    So good! We used an order screen and got our drinks quickly. The Bubble Milk Green Tea +Wild Rice and the Mango Pomelo Sago Cup were both super delicious and not too sweet! The worker who made our drinks was also very nice:) I will definitely stop by again.

    Ordered through DoorDash and everything was packaged nicely. The K1.Strawberry Ice Cream Cake 草莓冰淇淋蛋糕 was the perfect treat! Strawberry ice cream layered with sponge cake. I didn't expect actual wild rice in the bottom of the H2.Wild Rice Milk 血糯米鲜奶 yet I enjoyed it.

    Been here twice and would return! When kids aren't running through, it's a great place to chat with friends or study. The service is quick and sweet. The desserts are kind of hit or miss for me and definitely the kind to share or save half for later. I remembered the herbal jelly dessert being a lot better, but I think I was biased by something similar in Kantaro the Sweet Tooth Salary Man. It was decent, but I wished I had not gotten it for just myself (my fault tho.) Just very rich and shareable. The ice cream cakes I tried were tasty but surprisingly dry, as the ice cream was not mixed into the cake part at all, but both had assumedly been sitting in a freezer losing moisture. I brought home a basque cheesecake for the wife and he liked it! I tried the leftovers the next day and they were yummy! Nice firm-soft texture and not too sweet, not sour like lost cheesecakes I've had. The teas are wayyyy too sweet to me.

    I've stopped by a handful of times whenever I'm craving Hong Kong desserts. This place is the only one that I know of that sells desserts like this in the Columbus area. I've grown up eating egg tarts all my life (Hong Kong, Macau, San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto) and this place has surprisingly one of the best. You can never go wrong with any of the mango desserts. The matcha roll was good and they top it with matcha powder which is a little bitter, but worked well with the cake as a whole. Their black sesame bowl lacked sugar for my liking, but the sugar level in everything else was good, even when we got the reduced sugar milk tea. Their matcha ice cream cake had poor texture. The ice cream tasted freezer burnt/"dry"?. Sort of tasted like ice and very little matcha flavor. There was yellow cake and red beans between the layer of ice cream. Their desserts are pretty filling, so l typically come here for a meal, and not after eating out. I also joined their membership program. They charge $100, and it's like a gift card, but you get 10% off your purchase on everything purchased on your membership card. And you can refill it in $50 or $100 increments. I'd you lose your card, they can look you up with your ID, but they will charge you a $3 replacement card fee. Also, bring cash to tip, they don't have an option to tip via CC or the membership card. Like a lot of restaurants, they're short staffed, where there was only one or two workers there, so it takes a little bit to get your food if there are other customers there.

    Fresh egg waffles??? In Columbus? Sign me up. Over super cute Asian dessert place that has the usual evaporated/condensed milk yums and most importantly, fresh egg waffles with ice cream. I've been stalking down their mango pamelo sago dessert for literally months but they've never had the mangos in season to make it, so fingers crossed for the summer... Otherwise, cute place to hang and get some sweet treats. Beware they do close pretty early for a dessert place so come by early!

    This is a really cute spot in a very nondescript strip mall. Most of the menu seems to be drinks, including some excellent looking milk tea, but I really wanted to try this bubble waffle phenomenon that I keep seeing around. The waffle was really good and not too sweet, and complemented the ice cream and whipped cream really well. I'm not entirely sure if they're open for seating, but it's a cozy spot that would be fun for meeting some friends.

    Order delivery from this place on uber eats. Packaging was done well. The bobas were balnd and boring they weren't sweet enough. The crepe cake wasn't as good as i expected. The pricing was high as well.

    The atmosphere is super chill and laid back. It's a great place to meet with friends or work. When you walk in, they are a couple of kiosks to place your order. My family and I ordered different drinks and desserts. I ordered the peach long tea and a bubble waffle with Oreo ice cream. The food came out in time and we didn't have to wait long at all.

    Matcha cheese green tea
    Zheng Hong T.

