As a plus, it also looks so cute with the little deco on top! There were lots of seats available when I went in the morning. The lines have definitely died down. I was a bit disappointed at the sweepstakes event. There were seven advertised prizes, one of them was a coupon. However, the sweepstakes was just a plinko game with 3 slots to win a 10% off coupon and 3 slots for merch (hat, tote, tumbler). The other prizes were missing.

I stopped by HeyTea Teabar for a refreshing treat on a hot, sunny day. I've been to several HeyTea…read morelocations before, but I heard they opened a teabar concept near Central Park, so I had to check it out. The line was pretty long, likely because it had just opened. If you order online, you can skip the line, although there was still a bit of a wait for drinks. There was plenty of seating inside, but it was quite busy during our visit. I got the King Jasmine Guava Orange, and it was super refreshing. The jasmine tea, guava, and orange flavors were well balanced, and the sweetness was just right. The foam topping tied everything together nicely. My only complaint is that I wish the drink were a bit larger for the price, but it was still delicious. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other drinks once the crowds die down.

I have been to this unique bubble tea place a handful of times. Along with the usual bubble teas…read moreand fruit teas, they have a couple of Indonesian specialties, which are mostly desserts, as well as beef meatball soup called bakso. The desserts include crepes, coffee slushes, and a handful of iced or rather "es" drinks. The staff here are very friendly, and there are a handful of seats. The first time I had an Oolong Milk Tea for $5.25 with added grass jelly, which was decent. I asked for low sweetness, and the sugar level was properly low. In terms of oolong, I prefer other spots with a stronger tea flavor, but it was better than some standard spots like Vivi or others like it. Regarding the topping, the flavor was standard, and they added a lot of grass jelly, which was a plus. The second time, I had the much better Es Campur for $8, consisting of Cocopandan, condensed milk, jackfruit, grass jelly, lychee jelly, tapioca, and coconut. This was a fun spin on the usual Indonesian dessert, which is served over ice, as per the name. There was a mild floral flavor, some sweetness, and plenty of lychee jelly in particular. The tapioca was alright, but other spots have a better chew. The bit of jackfruit inside was nice, as was the coconut flavor. This was good. While this is not my favorite bubble tea place (which is a given, as they use powders for many flavors,) it certainly beats out some of the more generic options. I'd probably go back to try their coffee slush or bakso.

It was delicious and would've loved to have another one with a tea later. I also got a chocolate sponge cake roll for 6$ that was delish. We had four slices back home between the whole family and I still have a whole half of cake left. The best thing I got was this soft bread with scallion cheese and sausage. The bread was pillowy and sweet and it was contrasted by the cheese and scallion on top. The sausage was giving hot dog but in a really delicious way. Best part is it was only 2.50$. Will be coming back for pineapple cake, sausage bread, and the wonderful customer service I received!

I returned to Audrey Bakery & Cafe for the first time since 2021 yesterday, this time bringing…read morealong my husband and two kids. The bakery sells many Cantonese bakery classics, but made with higher quality ingredients and sold at higher prices. In addition, they sell many novel flavors, including a pumpkin mochi bun, Japanese pork floss bun, and sweet potato bun. They have a very appealing selection of desserts as well, including macarons, mousses, Swiss roll cakes, Japanese cheesecake, as well as flaky pastry balls. They also sell milk breads, including a Hokkaido milk bread. I'd previously tried one of their birthday cakes at a birthday party. That was beautifully decorated and wonderfully light and fresh. Like most Chinatown cakes, it was mercifully not too sweet and topped with fresh fruit. This time for breakfast we shared the mango bun ($2.50), pineapple taro bun, green tea red bean mochi bun ($2.70), and the taro red bean mochi bun. My. husband also got a large black coffee. All the buns were wonderful. My kids loved the mango bun, which had a light mango cream, as well as teh pineapple taro bun. My favorites were the pineappel taro bun and green tea red bean mochi, which really did have a strong (and invitingly bitter) matcha taste. The mochi added surprising and joyful chewiness to the texture. We would definitely return to try other intriguingly flavored buns. For the classics I would go elsewhere that sell them just as good and at better prices. There were six tables in the back, though they were arranged in three rows of two when we arrived. We had a great view of the cakes being prepared for pre-orders and other freshly baked breads that were being laid out on the floor.

It provides a very creative twist to the traditional Portuguese egg tarts that I know and love. They have flavors like Nutella banana, taro salted egg yolk, durian, BBQ pork floss, creme brulee, Hokkaido cream. You can buy a single one or a box of 6 or 12 with assorted flavors. They also have samples of their traditional classic tarts to try if you're a bit unsure. The store is quite small and it located a few steps up so maneuvering with larger groups can get tight along with other customers. They have a kiosk at the door you can order from or you can order at the cashier. They also seem to partner with Cotti coffee - which offers various slush, frappe and boba drinks. You can download the app to get some first time user offers. All the drinks sound super good and are super Asian with mango, pandan, coconut, sago flavors along with other more typical boba ones.
