with a birthday party coming up, I reached out to her. She's very easy to talk to and responds back quick so you're not left wondering what's happening. Follow her account on Instagram to see her preorder block. If you order outside of that block then there's a 6 dozen cookies minimum which was not enough honestly after sharing some with the birthday party. LOL. Her cookies are delicious. I ordered 2 dozen matcha crinkles and 4 dozen ube crinkles and I'm absolutely floored. Not only are they consistent in sizing, but they're also delicious in every bite. Still obsessed. Can't wait to get the chance to order some again.

I mean i've never seen a prettier presentation for cookies in a line haha. communication was such a breeze with her! highly recommend. thank you!

I'm not a big fan of the jelly portions of halo halo (I know, sue me), but this was tasty. I kinda gave my boyfriend the jellies at the end (turns out, they're his favorite parts of halo halo!). I loved the corn flakes on top and the ice cream. this was my first time having halo halo as a more smoothie base than shaved ice/icy texture, but I'm not mad at all. I didn't get to compare this to a regular halo halo from this spot yet, but I'm excited to try it soon!

The Upside Down Halo-Halo was delicious! I highly recommend adding the ice cream (it's an extra charge, but it makes it even better). The Ube Truffle was also really tasty and worth trying. Cons: The Ube Cupcake Flan wasn't for me. The cupcake was dry, and the flan was bland and lacked flavor. I also ordered the Milo Milk Tea with boba, and it was disappointing. It didn't taste like Milo at all. Prices are on the higher side, so expect to spend a little more than you would at other dessert spots. Despite a couple of misses, I'd definitely come back for the halo-halo. If that's what you're going for, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Just be aware that it's a bit pricey, and not every menu item was a hit for me.
