I'm currently boycotting that national pink and brown chain with the number of flavors for some extraordinarily rude service in the neighboring town. I had currently supported a local ice cream shop over in El Portal and was satisfied. I didn't want to go that far so I remembered Destenny's which is near where I live. Quaint small shop. Kudos for re-imagining a small space for a local business. Not many flavors but a good quality product in Mitchell's. The lady was very nice in making my split. She went out of her way to accommodate my need to transport my split in a container. My only issue is the split and a Red Bull came to $20 (plus apparently $1.50 for using a card). I didn't trip and immediately paid it. Now the split was awesome. But I got home and was like waiminute...$20?? The split from the other local place was $9 plus tax. The chain woulda been $7 plus. Was the split $15 and the Red Bull $5? Was the split $10 and the Red Bull $10. Ironically, I was contemplating going to Safeway and getting the fixings myself but ultimately decided naw, I don't need to spend that much, plus remember, we're supporting local. I got a loyalty card and I DID like the product. Maybe I'll try again and get a price point before I order

I had been wanting to try the Dubai chocolate for awhile, but couldn't find it at any local shops and was hesitant to purchase online. The bar was quite large at 8 oz. and topped with a beautiful dusting of gold powder. The chocolate had a nice snap and the pistachio butter and phyllo filling was absolutely delicious - crispy, creamy, and not overly sweet. I initially thought the price was a bit steep at $25, but considering the size, quality, and taste after trying it, I would buy it again. They only had milk chocolate available at the time and were sold out of the dark chocolate, which is my favorite, so I'll be looking out for that dark chocolate bar next time!

Le Dessert Lab - A Hidden Gem at Pacific East Mall! * *Disclaimer: This review is from my visit in April, so please note that things may have changed since then.* A routine trip to 99 Ranch for groceries turned into a delightful exploration of the Pacific East Mall, where we stumbled upon Le Dessert Lab - a charming and super cute cafe that instantly caught our attention. As we stepped inside, we were immediately greeted by the inviting ambiance and warm vibes that permeated the space. A Taste of Bliss: A Hot Matcha Latte with Lychee Jelly! Our taste buds were in for a treat as we sipped on a hot matcha latte with lychee jelly. The drink was not only really good but also creatively satisfying. The combination of the earthy matcha with the sweet and refreshing lychee jelly was a delightful surprise, leaving us wanting more! Overall Rating: 5/5 Prices: 5/5 We savored our matcha latte without feeling the pinch on our wallets. The prices were just right for the quality and uniqueness of the experience, making it an excellent value for the area. Location/Aesthetic: 5/5 The location of Le Dessert Lab in Pacific East Mall adds to the enchantment of the experience. Pacific East Mall itself is a hidden gem, offering a treasure trove of Asian and international groceries at 99 Ranch. However, beyond that, it's a haven of delightful cafes and restaurants, like Le Dessert Lab, waiting to be explored. The ambiance inside the cafe radiates a sense of coziness and charm, creating the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and enjoyable time. p.s: If you want to see a video of my delightful visit, check us out on **@chaifullyyours** on Instagram! read more

And the size of the standard beverage at the unbelievable price of $6.75 is well... I couldn't drink anymore even though I wanted to. Skip the competition.

The owner after finishing up the previous order waited until the ticket printed out and then she was gone to the kitchen. I decided to order the sweet potato fries with plum seasoning, the minced pork rice bowl and the taro smoothie. The sweet potato fries were okay. They were sweet on sweet with the plum seasoning. I like my fries crispy so I may be biased when these sweet potato fries came out a bit limp but I brought them home to air fry and I'm thoroughly enjoying them now. The minced pork rice bowl is a deal! It doesn't look like much food but it's packed into the container. The rice is under the minced pork and the vegetables so it's soaking up the juices making the rice even softer and more delicious! It also comes with a perfectly fried vegetable egg roll which was a nice complement to the meal. The taro smoothie brought back the happy feelings of the taro milk tea from Hay Tea. Where you can actually see the real taro in the drink. I'll definitely be back from another one of these too. 25% sugar was perfect for me. When waiting for my order, my coworker asked for me to pick up a crispy cutlet bento for her. Since my smoothie had just come out and I was waiting, the owner offered to stick it in the fridge for me until my coworker's food was ready. She also told me that they'd only been open for a month now. You can tell this lady is super hardworking and aims to please! I'll definitely be back again to try other items like the sweet soy glazed cutlet or the fried tofu cubes. Everything looks good!

On another Summer stroll in Telegraph I landed at Taiwan Professional Tea. Inside there is some seating and the party people order on a kiosk.
