    Taro Crème Brûlée

    The owner was incredibly sweet and answered all of our questions! She made a slightly different drink than I ordered, but I was not going to mention it as the drink was great! However, on our way out she stopped me and gave me the right drink and apologized! My girlfriend got the banh mi pate and could not stop raving about it! The bonus is, you support a mother and her son by buying at this small business! :)

    I'm not one for writing critical reviews but this one is a must. I have had matcha boba tea everywhere. I know how it's supposed to taste and the texture of the boba is supposed to be. But this isn't it. The boba were all stuck together and I couldn't even get it through the straw. Which was very disappointing. The cafe is beautiful inside and that is why I wanted to give it a try. But even though my drink was made correctly I see such potential in this place. The workers are very nice and kind but the service is very slow. Which is understandable when you have online orders but I was the only customer there and I ordered one item. I waited at least 20 minutes for my boba. I hope the improvements will be put in place and I will return again and try another boba in the future.

    Brown Sugar Milk Tea
    Boon C.

    Tyummi very new in Gainesville. They serve boba tea and Vietnamese food Ana Banh Mi. They use to have popcorn chicken but the day I visited do not have it. I was having layover before get back to Tampa. I decided to stop here to get a drink due summer heat and bathroom break. I got the brown sugar boba tea. I got almond milk due to my stomach cannot take daily milk condition. The drink was prepare with not much of wait. After one sip. Here are my comments. The boba is not soft enough. It is actually tough to chew. May be they didn't cook long enough. The milk tea is a bit low in tea smell or fragrance. These are the two points that they need to improve. Good brown sugar taste.

    Lemongrass chicken Signature Banh Mi
    Simone M.

    If you're looking to try Vietnamese food, you definitely need to add Tyummi onto your spots in Gainesville to hit up! My mom and I attended the GCM Festival last month and they were one of the vendors that I had a great foodie experience with. I figured I'd give it another try, and oh I'm so happy I did! When walking into the restaurant, they have this millennial pink aesthetic that's so Instagram worthy. I walked in knowing I wanted to order a banh mi since I had it before but wanted to try some other food options. I glanced over at a DoorDash order and saw this bright orange drink with mangoes on top and had to immediately asked the server what this was. She told me it was the mangonada smoothie - and instantly added that to my order. In addition, I ordered a lemongrass chicken banh and the signature pho noodle soup bowl with chicken and all of the topping. I will say ordering is very easy and quick, however the wait time - was a little long. However, I do understand they make their food fresh as you can watch them prepare your meal. The mangonada smoothie is hands down one of my favorite drinks that I've had in a long time. Immediately you taste the sweetness of the mango with the contrast of the chamoy and tajin seasoning. The dipped straw is covered in the chamoy and tajin seasoning and just compliments it so well. Once I was home, I dove into the pho noodle bowl as the temperature was chilly outside. The broth is very clean tasting and adding the lime to the broth really hit the spot. Now, the lemongrass chicken banh mi is so flavorful. The baguette is very crisp and soft, and airy in texture. For the toppings, my favorite is that pickled carrot and daikon. That elevated this Vietnamese sandwich for me. I highly recommend ordering from Tyummi if you're looking to try some Vietnamese staples in Gainesville!

    Have come here so many times. Love the teas. I want to try their lunch one time but I always go for the tea. My go to is the passion fruit but this time I went with the paradise tea. Cute and cozy inside, quick service. This time however, I think there was some mold on one of my fruit pieces. Either that or just a weird looking seed?

    Today is the soft opening of T-Yummi and while they have a limited menu of 2 standard Vietnamese sandwiches, they pull them off rather well. The reason they lose a star is that there was a lack of meat in the sandwich. All the fresh vegetable flavors overpowered what little meat that was in the bhan mi. And now to the main attraction, the Boba tea (milk tea)! I chose the brown sugar milk tea because for me it is the standard and once again, they did a great job. Not too sweet and a very good balance of flavors. You will definitely enjoy eating every single tapioca ball until none are left. The interior is very modern and has clean lines throughout. There's even a fun looking selfie station that I'm sure will get used a lot.

    My favorite tea bar in Gainesville. The food is always fresh and the drinks are creatively crafted. The pretty packaging is a plus!

    Pork loaf bahn mi
    Kyle G.

