Very cool spot for boba, sweet drinks, and other kinds of treats. I got to try their paw shaped egg…read morecakes with Nutella inside, as well as an egg tart. Both were quite good! They have many different flavors you could go with, including typical ones like chocolate, peanut butter, or custard, to more interesting flavors like cheese and red bean. The Nutella one was stuffed quite well and the portion was solid for the price. The dough itself was a tiny bit spongey, and the outside was crispy. These are nice to share! The egg tart was pretty solid as well. Fairly sweet, but not excessively so. Okay portion for the price. Also not bad! All in all, a nice spot for sweet treats. I'd come back again!

Finally, an authentic and high quality boba chain spot opened up in Pittsburgh! Was so excited for…read morethis to open up after finding the news about it and being from California which has all the better boba spots. The store was super newly remodeled, clean, and spacious with a few tables to enjoy your boba, study, or socialize. There is a self-ordering Kiosk machine as well as the front register to order your drinks. The workers were super friendly and gave opportunities to let them know if your drink does not taste satisfying and they will remake it for you. My friend and I ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea w/ boba and Mango slush w/ white pearls. The boba was definitely made well, satisfying my boba cravings. Will definitely be coming here often!

Fuku Tea is my absolute favorite boba spot ever! My first time trying boba was actually here when I…read morehelped move my sister into college. When I came to Pitt, it became routine that I grabbed a bubble tea once a week before class or as a treat on the weekends. I am always sure to stop in and grab my favorite drink if I am in the area. Not only are the workers super friendly, but the drinks are delicious and consistently good. I love the bright interior of the shop and that there is inside seating, so you can enjoy your drink inside (especially during the colder months in PA). My go-to order is a black iced tea lemonade with strawberry flavor and lychee popping boba, but there are so many flavor options that you can really mix it up based on your personal preference. Its location on Forbes Ave makes it fairly easy to get to, especially if you are a student living on Pitt's campus. Do yourself a favor and grab a bubble tea if you are ever in the area!

We stopped by yesterday around 6:30pm. There were only two other people in the shop besides the…read morestaff so we didn't have to wait to order. The inside is small with not a ton of seating so keep that in mind for big groups. There's a table for 8, four chairs next to the window with a narrow table, and a long bench to sit at. We ordered our boba and pearls were really soft and chewy. My friend's mango slushie was really refreshing and I liked my taro boba.

Yotea has an extensive menu but somehow gets everything right! Three of us stopped in yesterday…read morearound 3:30pm and basically had the place to ourselves. The inside is fairly large with a good amount of tables. We ordered a few apps to share and everything came out quickly. The smashed cucumber salad is HUGE and delicious with a lot of good flavor. The wings were crispy and the chicken satay was really flavorful. We loved the flaky egg tarts and the scallion pancakes. The chicken fried rice had a touch of sweetness to it which was unexpected but we liked it!

The last time I was home I swung through Oakland and decided to check out Yotea & Yoka as I'd never…read morehad their food before. Wow, I was impressed. There are so many great restaurants in Oakland to choose from and they're definitely on that list. Everything from the boba to the rice and all in between is delicious. Well, at least what I had was.

What I had: Cake foam boba milk---OMBoba...delish (I need to try the Snow mountain boba next) They have so many drink options that it's overwhelming. Beef satay was tender and well-seasoned Fried dumplings and cucumber salad---yum Chicken Chow Fun---I think they mean Chicken Chow YES Last note: As you can imagine, they can get extremely busy as with most restaurants in Oakland. It's worth the wait.

Wow what a lovely new cafe, one of my new favs!…read more The pistachio latte is rightfully the most popular, with actual pistachio in it and a great flavor too. The simit was also delicious and fluffy with the broken egg, it was perfect. Definitely will be coming back to try the pistachio croissant or the cakes. It's a great vibe, with cozy chair and decor. I'm really excited they opened and would recommend!

Cafe Vivella is a small, family-owned restaurant that serves coffees, teas, pastries, toasts,…read moresandwiches, omelettes, and more. My husband and I ate one lunch here. An employee promptly took our order. We sat at a table of our choosing. Several minutes later, employees brought our drinks and food to us. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Pistachio Croissant - 4.5 stars - This croissant was a large size and was covered in pistachio pieces and icing. Note that my receipt says a price of $7, although their website and restaurant menu says $6.50. Turkish Black Tea - 4 stars - This tea tasted rich and slightly bitter. Moroccan Tea - 5 stars - I first encountered Moroccan tea last year when I vacationed in Morocco. This tea tasted similarly minty and sweet. Iced Chai Latte - 3 stars - My husband ordered this drink. It was not bad, but he said that he did not like the flavor or the grittiness. The total price was $19 plus tax and tip.

If you love matcha I think you will like this cozy spot in Squirrel Hill. You can choose your level…read moreof matcha, level five being the strongest. They also offer weekly rotating soft serve flavors and matcha ice cream you can have at different levels of matcha as well. The indoor and outdoor seating is fine and I appreciate the public bathroom. My fave was the blueberry matcha latte but it's ube season now. My current favorite is the iced banana pudding matcha latte with coconut milk at level one.

The interior was relatively busy. MATCHA LATTE - 6.95 +1 for level 2 upgrade I decided to go for the level 2 upgrade since it was their recommended. I wasn't sure if I wanted to pay $9 for a matcha drink to try their level 3. Overall, this was incredibly mid with a chalky texture. Another review mentioned it was "grainy and grassy" and I wholeheartedly agree. I actually think Starbucks has better matcha. Their matcha drinks aren't the way to go, but maybe their matcha soft serves are better? I don't know. Not sure if I'm down to pay that price for below average matcha again.

The food was definitely 5 stars. We got their "best of the burgh" breakfast sandwich. And if it's not truly the best of the burgh, it's darn close. The slaw and crispy bits of sausage take this one over the top. We also really enjoyed their homemade cinnamon rolls. Top notch. As for coffee, I got an Americano and had to order an extra shot since it came with only 2. A no no in my book. But they use 19 Coffee Company beans, which I like, so it ended up being a good cup. My wife got the "Caffeine in a jump suit", but ordered it decaffeinated oddly enough. She had no complaints. They do seem to have some interesting latte flavor combinations for people interested in that sort of thing.

Definitely try their tiramisu latte and their empanadas!

Staff were also incredibly nice and walked through recommendations, very attentive! The tres leches latte was very sweet and milky, which makes sense, will definitely try one of their other fun options next time! They also had a great mix of sweet and savory options, the coconut pastry was perfect with dulce de leche in the middle and a ton of coconut flavor, but you can't go wrong with anything here!
