my favorite local spot, it's always fast, well priced, and very homey. the vibes are great, on the weekends there's a lot of people gathered here and it's clearly its own little community that happens to serve tasty food! the fruit shaved ice, as pictured, was massive, enough for 2 (this was a small!). their boba drinks are also great, they have some fun flavors.

This is a great place for chillax and study. A lot of tables have laptop on and they were really here to study. They have free wifi and all the snacks like instant ramen, ice shaved, boba. The vibe was very nice and chill. The server was very friendly. I’d say food and snacks was pretty much you could find elsewhere but they’re like local starbucks in terms of service.

I love the shaved ice with ice cream and mixed fruit. It is not shown on the menu inside but is on the menu at the door. I can’t find anything quite as good at any other boba / dessert type places in the area.

My first time visiting here was last week, on a Friday. It was pretty empty on the first visit, so there was no issue with ordering. Ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea with Rainbow Jelly and 2 Misugaru. Boba was good. Came here again, and the place was much busier than last time. The Jasmine Milk Tea tasted a bit different this time, but it's probably because I asked them if they could add a bit of strawberry--at least the Misugaru still tastes great. Not bad! Would love to come by again whenever I'm in the area.