    Tyummi is the newest Vietnamese place in town, serving bahn mi, pho, and boba. The thing that differentiates them from other places is the ability to build your own bahn mi, which I really appreciate. And boy are they big sandwiches. You definitely get your money's worth here. My biggest issue is the wait time for food. I understand that they have not been open for long but it seems like they just don't have enough staff. Multiple times I saw people switching through stations to help out and it caused a lot of slowdown in multiple areas. Do not come here expecting to get in and out quickly. I would recommend calling in pickup. The food is very worth it, it's just slow.

    Loving the cute decor at this place!

    Wow, I have been meaning to try this place ever since it launched with the soft opening in February! I never got around because of how busy it always was, but I finally managed to sneak in for a late lunch! Instantly, I was blown away by how trendy the interior was! Obviously not every place needs to look cute, but it's always a plus! Everything was super clean and polished--and pink (my favorite color)! We took our orders with the super sweet staff and then sat down to wait. I ordered a plain Bánh Mì with Pork Slices, as well as a Peach Fruit Tea with Boba. My boyfriend got the Phỏ with Meatballs. After a short wait, we received our food! The tea for me was perfectly sweet and refreshing, and the boba texture was very soft and chewy, reminiscent of Kung Fu Tea's texture, which I love. The bánh mì was pretty good, but the bread was a little dry and the pork slices were different than what I was used to (I usually get grilled pork at bánh mì places). Still yummy nonetheless! I tried the phở and while the broth was pretty bland, the meat and noodles were good! Overall, I am looking forward to coming back as well as see what plans they have for the future! I'm always excited to try up and coming restaurants, and I hope T-YUMMÌ will be a Gainesville staple!

    Is that fresh daikon, carrot, and cilantro?? Yes it is!
    Pele W.

    Happened to find out about bánh mì organically from some daytime show on network TV. Googled and discovered there's a local Vietnamese spot which seems to focus on bubble tea and similar beverages, but also offers a small range of their own fresh, homemade appetizer-slash-lunch dishes. Ordered the bánh mì sandwich with lemongrass-(clearly marinated)-beef along with pickled carrot slivers and daikon radish. This was among several toppings one of which could be added. Also got three (3) spring rolls in rice flour wrap also with carrot, daikon, and fresh cilantro, and unlike with the sandwich their online menu lets you add any or all the available toppings. Was pleasantly surprised to discover this nook in the Butler Center cranny, which notably unlike certain smoothie places that keep the odd chicken or other wrap or panini at arm's length just in case actually appears to prep things for their sensibly limited menu on deck for the day. I have yet to try any of their drinks, given my primary mission was to acquire and destroy bánh mì, and destroy it my wife and I did, with relish, on top of the particularly garlicky Tom Yum style T-sauce which melded excellently with the rolls. Maybe I will get us a beverage or two next time. One withheld for that reason, but food-wise, five stars well deserved!

    Signature Rolls
    Alexmary F.

    I've come here before and the signature rolls are delicious! I always get mine with tofu (they have honey btw!). The pho however is not my favorite. My boyfriend liked his chicken pho but the veggie one was not it.

    Sadly this place missed the mark for me. Opted to get a Taro milk tea as I do at new places to be able to have a basis for comparison. I asked for it to be 75% sweet and it tasted as if there were extra sweetness instead of less. Unfortunately, there was very few boba present in the drink and it was very chalky and tasted of straight mix. Considering the prices are higher than other places in town and the quality is below par, I would say there are far better options elsewhere in town. As others have mentioned, the wait time was also excessive as I waited 20 minutes for 1 drink.

    Undercooked or possibly reused from yesterday's batch. Boba is known for being hard as a rock if not cooked fresh

This boba…read moreshop is located near Raining Berries, so be mindful of parking especially since I went during move in weekend. The staff member was super nice when I walked and immediately welcoming and friendly. I went with the brown sugar milk tea with boba and upgraded to almond milk for my milk choice. The upgrade is $1 surcharge however he was super nice and gave the upgrade on the house. The boba shop is pretty small and has a claw game inside. The prices are pretty reasonable and he informed his favorite boba was a seasonal one, the hami melon boba tea which sounded good and will try soon! This boba tea was surprisingly not super sweet at all. It was very creamy and delicious. It had a subtle hint of brown sugar and the boba tasted like it soaked up the brown sugar flavoring. I highly recommend this drink. However, be mindful of trying to get to this place if you're a local as it's that time of the year (aka football season). If you can find parking - definitely stop by Tan-Cha.

The tiramisu foam is so good, I've been craving Tan-Cha for the longest because of their tiramisu foam, light and simple. It complements the green tea very well.

