The person at the counter was very helpful and friendly. The service was good. We ordered a Uji Matcha Tea Latte with soy milk and Matcha flavored tapioca, as well as a Yakult-Lemonade. The matcha tea was made 25% sweet and only 75% ice, and it was amazing. The matcha flavor came through perfectly and the sweetness level was just right. The Matcha flavored tapioca was decent but we preferred a deeper taste. The Lemonade was out of this world, a perfect summer drink. It was flavored with 10% sugar and included mango flavored tapioca. The sweetness of the Lemonade was perfect and the mango tapioca paired well with it. Two slices of lime were also included, though we thought lemon slices would have been more appropriate. Regardless, we will definitely be returning for more.

Not only was this drink visually appealing with its layered presentation, but it was also very tasty. I also tried their mango smoothie with cheese crema, which was incredibly refreshing. It had been a while since I had a mango smoothie, so this one really hit the spot. For more photos, check out my Instagram page @kellychows!

I sampled their lychee smoothie with cheese crema and found that even with regular sugar, the sweetness was nicely subtle. The drink was also beautifully layered, making it quite a sight to behold.

Their Mr. Sun green tea is a very special drink mixed in with 0% Henneken. I also love their Red Sun special which is always a weekday special for only 4.99. The owner is super friendly and the tea is always fresh! Follow me for morefood adventures on Instagram at @maggielicious.to

Considering there are several other bubble tea places throughout the mall that offer dairy-free options, there is no reason for me to continue going to this restaurant.
