Not a lot of bakery items other than 3 types of cookies (green tea, red velvet and almomd) and maybe 2 types of bread on display. I was expecting more because of their name. More like 85c bakery and cafe that has a handful of bread and patries selection. I’ve tried their shrimp wonton bbq beef noodles ($13.50). It was okay. Nothing special about it. I got the Coffee Milk Tea with boba and it was okay too. 3 stars because my friend ordered Peach tea and she said it was too frangrant and there was no way she could drink it. She said it was like drinking perfume. Also, we waited more than 15 mins for our food and drinks to be ready when there is no one there. Overall, I can’t say i’ll be back. I don’t recommend this place.
If you like SUPER sweet drinks this is the shop for you. Their sugar level is double (or more ) than other boba shops . Owner is nice, no other issues
Love this place to study and for their boba and banh mi.
Nice and small cozy spot. Great pastries and tea.
Wonderful tea shoppe. I had a truly delightful flaky and warm pork floss bun to snack on with my mixed fruit tea, and the only sadness I had was that I only ordered the one bun. The tea was excellent.
Everything we tried was excellent. The unique coffees we had were awesome.From the Korean Garlic Cheese Bread to the Pork Sung Bread were so good.So much more for us to try on our next visit.
Love their drinks !! theyre very detailed and unique and can easily adapt/make changes for u if u need. i highly recommend the black sesame mactha puff! easy parking in the plaza and a few spaces to sit.
Parking was easy during the middle of the week. They do have a lot in the back. Not easiest to see from Garfield but we were blindly following the GPS so thankfully it was correct. Loved our experience there. Billie Eilish on the radio made E happy, and the drinks we ordered being customizable and reasonably priced a Big Win especially with the Wednesday special of buy 2 drinks and get a pastry free. We brought home a chocolate chip pastry for Grandpa so he wouldnt feel left out. Meanwhile E got their Smokey Tea with Tiramisu Foam, Boba and Almond Milk 25% and I got the Unsweetened Matcha Black Sesame with foam, Boba and Almond Milk which was 👌.
Super delicious flavors on everything! Banh mi is on point and they kick the flavors up a notch. Favorite drink here is The Sun. Tastes like a fruit cocktail tea. Yummeh!
Great milk coffee. Pastries are delicious!Service is always top notch.
Has WiFi and pretty quiet for studying! Very clean inside and cute aesthetics. My favorite drink is the Smokey matcha milk tea! Pastries were surprisingly really good too!
Delicious.Edit. I went back today and the customer service was amazing I ordered the chicken Bánh mì with the pork pate (which I recommend) and the cook came over to say hi because he remembered my order from two weeks ago! If you find yourself near here or are looking for a good Bánh mì go here!
LOVE THIER HOUSE MILK COFFE! CHICKEN, PORK FLOSS, MEATBALL PIE ARE VERY GOOD, AND FLAVORFUL. MILK COFFEE, TARO AND TIRAMISU BUNS ARE MUST TRY. SANDWICHES WITH VERY GOOD TEXTURE AND THE HOT SAUCE MAKE IT EVEN MORE ENJOYABLE
Delicious baked goods and drinks. Love this cafe 🙏
I love they have the best drinks and food the french fries are amazing the staff is very Friendly and helpful. Overall I love this place
This is a great place to get a milk tea. They have a good variety of drinks and the size is decent too!
The Black Coffee with Sea Salt Foam was a delicious surprise. You have to try it.
Love this place not only do they have great coffee but that extra espresso shot definitely will wake you up
No Chinese bakery there

2023-03-19 16:04:27Very clean and cute inside. I ordered the Oolong Milk Tea with Tiramisu Puff. Its super delicious and on the sweeter side.My father ordered a Smokey Coffee Milk Tea and was really surprised how good it was (hes more of a black 2 cream and 2 sugar).Recommend on visiting if you are passing through

2023-11-06 02:14:33Their sandwiches are amazing and taste really fresh- the bread especially. Their drinks are super tasty, but be warned that some have a ton of caffeine (not a bad thing imo). The shop is fairly cozy and perfect for studying or chatting with a friend. Ill be back for more asap!

2022-12-02 22:24:40Small, clean bakery & cafe.Assortment of snowcap breads, including chocolate, coffee, tiramisu, milk raisin. There were some Vietnamese pate chaud.The banh mi was okay: fluffy crispy bread, hot sauce, and meat.The drinks are the highlight for us! Not too sweet if you get 50% sweetness. Big plus for us is that they have a large cup size that barely fits in your cup holders! The teas tastes refreshing.Milk teas are creamy and fruit teas typically have some sort of real fruit in them as well!

2020-07-05 04:51:50Small mom n pop spot with a good variety of vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, pastries and drinks. First time here because of their July 4th specials on $1.99 banh mi, $0.99 croissants and $1.50 boba milk tea!!! The owner was very friendly and provided excellent service. The decor inside was very warm and homey with free wifi too. A definite must try if you are ever in the SGV, especially in the city of Monterey Park.

2022-10-27 17:06:55I was so happy when I came across this place while in the area, what a gem! I love that they open early and breads are super fresh and light with a subtle sweetness. I really enjoyed them. Service was great as well, they took the time out to explain to me what everything was and I really appreciated that.

2019-08-19 22:38:15I really enjoyed my milktea. Good balance of sweet and bitter tea flavor, which a lot of tea places lack. The parfait was really good too. Very milky and fruit filled and was more like a drink than something you eat with a spoon. Kind of hidden but worth a stop if youre nearby.

2021-03-27 05:25:20This is a convenient place for a quick sandwich or some pastry. I like their food and they are reasonably priced. Yu should have no trouble finding a parking space in the plaza or on the street.
