The cakes look gorgeous and the decoration is on point. However, our ube cake felt pretty old and dry for 6$ a slice but not bad! It's filled with a whipped icing and pieces of coconut which was a good texture contrast and added much-needed flavor. My friend got the lychee boba which was solid. However, I'm not sure I would come back anytime soon. The people here are super nice, though the service is a bit unconventional. Come here for your standard boba drinks, but don't overpay for the ube cake...

I had a very nice experience yesterday for my first visit to Yoomi Tea. It's a convenient location…read moreas far as parking is concerned - plenty of parking at the old Marshalls/TJ Maxx nearby to the supermarket in the same plaza as Mavis tires. Don't be fooled by the exterior, which looks dark as if it's closed. The lighting is in need of an upgrade to make it more welcoming, but there are plenty of tables to sit down and enjoy a very freshly curated bubble tea. The menu reminds me of my mini trips to Japan - particularly the bubble waffle, which is absolutely delicious. If you are a fan of the crispy outer crust of a Belgian waffle, you'll really like this style. I ordered the Matcha flavored, which had Matcha in the batter. The toppings are optional, and I opted for homemade mochi. That brings me to the mochi - I didn't realize they had mochi donuts, or I would have added those to my order. Speaking of ordering, it's awkward. It's set up more for high traffic, places where you can place your order at the kiosk, pay, and then wait for your order to be prepared. I was the only one in the shop, and I found the system to be a little bit redundant. Unfortunately, because of the way the menu on the kiosk was set up, I was unaware of the mochi donuts which are displayed in the counter, but you don't see them until you actually finish processing your order. I would suggest that management make some modifications to this so they can upsell But that brings me to the beverage and the waffle My order was for the mango passionfruit green tea with strawberry Boba. Surprisingly, they must really use fresh fruit in everything because the Boba tasted like fresh strawberries, and I actually found a couple of passionfruit seeds in the beverage. This was not a frozen smoothie type drink, but rather a milky consistency. It's not inexpensive, but it is on par with pricing of nearby Boba and tea shops. I wished I had realized that they had really interesting ice cream sundae offerings. Another thing that reminded me of my travels through Japan. The shop owner was very pleasant and was working by herself. It was a Saturday early afternoon and I was the only one there until my order was filled. Another person came in behind me. I'd love to see the Shop do well because it is offering unique treats to the other smoothie shops. I recommendation to the owner is to make some changes to the decor: I suggest getting some large framed art from Japan or Korea, or both place those on the walls instead of the menus which are taped haphazardly. It wouldn't be hard to give this place more ambience. Right now the ambience is at about a two. Some fresh greenery in the corner, some framed inexpensive, artwork of Asia, and brighter lighting will make a difference. Also, they sell some cute items like anime style, but it's at the register and once you've paid it's a little awkward to try to pay again so I don't see that system working either There are approximately eight tables which could seat up to four people at each table so you may want to bring a children's party or stop by after karate class. Unfortunately, I did not have my telephone with me so I could not check in properly and could not take photographs. There are some great ones on the website, but I do suggest going in person and seeing everything for yourself before you order at the kiosk.

I popped in one winter lunch break and was hypnotized by the promise of that cocoa comfort I love. Ridge C. isn't just another cozy café. They have an entire wall lined with spices and loose-leaf teas in clear, labeled Mason jars. It's like a tea lover's dream. I was in my element. But let's talk hot chocolate. The first time? Disappointing. Bland. Still, I gave it another shot. This time requesting they go heavy on the chocolate. Nope. My 'heavy on the chocolate' request slipped into thin air, because round two was just as bland. Tip: Parking on Main Street is a nightmare and the meter maid's out here like it's a sport. Save yourself and look for a side street instead.

It's is nestled in this small little one room house. Everyone working here was so kind and friendly and took the time to give me a few whiffs. I ended up brewing a mix of blood orange and two types of mint as a cup of tea to go, and even took a small bag of loose leaf home with me. The brew he concocted was so flavorful and the right mix of orange and mint. Perfect for warming me up for another walk on a very cold day. The brewing took a few minutes so I was able to grab a seat, smell a few more teas, and await my hot tea to go. A few things to know! There was only one or two seats, so this is not a cafe to sit and relax, definitely only a grab and go. It is right off of the main street so not hard to find at all. If you are a fellow tea lover, you'll be keen on this great little spot.

I find that this place has a bit of identity crisis considering it's advertised as bubble tea, but…read moreserves Spanish food and sandwiches, great to be multi faceted but be more equitable in advertising. I found there was bit of disconnect when getting a bubble tea when I asked for less ice, like it so strange and bizarre when other full-on tea places it's a standard like sugar levels. They did accommodate but man like pulling teeth to get through it. The strawberry bubble itself was great, refreshing and right amount of sweet. Do enjoy they have a grape flavored and blueberry flavored fruit tea which is not commonly available elsewhere so that's a plus. Next time I will try the food, I feel it's more of their strength than tea.

So one day on my lunch break, I decided to finally swing by and see what they're all about- especially since their whole thing is chocolate. The space inside is cozy with a nice cocoa aroma that almost wraps around you like a blanket. This isn't just a chocolate cafe- it's a nice little wonderland where cocoa is the soul, but not the whole story. Alongside their truffles, you'll find hot chocolate, brownies, pastries, etc- all Vegan. I was really looking forward to the chocolate truffles, but the chewy texture threw me off. I expected that smooth, melt-in-your-mouth center like the classic ones. And I get it- these folks are completely vegan- even so, I hoped for a similar consistency in these- veganized of course. And I couldn't leave without trying the hot chocolate. Theirs needed more cocoa oomph. Still, the service was solid and the staff was great.
