    Located right behind Mr. BBQ, this is a good little place to get together for fresh mochi donuts and drinks. They have plenty of tables and the two associates who were there this past Monday were friendly. The only drawback would be the parking since they share the same parking lot as Mr BBQ. When I arrived around 7 pm on a Monday night there was absolutely no parking except the three-15 minute spaces in front of the store. If you're able to get parking, it's a nice place to stop by. But when I left around 8:30, there were more parking spots available. The mochi donuts which cost around $4 to $5 each is a bit high in terms of the price point but they're very fresh and unique. The smores and fruity pebble were both very sweet but the texture of the mochi donut was on point. Their strawberry lemonade was pretty good and they use fresh strawberries. The mandarin orange yakult and gui hua osmanthus drinks were good too. The mango bingsu has a lot of mango bits. Keep in mind that if you order this, be patient as it's made to order and if there's only 1 or 2 people working, it may back up other orders and will take some time.

    Sesame latte and oolong tea with oat milk
    Trieu N.

    Was in the area and saw new boba tea shop. Love boba so had to try some. Sesame latte and one of the oolong based tea. The oolong tea was good, and I appreciate that it could be made with oat milk. The sesame latte was interesting: good sesame taste though a little powdery. And I felt all the flavoring could be more harmonious... Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our drinks came out promptly. The shop itself was very spacious, clean, and inviting. Good shop

    Jasmine milk tea matcha, less ice, 75% sweetness
    Peter D.

    Nice boba place! I've tried the jasmine matcha drink here and it's pretty good. I think the jasmine is cold brewed, so the floral notes are really bold in this drink. The sweetness here is not too bad, it feels like their 75% sweetness tastes more like 50% sweetness to me. I've also tried their dubai chocolate taiyaki and it was ok! I liked the crispy edges and i liked that it comes out nice and hot. I got two, but I think one would have been enough. The taiyaki were larger than i thought they would be. I didnt feel too crazy about the dubai chocolate taiyaki so im not sure if i'd get it again. Would be down to maybe try their other flavors The prices at this store are a little more on the expensive side. Very cute, clean, and comfy interior though. They have plenty of chairs and tables for anyone who wants to lounge around or do work here. The staff are very nice as well

    Love that they use this Fellow Brand bottle $ 40 it's a really good quality keeps drink cold 4.30.26

    Review 66/365 Day Challenge Finally made my way here on National Boba day around 3 p.m. 4.30.26 There wasn't a line when i got there but after I ordered. The boba shop started getting packed. There were only 2 associates working this afternoon. One main girl making the drinks and the sweet associate taking orders along help assisting making drinks when she's able to. Service ordering was quick, since it was a day of offer with BOGO FREE for National bona day. Drinks were a little bit slower to receive a the massive orders of drinks. Was a bit bummed they ran out of boba so only got a few boba sample in the lychee dragonfruit jasmine fresh tea. Didn't get in my matcha drinks that I also ordered ~ Strawberry Matcha is pretty good. Use fresh strawberries. Matcha pretty strong and good. ~ Jasmine Milk Tea Matcha is good. Has a matcha cold foam topped. Pretty good drink. ~ Matcha Milk Tea is simple and good. Matcha is strong and hand whisk. ~ Lychee Dragonfruit Jasmine is refreshing good w real fruit lychee and strawberry bits. The boba shop is really cute and simple shop. Love the fresh calm vibe. Simplicity at its best. They have these hidden cups w crochet keychain hidden in the bottom of the cup like a surprise Offers yummy looking donut flavors and also carry chewy Dubai cookie. They sell cute merchandise. Located next to Mr. Bbq Korean bbq restaurant. Same building attached to the AYCE bbq spot. A limited amount of parking space available.

    Salted caramel donut
    Ana B.

    Ordered the salted caramel donut; loved it! Perfectly sweet! Also got the strawberry shortcake donut; soft chewy donut but the crumble topping was a little messy and a bit too sweet for me. The packaging is so cute and would make a great bday treat for someone. Thai tea was great! Not overly sweet and great flavor. Hojica tea had a more roasted green tea flavor! Great if you like Genmaicha tea! And the drinks are brewed to order so please be patient! That being said, my drink was a little warm so I would add add extra ice. The inside is well lit and quiet. Saw some people studying. Tons of seating.

    Very cute and spacious place next to Mr. BBQ. I went on a random Wednesday mid-morning, so plenty of parking and no crowds from either place. I was excited to try a bunch of their donuts but I refrained and decided on the strawberry shortcake donut and smores donut. Both were really good! Their donuts all look and sound yummy, so I'd love to come back and try the other flavors. I also had their strawberry matcha latte and it was done well, flavors balanced and not too sweet or milky. Service was friendly and my order didn't take too long. Note: all drinks are iced, no hot options.

    Mochi Donuts
    Esther J.

    Stopped by here after Mr.BBQ. Love the ambiance and selection of mochi donuts. Excited to try the Real Black Sesame Latte~

    Real Pistachio Latte
    Andie K.

