    Umami Soy Sauce Thai Tea 5/10 Umami Treat Ice Cream 5/10
    Jenng C.

    I came here to try their summer special Lee Kum Kee series and was sadly disappointed. Their Umami Soy Sauce Thai Tea did not taste umami at all. It just tasted like a regular Thai tea, albeit not too sweet which I liked. The Umami Treat Ice Cream was savory, kinda like a salted vanilla caramel, but I could not taste the oyster sauce. I know it's meant to just have a touch of oyster sauce to bring out the umami flavor but I couldn't even taste a hint of it. The place is really cute and their other items look appetizing. I would have loved to try their Kopi Latte and Mango Sticky Rice Smoothie, but after this disappointing collab, I feel like this is just another spot thats overhyped on IG and TikTok.

    Price - $16 including tax Food - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 I came back yet again and ordered their Sweet Thai Tea and Thai tea latte! I love how strong their Thai tea is at this shop. It never disappoints me! Definitely remember to mix your drinks or else all the Thai tea will be stuck on the bottom (haha) The service and ambiance were so nice and vibey. I definitely recommend checking this place out in the future!

    Thai Tea Latte - Probably a top 3 Thai Tea I've had in my life, their Thai Tea Latte is very fragrant and the black tea flavor is much stronger than most other Thai Tea drinks I've had before. Would come back here just for the Thai Tea. Rating: 9/10 Kaya Toast Parfait - Consists of Kaya Toast (toasted bread with pandan jam) topped with Thai Tea ice cream and crumble. The pandan jam was not too sweet and had good flavor, and the thai tea + pandan flavors blended well together on the toast. Rating: 7.5/10 Mango Sticky Rice Smoothie (from the summer menu) - The last thing we tried, I was skeptical and unfortunately wasn't a big fan. The concept of drinking sticky rice from a straw felt weird to me and also made it difficult to drink. The mango flavor was also a bit muted. Rating: 4.5/10 I am interested in coming back to try their mango sticky rice ice cream, as I'd probably enjoy that more than a drink though You ring a bell for service which was very fast. There is not much seating inside (3-4 tables max), but if it's a nice day there some seating outside. (The building is large but most of it is kitchen/not public seating)

    Beautiful tea place. The drinks where so delicious. The service was amazing there is a little bell you could ring if there wasn't someone taking your order. Def recommend :))

    Came in on a Saturday because I saw videos that they are doing a collab with Lee Kum Kee and the new collab items look intriguing! Who would have thought to put oyster sauce in an ice cream or put sesame oil in a drink! They have a spacious outdoor seating however we choose not to sit outside due to the hot weather. We sat indoors by the bar seats. When we came in, the store was already filled with people enjoying food. And some of the people were waiting for their order by the register. The interior store layout is like a rectangle. They have small cards on old school vending machines for sale. There were six designs to choose from. We waited for a bit for our umami treat ice cream with lee kum kee's premium oyster sauce. It was an interesting combination. The item has red bean paste and coconut wafers. The ice cream goes surprisingly well with the red bean paste! Would love to try their sesame drink the next time I'm around the area!

    Cute spot. Their Thai iced tea is okay. The other drink we got is soo sweet. Best thing here is the Thai tea ice cream. That I would come back for.

    Came for the Pandan Wafer, but they were sold out! It was probably my fault for showing up 40 min before closing, but I had hoped for a miracle. Sigh. Next time. Instead, I got the pandan ice-cream with toasted coconut and cigar cookie. It was creamy, not too sweet and full of the subtle nuttiness of this amazing plant. Yum. Now I HAVE to come back for its wafer cousin. The space has some seating for maybe eight people total, but it's claustrophobically narrow and you'll be playing twister just to get to the trash can.

