I've tried some of the pho, curry, and rice dishes, and some side dishes - and while I can't say they are 100% authentic, I can say they are still pretty tasty. Personally, I would like a more spice version of the meals, heavier flavors closer to authentic cuisine - but this just isn't the location for that kind of food so I totally understand. I would still come here for a quick, reasonably priced meal - especially a hot, noodle soup on a cold day. The prices are really good, and the portions are generous. The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is clean. Service is fast and attentive. The parking lot is a bit cramped with the winter snow, but convenient. There is plenty of seating so it's good for a small or larger group. I would take my coworkers here to get them to try Vietnamese flavors.

The lavender was DELICIOUS! Super pleasant lavender and tea flavor that wasn't too sweet. The taro was a bit sweet but had a very pleasant earthy vanilla flavor. Overall i think the milk tea itself was relatively nice depending on what you get but the tapioca is not great at all.

A decent selection of drinks, macaroons and merch. Service was great, since before me was a mother and two kids bouncing around while placing orders and he was quick to make the drinks, plus for me when I asked about apple kiwi drink if more apple forward taste or kiwi he give his honest opinion so I was able to settle on strawberry lemon tea. Plus when I asked for only 15% sugar he said might be hard to keep drink at low on sugar but he try. I appreciate that since sometimes having a specific order earns you a sign, but the drink itself came out perfect sweet, but not overly sickly sweet. Definitely a great place to get something refreshing on these beyond humid summertimes

I liked that they don't load it up with ice. I hate when they do that (looking at you Starbucks !). The taste was super light but it was refreshing and dairy free. Hubs got the coconut one and that was really good! It's mostly coconut which is great but they add evaporated milk which is why I went with the fruit tea. If they would make it dairy free I would be ALL OVER IT! The taste I had was super yummy. I am so happy to have a boba place near home and I hope they have great success!!! I think next time I'll talk to them about making that coconut drink completely dairy free, it was much better than what I ordered. The women at the counter were super nice and friendly. Their service is great. The shop is cute and super clean. I hope they get in some gifts and snacks. I also like to support local

Yoomi Tea is a solid strip mall bubble tea/ice cream joint. It's conveniently located in a big…read moreshopping center with ample parking. Unfortunately, they are located right across from a well established and well loved tea space. But, Yoomi serves a different purpose, I think. The space is very large - I think they can fit a lot more seating in there and maintain how comfortable it is. The shop is new, so there decor is minimal for now - I really hope they change it to give the space more character and a more inviting feeling. If they do, I can see this becoming a nice spot to hang out during lunch or after work with friends. I am a bit of a tea snob, so I'm being honest, I would actually give their tea a 3-star review. I asked for half sugar, less ice (my go-to) and my teas were still very sweet. The tea was not very strong, and one of my teas tasted too bitter, which is usually a sign of improper brewing. Overall I think their tea is more catered towards the sweeter, dessert side of the tea business, especially with the dessert waffles and ice cream. The extra star was really for the dessert. I tried their smores waffle, and that was actually really good. It wasn't an overload of sugar, and the waffle balanced out the sweet ingredients. The space is new, and there was only one person working the counter for my group of over a dozen, so everything took some time to come out. It was worth the wait, and they didn't give us a hard time about having a larger party sit there for over an hour. Hopefully they get more staff and spiff up the interior. I'd love to see more spots like this in the area.

The cakes look gorgeous and the decoration is on point. However, our ube cake felt pretty old and dry for 6$ a slice but not bad!

However, I'm not sure I would come back anytime soon. The people here are super nice, though the service is a bit unconventional. Come here for your standard boba drinks, but don't overpay for the ube cake...

