We loved that on the door it says dine in customers have to be vaccinated. Nice to know we can go and not feel so weary in the future. But, back to the food and drinks! Everything was so so good! We got foe drinks, The Rosie, which was milk tea with rose syrup and the Ube Milk Tea with boba, cup size was perfect enough to fill us up and taste was not super sweet so just right enough to enjoy it. For sweets we got the Ube Tres Leche, Ube Crack Cheesecake, and the Ube Leche Flan Cupcake. We were so happy with how they tasted and the proportions of everything. This was my first time trying Ube products as well and I'm glad we chose this spot

So good. Sad that the Pasadena one closed

A couple female customers asked if I was in line, and I told them to go ahead and order since I was still deciding on what drink to get. Luckily, it only took 2-3 more minutes for me to decide on an Ube Monster Milkshake. U...