    Pretty tasty food. I just wish I came on a different day. This cafe had a partnership with the app Taste, which had a promotion of either free banana pudding or $5 off a purchase. By the early afternoon, the banana pudding option was sold out, but I still wanted to try the popular Thai tea themed items. The service was slow, but there was a seated outdoor area. I also saw a print machine, which was so cool as it featured pets! After getting my food, I must say that it was sweeter than I had expected, yet had the typical Thai tea flavor. It was honestly pretty good, with crumbles on top. The ambiance was chill and calm, I'd come back for the other food/drinks.

    Came here for the free taste app, banana pudding, but didn't realize it wasn't till Saturday lol. We ended up getting the banana pudding since it was like six bucks. Not bad! I did expect the Thai tea taste to be stronger. I also was a bit thrown off because I thought it would be cold and creamier because they said it was pudding. Still not bad tho! We got to sit in a nice space outside and the staff member was so sweet.

    I was affronted at the cost of this but then saw that it was a gigantic scoop of ice cream. I don't know how I did it but I finished it on my own. I feel like this was more of a two or three person ice cream serving. Very tasty ice cream, service seemed a little slow only because I think it was just one guy running everything and there was a little bell to call the guy to the register. Place is tiny but you can enjoy your treats outside as well. Be warned - whatever you order that has ice cream on it, know that the ice cream scoop will be VERY big. I saw someone order an affogato and it was a gigantic drink. Looked awesome but please plan to share it with someone.

    Note- Shorter review than most that I do, as I only ordered 1 thing as a snack/drink. I went here a good while back to this small Thai dessert and coffee cafe for a bit of a pick-me-up while walking. Meaning "deliciously blended," they offer a small selection of Thai-inspired beverages, including tea and coffee, along with a handful of desserts, such as toasts and ice cream. The staff was friendly, and the place inside, while small, seems like a nice place to work, with a warm and comforting atmosphere. I went with the Signature Blend Thai Tea Latte, available hot or iced, with the usual coffee/tea sizes: 8 to 12 oz for hot and 12 to 16 oz for the large. I went with iced, and it was $7 or $7.50 depending on size, and I went with the latter. It was very tasty, with the tea flavor shining through, unlike most variants. It wasn't overly sweet from the various milks, with enough spices to make it distinctly the Thai version of this drink. For the same price point, you can also order it hot, without milk, or mixed with lemonade, along with an oat option for an extra dollar. This is a tasty little specialty shop. I would go back here and try the pandan toast or another drink.

    Came in around noon on a Saturday. The store is small but has a really nice ally garden next to it to sit in. The service situation here is odd, and additionally they told me they weren't serving the wafers but didn't tell me why. It was so early I can't imagine they were sold out but who knows. I ended up getting the Thai tea float with almond milk and I have to say the almond milk didn't effect the tea, which wasn't too sweet but was a good strong flavor so over all liked the tea. I love really liked the Thai tea ice cream on top. It was also a great strong flavor but not too sweet. I honestly felt like the tea would have been better with a thick whipped cream on toast which for some reason was what I was expected? Not sure why but something odd with the combination. Would come back to try other things but probably wouldn't get the same thing again.

    Dessert/Drinks: 4.5/5 Service: 4.75/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 2.5/5 This is a cute, cozy cafe tucked away in Midtown, specializing in delicious Southeast Asian inspired flavors. The dessert and drinks are exceptional, though the prices can be a little steep What we tried: Thai Iced Tea (4.75/5): Absolutely loved this! It had a strong, authentic tea flavor and was perfectly balanced--sweet but not overwhelmingly so. Definitely a must-order. Pandan Ice Cream (5/5): Five stars all the way. The pandan flavor was strong and natural, and it achieved that rare feat of being wonderfully rich without being excessively sweet. Kaya Thai Tea Toast (3.75/5): This was my least fave. While okay, I think it would be significantly better if it were served with a scoop of ice cream to complement the toast which is the parfait on the menu Tip: They offer a free Thai Iced Tea if you leave a Google review!

    Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
