Portland’s Stellar Ube Treats and Desserts | Eater Portland

"The cross-cultural Jade District chain that sells horchata, bubble tea and curiosities like Flamin Hot Cheetos elotes also offers a “Camo Series” of milkshakes, named for the colorful striations that mimic camouflage. The ube milkshake is a white-and-violet hodgepodge that also includes Oreos in the mix. Zero Degrees is open for takeout and delivery."

I ordered two Ube Coffees from this place on Uber Eats and in these two bowls you can say the amount of ice that came from each drink. The first picture shows how much drink was left after the ice was removed. I am extremely disappointed and feel as if my money has been stolen for a $9 drink. Uber eats will not give me a refund because “item sizes are up to the discretion of resturaunt employees” but this is so ridiculous, I’m mad. :((( I would be willing to take down this review and forgive and forget if I could get two free drink vouchers or something, this is just so ridiculous.

My friends and I come here all the time. We’re always telling other people about it. in general, a favorite. highlights: the garlic noodles. the extensive bubble tea menu with options you can’t find anywhere else. the sauces. good music playlists. several claw machines with actually cool stuff in them lowlights: sometimes the wait is really long. is small, can get crowded. not the best bathroom- but at least it has one! the prices are kind of steep. the quality of the flavors and the cooking can vary- which happens everywhere; but I feel it sometimes happens TOO much here, which can especially suck when you’re paying a lot. I like that you guys added board games, but wish you had more and better options!

I recently stopped by 0 Degree and was genuinely impressed! While they offer a variety of Vietnamese dishes, what really stood out to me was their Thai tea—easily one of the best I’ve had. It was rich, perfectly sweet, and had just the right balance of creaminess and tea flavor. Super refreshing and full of flavor.

chicken was limp, greasy, and somehow both overcooked and bland. No crispiness, no seasoning — just sad, chewy pieces of meat. The fries were cold, soggy, and completely flavorless. Not even salt could save them. It was honestly kind of gross. I don’t expect fine dining from a boba shop, but for the prices they’re charging, this is unacceptable. It felt like they microwaved frozen food and called it a day. The only semi-redeemable part was the boba drink, but even that was just okay. The tea was overly sweet, and the tapioca pearls were a bit too soft — not the worst I’ve had, but definitely not great. Between the terrible food, mid-tier drinks, and slow, uninterested service, I won’t be coming back. There are way better boba spots nearby that actually care about quality.

Lucky enough to come in when the line is not busy. Usually, they are so busy with online orders that the dine-in orders have to wait for a little bit. I got a large order and a drink but it did not take much time. Overall the food is great, especially the barbecue popcorn chicken.

My husband ordered Garlic noodles & shaken Beef Crispy chicken wing combo. They are mostly good. But when I ate wings I saw the chicken’s hairs. I took those off. I hope they will chicken clean well before the cook next time. But Garlic noodles are good and yummy. May 27th 2023 Update: we went to Portland and ate inside restaurant. Fresh and delicious much better than Togo. So if you chanced to visit this place please eat inside restaurant. We ordered a lot and so many meals. Delicious and look so good.

This place has been taken over by a new owner 3 months ago and I have to say the food, service, drinks were delicious. My husband and I really enjoyed it. I would recommend it sincerely.

Some of the meals looked delicious on the photos but when I ordered one of the items they didn’t taste that great, same for the drinks, one of the workers that was taking my order she would mess it up and would get mad when I said it was the wrong order. The girl was little dark skin with glasses but couldn’t tell by the lighting, she was quiet so I didn’t hear what she was saying when my order was taken. A boy was making my drink very slow as I was observing them. When I got my drink and left the store the drink was sour tasting like it was expired. This was a while ago but when I came in again I encountered her again I spoke Louder and clearer for her to understand athen I reminded her of the last time I came here my experience wasn’t the best at all

The service was great! The Elotes was really good! I also got popcorn chicken, I wasn't too impressed with it. Maybe the oil they fry it in, I'm not sure but didn't taste well.

The food was just not goood. I got the garlic butter fries and popcorn nuggets and it all tasted sweet and not garlicky. It was kinda plain tasting. The buffalo sauce was oily and the mangonada taste like straight juice.