    I am in love with their matcha cheese Green tea! For people who don't know Boba, Boba is not just drinks with pearls in them. They have gradually evolved to having layers (like shrek) and a milk cap with frothy goodness is one of my favorite ways to sip on them! Wali's cheesy milk cap is the best I've had, with the slight salty cheesiness really shining through! Plus, their tea has never been dilute in the many times I've been there. Something I find distinctive about Wali is how caring their people are. They would 100% give you recommendations on the best way to make your tea like how they'll recommend that you opt for less ice if you are not consuming it immediately to avoid diluting it. Something that I'll improve on though is their caps. They have recently switched their milk caps to standard seals instead of a lid attachment which makes it harder to sip and churn the milky, cheesy goodness and the refreshing tea in your mouth for optimal enjoyment!

    Herbal Jelly & Taro

    I'm so glad this place exists. I can't get this type of dessert anywhere in Ohio, but here it is in Columbus. Too bad I live in Cincinnati. Great quality, great service, I order from them every time I'm in town and they've always gotten my order exactly right (i usually order thru doordash). I've seriously been learning to recreate it at home but it is labor intensive when you're making alone for just one because your fiancee isn't a fan of squishy textures... hah. They are my favorite indulgence when I'm in town. 6/5 stars!

    Cocoa "towel roll" - absolutely delicious!
    Cory C.

    We came here after dinner and got the cocoa "towel roll". I must say, it took quite a while for it to come out (I thought they were just going to pull it out of the refrigerated display case, but apparently they made us a fresh one). The towel roll is a giant crepe rolled up with whipped cream inside, and it is absolutely delicious. The whipped cream was infused with cocoa and wasn't too sweet. The roll was dusted with a generous amount of cocoa powder on the outside. It was definitely worth the wait! It looks like there are a lot of other delicious desserts worth trying here. Unfortunately, we came pretty late in the evening and many of the items were sold out by then. I want to mention that I wanted to order the mango pomelo sago with ice cream, but they said they couldn't serve it because the mangos they had that day weren't sweet. I really liked that because 1) it shows that they use fresh fruit and 2) it shows they are honest and didn't want to serve us something that wouldn't taste good. I highly recommend this place if you want incredible Chinese desserts!

    Another bubble tea / fruit tea place in Columbus! They also offer a variety of desserts. Pink Snow Cheese: Blend fresh strawberry + green tea + ice, topped with a layer of cheese milk cover. I wish I did 50% sugar, since I got 25%, and it was not sweet at all. Signature Fruit Tea: I suggest to just do 25% sugar level since a mix of fresh fruit already has a decent amount of sweetness. Egg Waffle in Cocoa Flavor: it was fresh and warm. I wish it was a little more crispy on the outside. I can't wait to go back to try some other treats!

    Good dessert place! Didn't eat there but the waitress told me all the tips on how to keep the ice cream cakes cold and the best way to eat them. May spend some time sitting there some day. Saw they have a lot of board games.

    Be advised that as of summer 2021, they no longer do ice cream rolls. Disappointing for the kids. Also, $5+ for a bubble tea is a bit steep.

The nice lady behind the counter referred to the small pitas as "diamond" shaped, which makes sense. There is little in this world better than fresh pita bread straight out of the oven, and it's still phenomenal. I got some labna to spread on it. I prefer Ziyad brand. And this time I noticed they have fresh, housemade baba ghanouj and fresh, housemade tabouli in the counter case. Both were incredible. They also had housemaid halva - it was OMG good.... The baker mentioned they do kebabs. Next time... soon... soon... For most of my friends on Yelp this would be an "out of your comfort zone" stop. Not because of the location on Bethel Road.

Yes, they do have pints of standard flavors lining the frozen aisles but their stores couldn't be more different than the impression one might get about grocery store ice creams. Their shops have different hours based on their location. This one in Dublin, thankfully, was open till midnight during the weekends. The place was buzzing and happening at 11pm that Saturday night with at least 10+ customers ahead of us upon arrival. You have a choice of bowls, cones, butter waffle cones, or butter waffle bowls to house your delightful desserts, the latter two being house-made and delicious! I opted for the "standard", a serving of two "half scoops" (that, for most people outside of the US, translates to a standard scoop each) of the "brown butter with almond brittle" and the "goat cheese with red cherries". They were both absolutely fantastic! Da bomb, as some might scream. The crunchiness of the brittles as well as that of the waffle bowl rendered an already amazing dessert even better and elevated it.
