It's my first time here, and walking in, it felt a little bit fancier than an 85* or Paris Baguette. I had visited shortly after they opened for the day, and a few employees were placing fresh pastries in mini bags to be displayed for people to grab an go.
They seemed to have a signature item called a Bolo. I had asked one of the girls there is this like the pineapple bun that most places have? She didn't know. I asked about the BBQ bolo, and all she could tell me was that it had the red wet meat in it. It's not the best explanation, but I just kept working my way around. Once, I was at the register to pay. I asked the lady about the Boli bun again, and she was like, there's no pineapple in it. I had to educate her and tell her they call it a pineapple bun because the outside texture was like a pineapple.
There was one other lady who worked there that stepped in and answered my questions about the drinks. She was super knowledgeable and helpful.
Items I purchased:
1. Iced mango matcha - This was a delicious drink. I'm happy I had picked this instead of a Vietnamese coffee. The matcha was fluffy and thick like a milkshake with the mango it was perfection.
2. Chocolate concha - I love the chocolate pieces on the outside and the surprise hazelnut on the inside. This was easily one of my favorites.
3. Bolo bun - Basically a pineapple bun.
4. Taro mochi - Nice and fluffy. I kind of wished it had a little more taro in it.
5. Strawberry and matcha white chocolate donut - Very tasty and chewy. I liked that it didn't have a greasy feel to it.
6. Strawberry cloud donut - This was a delicious surprise. Nice and fluffy. Strawberry filling wasn't overly sweet.
7. Almond cookies - Crispy and flavorful
8. Peanut brittle candy - My family enjoyed this. Crunchy and not overly sweet.
Overall, everything I tried was amazing. I can't wait to come back and try the Japanese bagels.
My only recommendation is to educate employees a little more on the items being sold. It's unappealing when employees don't know the items or let alone tried it.