I stayed at an Airbnb down the road from this place for about three months and I frequented here pretty often for the watermelon slush. It's so good. It reminds me of the watermelon drinks I got back home in Hawaii. They use real watermelon, ice and some kind of sweetener. It's blended so well and is so fresh every time! My boyfriend gets either the mangonada or the spicy watermelon slush and he loves coming here as well. I've gotten their food items a few times and it's pretty legit. The popcorn chicken and fries box is really tasty and hits the spot. They also sell one that's made with hot cheetos which is interesting but I haven't tried it yet. There are a variety of other drinks as well but I always get the watermelon slush because it reminds me of home. Since moving from the Lents area I still come back here once in a while and it's worth the drive

Undescribably unashamedly dirty in plain view. Almost have to come and see for yourself. With all their staff, surely a manager could train, delegate, or pick up a towel themselves. Customer service was a messy match as the joint. Two bubble teas took 20 minutes. SMH Mango was citrusy but a tad too sweet. Similar to a 7Eleven slushie where you end up drinking all the juice and left with ice in the cup.

We waited 30 minutes for 2 milkshakes that we ordered at 2:57 pm, we watched 3 other groups that walked in and ordered after us be served until we were finally served our milkshakes at almost 3:30 and after all that time the drinks were horrible!

After coming here a couple times, I've figured out what I really like. I love their jasmine milk tea, it's extremely fragrant and possibly my favorite place to get jasmine tea. I like that this comes with non dairy creamer. The sea salt green tea is fragrant as well and very tasty. I did not expect to like it as much as I do, but it might be one of my all time favorites of theirs. Both the jasmine milk tea and sea salt green tea are perfect any time, and super refreshing. These are consistently great as well. I loved their Ube milkshake before the camo series, just plain blended Ube was so delicious. The brûlée stuff and Oreos are cool too, but it's too much for me. I should ask if I can just get the old ube milkshake next time. Service is decent. The drinks are made pretty quickly.

I used to love this place! Today will be my last time coming here! I order three things from Zero Degree. Popcorn chicken and two of their fries. There were people in front and behind me. I know they are short staffs. Which I understand! I asked the cashier how long and she said 20mins the wait. I ordered and I know it will be a long wait. I left the store to do some errands. Came back an hour later!!!! I asked if the food ready. All the people that order behind me had left! Who's know how long. the Casher look around and she said my food was not ready!!!!! Really? They weren't busy when I came back to pick up the food. Either they give my food away so someone else. Or just forgot about my order! I asked to get a refund back! I will never come back here. What is disappointing!!!

Placed an order for the mangonada on GrubHub and walked in to pick it up after a driver had come and picked up a delivery order before me, and the employee behind the counter told me that they had handed my order to the driver, telling me to chase the driver for it. By then, the driver had left and I contacted CS for GrubHub for a refund. The best part of this was customer support, who issued me a refund. First bad experience with the spot.

I came here to try a mangonado. That was ok. A little sweet, and the mango chunks weren't ripe. But the reason I'm writing a review is because it was FILTHY. I (politely) asked to see the manager. The young woman taking our order identified herself, and I asked how long ago the floors had been cleaned. She replied, "All I know is we're getting new floors soon." As if that excused the filthy floor.

I've been to this location so many times already, drinks are always made the way we had ordered them. Consistent quality and friendly staff even when it's busy. The line goes by pretty fast also. My favorite part about zero degrees is that you can get the split cup so you can try two flavors with one order.

I've have heard about this place for years in Portland. Decided it was finally time to make a visit here not looking at reviews or anything. I kind of wish I saw the reviews beforehand... There is a mandate to wear masks in Oregon. Many of the workers pull their masks down as they make the drinks. This was definitely a turn-off, made me not eat the drinks/food individuals who didn't wear a mask touched. The individuals who work in the kitchen who make the snacks don't wear masks which can be seen when they brought out the food. I understand that it gets hot when working and it is stressful during this time, but it really made me want to get a refund on what I ordered. I ordered the popcorn chicken and fries, but there was hair in it so I ended up not trying it... With regards to the drinks, overall they are average. There was one individual who made these drinks that wore a mask and took precautions so I was willing to try them. Camo Matcha: This tasted like ice mixed with some powder with no matcha flavor. Cookie Monster: This one tasted pretty good just like a milkshake, lots of Oreos in it. Strawberry Horchata: The strawberries were a nice addition, to the horchata. The horchata was okay with cinnamon taste, very sweet though. Strawberry Limeade: Great balance of strawberry and limeade, can't really mess this up. After this experience, I don't plan on visiting here again.

