    I was craving halo-halo and found this gem. It's one of the many food kiosks inside Blossom Market Hall. I had the proper halo-halo I remember growing up eating. Sweet red beans, young coconut shreds, ripe jackfruit strips, kaong, nata de coco, topped with ube ice cream, leche flan, and crisp rice cereal. Staff took the order patiently and said the halo-halo will be ready in 10 minutes. There are tables with hideaway benches and bar height chairs and tables to sit on.

    Mais Con Yelo ($15 - 24oz)
    Ian A.

    I had a good experience at Tim's Thai Tea (San Gabriel). I ordered the Mais Con Yelo ($15 - 24oz) and Thai Tea ($9 - 24oz). Although its Thai Tea felt lackluster, the Mais Con Yelo dessert ensnared my heart. I happily bit into its creamy, sweet scoop of ice cream. I arrived at Tim's Thai Tea (San Gabriel) on Thursday (around 6:30PM). It's located inside the Blossom Market Hall. Parking is easy. The lot is spacious. Customers order at the counter or self-service kiosk. Staff is friendly but unmemorable. Staff usually vanishes behind the counter. After ordering, Staff provides an electronic pager. It beeps when your order is ready. My order took six minutes and 53 seconds. As mentioned, I ordered the Mais Con Yelo ($15 - 24oz) and Thai Tea ($9 - 24oz). The Mais Con Yelo includes Sweet Corn Cheese Ice Cream, Sweet Corn & Cream Corn Mix, Shaved Ice, Evaporated Milk, Condensed Milk, and Corn Cereal. When fresh, the Mais Con Yelo ($15 - 24oz) is VERY delicious. The ice cream is creamy with a robust, addictive corn flavor; its dry corn cereal toppings add a playful "CRUNCH." However, this treat is messy. It melts quickly!! As you progress, the treat tastes like chilled milky sweet corn. Unfortunately, the Thai Tea ($9 - 24oz) tastes heavy and bitter. There's an appreciated tea flavor attempt; however, it tasted burnt. Also, the boba pearls had a very off-putting texture and taste. These boba pearls felt like defrosted marshmallows. Despite the mediocre taste, I appreciated how the drink is thirst-quenching and huge. The Thai Tea is not bad, but it's forgettable. Concerning ambiance, Tim's Thai Tea (San Gabriel) benefits from being inside the popular Blossom Market Hall. It's filled with customers! The music is also very energetic and upbeat like a nightclub. The location has plenty of tables and seating. And the location is well-ventilated and clean. If I were to nitpick, Tim's Thai Tea (San Gabriel) would benefit from a hand sanitizer bottle because its desserts are so messy. Overall, I appreciated my visit to Tim's Thai Tea (San Gabriel). Personally, the Mais Con Yelo ($15 - 24oz) saved this experience. It's a beautiful and delicious dessert. If curious, I lightly recommend. 4.5 out of 5

    Mais Con Yelo, shrimp balls, kwek kwek, fishballs

    We got catering from Tim's chai tea/Mag's matamis. It was an excellent experience. Everyone enjoyed the fish balls, the shrimp balls, the kwek kwek and the sauces. The live cooking was a highlight! And the dessert portion was even better. The sago gulaman was the best and so refreshing. We also had Halo halo and Mais con yelo which were both delicious. They usually have their tent, but I am very grateful that they were able to accommodate our narrower but longer space on the day of. We did have umbrellas to help keep the desserts cool. For the catering package all the utensils and containers were all included. And they were very efficient and none of our guests had to wait very long for any food or dessert. Scheduling with them was very easy and convenient. They respond quickly and are able to customize the menu to your needs and they also print the menu according to your parties theme. I was very happy with their food and their service and would highly recommend them!

    Brings you back to my childhood snacks and I'm not even into sweets! It's also a little elevated which made it more fun :) I can't get over the mais con yelo option . And Tim is super duper nice!

