    Entering the boba cafe, we were exposed to a bunch of toy machines directly in front of us with a kiosk machine. The plants decors, to our immediate left, creates a comforting atmosphere. I loved how cute and unique this cafe is and it made me feel like a kid again. I tried the Double Purple Bliss with brown sugar amble bubble, purple rice & ube paste for the first time and I loved it! Definitely coming back to try different drinks.

    Cute little boba place on bell blvd right near the LIRR station. It's small and cozy with a couple of little nooks with seating areas. The cashier was helpful in navigating the menu and giving recommendations. I got the (non alcoholic) peach tea mojito with boba. The peach tea mojito is carbonated and very refreshing with fresh lime and mint in the drink. The boba is well made, soft, and not tough to chew. The Mango tea slush was delicious and not very sweet. It was not icy like some other boba places. Would definitely come again!

    Sooo good! Loved everything that we got! We were walking the blvd and saw it and the atmosphere is quaint while the service is great! Next time I'm in the area, I'll be back!

    There are quite a few bubble tea spots on Bell Blvd these days, so I think you have to bring it to join the pack. Kudos to Tsaocaa for offering a generous B1G1 special for their grand opening. It was quite a savings. The teas were less than ideal. I didn't think my order was correct, tried to ask clarifying questions and the employee just slid it back to me. They offer a wide variety but could not really help Specify the ice/ sweetness ration like other places do. This resulted in very sweet teas that weren't flavorful. The donuts look promising! I'll stick to my other black and pink spot down the block...

    Great service, nice people, good drinks and donuts. Trendy decor, good atmosphere. We've been twice and will keep coming.

    Newly opened. BOGO any drinks til 8/8/22 as per cashier despite the store poster says 8/5 only. Cash only. My order was wrong. I asked for no sugar and given regular sugar despite I explained it again after seeing on the receipt. They were not busy but drink took longer than normal wait time. We ordered: - peach oolong tea with nata jelly: Good peach and tea flavor but too heavy in taste in syrup instead of fresh food. - Jasmine with green tea with bubbles: Bubbles ok, good jasmine flavor, milk taste was smooth but they gave me wrong order. I wanted no sugar but ended up regular sugar. My friend picked up the order. I was home already when I noticed so I didn't request a change. - Mango coconut slush: fate fruit flavor. Not strong enough. - pineapple passion fruit tea: lots of ingredients, best of the 4. But it will be better if less syrup taste. Overall, it's understandable that all the mistakes it made due to new opening. They are offering BOGO til 8/8/22 so I don't mind the mistakes. Just be patient and check your order before leaving. I will go back during promotion period to give it another try. Friendly service.

    Yet another bubble tea place has joined the Bell Blvd scene! What is interesting about this place is the sheer variety of what it offers: an extensive menu of bubble tea options plus mochi donuts and other food options like HK bubble waffles, fries and wings. On top of this, they have indoor seating. The drink menu is extensive but caffeine free options and dairy alternatives were not clearly visible or marked on the menu (Teazzi is good about this). Of course you can ask the staff, but I personally like it when I can just pick things out quickly. Right now, as part of their opening, they are offering BOGO on all their drinks, so it's a great time to try out different flavors. The drinks I have tried so far have been mild - not too sweet and the toppings have been decent. The indoor seating feels a little bit cluttered in the small space but a nice to have when it's just two people sitting down for a drink. Edit: So when I ask clarifying questions the answers are vague. Noticed the drinks are like 80% ice with little drink. Be sure to ask for less ice. When taking out mochi donut, it's put in a plastic baggie so the frosting gets smeared everywhere. Not ideal.

    TSAOCAA is a bubble tea shop in Bayside with various locations franchised throughout the US. My favorite drink here is the purple sweet potato milk tea. Unfortunately they don't always carry it. The drinks are always fresh and made to order. One improvement that can be made is cleaner cups because there is sugary sticky residue when I pick up my cup sometimes. This used to be a mochi donut ship but they extended their menu to offer Chinese bbq and street snacks as well.

    Always pass by this bubble tea place and finally trying it for the first time. Found out they have egg waffle which is surprising! Their drinks are alright but matcha egg waffle are pretty good!

    Mochi donuts
    Radhika K.

    The mochi donuts were delicious and there were so many flavors too. Bubble tea was also delicious although a bit on the sweeter side. Definitely like the vibe of this tea shop as it's different than most bubble tea shops. Definitely would come again! The staff was extremely nice, only one person was working at the time there. But it wasn't crowded so we got our drinks and food instantly.

    I gave this Tsaocaa three chances! I won't be coming back! Don't waste your money! Most of their food is prepared using seasoning packets and very few frozen ingredients, the portions are small, but the prices are not cheap and the drinks are all additives and flavors, if you want Chinese food you can go to hot pot on the left, at the very least you can get fresh food. If you want a drink, you can go to the milk tea shop on their right and you can get real tea and milk. Don't wasting your money here.Look the picture, the BBQ gluten, which was completely different from the picture on the menu, could be considered a level of fraud. My brother wanted to try it because the menu showed a large spiral gluten, but what they actually gave me was like a regular sliced rice cake.The grilled lamb, lamb is only the size of my fingernail,3 for $5, the taste is ordinary, very uneconomical, the only good thing is that this is real lamb.

