The pistachio baklava will change your life ‍…read more Seriously. Flaky, buttery layers, the perfect amount of sweetness, and absolutely loaded with pistachios. I came in planning to try one thing and left wanting half the bakery. Everything looked fresh, authentic, and homemade, and the staff was incredibly friendly. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in--you'll be thinking about that baklava long after it's gone.

I stopped by today to try their matcha because they were rated 5 stars on Yelp, and unfortunately,…read moreit was such a disappointment. The matcha was incredibly watered down and honestly one of the worst I've ever had. I had been wanting to try this place for so long, so I was really disappointed with the experience. Definitely not what I was expecting based on the reviews.

VIRAL GA PEACH MILK MATCHA…read more I continue to get messages from local folks saying that they are disappointed in the local Asian food scene... Are they disappointed in the food scene or are they just disappointed that there are no good food accounts to show them the way? Most people have trouble researching local food, I get that. I understand. I have many thoughts on this, especially when your feed is now clogged with foodies that are only money grabbing local businesses and not truly supporting the community and it's innovation. If a businesses doesn't have a "social media marketing budget," that doesn't mean that they don't have life changing food and drinks. You just haven't found them yet, because the business is not willing to pay a model to promote them. A delicious moment is when you realize that OTP Atlanta is a food travel destination. Especially, Gwinnett county. Nothing brings back a specific memory like the flavor of a beloved drink at the coziest bubble tea shop. It is my secret, hidden gem hangout spot. These moments make me question my own origins, where I live, and just like many of you --- how I take Georgia for granted. 1 Peach Milk Matcha Latte - Creamy, delicious and not too sweet. I'm surprised how well the peach flavor pairs with matcha. 2 Yuzu Citrus Drink - Super refreshing and mild citron style drink. This drink is best at 50% sweetness and with crystal boba.

I have always driven past this cafe but never had the time to stop by. Well today was the day I was…read moregoing to check it out. Parking can be a bit confusing as there are some in the front and I believe having some In The back as well! The cute logo stands outside the door and the sign and once you go inside you are greeted by nice staff and a very spacious environment with an inviting ambiance. There was many things to do and keep yourself entertained such as board games, arcade games, claw games and tons of comfy seating. This place is perfect to hang out with friends. I ordered a Thai tea latte with oat milk and got tapioca pearls. They do charge you $1 for milk substitute and the tapioca will be 0.90 so be aware. The barista took his time allowing me to figure out what to order but also creating my drinks from scratch. He helped me out and gave me a bag to hold my drinks together. The drink itself was okay. It tasted a bit off as far as flavor wise but the tapioca was fresh. Thai tea was a bit too milky and almost as if powder hasn't fully dissolved. I think I will try a different drink next time as I wasn't too much of a fan. The service and environment is what sold me so I will be back!

I was a little bummed they don't make unsweet tea the same way they do sweet tea -- I try to avoid liquid sugar -- and the tea‑bag version is usually too weak for me. Not a big deal, just a preference. We shared an almond chocolate croissant, and it was really good. The atmosphere is great and relaxing, and they even have a quiet room for anyone who wants a little solitude. My wife was happy, and we'll definitely be back soon with our son.

Located in a bustling plaza with Publix and several restaurants, the area stays pretty busy--especially during peak hours--so parking can be a bit tight. I tried the Passion Fruit Blossom Tea with crystal boba and lychee jelly, and it was bursting with flavor. A little on the sweeter side for my taste--but nothing overwhelming. Each drink is fully customizable--you can adjust sweetness, ice level, and toppings to match your preferences, which is a plus. Inside, is clean, minimalist, and airy--a great spot to relax or take your drink to-go. The space has a calm vibe with a modern design that's simple but thoughtfully done. One detail that stands out: their adorable white rocking chairs. They're not only comfortable but also seriously cute--I might need to track some down for my own backyard!

I've never had boba or milk tea and finally decided it was time to learn more from the people who…read moremake it. I walked in and told the person at the register just that and asked for them to tell me what it is. And the look on their face was stunned and unsure of what to say. Indeed I was told that milk tea was tea, fructose and dairy. Well, yes I know that, but how is it different or what suggestions on what to try. Their coworker stepped into the breach and explained a little more and while it was slightly more helpful it was not really. How can you have milk tea and not use milk but non-dairy milk? It's Milk Tea. I ended up ordering the black milk tea. Do you want boba? With no explanation of what it is and why it's so great. No I don't want boba. I am underwhelmed by the service abs the product and not really interested in returning. And the cost for it is $7 with tip. For tea, whole milk and fructose. I hope that the persons helping me tonight take it upon themselves to be better salespersons of what they sell especially when someone comes in brave enough to tell them they don't know anything about their product and would like to try it and learn more about it. The two stars is because the coworker stepped into and explained it to me and she had a much better explanation and kindness about it.
