JUST OKAY 2.5 We were quite thirsty from a mix of warm weather and a full day of shopping at Valley Fair Mall. We hadn't noticed this kiosk before and decided to give this place a try. Ordering is done entirely through a touchscreen pad. At first, we weren't even sure they were open because there was no employee in sight. A few other customers were lingering nearby looking just as perplexed. We browsed the menu and took our chances. There were quite a few drinks and snacks that read, "Sold Out"; close to half the menu. I ended up ordering a Tropical Dream (pineapple slushee, fresh pineapple, agar boba and mint). After placing our order, we wandered around the surprisingly large kiosk but still couldn't find anyone working. The entire preparation area is enclosed behind frosted plexiglass panels, making it impossible to watch your drink being made. Personally, I enjoy seeing the preparation process, not only because it's interesting, but also because it gives me a sense of the cleanliness and care being taken. Here, everything was completely hidden from view. My husband even tried peeking over the partition for a glimpse, which felt a little awkward. After a few minutes, someone did appear with our order. Mine was okay. It tasted like pineapple and I did love the crystal boba. I drank about a quarter of it, then tossed it. Maybe it was too sweet. I just couldn't justify drinking my calories for a drink that was merely okay. Calories are meant to be savored and enjoyed. read more

We ordered a drink since the ordering menu was on, and all the store lights were on, but we realized nobody was working. Then, we realized our mistake that the store was closed. The lights and ordering kiosk should not be on if the business is closed. Other people around had some confusion too. Hoping to get a refund. read more

First time visit and quite disappointed. Green tea with cream - the tea was so diluted and cream has a weird texture (like vomit stuffs). I had the special promo strawberry mango drink, asked for 50% sweet, still it came out so sweet. There are many other options nearby, i should have tried other boba drinks shop. read more

Drinks here are so atrocious, we got the special promo strawberry mango drink which came out too sweet, and the green tea with cream which had no sweet and was so disgusting, you can see the cream coagulate in the drink. They don't allow remakes either. Threw my drink in the trash as it was so gross. read more

Pretty disappointed since I liked the one in Cupertino but somehow it was a flop this time. Similar to other reviews: first of all train your employee to be more present. She was hiding behind the counter with her AirPods on so no worker can be seen and it looks like the store is not even open. When I ordered it I had to peek behind to make sure she got the order. Most of the drinks marked out of stock so only a few choices. The pineapple drink I got was way too sweet even after I selected less sugar- not sure if it's the recipe or she just forgot to make it less sweet. Binfen is very watery and no taste or shape - I can barely taste them. And the last straw is that after I got to the bottom part there is a huge piece of ice half of a palm size still there not even blended. Really hope this store can do well so sharing this hoping they can fix them. read more

Pretty good spot in a mall with a lot of good stuff that never seems to end. Lots of fruity drinks that are all pretty good. We tried the lychee one and enjoyed it overall. Sweet and refreshing. It was a pretty basic experience, but overall we enjoyed the drink and would try other ones in the future. read more

Pretty good! I got the passionfruit mojito which was a fizzy and fruity refreshing drink. I added lychee jelly but felt like they skimped a little. Unfortunately most of the menu was sold out. I don't know if they have a hard time stocking items or if they intentionally made the menu smaller. Prices were more than fair otherwise, and I would be willing to try other drinks. read more

First impressions of this place known for Bing Fen (Ice Jelly) was kind of lackluster and I wasn't wow-ed at the offering. The first turn off was how expensive it was for a very small portion size that left us craving more. Wife and I ordered the Lychee Rosie and although it tasted fresh and sweet, it didn't feel like anything special that we could have made at home or gotten somewhere else. The final total was close to ~$10 after getting it as well which I think rather spend on two boba drinks elsewhere. Again, nothing was wrong with the Bing Fen itself but it just didn't feel like it was worth the price. read more

The drink dessert was very light and hint of persimmon. We were expecting a little more liquid to jelly ratio so that was a different experience. Macaroons were super cute and not too sweet. It was fast service. read more

Jell & Chill Cute place with another location in Cupertino. This is originally from Southwest China and it involves Bing Fen which is a Jello like substance. If you like jello & drinks you may love this place. This is a new concept to the typical boba :) I recommend trying the original first and then switching it up to the more cirtrus, fruity textures. 1 star off as I don't think the food is much of a draw but the drinks are! Wish they had more sizing options. Service is a self service clover tablet so easy to order and no wait essentially read more

