    They forgot to add durian in my Che thai :( I guess it was the way the tickets were placed

    This convenience store has basically anything you could want to snack on. There are sections for pre-packaged Vietnamese snacks, but also pre-cut fruit and the accompanying chili salt. In the back, you can order bubble tea with just about any topping you can think of. There were a few people working just on the teas, so they moved fast. My highlight, though, was the corn milk, which is exactly what it sounds like. While it's pretty decadent (it contains heavy cream), the corn flavor is strong and it's not terribly sweet. What helps is using it as an addition to a coffee or matcha, or just watering it down with some ice.

    You go for the fun! Just do it. Kids will love all the cute fun shape and options for jelly/panna cotta toppings. The tea bases are really sweet and you can't adjust the sweetness as it's pre made but overall, fun spot. It's inside of this Vietnamese convenient store with easy parking

    So I see mixed reviews here for this Unu Cafe. I haven't tried anything else here other than the che Thai dessert. I have had it at many other dessert places in the area and I vote this to be the best! After getting the avocado coconut pudding dessert next door, per my sister's suggestion, we walked over here to get other types of dessert. What she was looking for was discontinued, according to the person that served us. So we went with the Thai dessert with extra durian and that was amazing! They did such a good job with that dessert and was generous with all the jello and fruit inside the cup. The dessert is $7 (twice as much as another popular dessert place that is about a block away, but the portion here is twice as big). And for $1 extra, you'll get one scoop of durian (my favorite!). One issue though, the lid was super tough to open. I couldn't open it and had to take a knife to cut across the top! Got to find out next time I'm there what's the trick to get it to open. :) Now I understand why this place is always crowded. A must return, for sure, since I eat a lot of these desserts and love flavored tea.

    Persimmon matcha

    Nicely decorated store packed with Vietnamese snacks, fruit, yogurt, and drinks. Unique drink toppings and drinks for decent pricing. Have been a customer for a few years and would recommend their yogurt drinks, like the strawberry yogurt drink. Nice yogurt flavor with fresh strawberries and popping boba. Went for their matcha tote promotion. The persimmon matcha had good persimmon and good matcha. But i would not personally drink them together. Persimmon was in big chunks and hard to drink with the matcha.

    i haven't tried their snacks yet but their drinks are delicious!! they keep coming out with new unique drinks that hit every time!!! the service are incredible! the baristas let you try samples and they always have recommendations based on what you like too. It's a very casual settings, no dine-in, only takeout but highly recommend!

    Tropical Tea

    Unu Cafe is my absolute favorite and my go to spot on a hot, sunny day! Their drinks are consistently crisp, refreshing, and bright in flavor. I'd recommend the Tropical Tea, which is my favorite ^_^. The base is a Jasmine tea blend with strawberry, lychee, and guava! Then it's topped with fresh cut sweet mango, dragon fruit, lychee, strawberry, and mangosteen. It's so yummy I order it every single time. Aside from their cooling iced drinks, they sell lots of fresh fruits and have a very large assortment of Vietnamese savory snacks, sweets, and more! They're also famous for their wide selection of cute, fun jellies that you can add into any of their milk teas. When I went yesterday the gentleman working was so very kind and had a big welcoming smile on his face! It was another great experience, like always.

    Layers cake with molds

    Bought two layers desert cakes $8 each, Both cakes taken out from their cooler one is very delicious, The other has molds on it, we live too far away to return it for $8 refund, bummer, ;(

    A Vietnamese snack shop that now serves drinks in a terrible parking lot. No seating indoor nor outdoor so it's exclusively a to-go shop. While the line was long on a Sunday afternoon, the staff worked quickly. The mini coolers only allowed milk teas, no substitutions and 6 jellies. Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea: a little too sweet but a decent tea flavor. Not really osmanthus but at least it was authentic tea. Jelly: lots of cute designs but the flavors were not very strong. Mostly everything tasted like coconut, pandan, or regular sugar jello. The banana jello and cheese jello did taste accurate though. Quinn's Bakery in Garden Grove makes tastier jellies and is a similar concept with indoor seating. Overall, if you enjoy Vietnamese snacks or prepared fruit, it's a convenient location but very crowded.

    SERVICE & AMBIANCE: A hole in the wall spot that is pretty tight but serves delicious drinks and desserts. When you walk in the right side of the cafe is a little market where you can buy snacks and desserts. The line was long but the service was quick and sweet. The cashier was so bright and cheerful to every customer. FOOD ^.^: You must try the milk tea boba with various toppings. Don't be scared to try all the different jellies they are all so good in the milk tea. Their fruit panna cotta was so delicious as well.

    My bucket with milk tea. We then choose to put what toppings we want to put in on our own time.
    Sandy J.

    What a fun experience! While having some of the staple Vietnamese snacks and regular boba type drinks, I went to check out their build a bucket. Here's how it goes: 1. Pick a bucket (I picked a mini cooler looking bucket) 2. Pick your drink (I picked milk tea) 3. For about $16, you get the bucket, drink and pick 8 toppings (like boba, jelly and they have some really special jellos that sometimes count as 2 toppings) Drink and eat! Service was great! It's a small shop in a pretty hustling shopping center. The reason for the 4 stars was Inreally wanted to experience eating/dunking there, but they didn't have seats and the buckets come with the drink in them, but the toppings on a separate container (which I did like), and swished around. We got milk tea all over ourselves a bit. It was fine, but I hope they can expand one day and have seats for people to sit and enjoy! All in all a fun experience, milk tea was good and so were the toppings. We will be back and we loved our buckets!

    The prices are reasonable, and the tea tastes just right. The fruit tea is fresh, and there are plenty of topping options. It's a Vietnamese-owned tea shop that has really made a name for itself in this area. I like their Dalat jasmine milk tea and Mangosteen Passionfruit tea.

    UNU Cafe is such a fun milk tea spot. I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea came in a cute ice cooler , and it was very flavorful , fragrant, and not overly sweet. I love the mini ice cooler, so cute.

    Is the jelly's agar agar, or actual gelatin?

    all panna cottas are made from gelatin, the other toppings are made from agar agar.

Parking, however, due to the other popular neighboring restaurants can pose a challenge. There was a line forming, but it goes by quickly and the drinks seem prebatched to save time.

All are excellent choices and the sweetness level is a good ratio for me. I kept my matcha at a regular sweetness and it was perfect. Any less, the bitter taste may be too strong for me, so I enjoyed it. The service was fast, and the matcha was definitely up to my standard.

However, I am assuming that the name was just replaced with their brown sugar boba creme brulee milk which I did try before but it was more watered down than I remember. This time I came to get original purple rice yogurt and the new blueberry yogurt mochi milk. The original purple rice yogurt was really good! It has purple rice in it and tea jelly. If you like texture and chewing on something while drinking on a sweet and tart drink, then I would definitely recommend this! As for the blueberry yogurt mochi milk. It was good, but basically just tasted like yoplait blueberry yogurt. There wasn't anything that stood out about this drink. Because it had the name mochi in it, I assumed that there would be more mochi in the drink, but instead it was mostly just blueberry yogurt smoothie. In addition, for the purple rice yogurt, in the description, it mentioned smoothie, but in the blueberry yogurt drink, it did not have any mention of smoothie so I assumed it was just blueberry milk with mochi. However, it is in fact a smoothie. Lastly, I wish they had an option for 70% sugar as opposed to just 100% 50% 25% and 0% sugar level.