I particularly enjoyed the Vassar noodle bowl, which featured chewy noodles in a coconut milk curry sauce (allegedly Malaysian, more Malaysian "inspired") with BBQ pulled pork on top!! I would never have thought to combine these two ingredients, but they work beautifully together. It's a very warm and comforting dish, and the mint, cilantro, and radish garnish helps provide a bit of contrast. I liked the sour cream drizzle on top, too. I feel like this dish could really be fantastic if they adjusted the thickness and amount of curry sauce (the noodles are swimming in it like a soup) and provided more herbs and radishes on top. It could also benefit from a crispy topping to provide textural contrast. I've had other things from here that I've liked, but that weren't anything special. Like the Malaysian curry, their chicken tikka masala sauce also has a very runny texture, instead of the thicker richer sauces I've had elsewhere. And their bao buns are honestly not worth buying, since they have no hoisin sauce or creamy aioli/slaw element that binds together the rather dry meat, pickle slices, and scallions in each bun. They seem to exclusively be a grab and go kind of place, which makes sense to me as it's in a college town. Inside it's small and rather bleak, without any kind of decoration and not much seating. They take a pretty long time to prepare orders too, so plan ahead in case you're in a hurry.

When we arrived we were told it would be just a few minutes as we were early. No problem! We had no agenda so that was completely fine. However, our reservation was at 1pm and we did not get seated until 1:30pm. It would not have been as bad if one of the staff simply came out to say sorry we will get you seated as soon as we can. There was literally no contact with anyone. We kept poking our heads around to make sure they knew we were there. The worst part was there were numerous open tables. I would've been fine had they sat us as given us some water vs. just waiting in the waiting room Once we were seated, our waitress was as pleasant as anyone could be. Very very kind. We ordered the winter tea service and started out with the tea sandwiches. They were very tasty as was the tea. Because we were so hungry we finished everything before the scones arrived. Once they arrived, they nice and warm which was a nice touch. However, the inside was still raw and doughy. I picked around it as best I could. The pianist was a nice addition. I just wish, especially with this being a surprise that it would have a better experience.

We had the best afternoon tea at Posh Tea Room in Monroe today! I had a rough week and needed to…read morerelax, and hit up Google for a spot within an hour or two. The photos and menu looked great - I had no idea they only opened a couple months ago, until our server mentioned it. You wouldn't guess it, based on the attention to detail and how smoothly everything runs. It's a lovely space. They take your coats, give you purse hooks, and have a piano player jazzing up the ambiance with mellow yet uplifting tunes. The table was set perfectly with china and all the accessories you need with tea. There is a fancy/classy, yet casual, vibe. We were excited to find out we could both pick our own teas and that we didn't have to agree on one tea service (for food). The scones and treats were the same on all, but the sandwich selection varied on the three different afternoon tea menus. I opted for the "classic", which came with coronation chicken salad, ham/cheddar/mango chutney, cucumber, smoked salmon, and egg salad sandwiches. My husband got the "teas around the world" which came with Brie/apple/honey, ham/gruyere/dijon, olive tapenade/sundried tomato, chickpea/tzatziki, and a spiced chicken sandwich. All were excellent!! And when we finished, they even offered us more if we wanted them. The teas were great! We were allowed to pick our own teas (didn't have to share) from a broad menu of teas. The owner buys direct in London to get some of the finest teas that are not available locally. I am caffeine free so opted for Marian Wright Edelman's Guardian's Grace, a fruity herbal tea that was relaxation in a teacup for me. My husband first tried the Elizabeth Cady Stanton's Strength Blend, and the also had Mary McLeod Bethune's Essence of Uplift. They were all different, but all very tasty, and perfectly brewed. It also wasn't lost on me that the teas were named after amazingly strong women throughout history, and that we were enjoying them at a woman owned business, on International Women's Day! The scones were delivered fresh out of the oven with your choice of clotted cream, jam, or lemon curd (YES to all, please!) or also butter. The pastries I believe are a rotating selection, but all were tasty bites. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, welcoming, and hospitable. It's a nice easy pace, with two hours reserved for your experience. It was a wonderful escape from reality! I really appreciate Laurie, Donjae, and Ingrid for creating the perfect experience for us today. 10/10 highly recommend. Call ahead for reservations!