Came in for a quick afternoon treat afte a long morning! I've always thought that this place offers Taro drinks but that's not true. Instead they've an Ube Milkshake and when I was there they've offering a special Camo drink series where they add cheesey cream and oreos to the original milkshakes. I tried the Ube Camo and it's good! Refreshing and not overly sweet. The combination of cheese cream, oreos, and ube worked surprisingly well. The portion size here was also huge. I certainlyy indulged a bit too much with my milkshake.

It was great until it wasn't. I used to crave their mangonadas that I would almost come once or twice a week. Then, something changed.. either their mangoes weren't fresh or ripe as I liked it or their flavoring was off (sometimes not enough tajin). The atmosphere definitely isn't consistent. Sometimes there's straight EDM music blasting in the place or soft pop music playing, I guess it depends on the workers that day. I remember when this place was a little coffee shop you could come and study here. It's a different environment now that I wouldn't recommend doing that here. Most recently I came and ordered the lychee drink and ended up with about 70% flavored ice. Serving size was definitely big but yeah it was all ice. The parking lot for this place is a huge bumper car alley. Cars are in and out going the opposite direction and there are people walking everywhere. I've stopped going to this specific Zero Degrees but still enjoy mangonadas at other Zero Degrees in California. Thanks for supplying the mangonadas during my cravings but I don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

I wouldn't order from here unless you want soggy, cold, OPEN food. My mangonada has no tajin or chamoy (I asked for extra) and it was already melted. They put open lids on them for DELIVERY. My hot cheetos cheese fries were soggy, cold, had barely any sauce. My chicken was cold. No utensils at all. Was not delivery drivers fault, they were here within 10 minutes of leaving the restaurant. Any time I've got food at Zero Degrees it was HOT, so obviously my food has been sitting around forever.

Zero Degrees, you have let me down! Why, you ask? Placed my order for two drinks 1) Jasmine milk tea with boba 2) oolong milk tea with lychee at 12:38pm. However, I did not get my drinks until 12:57pm. It took 20 minutes to receive two PRE-MADE drinks. Seriously? I watched the girl behind the counter to literally take a peep at our order and a minute later, our drinks were ready. But the wait was way too long for me to come back again.

The drinks are great, but you guys need to change your rice. It is either uncooked or it must be a cheap brand. I'll be sticking to fries with my combos going forward. This is the 3rd time I ordered rice and it never changes!

Waited patiently and approached the counter when it was our turn, the guy working register took 2 phone calls and looked around between them but never made eye contact or acknowledged us in any way. Would've been fine if he'd said "sorry, I'll be right with you" or anything similar, but zero customer service whatsoever. Zero stars for Zero Degrees

Love this place since it's so unique with the option to choose 2 flavors in the same cup! Sometimes it's hard to decide on just one flavor so it's really convenient that you don't have too at this place. I personally loved the Pina Colada which took me back to my Hawaii vacay. It's blended to perfection and tastes amazing. Highly recommend! For the boba drinks we decided to go with the peach and mango fruit teas which are a bit stronger on the tea side but just as refreshing. They also got a ton of cool flavors like the Mangonada and a strawberry lychee drink . Definitely more of a dessert place so I recommend coming if you're in a sweet mode since it's really filling as well. Location is convenient by a bunch of restaurants in the area so cool place to check out. Weekends can be busy with a longer line just FYI. Plenty of parking in the parking lot right out front.

Friendly staff. Quick service even when it gets busy. Classic milk tea was ok. Too much ice and only one size option. Interior seating was recently renovated with plenty of seating. The front door was sticky and could use a repair.

Their service has really gone down hill with my last two visits. Previous to today's experience: I had ordered my usual, Sea Salt Green Tea but when I got home I realized it tasted like milk (over 50% of the drink was cream). After calling them, it took several minutes before they even offered a refund or to remake my drink the next time. Not to mention how they only give you a few ice cubes if you ask for less ice and give you a lot of ice when you don't say anything. It seems that they have a new sign (attached) to address these issues. Today's experience: Three instances within the 30 minutes really pushed me to write this review. The first, the cashier repeated what he thought was my order but got it wrong - I corrected him. From there, I tried twice to confirm that he got it correct but he didn't respond as his attention seemed to be elsewhere. I had to depend on his copy of the receipt to confirm, which shouldn't be my job. The second, the same cashier took my card and left it on the counter after he swiped it. Took him a minute or so before he realized that he didn't give it back - most likely still distracted. Normally this wouldn't be an issue but he did the same to my friend who had to grab his credit card himself! The third, I asked another team member if they had a wrapped straw, she simply said no. I didn't have a problem with this because some establishments do this but my friend ended up getting some at the other counter by the door. The fact that she ignored my question is what I am frustrated with. All of these experiences have left a sour taste, no pun intended but I really hope that these problems get addressed. Update: shortly after sending the review via Square, they sent me a coupon with a generic response saying that the problems will be issues - hopefully this will be true.