After lunch at marugame udon, my friend and I were leaving the mall but this place caught our eyes. This place specializes in bing fen drinks. According to their website, "Bing Fen is a plant based jelly dessert made from the seeds of the nicandra physalodes." It's a very refreshing and a healthier alternative to other snacks. I got the Yuzu Grapefruit ($8.50) and my friend got the Watermelon Cloudy ($6.25). The Yuzu Grapefruit is a passion fruit slushie with yuzu sorbet, rosemary , fresh grapefruit, and agar boba. It is indeed refreshing but it was a bit overpriced for what it is. read more

Tried this place twice. Drinks are hit or miss. I do recommend the honeydew dragonfruit drinks. It's light and refreshing. The honeydew fruit slice in the cup is too ripe and almost tastes spoiled?? The other peach drinks taste rather artificial. read more

Located on mall 2nd floor, near Shihlin, Pokeatery and iChina, back a walkway near Macy woman's and the Icon movie theater. Got a strawberry peach with no whipped cream (cutting calories). Shared it and was definitely big enough for 2. Strong strawberry flavor. Get the whipped cream to smooth out the flavor and make taste more creamy. Overall enjoyable and of good quality. Ordering on kiosk was pretty intuitive and quick. Worker that helped with info and delivering the drink was nice. Ambiance... well it out in the middle of an aisle in the mall, so it's noisy and no music. No real set space to eat but open bar tables nearby near shihlin. Will be back again. read more

My friend and I stopped here to order some bing fen after shopping at Valley Fair for a bit! I got the watermelon slush and she got the yuzu grapefruit. We asked the employee if he could make ours a little less sweet too, so if you prefer that make sure to let them know since it doesn't show up on the digital ordering menu! The watermelon slush came with such an adorable watermelon chunk in the shape of a flower on a stick, and my friend got a big chunk of fruit in hers. The lychee jelly in my slush was so refreshing and added sweetness. The cream on top didn't really add much flavor, I didn't mix it but it might have added a different sort of texture (since my order was just mostly watermelon juice). My friend liked her yuzu grapefruit, it was too sour for me to try after I had my watermelon so I just stuck to mine haha. It's really yummy and I'd definitely come back here to try another one of their drinks and maybe one of their desserts- perhaps a macaron or two? read more

I'm obsessed w jell and chill! It's my new go to snack/drink at valley fair mall! My favorite is definitely the yuzu drink! It comes full of jelly and this AMAZING yuzu sorbet on top. I'm not even sure if you can call it a drink since it's mostly jelly but you drink it through a straw so I call it a drink :) If you've never tried bing su i'd highly recommend checking this place out! The drinks are so refreshing and i'll be back anytime I visit the mall. read more

Mixed feelings on this new pop-up shop in the middle of a Valley-Fair mall walkway. It fits the bill for a dessert drink type place, given the other nearby offerings are just okay at best, but itself falls a bit short of being a good spot. Jelly drinks aren't always my thing, but it doesn't feel very well integrated in this case. Overall it ends up rather underwhelming given the asking price. The shop is pretty straightforward, but the menus on display are dim and rotate so you're better off just hitting up their kiosks to look for details. Minimal interactions with staff. Kiosks are easy to operate though and we had no issues picking through the options. Offerings included their typical jelly drinks and macarons. The former has prices from as low as $5.5 and going up to $10, particularly with the fancier ingredients. My brother got the Tropical Dream and I went with their Purple Haze. The tropical dream was an inoffensive drink so he didn't really comment on it further, but certainly not raving about it either. My Purple Haze wasn't too well balanced and flavor was just okay; with the quantity of the jelly it definitely pushes it firmly into bland, and I already like my desserts on the less sweet side. The mochi bits were also a bit gritty, but the fresh taro chunks were nice and the ube slushy itself reasonably flavored. However, the ube was just better without the jelly parts, which diluted whatever was there too far. Worth the try, especially if you're already at the mall browsing, but I'll probably venture elsewhere for dessert options. read more

If you approach this place as a vegan jelly dessert place with some drinkable options, it might be ... passably palatable and pretty pricey. It's a cute popup place next to other restaurants, so people are typically milling about and eyeing the menu. Service is a bit slow, and I went into it wanting to try a drink after lunch (note: this is the wrong expectation). Imagine my surprise when I was handed a spoon with my Rosie's Evil Twin. In short, I was very underwhelmed. The Watermelon Cloudy was just watermelon juice, the Yuzu Grapefruit was sour and exactly what you'd expect, the Tropical Dream was tart but fine, and the Rosie's Evil Twin was a fine semi-sweet mixture of jelly, random things, and sugar. All of the drinks were very inoffensive but very okay at best (and maybe not $6.25 or $8.50 fine, for that matter). It seemed like you'd need a spoon for three of the four drinks to enjoy them most effectively (all but the watermelon). It's pretty and it's a pretty experience. Worth trying, but there are better options in the mall. read more

