“ Was craving bingsu, and this hidden gem conveniently located opposite the station didn't disappoint! You can taste the premium ingredients with a rich, creamy, soft shaved ice, that's perfectly sweet. The matcha is also high quality and super flavourful. The value and portion size is amazing for the price! And the cosy little interior makes the wait well worth it. Definitely be back to try the rest of the flavours ”

“ Such a hidden gem for taro lover in the bubble tea store. Taro made in house and taste so good. The match taro milk tea is really good. Not too sweet and had strong matcha flavour with many taro paste and mini taro balls. Very nice in taste and texture. Will come back on weekends to try other dessert. This store had limited table seats. Staff is very nice. The whole store is very local Vietnamese flavors. They also have native Vietnamese milk option to bubble tea too. Very interesting. Very convenient with public transport. It is just next to train station and tram stop. Parking also available nearby ”

“ Love this place! Multiple times come here for their bubble tea. The service is just as good as the drinks! I was served by Mei (don’t know how to spell it) and she was honestly so nice. Even though they close at 8:30 PM, I showed up at 9:05 while she was cleaning, and she still took the time to make my order. Super friendly and hardworking—I really appreciate that kind of service. Definitely coming back! ”

“ My husband and I visited this café today during afternoon and were truly impressed by the lovely service we received from the girl who served us. She was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. We took quite a bit of time deciding on our drinks, but she was so polite and never made us feel rushed. Instead, she helped us choose with a warm smile and genuine care. She was also suggesting us, giving many options. I wish I knew her name she truly made our visit special. It was clear she had been working hard all day, yet her attitude remained so positive and kind. Great service like this is rare and deserves to be recognised. Thank you for such a lovely experience ”
