    Had the Taro Fantasy and it was a Fantasy indeed. It took me to a place I've never been before and it was Delicious! I love Taro so much that I guess you can say that I'm kind of addicted to it lol. Plenty of parking spaces in the Plaza area here. Plenty of drink choices and flavors to try. Would highly recommend this place to all who is searching for a "Tastea" drink. Service was very good here. They pretty much helped me on things to try but I just wanted my Taro lol.

    I really like Tastea for all their drinks and snacks. As for the drinks, they give a good amount of toppings and they have a strong tea flavor. It doesn't taste watered down at all. Tastea is 626 OG staple and I really appreciate the affordability, efficiency in receiving the items, and the fact that you can just chill at the store. There's a good amount of seating and they provide games as well. Not pictured but I do really enjoy their snacks as well. Their popcorn chicken, fries, and newest pizza rollz are delicious. They're hot and fresh and packed with so much flavor. It's perfectly crispy which makes them my favorite guilty pleasure snack to enjoy accompanied by the boba.

    I have been to this shop off and on, mostly when shopping at the 99 Ranch, which is adjacent. I like that the staff is very ready to answer questions about the drinks, making recommendations and making sure you enjoy what you ordered. Also a plus for me that their base creamer is non-dairy, and not with an extra charge. Most recently I tried their Vietnamese ice coffee with banana foam. My understanding is that they use fresh banana and banana pudding in the foam. It's an unexpected combination to me, but it works well. They also helped me adjust the amount of sweetness since the banana foam is sweetened. The coffee is strong and it's really nice to have fresh flavors vs. a syrup. It's a great stop for a treat.

    My new favorite item to order - Peach Me Sweet Tea - love the pieces of fruit and the perfect amount of sweetness! This drink is light and refreshing! Customer Service was good!

    Karate Chicken, Buttload'a Fries

    I honestly just like all their fruit teas. The milk teas are not somthing i usually get here. My favorite is the lychee peachy. I stopped by with my sister for snacks only and their buttloada fries always hit! Service is quick and friendly.

    Lychee Peachee

    Decided to stop in for a little treat post-grocery shopping at 99 Ranch. The selection here is ginormous so we went back and forth a bit. We ordered the Lychee Peachee large with 50% sweet and less ice. The staff asked if we would like a tea top-off since we were getting less ice which was actually very nice. The drink itself even 50% sweet was still too sweet for me, likely from the lychee bits so I would probably get 0% next time. The portion is very generous! Staff were very friendly too.

    This tastea is in a plaza that has a lot of other food options and smells wafting in the air. But it's a good choice for boba or for hanging out. They have a couple tables and benches inside as well as some outdoor furniture but it's best for small groups only. Parking is plentiful! The store associates are helpful with questions because the menu is so large and drinks come out fast.

    Calamari  & Buttload'a Fries
    Manny S.

    If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. I ordered the calamari and fries, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best I've ever had. The calamari was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, not greasy at all, and seasoned just right. The fries were hot, fresh, and dangerously addictive. You know it's good when you stop talking and just focus on eating--that was me. Tastea absolutely nailed it. I came hungry and left impressed. I'll be back, and next time I'm bringing people so I can say "I told you so."

    The Unknown & Lychee Peachee
    Vanna T.

    Stopped by for a pick-me-up treat. Ordered the Jujutsu Rice Bowl & Peach Oolong Milk Tea with Crystal Boba. The rice bowl was pretty good, but not great. The karate chicken and wu sauce were good together, but the rice and corn were very disappointing. There weren't enough wu sauce for all the chicken pieces. Don't think I would order this rice bowl again. Will just get the karate chicken on its' own. The peach oolong milk tea with crystal boba was really good and had the right amount of flavor and sweetness. Quick and friendly service as usual. Still giving them a 4 stars since it's always cool to try a new menu item. I usually order their fruit teas, but wanted to try something different this time. They're still one of my favorite boba tea shop in SGV!

    Jasmine Milk Tea

    This is a really good classic boba spot. They have almost anything for everyone to enjoy, all their drinks are very unique and delicious. They have consistency on their drinks, I like how you can customize some of the drinks to your preference. I like their Tiger milk tea but turn it into a slushy/ smoothie and it's an up charge but I don't mind. Also their little snacks and foods are usually pretty good, they have added more new food items recently. I personally love their buttload fries & fried chicken. They have plenty of parking in this plaza w/ the market & jollibee. There's 3 small tables inside, and about 2 tables for outdoor seating. The workers are usually very nice and fast, because I love quick service & efficiency. They have 2 sizes for drinks. Ones a standard small and the other large is 32oz which is kind of like an xtra large size.

