My newest obsession! I'm so happy they happened a location SJ because it's definitely more…read moreconvenient for me to drive to compared to their Cupertino/Sunnyvale locations. Tucked in the Rivermark plaza, this location is definitely smaller compared to the Cupertino/Sunnyvale locations. Despite the size, they are very efficient and I've always gotten my drinks within less than 10 minutes regardless of the crowds. Drinks here always hit! My favorite is their Snowy Dancong which is just the right amount of sweetness and they don't skimp on the foam. I've also ordered their White Champaca Matcha which was OK but the floral notes were too fragrant for my preference. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys floral flavors though. I've tried other drinks from the other locations but these were the two that I tried from this particular location.

Molly tea is always busy so I was not surprised when I came and it was pact. Even when super busy,…read morethe workers are pretty organized and got the drinks out in a reasonable time, and they give out cute bags to hold the drinks and were giving out random prizes to people with their order to celebrate the World Cup (I got a cute magnet bottle opener). Jasmine MT is the most popular but I actually like the Oolong MT better just cause it is more sweet and flavorful while the Jasmine is more floral and light. Highly recommend trying it out if you love deep tea flavors! Overall would always be down to go back to Molly tea, I haven't been to a location I didn't like :)

This place is dangerous! The food isn't cheap, but the pastries are truly some of the best things…read moreI've ever eaten. I've visited several times for brunch with friends, and my recommendation is to come early as the line can reach out the door and down the sidewalk. At the same time, I give a lot of credit to the staff who are always friendly and helpful with indecisive patrons who are always asking questions and unsure of what to get. Somehow, they keep the lines moving at a good clip. The inside has lots of seating but it fills up fast. And it gets pretty loud. There isn't really anyone cleaning up the tables as it is self busing so it can get a bit crazy and messy by midday. Somehow, I keep coming back to drop $60-80 at a time everytime I visit.

Sulbing is a Korean dessert café best known for bingsu, a shaved ice dessert made with an…read moreincredibly fine texture that feels closer to snow than traditional shaved ice. We walked into a clean, modern space with a casual café feel that works well for stopping by after a meal or meeting up with friends for something sweet. The shop focuses on creative variations of bingsu with toppings ranging from fruit to chocolate, matcha, and other dessert-inspired flavors, and the layout encourages lingering over a shared dessert rather than rushing through a quick stop. The biggest highlight is the texture of the shaved ice itself. The ice is extremely soft and light, melting quickly while still holding the flavors from the toppings and condensed milk. We ordered the Injeolmi Sulbing, which showcases the more traditional side with nutty flavors, and the combination of the fine ice, chewy rice cake, and nutty powder created a dessert that felt both refreshing and satisfying. The Tiramisu and Chocolate Brownie Sulbing turn it into a much more indulgent experience, with richer flavors that feel closer to a full dessert than a light treat. The presentation is impressive, with each bowl arriving looking carefully composed, and the layers of toppings are distributed well enough that you get a good mix in every spoonful. The portions are also a major part of the appeal. A single bingsu is easily shareable, making it a good choice for groups or anyone looking for a dessert to split after a meal. We found that sharing worked well, as the portion was generous enough to satisfy two people without feeling like we were missing out. Beyond bingsu, they also offer items like toast and other sweet treats, which give the menu more variety and make it a place you can visit even if you are not in the mood for shaved ice. The main thing to keep in mind is that the experience depends heavily on the flavor you choose. Some versions rely more on the toppings for their flavor, while others feel more balanced throughout. The presentation is impressive, but certain options may feel less satisfying if you expect every bite to have the same intensity as the first. The fruit-based versions, for example, rely on the freshness of the fruit to carry the dessert, while the chocolate and tiramisu versions have a more consistent richness from the base itself. Sulbing is a great spot for trying Korean-style shaved ice. The unique texture, large portions, and variety of flavors make it stand out from typical dessert shops, especially if you enjoy lighter desserts with creative toppings. The balance of refreshing and indulgent options across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the ingredients makes each bowl feel considered and well composed.

The concept is super fun--ice cream scooped into a waffle "taco shell," then dipped and frozen so everything stays crisp and mess-free. The flavors are solid, especially if you go for a DIY taco. You can mix combos like chocolate dip with cookie crumbs, espresso or ube ice cream, and toppings like pistachios or Oreos. The ice cream itself leans more sweet and playful than gourmet, but the customization makes up for it. Service is usually quick even when it gets busy, though expect a crowd during peak hours. The vibe is lively, a bit loud, and very casual--more of a grab-a-treat-and-hang-out spot than a sit-down dessert lounge.

Ok to preface; I am easy to please and LOVE donuts. I would always go to Mitsuwa when Modo Hawaii…read morehad a "pop" up and my go-to was ALWAYS the cookies and cream donut. I am so glad they have their own shop now!!! Did you know the shop also has poke???! Yum!! I was able to meet my protein goal for the day by getting half pound of spicy tuna and ONE cookies and cream donut (hey, it was cheat day). They make their donuts FRESH AND HOT; so it will be 1000% delish.

*This review is strictly for the poke, NOT the mochi donuts. The mochi donuts are delicious*…read more Been a long time fan of MoDo Hawaii and remember their pop-up days at Mitsuwa back then. I've been seeing videos of their poke and decided to try it out. After having it two times, I would say the poke is okay. Also, they forgot to give me seaweed salad the first time I tried it. While the poke is budget friendly, you get what you pay for in quality. It's decent and filling, but quality doesn't compare to higher priced poke shops ($18-$20). The poke kind of reminded me of Basa Seafood in SF, which I wasn't a fan of, and Basa is also known for cheaper prices. MoDo only offers tuna poke and I am a salmon girly. I'm not sure if they plan to expand their selections, but if you wish to try their poke bowls, get the half n half. BTW, I believe staff should be mindful of the rice temperature. My friend visited on a BOGO day and said her bowl was super hot. By the time she arrived home, some of the poke was half-cooked. I also came on a BOGO day but did not experience this.