    Oooookaaay, this place took me back to my childhood. From the RTD bevs next to cashier to the drink I got, it was all very nostalgic. I ordered the Real Pistachio Latte @ 50% sweetness and holy moley, was it so good. It was so nutty, creamy, and perfectly sweetened. We just popped in here to wait for our table to be called at Mr BBQ and I'm glad we did. We'll be back to try more items!

    Merch

    Been seeing this place on Instagram and finally made my way here. Came here around opening so it wasn't super busy yet. Pretty spacious interiors with plenty of seating areas. They have cute merch available. I love black sesame so I had to get the Real black sesame latte. I like how they offer milk alternatives free of charge so I got mine with oat milk. This was definitely the BEST black sesame drink I've ever had! It was a perfect consistency and the flavor was bold. Absolutely love it! For all the black sesame lovers out there, this is definitely worth trying! 10/10 recommend! Also got an almond hazelnut donut and it was yummy as well. Pleasantly surprised that it was kind of a mochi donut. Will definitely be back to try other drinks but the black sesame will definitely be hard to beat!

    Great mochi doughnuts here and the packaging is one of the best I've seen. They have a variety of different flavors to choose from and they're a decent size as well. When i went they were doing a promo if you bought 6 you get 1 doughnut free. Each doughnuts around $3 after the promo so not bad. Definitely worth checking out!

    While waiting for seating at Mr. BBQ, I noticed this newly opened café nearby. It's run by the same establishment, which is a great idea--especially for customers who want to grab a drink or dessert while waiting. The interior is beautifully decorated, and the shop is absolutely adorable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I ordered half a dozen mochi donuts and was offered one extra for free. I also tried the black sesame latte, which was delicious and wonderfully fragrant. Overall, it's a great addition and a perfect spot to stop by while waiting for a table.

    Newly opened shop with very cute aesthetics. The place is very spacious with plenty of seating available. The teas itself were a bit disappointing as they did not have a strong tea flavor. The menu made the drinks look very enticing but they all fell a little short. I got the Mango Passionfruit Oolong, Guihua Osmanthus, Dan Cong Duck Sh*t Tea. Their teas are not very sweet so you'll have to go a step up from your usual sweetness. The boba itself was chewy if you decide to get it as an add on. Overall the drinks didn't taste harmonious, and it made the drinks all watered down. I also tried their mochi donut, and got their Toasted Hazelnut Almond. I wasn't expecting the caramel coating which made it sweeter than expected. The mochi dough itself was nice and chewy though, so maybe their other flavors would be good! Overall service was great! Staff were helpful and friendly. Again, great aesthetics, but the flavors did fall short.

    Dubai Sushi
    Jessica C.

    Came for the Dubai sushi set and it was honestly such a fun experience. Everything looks like sushi, but it's actually dessert -- the "wasabi" is pistachio cream and the "soy sauce" is chocolate. The cookies were chewy, rich, and not overly sweet. Also really liked the drinks. The cashier was helpful in recommending us drinks. The double matcha is strong (in a good way), and the pistachio latte actually tastes like real pistachio. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for something unique but still good quality. The store itself was sleek, clean, and modern. Would come back!

    I found my new favorite ice cream spot!!…read more As a self-proclaimed ice cream enthusiast, I frequent ice cream spots at least 1-2 times a week (probably more than I should). I happened to come across this place on a Friday night right before a bar-hopping night with some friends. I just ate so ice cream sounded good. I walked in and it's a pretty small spot with only 2-3 small tables and 1 guy working. The menu looked pretty interesting, and immediately sampled 3 of the flavors that intrigued me the most: mango sticky rice, banana cream pie, and matcha strawberry. The worker was really nice and helped me out quickly. I asked him what the difference was between the small and the large, I thought it was just size of the scoop or bowl, but he said that small comes with 2 scoops, large is 3 scoops, and you can get a combination of flavors. That was perfect because all 3 flavors were some of my favorites I've ever had. I'm not usually one to hype up a food spot without good cause, but the price point for each size was really good compared to other ice cream spots that charge $1-2 more for the same thing. Not only that, these flavors were some of the best I've had. I'm excited to come back and try more flavors. Highly recommend this spot for any ice cream lovers, and I think I'm probably going to come back every weekend as part of my weekly routine haha.

They have a great variety of flavors, and you can even get a sample to taste before buying. Their ube is delicious and their mango sticky rice one has such an incredible taste that replicates the dessert so well. I ended up getting their cookie butter flavor since I am a big fan of biscoff and it was so creamy and delicious. You get small chunks of the biscoff cookie as well, which is great. For the price itself, you get a good amount of ice cream too! The shop itself is pretty small with only a table or two for seating and parking is slightly difficult when it gets crowded. But the service was great and they play great music as well. Try out their ice cream!

    Amazing bakery in the Fullerton area! Everything I had here was good and delicious…read more There were so many unique and pretty pastries to choose from from cakes to croissants. I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries. Overall, a great bakery and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Fullerton area.

What I ordered: Coco Pandan Mousse DESSERT: 8/10 I loved how light my mousse was. Most importantly, it actually tasted like pandan! I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!