    We stopped by on a busy Saturday night and there was only 1 employee working. The young gentleman working assisted every customer waiting in line with such grace and kindness. We were watching him make the drinks and you can tell he was having a great time putting the drinks together. The young man delivered all the drinks and orders in a timely manner with a smile. Thank you for providing excellent customer service. Enjoyed our milk teas from Tim's Thai Tea. We ordered the Strawberry Milk Tea and Thai Tea. It was delicious. The milk teas were not too sweet. The Thai Tea was blended perfectly: Can't wait to try other milk tea items on their menu.

    Thai Tea with Boba
    Winn H.

    Tea Bag - no, tea IN a bag... yes! With such a picture, I couldn't help but try it out for its novelty. Yup, I got the Thai tea in a bag with brown sugar boba - less sweet. The drink took about 5 minutes to prepare, and the staff explained how to enjoy it in their reusable pouch. A few sips later, I realized that the boba tasted normal and not like brown sugar - still good nonetheless. The Thai tea was on the watery side, but the level of sweetness was nearly perfect. The reusable pouch? I enjoyed the idea of being sustainable; now I just need to use it more often. The best part about it? It's included in the price, and it also stands on the table fairly well. A good amount of thought was definitely put into this product - credit where credit is due!

    Shaved ice!
    Kathy M.

    The staff is extremely kind and sweet! We found a table and they brought the drink to us! I can always count on friendly service here! I really hope this stays for quite some time because I love their Thai tea and shaved ice!

    Stephanie C.

    Halo halo!!!!!!!! One of the best! Got the large 24oz cup. Guy was nice enough to split into two 12oz cups. He even let us have a choice of ice cream flavor!!! The mais ice cream is the best! The other one had pandan ice cream. Located in the blossom market hall. In the center kiosks. Can't find a better halo halo!

    Mais Con Yelo
    Leo Y.

    Located inside the blossom food hall in SGV. This food hall has plenty of seating and parking with free wifi for all guests. The staff were super attentive and helpful in answering any questions we had. Unfortunately the mais con yelo was definitely pricey when compared to everything else served in the food hall. Tasty but not worth the price. order: Mais Con Yelo ($13 after tax) comment: I tried to get a cup for free water at the hall but they don't provide any cups. I asked if they sell water which they then replied yes but for $5.50. WHY WOULD A BOTTLE OF WATER COST $5.50?? Great service and tasty drink but the prices are all over the place

    Eric P.

    This place was busy. There was only employee and he was working hard. He still gave great customer service even though he was the only one working on such a busy evening. I didn't get to catch his name but it was 10/11/25 around 8pm. We ordered the thai iced tea and strawberry milk tea in a reusable pouch. Requested for no boba in either drink. They were delicious! The reusable pouch is a cool concept. And it came with a bendy straw for the LO. Thank you!

    Halo Halo
    Courtney S.

    a really cute dessert place in the middle of a food court! got the halo halo -- it was made quickly and tasted very fresh. there are lots of tables right near the shop, plus more tables with outlets upstairs. the music downstairs is pretty loud and more suitable for if you're chatting with friends. upstairs is quieter and good if you're working. the tables can get pretty crowded, so keep that in mind if wanting to eat here. the wifi is strong and held well during zoom meetings. lots of clean bathrooms as well.

    Crystal A.

    Very novel drinks that are brightly colored The taste is good but quite expensive. It was hard to see the prices from what I remember Service was relatively quick The food hall where the store is located at had plenty of seating and was generally clean. Overall I don't think I would come here too often for the price and location

    Buko pandan
    Lisa N.

    I ordered the Buko pandan and was impressed with the portions. Love the decor and service! Everything here was so cute and colorful! They even have shave ice. The Buko pandan had yummy pandan ice cream. It was a nice sweet treat after my meal. Very refreshing. I like the jellies. Apparently the boba was a free add-on? Nice! This place is located inside Blossom Market Hall. Lots of seating to enjoy your dessert.

I didn't really enjoy it. The glutinous rice balls look like they are store bought very uniform. The price itself is nice, but the portion/bowl is kind of small. But if you ordered something with glutinous rice or some sorts of carbs in there, you will still feel full. Service was just alright. When I caught the mistake that my dessert is served as cold on the receipt, I immediately went up but was told that they have started making my order already (only about a minute since I made my order). The place itself is very cute, got great decorations. We went on a Saturday night and they were super busy, but they make their orders SUPER fast. It would be EXTREMELY helpful if they can list out the ingredients so people know what they are eating, and which ones can be served as hot to avoid confusion. Overall, I think it is not a must visit place, but if you are in the area looking for Chinese dessert then it's one of the few places to try.

