There are a couple of seating options inside but it feels more of a order your drink and go type of place. I ordered the ube cheesecake drink with Biscoff cookies in it. It was good but on the uber sweet side. It was almost too sweet. It got better as the ice started to melt. They have a lot of unique flavors. I think one of their other teas might have been a better choice, but I wanted to go with something that I have never tried before.

The staff were super friendly and efficient. I ordered an Ube Ube (double ube) drink, and ordered my husband a Pomelo Mango Sago. The space was very modern and beautiful, but not much seating was available. It looks like they may be expanding though? Overall, the Ube Ube drink was incredible. I got it without tea and it was creamy, sweet, and really hit the spot. My husband said his drink was pretty good, but he's not sure if he would choose it again. I will be back for more Ube!

Situated in a cue lil food court next to Dayou, Mr Tea thrives on me being too lazy to go somewhere else to get a sweet treat when I'm like knees deep in spicy noods. That said, I did actually very much like the fresh mango slush with cheese macchiato. Even though mangoes are nawt in season, the drink appeared to have real mango chunks in addition to mango jelly. Very refreshing! However, my second encounter with a tea-forward drink was more disappointing. I decided to give the osmanthus latte a try but it tasted quite watered down, almost like they maybe use milk instead of a creamer? The osmanthus flavor was also not strong enough. Overall, a decent place to grab fruity boba if you are in the vicinity but it wouldn't be my first choice if you are looking for tea.

Must have been from the waffles & although that's not something I'd normally consider ordering, one whiff & I was craving them sooo bad! Not to mention that the prospect of exciting versions of them (like Pandan or Ube) made me want to ruin my dinner plans. So after I gained some self control, I ordered what seems like the healthiest & lighest drink up there. It just happened to also have all the flavors of things I adore. The Bambu Special is coconut meat, pandan jelly, brown longan, basil seed (think similar to a chia seed) & coconut water. All this with a crushed ice ball on top. Wow!! So subtle yet flavorful at the same time. I can't wait to make my way down their entire menu . The service: Another wow! The woman behind the counter was so nice & helpful. I mentioned how I like that it's a Vietnamese drink shop & she mentioned that her sister (I think an owner) & herself were both from Cambodia...one of my favorite places I've traveled to. It all made sense as the kindest people in all my travels were in Cambodia. She gave me future recommendations & I promised to return! The atmosphere: Clean, bright, variety of styled of seats, couches, high tops, & greenery walls that have cute neon signs. Wish this place was closer because it definitely had a coffee shop vibe. As a boba addict, I think I might have to pick this place over all the amazing boba options in that area & that's saying a lot! Please go try these goodies for yourself & support our local business owners!

Upon entering, it seemed like it had potential as it looked pretty cozy. The barista was nice and our drink came out quickly since we were the only ones there. The biggest issue I had with this cafe was the seating and cleanliness. When looking for a spot to settle down my things I found that there was a lack of outlets in all the spots I was looking. I went over to the other side by the window and the table was filthy so I chose not to sit there. It must have been left over from the night before as we arrived shortly after they opened. Upon further inspection, there were stains on the seats, peeling paint, cobwebs, and crumbs. The place is cute when you get a first glance but if you look closer it's not very clean. I would not come back.

Somehow I left with a non-mango drink, but it was a game time decision to try the weekly special - taro coconut twist. I wasn't sure at first, but it grew on me.

Enjoyed my little afternoon outing. Will definitely come again.

It was a bit off putting but I stuck around and ordered the halo halo. They have their speciality drinks with photos and descriptions along the wall. Those were helpful as their website was unreadable with what was in each dessert. The halo halo was delightful. It has a lot of flavor and some different things in it that have not been in other versions at other restaurants. It is a bit pricey but is larger than expected, which was nice and much more worth the money. I will go back and try some of the other desserts. They do have seating inside, but I got mine to go.

I liked that they had a kiosk so I could take my time going through the options. We clarified with the person making the drinks that the drink we got included boba because it was kind of unclear on the kiosk. Overall pretty good size for the price especially since nowadays boba can be around $8-10. I thought the flavor was good and the boba texture and flavor was perfect. It's definitely on the sweet side but that's probably because of the specific drinks we got (brown sugar). Would come again!
