It’s the only cute sit-down spot in China town. Tons of Good seats. The milk tea isn’t sweetened but in a good way. They have WiFi and places to charge your phone or laptop. Four employees working at 3:30 on the weekend. People were in and out really fast.
Very cutesy inside. They had one person at the front (seems common at boba places). I got a coconut smoothie. And a brown sugar latte boba with nondairy milk. I think it was almond (I said almond or oat whatever they have). After they did tell me they are out of coconut but they can make an avocado smoothie that tastes like vanilla and everyone should try it. So I decided for that one. It was really creamy and really nice. Good choice. I didn’t end up drinking my foam from my latte though I just took it out. Because I want sure if it was also made with almond milk like my drink or if it had dairy. But I am not sure if I was clear on no dairy in my drink. So I just took it out. But I haven’t seen much espresso latte bobas. This was really good.
Thai frappe and mango green tea were good. Lychee green tea was bitter. Mango chunks were a bit green and too big to get through straw. Good amount of poppies. But $24 for 3 drinks was a bit pricy.
I visited this cafe every day on my 5 day trip to Boston. The staff are wonderful. Dom is an absolute legend and made me feel like a regular. I'll miss our morning chats. The crene brûlée Vietnamese coffee is amazing!!!! 10/10 ☺️
I really enjoyed the Hong Kong milk tea and Vietnamese hot coffee here, both of which come with a little Biscoff cookie - what a perfect touch. I also especially love the atmosphere. The decor is so cozy, making it such a comfortable place …
