The drink of the summer seems to be the mango matcha latte this year and Li Chun makes a good one! It's layered beautifully and blends - I'd say more mango flavored than matcha which is how I like it! The cafe itself has good vibes with lots of greenery, definitely a good spot to take a pause and read a book. I didn't realize they had a full menu as well or I wouldn't have eaten before I came!
Was in the college park area and wanted some boba and decided to stop. Beautiful bright spot with all cute interesting drink. Decided on Mermaid milk tea. It's good, tastes the flowery aroma but a bit too watery to my liking. Though I'd be back to give another try since they do have other items and even food menu!
This place is based around a Chinese item of crepelike consistency that I hadn't had before. There are a good variety of vegan options, and the one I got had two different kinds of tofu and a delightful garlicky filling. It's a different experience than I've had at any Chinese restaurant around. The place also serves as a bakery. The selection was interesting, but a bit odd. Their matcha red bean brownie wasn't very sweet; I'm okay with semisweet but it was barely sweet at all. The strawberry matcha one was the best received I think. I did not get any beverages. They top off the bubble teas with bottled water for some reason and put a lot of work into them.
I was on the hunt for something new for a cafe experience and stumbled upon this gem of a cafe. I loved the venue and the decor. It's not too loud either and super intimate. Parking isn't the greatest but I went on the weekend so if you're driving you'll need to park in the nearby lots. The servers were super pleasant and offered to order for me and at the kiosk. I tried the brown sugar latte with boba and the pork with lettuce and cabbage. It has a little kick to it but super tasty.
Upon entering you had a large group of people studying and a few smaller groups chatting and enjoying themselves, the baristas were focused on making beautiful drinks, and music played in the background. The energy was chill, relaxed, with a nice dash of mind your effing business. I like that. The menu is displayed to the left and by the cash wrap, offering interesting options like burnt eggplant bing and spicy BBQ potato fried rice. What stood out more than anything was the decor. It felt like being in your whimsically artistic friend's loft, where nothing matched but it did and love was in the details. Now it did seem better suited for a quieter crowd. It's located right on Campus Drive, perfect for students looking for a quiet place to study with tasty bites. They have wi-fi and a lovely selection of coffee/tea drinks, along with BING! It's capitalized like I've had it before (I haven't) but it looks delicious! There's nothing remotely American about the menu, so if you're looking for a chicken wrap or Caesar salad then keep it moving. The baristas took their time with our drinks and while the pear vanilla chai latte seemed enticing, the strawberry butter and butter black tea latte is what we settled on. Tasty choices, so I cannot wait to come back and try a hot drink. My eye is on the pear vanilla chai latte and mung bean noodle salad with beef. Parking might be a little tricky (there's nearby lots as well as street), but it's worth the visit. Enjoy!
Stopped by to try Li Chun after seeing someone walking around with a bag from them. The menu was very intriguing and I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to try since I have limited time in Hyattsville! I ordered the da fan bao bing with zhazha pork, a side of cucmber salad and tea smoked chicken, a canele, and the lychee pomegranate drink. I was thoroughly impressed by all! The drink came out first and had beautiful presentation. The drink was lightly carbonated and the flavor was very refreshing and tasty. I took my food to go and eat outside in the night time, so my photos aren't really doing it justice. The wrap was filled with rice, potatoes, jalapeño, veggies, the pork, and a salty and umami sauce. The bing had a nice chew to it and absorbed all of the flavorful oil from the fillings. The tea smoked chicken had an intense smokey tea flavor and had a sort of zingy aftertaste. The cucumber salad was good as well. The canele had a crunchy shell and was soft on the inside, with a nice toasty flavor from the cooking time on the exterior. The small size made it a perfect desert for a super filling meal. I was so impressed by this place that I was so sad when I figured out that this was the only location and there weren't any on the west coast! I will definitely be coming a few more times before I leave Hyattsville!