All the cream puffs were also great but personally croissants are harder to perfect for me so this is the spot for that. I also had a pistacchio cream latte that was delicious as well. The pricing is on the higher side compared to other pastries but if you're used to getting croissants elsewhere like at Delight (Pasadena), Bread Lounge (DTLA), Friends & Family (Los Feliz) then this is on par.

We tried Earl Grey, Maple Pecan with Chocolate coating, Hojicha with Black Sesame, and Taro with Salted Egg Yolk. They were all so peculiar and luscious in their own way and you'd be pleased by the full stuffing. If I had to pick my top 2 I would go to the last 2 and the Taro Salted Egg was even not to skip IMO. Perfect blend of sweet and salty flavors in one bite. Both the Hojicha and earl grey served very solid tea flavors with bit hint of bitterness. They did regular drop for the choux for pre order, but if you prefer looking at the showcase then making choices just like me, worry not as ordering was pretty swift and no long line.

The baked goods look really cute and enticing and I ended up going for a mystery box since I wasn't after a specific cake and the mystery aspect seemed appealing. I also got 6 egg tarts, which were a great price at $1 each. The baked goods/sweets looked better than they tasted flr me. The egg tarts had a texture that was a bit off putting for myself, it was more of a steamed egg texture than a silky custardy filling. Flavorwise, they were ok though. The mystery box was fun and I got an apple cake, peach cake, and a panda cake. Now the mystery box is day old cakes so keeping that in mind, they are like cream based "cakes" and are essentially cream covered gels/jellies of some sort. The flavor and textures were good, very light cream with strong fruit flavors (the panda was also a peach flavor, I think). As a set of the mystery box price, I think the cakes are fun to try but I wouldn't, personally, pay those prices for essentially shaped cream. I'm glad I tried a new spot but ultimately don't think it was super impressive and found most of their desserts and baked items to be average, or a little less so as for the egg tarts.

Can't say I loved it, as I think a strawberry infused whipped cream would have worked better and ate lighter. Their Red bean Matcha with dark chocolate was also not a win. The mochi is dusted with a very bitter matcha powder and the red bean is very generous but overpowers any chocolate or matcha beyond the bitter topping. Would be back for sure but for more targeted choices. Would order one to fill someone up fully. It's quite generously sized.

The café has a bright, cozy, and exceptionally clean interior that's perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a relaxing afternoon treat. Ordering was quick and convenient through the self-service kiosk. While our food took a little longer to arrive, the wait was completely understandable since the soufflé pancakes are freshly made to order, and the quality was well worth the extra time. **Crème Brûlée Soufflé Pancakes: 5/5** The crème brûlée soufflé pancakes were an absolute delight from the very first bite. Their signature jiggly texture was complemented by an airy, pillowy, melt-in-your-mouth interior that almost resembled a cloud. A crisp layer of caramelized sugar on top provided the signature crème brûlée experience, cracking satisfyingly with each bite before giving way to the soft pancakes beneath. Rich yet not overly sweet, the silky custard sauce added a luscious creaminess that complemented the subtle eggy flavor of the soufflé pancakes perfectly. A generous serving of fresh fruit on the side introduced a refreshing sweetness that balanced the richness of the dessert, creating a dessert that felt indulgent yet wonderfully balanced. Motto Tea Cafe truly delivers when it comes to authentic Japanese soufflé pancakes. Every detail, from the freshly prepared desserts to the beautiful presentation, reflects the care that goes into each creation. I'll definitely be back to try more of their seasonal soufflé pancake offerings and explore the rest of their pastry selection!