To get to the cafe, you have to parallel park just an fyi. I'd go through the pain of parallel parking to get another drink here! Highly highly recommend!!!

There's lots of yummy sweets in the bakery like chiffon cake, cheesecake, basque cheesecake, cream puffs, burst cake, mochi, crepe cake, french macarons, and more. It's near the Enson Market. It wasn't too loud inside and there were plenty of places to sit. I think it would be a great place for a date or to meet up with friends. My order: The matcha green tea w. coconut milk (no boba). I also tried the tiramisu mousse cake. The green tea was really tasty, the tiramisu mousse was just okay IMO. Why I left a four star review: There weren't a lot of dairy-free milk options, the price point was a tad high, and there are too many other boba tea shops in Gainesville with a better price point and flavors.

So the fact that I'm giving this place 5 stars means this place is stellar. It's not a place I would even expect to exist in a small place like Gainseville, let alone be THIS GOOD. BUT this place is THAT GOOD. The cakes were all LA tier, maybe even Taiwan/China tier, which is Saying SOMETHING!!! I travel a lot and my experience with asian stores in small towns has always been subpar. It might look authentic, etc but then the taste will disappoint and I'm reminded why the 626 in LA is known as an Asian food haven. But this store tasted straight out of the 626. I walked in looking for Asian desserts because I can only go so long existing on wypipo food tbh. I noticed there's a nice new Chinese market next door and the staff inside was all Chinese, speaking Mandarin - very encouraging. I looked at the cakes. They looked legit! Real Asian cake store level. But I still told myself to lower my expectations with the taste so I wouldn't be disappointed later. I bought four cakes and two drinks. Would have bought food too but their kitchen was closed (I came 30 mins before closing). Tbh, the drinks are just fine. I've had better, these were a tiny bit watered down - but still decent. The guava and lychee flavors we got were very prevalent and there was a fresh lime slice in mine. But the cakes!!! The cakes are 5 star. The cakes are LA worthy. TAIPEI worthy. What is this store doing in Gainseville?? I sure hope they survive. I have to come back to Gainseville often for medical events, so - I will be coming to this store EACH TIME. Please, please stay open for me. ;) The cakes are perfectly light, soft, not too sweet. (If you know Asian desserts you'll know what I'm talking about). The mochi layers inside were perfectly done, sweet, smooth, very QQ. Everything from the injeolmi flavor to taro paste to mango gelatin layers - all the flavors were there in just the right way. The textures - perfect. Lady M can't compete with the crepe cakes. The basque was cooked to PERFECTION. The mochi round cakes - like eating Taro clouds. This is not an amateur bakery, folks. This bakery know what they're doing. You have a gem here, Gainseville. I literally logged into Yelp to leave this review for them. Please do yourself a favor and try their cakes - Try them ALL. Experience the beauty of Asian desserts. I feel like every single thing here will be done perfectly. I know I'm gonna keep coming back to try more!

We had the strawberry and coconut mochi but they had other amazing flavors like habanero coffee, expresó , lychee , passion fruit etc. I appreciate that they had so many unique flavors you don't see often.

Before I say yes to boba tea, though, I ask the waitress for their dessert menu and they sent me to BC Boba Tea & Ice Cream. Apparently Swamp Boil doesn't serve dessert. Anyway, this cute little tea shop also sells some snacks and ice cream. Given my friend wanting some boba tea, the desire was contagious and I wanted one, too. I also figured it made more sense for the road as I had many hours until I would reach South Florida. He ordered an oolong milk tea with boba while I ordered a strawberry green tea with boba. Both were refreshing, but I think I'm happy I stuck with the strawberry green tea. Milk and long car rides aren't good companions and that's with me not being lactose intolerant. Anyhow, the service was fine, a bit cold perhaps, but it is what it is. They have a lovely mural on site and I'm generally curious if this and Swamp Boil are owned by the same person. At any rate, I would go back if in the area.

The topping selection doesn't disappoint either. I decided on seaweed salad, avocado, kani salad, edamame, scallions, and bean sprouts. For my dressing/sauce, I went with the citrus ponzu.

The zucchini noodles were nice and had a good consistency. This bowl was just so refreshing and healthy. It had a nice balance between the proteins and various vegetables. I really have nothing but great things to say about it! Overall, Poke Station is a really good poke spot in Gainesville. The price point is unbeatable, especially considering their portion sizes. The fish and other ingredients were very fresh with good quality. My bowl had great flavor and I left full and satisfied. I cannot wait to return and look forward to trying more on their menu in the future!
