To my surprise, the pandan cream top is actually vegan. Salted egg cream top latte - My friend got this one and liked it a lot. Overall- Looking forward to coming back and trying their ube drinks.

The employee also recommended the Matcha Crème Brûlée donut, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. The custard filling was overwhelming and overpowered the donut itself. At $7.50, I expected a better balance of flavors and a higher-quality pastry. For me, it just wasn't worth the price. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the drinks, but I'd probably skip the donut next time.

So delicious! Ordered the famous mango sticky rice Ube mochi with coconut cream, Ube cheesecake,…read moreand a banana pudding matcha latte for this visit. I've also had their corn latte in the past. Food and drink so delicious. The mango sticky rice Ube mochi was so good especially when you drizzle the coconut cream on it. The mango was so fresh. The coconut cream tasted like they put a little something else in it. I seriously want to put that coconut cream on a lot of my desserts. In fact, I had some left over so I drizzled that on my Ube cheesecake! The Ube cheesecake had a rich, Ube flavor. The drinks are to die for. I especially loved the banana pudding matcha latte as it was creamy, and had a wonderful banana flavor with banana chunks, and maybe crushed cookies on top. I need to go back to try their other stuff!!

A cute shop! Very…read morelittle parking, and it is tight, there is a neighborhood next door with street parking if needed. Inside has many menus and things to look at, has some cute decor as well. Service was great. Everyone was kind and quick. I preordered the mango sticky rice ube mochi on IG and it was just okay! I saw on IG that these were the last mangoes for their season so I'm assuming thats why it was on the smaller side, but for me personally it wasn't good enough to come back for.

Last month, after running errands in the area, I stopped by Craft Tea House for caffeine. The…read moreshop's located in a small plaza with limited parking. When I arrived just before 10am on a Saturday, there was a staff member and a customer, so I didn't have to wait long to order. Inside, there was a couch and a few tables for seating, and the background music was great - very chill vibes. I chose the Mango Pandan Latte ($6.75). It was creamy, fragrant, and balanced the flavors of mango and pandan very well. Minutes after I received my drink, the staff member brought out another drink for me. They said that they re-did my drink because the first one didn't have sugar, which was kind of them, but unnecessary. I preferred the first drink because it wasn't as sweet.

I heard some great reviews about this place so I thought I'd give it a try. I walked in on a…read moreweekday a little after 7 pm. I was trying to order the pandan drink my coworker recommended. Unfortunately I was told that they just turned off the espresso machine at 7 pm. I ordered a couple of their recommended menu drinks and a buko pandan tea with boba. Although the ladies were very friendly and got my drinks ready in a timely manner I wasn't a fan of the drinks I picked out. I got the t'ube and banana pudding. The t'ube only had a very slight hint of ube and was very bland. The banana pudding had the banana taste and was sweet but I just wasn't a fan. The buko pandan tea with boba was also not to my liking. However boba was fresh and just the right amount of chewy goodness. I'd like to give this place another try and hopefully make it there before 7 pm to try that darn Pandan drink! Overall it's a cute little tea house to pass some time. They have some chairs and a tv that plays some music. Only down side is the location. It's in a very busy intersection on the corner of Roscoe and Woodman. Getting there and getting out is a scary challenge since people always drive crazy there. It shares a small parking lot with a handful of other businesses. Parking is definitely a challenge during their business hours.

House milk tea with sea salt foam and boba, 25% sweet - really nice smooth flavor, good sweetness…read morelevel, nicely balanced drink. Almost tastes like a really nice caramel/cookie latte. Dessert-like without being too sweet at all. Good stuff. I would order this again. Roasted Brown Sugar Coffee, boba, regular sweetness - nice strong Vietnamese coffee flavor, lightly sweetened and creamy, even at full sweet. I would totally drink this even tho I normally order 0-25% sweet everywhere. The boba in both drinks was nicely flavored and cooked well. The music is a little loud for chatting for us old deaf ppl but they play good stuff and it's a fun environment. They have a foosball table and some board games along with a claw game with adorable little stuffies in it. Service was really friendly and helpful. They encouraged us to try our drinks and make sure we liked the sweetness level. They were very quick to fix a mixup with missing boba in one drink. There is a parking lot in the back that had plenty of space when we stopped by at 4:30pm on a Monday, as well as easy street parking all around.

Ume Tea has been a go-to spot for me, and it's about time I left a review…read more We got the Strawberry Yogurt Slushy w/ Crystal boba ($6.75) and Guava Strawberry Yogurt Slushie w/ Popping Oats ($6.75). The drinks came out quickly and were delicious! I appreciate how you can really taste the yogurt in their yogurt drinks. Every drink I've gotten here has been tasty--not too sweet and ingredients are highlighted well! I love Ume tea for their consistency and expansive menu! They have a drink for everyone, and I love how they keep things exciting by adding new drinks to their menu every so often. While there is limited seating, the option between a self-service kiosk or ordering the old-fashioned way makes for a quick, convenient experience. This location is found in a strip mall with plenty of parking too. Overall, Ume Tea has become my go-to place for boba! Highly recommend their yogurt slushies.

I have been here a few times. My kid likes their taro shake with boba. We tried their ceylon tea,…read moremango yogurt, oreo creme brule, uji boba matcha latte with ice cream. My son didn't like the oreo creme brule so he sticks to taro shake. Their prices are reasonable and they give a good amount of boba compared to some other places. I am giving them 4 stars because during my last visit, their boba was hard, which means it was undercooked or old. That's some rookie mistakes for a boba shop. Hopefully it will be better next time.

I stopped by Chala Boba on a weekday afternoon only to discover that there was a small parking lot…read morelimited to 30 minutes with difficult parking on the street and no display of Wi-Fi. This is not a spot to really get work done. Drinks, though? I wasn't sure what to order and felt adventurous with an avocado smoothie. It definitely hit the spot and was smooth, creamy, and lightly sweet. There was a bit of air in the cup (unsure if normal?), and most of the experience felt very transactional (get in, et out type of service). For that reason, I didn't stick around too long. While I was the only one ordering, the drink took about 10 minutes. While waiting, I enjoyed their shelf displays and interior decor before heading out. Glad to have tried it, but not sure if I'll be returning especially with that parking situation - definitely not a study / work spot with only 30 minutes of parking.

Jam Jam Tea Lab is my favorite boba spot!…read more They have an excellent variety of both milk teas and fruity drinks. My go-to orders are the White Peach with Cheese Foam when I'm craving something light and creamy, or the Mango Pomelo when I want something refreshing and blended. It's easily the best-value boba I've found in the area, most drinks are only $7-8, and they don't compromise on the quality. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and I love the cute, atmosphere inside. They even offer free stickers at the register, which is such a fun little touch. Be sure to sign up for their rewards program when you order i've already earned $10 in rewards points!