Came here to try Chinese Bing (Jianbing). This restaurant is the newer one of the two northern Chinese sister restaurants in College park. This one serves food from Shen Yang, the capital city of China's northeast Liaoning Province. This province shares a border with North Korea and there are dishes similar to Korean cuisine. There were a few young women working here so I wasn't certain at first if but it became clear that the girl working in the front here was clearly a family member in this family business. She was very nice and very happy to answer questions and tell me about the cuisine. She also knew answers and had recommendations for the sister restaurant I planned to visit later on. It was hard to decide which Bing to order. She told me that the black bean paste one tends to be the classic one but that all of them are eaten in Northern china. She said she liked the spicy one and that many people like the burnt eggplant one but I decided to stick with the one I planned to get: The NE Sauerkraut X Beijing Sesame Sauce Bing" with fried tofu, Stir-fry sauerkraut with potato noodle , Dried beancurd salad and Spicy cumin mushrooms. They had an option for whole wheat but she said the regular is the traditional so I went with that. I was curious to see how the flavors all went with the sauerkraut. The first thing I noticed was the way it was served in a beautiful bag and with an organized wrapper. There was even a hook on the side of the table to hang the bag. They gave me a little tray saying it is very juicy inside. Inside the nice bag the bing had a paper wrap that could be teared up at two places. The first bite was very juicy indeed and so flavorful! I immediately noticed that unlike burritos, the wrap here was more like a crepe, in both flavor and texture, which I really loved. Towards the middle of the bing there was less sauce which made it a little less juicy and as interesting. I think I also developed strong cravings for Chinese sesame sauce the past year so I wanted more of it. The bottom had lots of sauce again. Everything went really well together in this Bing which I wondered if it would. I'd definitely love to try the other ones one day here or elsewhere. This place is very vegan friendly. My bing was vegan when ordered with tofu. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!
Must-try Asian Cafe new here in College Park. Try their Jian Bings! Oh and their drinks are a step above all of the boba/milk tea spots you know. Packaging is so nice too! Their takeout bag feels so high quality along with their drink containers! Up there at the top of my list when it comes to asian cafes! Add it to yours and support this local business!
Went to this new cute cafe and it had great customer service. Immediately greeted as I came in and they welcomed the modifications I made. I ordered the Strawberry Allover Matcha and it tasted soooo good. One of the best matchas ive ever had. Perfectly balanced not too sweet or too earthy. Great taste!
Super cute place with aesthetic foods. I like the interior, super vibey with nice seating areas. Haven't tried the wraps but they look good. Drinks were ok. Pretty but not the best. Tried the matcha jasmine latte but it just uses jasmine syrup in the bottom which has flower petals I think? So a bit off putting when we chewed something solid and chewy at the bottom. I think the butter latte with banana milk is pretty good though! Service is also fast and they helped us replace our lids when they broke. Will be back to give the drinks another chance.
Super cute cafe! I saw this online & saw they served jiang bing's which I've never had so I was curious. I got the eggplant one with tofu. It was delicious with a slight kick. Not spicy but the flavors were there. I also enjoyed the matcha tofu drink. The boba was chewy & the tofu added a lovely texture. I'm a fan of tofu in drinks now since it reminds me of a Vietnamese dessert that's similar. The matcha was a bit on the bitter side so not the highest quality but it was still nice & refreshing. Would definitely come here again for the food drinks & sweets. The staff was nice & I like the vibe.
This recently opened restaurant located in the building of the City Hall of College Park. Received warm welcome upon waking in. The food menu was on the left side wall and the drink menu was on the right side wall. The store looked modern and bright. There were two self ordering pads on the counter below the food menu. The Li Chun Bento Box came with the dishes as pictured. The Black Garlic Soy Seafood Fried Rice was served in paper bowl as pictured instead of Iron Plate in the name. The Northeast Sauerkraut X Beijing Sesame Sauce Bing came in a paper wrap that can be teared out at two positions, which was tasted good. The Strawberry Soy Hojicha was warm and special.
Cute new cafe. Will definitely be back from the Li Chun Bing. Very tasty and flavorful. Pricing is a little steep especially for the area. 16 ish dollars for the wrap. I wasn't a fan of the lavender matcha so probably wouldn't get it again but open to trying another drink.

This place is relatively new - very cute/nicely decorated and our waitress was friendly and helpful! However, the food was lacking and inauthentic, and the wait time to get our food was much longer than expected (looks like the kitchen is short-staffed). What we tried (best to worst): - Shan xi zha jiang noodle, D12 ($16.5): this looked enticing because it came with tomato egg, a childhood favorite of mine, and knife cut noodles. Both of those were quite yummy, but the black soybean sauce was way too overpowering. The noodles became drenched and too salty - I couldn't finish it by the end. - Hot oil seared noodle w/ minced pork & veggies, D1 ($15.5): my friend was really disappointed with this one - it wasn't what the menu pictures depicted at all / what we expected. The "veggies" turned out to be just breakfast potatoes, which was very surprising and strange. She did not enjoy this one, unfortunately. They also ran out of minced pork, which both of our dishes came with, so they "upgraded" us to regular pork. As stated above, love the restaurant vibe and loved our waitress. But considering the food quality and wait time, I don't think I'd return. read more

Very cute place!! A friend put me on to here the other day and I absolutely love it. The staff were welcoming and sweet and I was recommended to try their strawberry matcha (it was super good, saw two other people ordering it). The environment looked aesthetically pleasing and clean and it felt very cozy. Would come back again! read more
