They've recently upgraded their menu and added a ton of very filling dishes. My favorite is the curry shrimp rice bowl..super flavorful, filling, but not too heavy. Of course the star here are all the bubble teas and creative drinks Tip - generally if you get on Uber eats, they will have a buy one get one free special on one of their drinks. read more

Come for the tea but maybe avoid the overpriced frozen and premade food. It's clearly not what they're known for. It also feels like an afterthought. Each order takes a mostly unreasonable amount of time to come out. read more

Came here late late around midnight and was surprised it was still open. The female employee was very friendly. I got lemon green tea with lychee Boba with 50% sugar. it was freaking good. Only complaint was too much ice. Next time we'll get less. my friend got a mango slushy which I was told was also amazing. Can't wait to go back to try other options. They also offer food, desserts and snacks. They have a small seating area. read more

I'm a fan of the desserts they have! We ordered the ube crepe slice and the pistachio ricotta cake slice - both were so yummy! We got a free mini coconut pudding for ordering $35 through Ubereats - I thought it tasted a little plain but my boyfriend loved it and said he's never had anything like it. The drinks we ordered were the mango pomelo slush and mango milk. They were both good but I felt the mango milk could've used more mango because half way in, I was only drinking regular milk. read more

5/5 for bubble tea. 2.5/5 for the Korean snack pockets. Overall the bubble tea was great with a variety of options. I went with a passion fruit green tea with light ice and 30% sugar. I like how you can choose ice and sugar levels here. It was nice and refreshing, not overly sweet and I'm glad there is now a new boba spot nearby in Bushwick as there aren't much in the area. As for the food I tried (I really don't know what these are called in English), they were both lacking flavor. I was excited to try them as there is a spot in Manhattan I like a lot called Yubu that specializes in these, and was glad they're now served closer to home. While they were okay, they were lacking in flavor in comparison. I may try them again with other options but for me they were pretty mediocre. read more

Ordered the boba for delivery Got the peach green tea and the lychee green tea Got 70% and it was crazy sweet! And that's coming from someone who usually orders 100% or 70% sweet. I def recommend like 50% sugar if you normally get 100%. Drinks weren't bad but just super sweet and not consistent. I got two peach and the two lychee green tea and only one of each flavor was super sweet and the other not as sweet. read more

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

Bookmarked this place for a while and so so glad I finally made it here! Ordered the Turkish eggs,…read morewhich came with a side of their bakery bread and butter. Was given 2 types - the baguette and one of the rustic loafs. Was also told I could request more bread if I wanted to. The eggs were poached perfectly, and paired so well with everything else on the plate. The bread tasted very good on its own, with butter, or to soak up all that yogurt, egg and spices on the plate. This ended up being a very substantive breakfast. I ended up taking 2 half loaves home with me after the meal!

Really good bread here! Scrambled eggs were nice and fluffy. My only criticism is the short amount…read moreof time we had at our table. We had made a reservation for 9.30 am and they asked us to leave at 10.05 am because they had another reservation waiting. Kind of weird to only give 30mins to sit down, look at the menu, order and eat your food. I had just finished my last bite and the plates were taken away and we were given the cheque. The waitress was friendly, just wish we weren't rushed out.

The shape is unique, which makes it even better. My only complaint is... why doesn't it come with any protein? Cost - $22.87

Delicious pizza. We got the classic NY and the hot hunny. Honestly not sure which one was better,…read morebut I did love the cook and flavor of the square pizza (hot hunny). If we come back, I'd probably aim for another square. Note to make reservations because it is a small spot. It's also not the best ACed. Wish they had fountain drink options though. I don't want a boogie $8 soda haha. Service was excellent though - friendly and attentive!

I've been dealing with some health issues lately and needed a quick, healthy bite to eat while…read morerunning errands on a Friday afternoon. I always passed by here and liked the trendy, bright beach interiors. The food is delish - simple healthy classics with lots of fresh ingredients and delicious flavors! I ordered the fire egg wrap and couldn't have the spicy sauce so the server, Bryan, brought 2 other sauces (pura vida and Caesar) for me to enjoy. The pure vida sauce was a herby green with mustard that was so good. There's lots of seating space with clean bathrooms and polite and prompt service throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and time here.

stopped by on a weekday morning for a quick bakery treat. i decided to try the chocolate croissant…read more& there was only one left in the case. the croissant had a wonderful flaky, crispy texture that paired really well with the warm dark chocolate inside. compared to other chocolate croissants i've had, this one probably had a little less chocolate filling, but the taste was still great. the contrast between the flaky layers and the soft, warm center was superb. the staff was kind, and it took about 10 minutes to get my croissant warmed up. i would say it may take a little more time than expected to get your food, especially if you're in a rush like i was. otherwise, the space is really nice. they don't have many prepared grab-and-go items, but they do have a good selection of baked goods and the option to sit down and eat. i also noticed later that they had some lunch meals available to go, which is something i'd definitely look into trying next time.