    6/7/2026 BLACK…read moreTRUFFLE MUSHROOM DANISH The danish croissant had beautiful laminated, buttery, crispy layers. The béchamel was a bit clunky in texture. Good amount of black truffle flavor. Mushrooms weren't overly mushy and good flavor and texture. Gruyère cheese brought a lovely salty, cheesy flavor. Overall, okay, but not great. Arugula wilts and it was tough to eat after I reheated it in the toaster oven. I was advised to reheat the danish in the toaster oven before consuming, which I did. DUBAI PISTACHIO CHOCOLATE CROISSANT Rich and very pistachio-forward flavor! This was done well! Tasted like dubai chocolate in croissant form. However, the croissant was not as crispy and was on the softer side. Crispy kataifi on top brought that crispy texture. Savory unsweetened pistachio custard. The sweetness came from the chocolate drizzle over the croissant and the kataifi. Overall, enjoyed it! CHOCOLATE PECAN PRESSED CROISSANT Crispy, crunchy, flaky, buttery, caramelized layers! It does remind you of a flattened more crispier, buttery palmier and maybe even a mille feuille! The plain pressed croissant tasted like caramelized sugar with a buttery flakiness from the croissant. The chocolate pecan side was delicious with dark chocolate and crunchy pecans on top of that buttery, flaky, crispy pressed croissant! Recommend! 8 PCS ASSORTED MINI CHOUX SET You choose what flavors you want. I chose the following. Black Sesame Hoijicha - Strong hojicha flavor right off the bat! I barely taste the black sesame, except when you eat the black sesame paste at the top of the cream puff. When you bite into the whole cream puff, you only get the hojicha flavor. Very good and if you're a hojicha lover, you won't regret getting this! Taro Salted Egg Yolk - A new flavor that was added recently. You can taste the taro on top and the salted egg yolk on the bottom when eaten separately. But when eaten together, depending on where your tongue hits, you get more taro or salted yolk. Choux pastry is crunchy. This was delicious and definitely a repeat order too! I asked the owner and they will continue with this new flavor for now. They did not have the Koyamaen Matcha, when I purchased it via HotPlate. They ran out of it when I went to pick-up at the bakery, so they offered a refund or to replace with another mini choux. They brought back the Maple Pecan with Dark Chocolate Coating as a temporary replacement for the Koyamaen Matcha. But I opted for another Taro Salted Egg Yolk. Classic 64% Chocolate, Lemon Delight, Signature Biscoff Crunch were my other mini choux orders. All consistently delicious and done well. Please see my previous review on these flavors. RASPBERRY, ROSE & LYCHEE CROIFFIN This new edition was not part of Hotplate. I had to order it separately in-store. But wow, this was absolutely delightful! The cream had a pink color with swirls of raspberry compote and there were pieces of real lychee inside! The rose flavor was not overpowering, but complemented both the raspberry cream. The croiffin was flaky, crispy and buttery! This is my new favorite, very good and well done! I will continue to order this as long as it is available! JAPANESE BLACK SESAME CREAM TOP Love all things black sesame. So had to order this! This took a bit of wait time, much longer than expected. This was a simple latte style iced coffee with black sesame cream top. You can taste the coffee, but there was also milk in it, so it was a milkier coffee. Once you mix the black sesame cream top, all you can taste is the black sesame. So yes, it is a strong black sesame flavor in this drink. It was good, but not great to order for the second time. ONLINE ORDER Ordered via Hotplate.com. This has been the easiest way to order and pick-up. Super easy and not fussy at all! Once you order once via Hotplate.com, they give you the option for drop alerts via text when Browned goes live for future orders. You can also order directly via website as well. Make sure you have your confirmation email and order number ready for pick-up. CUSTOMER SERVICE Excellent service! They forgot to give me part of my online order and immediately called me and texted me making sure I won't leave without it! The owner and patisserie chef apologized, yet so relieved I did not leave without my order. She was so sweet and kind! I chatted with her as she was packing up my order. INDOOR + OUTDOOR SEATING AVAILABLE No seats for large groups. PARKING Free parking is available at The One Residential in basement P1. You can see Browned straight ahead as you arrive from the parking elevator. Personally, I recommend street parking. If you arrive before noon, there is free street parking right outside of The One Residential. It is much easier to drive out and also the parking garage is very small, dark and very narrow to drive through.

It is a bakery from Macau that focuses on crispy cream puffs that aren't too sweet. They come in unique flavors like Earl Grey, green tea, blueberry, and Dong Ding Oolong. I grabbed their six piece cream puff set for my first visit, as I wanted to try out more flavors at once. Luckily for me, I got some of the last few items as the owner explained that they tend to sell out. The puffs run a bit smaller than what you might expect from other competitors; however, it didn't deter me. The spot does not have a lot of seating aside from a few barstools, so you might have to plan for that. Once I got my cream puffs, the texture is what got me. The crispy outside gives a nice crunch when you bite in, then you get hit with soft cream filling that is "not too sweet". With clean flavors that come out without any artificial aftertaste, I really enjoyed what I had. The owner comes from Hong Kong as she used to run a bakery there as well before this. If you have the chance to talk with her you'll see how much she loves what she does. She lit up when asked about the flavors and shared a couple quick stories about her time there. Super friendly. Overall, I left happy and already thinking about when I should visit next. If you have been searching for a cream puff done a little differently, try Browned. You'll be surprised.