    Cozy nook by the window and plants

    The mochi donuts are so good!! My favorite is the almond chocolate! The second time we visited, we tried the peach oolong tea and coconut mango slush and they were both delicious and refreshing! Inside was very welcoming, I loved sitting in the cozy nook by the window and plants. The woman behind the counter was also really friendly and helpful!

    It's been six years since I last came here. The food is still pretty good and the service was…read morefriendly, but overall I found the sandwiches a bit overpriced. The menu has very detailed, almost elevated descriptions that make everything sound spectacular, but in practice the flavors don't quite come through, especially the sauces, which are barely noticeable. Our server was flexible when we asked to swap the potato chips for fries on the kids' grilled cheese meal, which we appreciated. However, we were then charged $1.40 for a side of ranch for the fries. I understand they have a range of specialty sauces and dips that are clearly priced on the menu, but that still felt steep for ranch. They also offer a combo option to add fries for $5, but the portion doesn't really feel aligned with the price. The steak sandwich itself was surprisingly tender, even though it looked like it might be tough. That said, I couldn't taste the roasted red pepper sauce, and the "sweet onion jam" turned out to just be caramelized onions. My mother actually ended up picking them out because she doesn't eat onions. (she won't eat onions that she can see) The buffalo cauliflower was tasty, but could have been crispier. The "serves two" description also felt a bit generous given the small portion. I also ordered a brisket sandwich to go with fries. The coleslaw sounded great on the menu, but in reality the flavors didn't stand out, no real hint of jalapeño, just a fairly standard slaw. Overall, the food descriptions felt more impressive than the actual execution, though the to-go fries portion was more generous, which was a nice surprise. Would I go back? I'm not sure. Maybe for a casual visit with a few beers and fries with an assortment of dipping sauces...I am a sucker for those.

I…read morelove that they use unbromated flour and I appreciate that every piece (even the specialty slices with many heavy toppings) has great structure, no flop. Thin & crispy crust, great ratio of sauce and cheese. I also love how clean the restaurant is. They have some incredible specialty slices that I never knew I needed in my life until I tried them! Especially the "Desi Boy" slice and the "white truffle chicken cutlet" slice. I also have to mention their vodka slice with sesame crust Everything in this place is high quality, even their regular slices. Their sandwiches are pretty incredible too, and you can tell that the bread is fresh made in house-- you don't feel bloated or overly stuffed after eating them! The owner is super friendly and even gave us a couple extra slices to try to complete our "pie" when we had already ordered a small variety of slices. The staff are all very friendly and it feels very comfortable and less stuffy than some of the other pizzerias in the area. Happy to give this place my business. Give them a try, you will be back for more!

    Just had to come back for the Angry Nonna Sandwich again at Krave It after the Yelp Food Pickup…read moreExperience few days ago. Took the Q13 Bus (which was fast) like last time. Staff greeting and welcoming you with a warm smile when you walked in. Ordered at the counter, would take 10-15 min to make the sandwich. Ambiance wise = Love the hipster comic-styled wallpaper. Super genuine staff and great service as well. Can pay with cash or card, but there's a small service fee being charged for card. Besides getting the Angry Nonna Sandwich ($15.50), also ordered the regular fries that came with spicy mayo ($6.53) + a Krave It pineapple pop soda ($3.96) to wash everything down. Staff brought everything to the table even though it was only self serve. 1) Angry Nonna Sandwich: The mildly spicy sauce was delicious and savory. Chicken parm was seasoned well and not salty. Bread could've been a little more crunchy imo. Portion size was plentiful and definitely enough for a full meal. 2) Regular Hand Cut Fries: So many widely-cut fries and more fries than I'd imagined for a single order. Worth it! Size wise was like those halal rice platter in aluminum foil container. I got full midway but still finished the whole thing. Fries were definitely freshly prepared and made. Could've been just a little bit more crispier. Spicy mayo was the perfect sauce to dip the fries in. 3) Krave It Pineapple Soda: Refreshing to taste with the sandwich & fries. Don't need a bottle opener to pop off the sodas. Just need to twist it off yourself. Easily done! Their sodas are made of cane sugar. The fizziness felt good against the back of my throat. I plan to keep going back whenever I'm in the area by myself or with friends. Would recommend this spot to other Yelpers, family and friends. They're opened to late hours everyday. Lastly, don't forget to tip the hardworking staff working there!

I am very picky with coffee because I am a big coffee fanatic and always trying different coffee shops, but I absolutely fell in love here. The atmosphere is cozy, quiet, and has a beautiful antique style. It is a small space, but so cute and inviting. There is a few seats inside and some outdoor seating as well, which makes it really nice to enjoy your drink. The barista was so helpful and informative. Any questions I had, she answered, and it really added to the experience. I ordered the chestnut latte, an iced latte, and the purple yam cookie. Everything was absolutely delicious. The chestnut latte was amazing. I didn't even realize it wasn't coffee at first, but it was made with freshly ground chestnuts and it tasted warm, cozy, and Christmasy. The iced latte was perfect, smooth, and not bitter at all. My coffee tasted sweet and flavorful even before adding any sweetener. The purple yam cookie was also incredible. Everything is baked in-house, which I really appreciate because you can taste the quality. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, and I definitely feel like it is worth it. I cannot wait to go back and try the purple yam latte next. This is hands down one of the best coffee experiences I have ever had. I will definitely be coming here more often.