Got the Yuzu as a sample from a promotion during construction, Rosie and Rosie's Evil Twin this time around. The jelly is the best part of it but it goes down so fast so it feels like a very airy drink. The balls in Rosie were pretty chewy and good with the jelly but I did not like the candy that was in it. If you like the light deserts, this place is for you! read more

Refreshing alternative to boba in Valley Fair mall. Ube flavor is bland and tastes like taro, not suited for satisfying a sweet tooth. Strawberry is tart and sweet. Jelly is flavorless.

I've been wanting to try this place since I saw the ads for their opening and I knew I had to try it when it opened. It's pretty expensive. $8-$10 for a small container but I wouldn't want a larger size since it's quite sweet and a bit much. The jelly itself has no flavor - it's the sorbet and whipped cream that overpowers. It tastes much better when you eat it with a spoon as opposed to drinking with a straw. Honestly, not really sure how to describe it other than underwhelming or maybe I just don't like this kind of dessert. I don't regret coming just because I know I would always wonder but I wouldn't come back. read more

I think of all the drink places in VF this might be on the pricer side ~$8 a drink, but personally I don't like any of the boba options in the mall so I would rather get this again. I got the yuzu grapefruit! I enjoyed how refreshing it was as a drink but all the toppings complimented each other making it a nice dessert as well. I was worried that the jelly was actly going to make the drink too bland but it's perfect for a warm/hot day! & There's lychee jelly and a little sherbet that's mixed in to keep things sweet. I've never been to the Cupertino location but I think this menu is smaller in comparison. Now that I've tried a drink here I will prob try the other location! read more

Super cute location that just opened yesterday! They're a separate stand between iChina and Taco Mania. The drinks are super delicious sounding and service was quick and friendly. I ordered the Tropical Dream, which was a Pineapple Slushie type drink. They listed crystal/agar boba on the ingredients list, but gave me lychee jelly - they might not be fully up and running since opening yesterday, I think! The slushy was a bit sweet, but it gets balanced out by the neutral, refreshing jelly (aiyu type jelly). Would order again! I'll have to be back to try more drinks next time! read more

At first we were excited to to drink something sweet and savory. The service was terrible, they were wearing headphones and everything was so slow, they didn't even give me my receipt even when I asked for it. The drinks were terrible and bitter. We had to get $1 toppings to make the drink look like the picture otherwise it was just plain juice. We also got the Takoyaki, everything just tasted bland. I usually don't do reviews but both the food and service were really bad. A total mess, never come here. read more

Not my cup of tea or "boba" I would say. The mango saga drink was not sweet and almost had no flavor. The toppings were the only part that was sweet or has flavor. The shop ran a promo during construction and you got a free yuzu by signing up for interest. The associate was friendly. Was able to find my email address and provide my promo. The store front is in the middle of the mall. In a center kiosk. read more

I like that you can order on a ipad. service was friendly and quick! we shared a mango flavored one i can't remember the name but it was really good!! i liked the toppings and i was thankful they gave us both a straw and spoon so we could consume every last bit! texture is something i think people will need to get used to it's a hit or miss on ur own personal preference. it's not a smoothie or boba like consistency. very unique but we like it! :) read more

Newish option in Valley Fair. They seem to have a couple of different options across dessert bowls and drinks, although the drinks feel like more of a dessert as they are largely jelly based and topped with ice and fruit. I usually prefer less sweet and more natural fruit flavors, so tried the lychee and rose drink. It was pretty good when mixed through. I liked how the jelly tasted like natural rose and had the rose petals mixed in, and the lychee slush and fresh lychee on top was great. The lychee jelly might have pushed the sweetness up there, so definitely more of a dessert, but overall solid option to try out. read more

I ordered using their self-ordering system and paid via the QR code of our receipt. I waited 20 minutes and asked for an update on our order. I showed my receipt and proof of payment and the cashier said that I did not pay or maybe it was for another store (even though the QR code was from their receipt). I wait another 20 minutes and asked again: the cashier said that our order never printed. To compensate for their poor service, they gave me a macaron. That was nice I guess. Service was terrible. I did not appreciate being told that I did not pay nor her doubting it was for their store. I also did not appreciate how she did not bother checking if the staff making the drinks even received our order. A definite disconnect between the front staff and back staff. Avoid. read more
