I had an ok experience at HeyTea in Rockville. Honestly, with the wait time, the price, and the…read moretaste of the product, I expected more. I placed an order and we sat there waiting for nearly 30 minutes. Turns out the order was ready awhile ago but they failed to call out the number or put it on the board. Super lame. My drink was extremely floral forward and not much to drink despite the light ice request. Would I go back there again? Probably not, given the amount of waiting and their nonchalance with their drink quality.

Ooooof. Sickly sweet and mid. The only redeeming bit of the drink was that the boba was freshly…read moremade but that must have been luck. The service was perfunctory. Although the menu picture on the stand looks ok, after having the drink it feels like false advertising. Sad to report it's not worth the trouble trying.

Representing 2020 in alphabet series, K is for Kokee Tea. I first had Kokee Tea at Fair Oaks Mall…read moreof all places a few years earlier and remembered it was way better than Kung Fu Tea. I had it a couple of times in Wheaton Mall when I lived in Wheaton. One of the times that was noteworthy was in January 2020. I was in the office that morning in Columbia, and my girlfriend of that time had called or texted saying that she was really sick, she was struggling breathing, and to take her to the doctor. I'm like I'm at work, but I have Montgomery County (Rockville) work travel I happened to be able to do this afternoon. So, I can swing by Wheaton to pick her up to go to an urgent care by the mall. I waited with her at urgent care. The doctor gave her pills or something and commented that it's been a particularly bad winter with bad colds that have come in. Afterward, we went to the mall to get a bubble tea at Kokee Tea & maybe eat lunch too in the mall. We enjoyed the Kokee Tea. Staff is nice & efficient, prices are comparable to Kung Fu Tea, but better quality in my opinion. We didn't realize it at the time, my girlfriend likely had Covid, which wasn't diagnosed in the US until late February 2020. Her work was interesting. In early January, they had people who had work travel in the office from China. Her work was furloughed not long after that. Then, she had symptoms of Covid not long after that. Anyway, it was an interesting time. If in Wheaton Mall, I'd be back at Kokee.

New bubble tea in Wheaton!!! Service was great! We got…read morecoconut, Thai, matcha, and mango bubble tea. All were good but here are some tips I'd suggest when ordering: ask specifically for the bubbles you want. Don't assume the default is boba. We got popping bubbles which were fine but were a surprise (strawberry bubble and matcha is weird). I got 75% sweet... we love sweet things and this was still really sweet. I'd ask for 50%. The Thai was not a traditional Thai tea flavor. Almost more pumpkin spice. Mango was deemed the best and the coconut was great too. All in all all - we will be back! Nice neighborhood shop attached to the bakery.

We ordered 4 drinks and it seemed to take a while, which was interesting since there was only one other customer in the shop. My wife got the basic milk tea, I got a match milk tea and our daughters (8 & 10) got the Taro smoothie and a Banana flavored milk. After two or three sips we all came to the same conclusion that our drinks were not very good. They all tasted somewhat watered down. My daughters did not even drink theirs. The inside of the shop was nice and the staff was friendly but when the drinks are not good, there is no reason to go back. Definitely would not recommend.

Used to pick up food at their warehouse location. Didn't realize they had moved to a permanent…read morelocation 10 months ago. For a store that's open less than a year, this cafe is worn out. Tables not cleaned and most uneven and wonky. Just one sad front of house employee working that I saw just getting through the orders that are self order. This place has zero ambiance. I went to the bathroom and toilet tissue was nearly out and there was no way to even get anyone's attention to attend to that. Employee just kept their head down working. Food- drinks were great. My favorite is the watermelon coconut jelly. We had the pork chop pineapple bun. This is still a good sandwich. Tastes like they used to make it. Juicy pork chop, sweet pineapple bun. The construction of the sandwich leaves much to be desired because all the wet veggie ingredients slide the entire sandwich. Once you start eating, you should not put this sandwich down or it will come apart. They should put the sandwich in a sleeve. We ordered the fried chicken bento box. This bento has changed a bit from their previous version. With the new paper packaging, there are less compartments for goodies. The fried chicken recipe is different as all the batter fell off the chicken and was just a mess. There was close to zero pickles greens. With the dish which I feel brings this kind of bento together. Conclusion is food is decent, ambiance sucks. Would order to go from here but any fried food from here will be a disaster after you get it home. Had high hopes as I loved the previous location's food. Now being able to "look behind the curtain" and see how everything is made, I kind of feel question the cleanliness of this place.

The place is clean and smells great from the waffles I think. Not too many milk tea options but the boba and drinks are good so I'll let it slide. The boba lowkey took a while to prepare on the day we came tho. I'm not upset since we weren't in a rush but I was a little surprised.

Owner is a nice guy and always very helpful and chatty with his customers. Today I came in and saw fresh mango with chili available, so I picked up some. There was also papaya salad in the fridge, so I grabbed one of those too! The sliced mango with chili was $5.50 and the papaya salad was $7.95 and both were excellent! I also picked up some incense sticks, vermicelli, some Asian drinks including pennywort and Mr Brown coffee, preserved plums, and soy sauce. I was disappointed that no buffet style food was available and I guess they may not serve it on Sundays but hoping to try some next time I am back. I love this place as they have so many ready items and most have been very good! Give this place a try, you might just like it as much as I do!

I recently picked up a small Lemon cake and a Strawberry cake from Morning My Day in Silver Spring…read more I was expecting a decent dessert; I wasn't expecting to be reminded that most other bakeries have been lying to us for years. The first bite was a bit of a shock to the system. It's one of those rare "Ratatouille moments" where a flavor profile manages to bridge the gap between Maryland and the legendary sponge cakes of Phoenix Bakery in LA. It's a bit of a trick, really--making something taste like a childhood memory without being cloying about it. The Breakdown: * The Sponge: It's exceptionally light. Biting into it is less like eating a dense dessert and more like biting into a sweetened, high-end pillow. It's airy, delicate, and possesses the kind of structural integrity that only a professional (or a wizard) could manage. * The Icing: A triumph of restraint. Instead of the usual sugary plaster one finds elsewhere, this is a light, white cream. It's sweet enough to let you know it's there, but it doesn't try to dominate the conversation. It's icing with a bit of dignity. * The Verdict: This is how cake ought to be. It's exquisite, technically brilliant, and far too easy to eat in a single sitting. If you appreciate a dessert that relies on craft rather than a massive dose of corn syrup, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's a legit bit of baking excellence right here in Silver Spring

I came to try this bakery after seeing it promoted on Instagram as an authentic Asian-style bakery…read more I miss the Japanese bakeries I would frequent often when living in Japan a few years ago, and this one definitely brought back those memories. The interior is cute and on display were a variety of Asian-style baked goods and some minimal seating. The couple who runs the store seemed busy but rang me up relatively quickly. I got the ube twist and melon pan. The ube twist was really delicious -- I'd highly recommend it. The melon pan was disappointing; I expect a crunchy cookie crust on melon pan and this one was sticky and soft. The bread itself was super plush and soft and amazing, so it would be great if they could improve upon it with a crunchier cookie crust. The bread items were $3-4 each, so not the cheapest, but I was happy to support a local Asian bakery.