    I had a lovely experience at Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel). I ordered the Creme Brûlée Soufflé…read morePancake ($17.50). It's a fluffy, jiggly pancake topped with creme brûlée and glazed sugar. WOW! Each bite felt like a warm, decadent cloud. (Important Note: These Pancakes have a LONG wait. Each Jiggly Pancake had an expected 20 to 30 minute preparation time. Also, I recommend eating it dine-in. If you wait too long, these fluffy treats promptly get mushy.) I arrived at Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel) on Wednesday (11AM - Opening Time). Parking is easy. There's an underground lot for extra parking. Customers primarily order at the self-service kiosk. Customers must pay with card and insert phone number in the kiosk, but Customers can pay cash at the counter. Dine in customers grab a metal number that's stacked between the kiosks. Staff spoke limited English, but Staff is professional, diligent, and accommodating. My order took 24 minutes. As mentioned, I love the Creme Brûlée Soufflé Pancake ($17.50). It's plated and presented lovingly and seductively. It's memorable. With each motion, I bit hard onto its fluffy, lightly sweetened body. I savored how the creme brûlée's creamy sauce dribbled. It's layered, supple, and thick. I shake the plate. It dances. On ambiance, Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel) is comfortable. There's about seven interior tables and two counters. The music is slow-tempo and gentle. And it's clean. There's also a gender neutral restroom for customers. Overall, I created lovely memories at Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel). The wait is extremely long, but I found contentment at this journey's end. If you love wiggly pancakes & have plenty of time to spare, this is an easy recommendation. 4.8 out of 5

    SALJU HAS EXCELLENT SHAVED SNOW…read more=============================== I am so glad Salju is still in business after all these years! It seems really popular as well. While I was there lots of people came in. I used to bring my son years ago. My selection today was a small matcha with strawberries on top. I had the choice of two items in addition to condensed milk which I love. Next time I'll pay extra for more condensed milk. It was absolutely delicious. Even though it's about twelve miles from my home I will make the trip. It's worth it. The service is great too.

    small shaved ice ($8.5) - at first i was like why is this…read moreshaved ice almost $10 after tax but it is so worth it given the size, texture, flavor, and the fact that you can choose two toppings! - there is a great variety of toppings which I liked; i got the grass jelly and red bean, both of which were good quality ingredients - got it without any condensed milk bc it was already yummy by itself; light, refreshing, and a perfect guilt free sweet treat - the matcha was super strong and the shaved ice itself had a quirky texture; although it is shaved ice it has a texture leaning a bit towards gelato? A bit gooey when you pull it up; It doesn't melt quickly right in your mouth too rating: 4.7/5 - this might be on my top 2 shaved ice spot because its texture was just so unique; flavor was good and portion was massive - i really have nothing to complain about this spot and what's even better is the amount of seats and outlets in the store - has a restroom in the back - great spot to hang and chit chat - super welcoming and friendly service - service is extremely speedy IG: @nom.noms.only

    The ice cream is so yummy! I got the matcha and pure milk. My honey got the pineapple, but I…read moredidn't get to try his. The matcha w/ red bean taiyaki is good, but it doesn't need the extra flair, honestly. So tasty on its own. I'm not a huge ice cream fan, but this was really enjoyable. Service was quick too, if that is important to anybody. Definitely will come back!

    I was excited to try this ice cream shop out since it's similar to Somi Somi, so I went with my…read morebrothers after we finished dinner. It's a small shop with a few tables, but luckily, we came at a time when it wasn't too crowded. We ordered the ube and matcha swirl as well as a taiyaki with cookie butter. The cashier was quick and friendly. Total came out to $9 which is pricey in my opinion, but I thought the taste would make up for it. Ube and matcha swirl: Honestly, the ice cream was just okay. I definitely could taste the ube flavor, but the matcha flavor was weak. Additionally, the ice cream was not creamy. It was slightly icey. Somisomi's ice cream is much creamier, so I was disappointed with With Love's quality. Taiyaki with cookie butter: I really liked their taiyaki! It was crispy and slightly sweet. The cookie butter was great, but I just wish there was more filling. I do think their taiyaki is better than Somisomi's! Overall, With Love was a nice place to try for the first time, but I don't think I'll be back. I still prefer Somisomi, especially since they are actually cheaper than With Love with better quality.
