Definitely worth a try. I discovered today their Cassia Black Tea with Cream (bubble milk tea) is…read moreone of my favorite drinks. The honey tea latte was great too, it was light and refreshing. The drinks took about 15 minutes to come out, which is perfectly okay, because they actually brew the tea instead of using a pre-made powder mix like most boba shops. I appreciate the cashier letting us smell all the different teas and giving us helpful recommendations. We will be back for sure!

And our teas were not very good. The taro tasted like pure cream and there were so many tapioca balls at the bottom of the cup that it felt like you were mainlining gummies into your digestive tract. The mango flavor was cloying, and the "traditional" ice tea coconut was too strong. The price point seemed high for the quality. Maybe because our first true boba experience was at Teapioca in the Arboretum and that determined our pallet about bubble teas, but we just cannot find another place that we like as much as there. Oh well, we tried.

With a name like Fruitealicious and an expansive menu that seems like it's trying too hard, I was…read moreexpecting very mediocre, powdery boba. However, I was extremely surprised by how decent the boba was here! This spot is located between the Ranch 99 (sorry for you 99 Ranch people) bakery and hot deli. Ice and sugar levels can be adjusted. They take your card to pay on their side between a plexiglass screen and then will ask if you'd like to tip. I'm conflicted in these scenarios because it's a simple counter store with no actual service and the seating is from Ranch 99. At other boba spots, there'll be wifi and seating from the actual store but this is a simple window shop. Obviously tipping is "optional" but tipping culture has been blown out of proportion so I've accepted that a default tip is something to include on any purchase when eating out and this is worsened when they hold the iPad and stare at you. Classic Milk Tea w/ Boba - first of all, boba is one of the best in the area for sure. It's chewy with a strong flavor, so it's marinated well. Classic milk tea is a simple black milk tea leaning away from the tea. The balance definitely is in favor of the creamer used. While the tea itself was nothing to write home about, the boba was fantastic and the overall boba is well made.

I haven't had snow ice in a while and their menu's range of options was pretty average: mostly fruit options, a couple of easy like Blizzard style toppings and injeolmi which was interesting but not enough for me to choose it. I went pretty basic with their strawberry one and I have to say it was solid: the snow ice was milky but light and not overly sweet. The strawberries looked fresh and not drowned in syrup and despite our semi-largeish group the folks behind the counter were patient in letting us decide what we wanted.

The large boba was $9 and some change and I personally always add at least a little bit of tip so that made it over $10 for a simple black milk tea with boba.

Taste: 7.5/10 Price: $10.74 for one drink with $1 tip Ambiance: pretty standard for fast casual, wouldn't be somewhere I'd hang out for studying.

I been wanting to try this bakery but the lines at the HMart location are always super long. I popped by yesterday to try their treats. Tous Les Jours is a bakery that combines French pastry techniques and Asian flavor profiles. Visually the pastries look French and draw you in as they are aesthetically beautiful. However, Asian pastries tend to be less sweet, which was the case with Tous Les Jours. The bakery had a number of sweet treats...croissants (sweet and savory), cakes, bread, to name a few. When I walked in the fresh baked pastries and bread smells filled your nostrils with a refreshing aroma. There is a small space inside for seating. There are tables and chairs outside, not fully setup, so I am not sure they were associated with Tous Les Jours. I purchased a croissant with a sausage inside. The croissant was buttery yet not too sweet. It was very enjoyable to eat. Look forward to trying other items...

Very kumquat forward and it was refreshing. I added & grass jelly to it. honeydew smoothie with honey bob 5/5 I usually don't like smoothies or milky drinks but this honeydew flavor was so good and it wasn't milky. Perfect balance!

Deli Rating: 3.8/5 [take out]…read more It was around 8 PM and we were just browsing the deli section when we noticed they were making combo bowls and placing them on the $6.99 shelf. We picked one up with pork ribs, roasted pork belly, bok choy, and white rice. It felt like a great deal, and since we hadn't tried the food here before, we figured why not. If you want to choose your meats, you can order directly at the counter. My husband got the 2 BBQ meat combo ($12.99) with roasted pork belly and honey BBQ pork. It came with bok choy and fried rice. The rice was pretty dry, but the meats were all equally good. The roasted pork belly is much better if you air-fry it and dip it in the sauce. The food is definitely on the unhealthy side, so my stomach wasn't too happy afterward, but nothing major. Overall, I still think this is a solid option if you're pressed for time.

The restaurant is small inside, not so much room so be mindful if you're coming in at a busier time with more than 3 or 4 people. The employee behind the counter was very knowledgeable and we appreciated her suggestions! We decided to share the Mango Bingsu dessert--shaved ice with condensed milk, chunks of mango, mango syrup and some whipped cream on top. It was the perfect size to split between two people. It was SO good. I appreciated the large chunks of mango on top, in the middle and at the bottom of the dessert--sometimes restaurants cheat you out on fruit toppings. In addition to the sweetness and tang of the mango the condensed milk added a creaminess to it that balanced it all very well. The sweetness of the shaved ice was also surprising--almost like frozen milk. It was very refreshing. We loved it and the pricing was fair for how much goodness came from this dessert. We will definitely be back to try more of their dessert options!

It turned out to be a bit too sweet for my tastes. It was supposed to have a cheesecake topping with graham cracker crust on top which sadly it did not. I could not believe the $9 price point for this beverage. The staff was friendly and had my beverage prepared when promised. Sadly the carebear collab was over in April so I will not get the opportunity to try that Taro Tantrum or Cheery Rosehip slush.

This location is…read moreespecially convenient with parking right out front and many other options to eat at before or after you get there. The inside is clean and very spacious and the menu is diverse but simple enough to understand all the possible combinations. Ordering was very quick, although they ran out of boba and other things midway through our group order making it hard to find something, granted we did come in 20 minutes before closing. After we ordered, there was a line behind us, but I'm not sure what they could've ordered considering everything was out. We ordered a taro milk tea with boba and a matcha milk cap. We typically order 50% sweet because most drinks are too sugary and this ended up being the right call because at 50% sweetness this drink tasted perfect. The matcha flavor really came through in the milk cap but wasn't too earthy, and the taro tea base was refreshing and sweet as well. Our drink was great and this spot is just so easy and convenient to get to, making it one of the better options for bubble tea we've seen in the area. We'll definitely be back whenever we get another boba craving and look forward to it.