I love how spacious this location is and the layout is great. Great chill spot with friends to catch up and order dessert drinks! I tried the strawberry lychee slush with Boba! Definitely satisfied our cravings! Service was fast and the staff was friendly and joyful. May sound like a rave party at night :)

I stopped in here because I was actually across the street at My brothers crawfish when someone walked in with a mango nada from here! I looked online and saw they were pretty popular so came and have a try. The place was empty but they have nice tables and stools to hang out in I got the split cup with the strawberry horchata and strawberry lemonade. The horchata was delicious!! I was surprised as I am used to Hispanic horchata if that makes sense? Good flavor. The strawberry lemonade was deff lemonade not sweet. But very yummy! Service was very OK I mean they made my drinks? So that was good I guess.

Perfect cold drink for a very hot summer day. No dine in due to covid. Drinks were made pretty quick but the fries took a little longer. Friendly staff and establishment was clean. Lots of people coming in so its a pretty popular place.

Unorganized and unfriendly. We came in, excited to try their food entrees after a long day at work. No one rang up our order. And then they said food takes a long time which is fine so we left to shop around the plaza. We came back in 25 min to pick up and asked about our order. The employees were dodgy and looked confused but also didn't seem to care. They each walked away from us with no explanation. Another worker finally came up to us asking what was our order number and asked his colleagues about the food order. He told us the staff who range up the order didn't tell the kitchen that we ordered food and we were asked to wait while they started the order. No compensation or apology. Unfortunate that the shop is run by kids who don't know any better. Taking our business else where.

Summer is coming, and these drinks are my FAVORITE at Zero degree. You're never go wrong with lychee crush and Mangonada. If you're a fan of fruits like me, these are will be a best fit for you. Environmental friendly: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Food and drinks: 5/5

This location is following the recipes and making good products but the wait times are just excessive... Even when just ordering beverages. The Beaverton store can get busy but it's never been 20+ minutes wait post order for drinks. Edit: 40 minutes. Never again. How many folks pay and leave?!?

I wanted to like this place sooo bad but it was terrible. Staff had no knowledge of the menu. I asked if 2 different drinks contained milk and/or if they had milk alternatives and she didn't know. She suggested winter melon and boba. $7.75 for iced sugar water with old & yucky boba. It tasted nothing like winter melon.

ZERO DEGREES = ZERO TOPPINI'm so sad this place is so good. But I swear the people serving the food/drinks are pretty grouchy. My friends and I used to come here a lot but forgot why we stopped. Today I remembered why we have boycotted this place. I don't know what it is if I have a resting b*tch face or something but every time I go in, most female servers always give me attitude. All I'm trying to do is get some grub or a drink ): For example, if I order a Lychee Crush light ice they always put, and I mean ALWAYS, fill the cup with a lot of ice and zero to no toppings whether it's boba or jelly. I don't know man but it's always frustrating coming to this place if you're just going to get judged and dogged. My friends, family, and I would skip this place honestly. In conclusion avoid the High school attitude in this boba joint and Zero toppings. (:

Subpar and definitely a different experience than what I expected. Considering the area this location is in, there were a few homeless loitering within their business. Entrance smelled like beer which doesn't come off very inviting. Aesthetic was very appealing when they first opened, but I feel like it's kinda gone downhill since. Cups no longer had a Zero Degrees logo on them, and my drink was kinda average... tasted good, but didn't look appealing. Service was also subpar as well.. the girl checking me out continued to accidentally charge me for my drink although I had handed her a free drink coupon lol. I mentioned it to her and she gave me the drink for free. Traffic is probably slow because of the current weather here, but I feel like they should take that time to amp up the place at least

The pictures all look great.. and I will say that the food/drinks actually turn out like the pictures. I had the watermelon slush as my choice of beverage, and we also had the salt&pepper chicken popcorn (they were out of honey bbq) and the hot Cheetos chilotes. I really liked my drink, but the food was not that great. The chilotes was overwhelming and there were ROCK HARD pieces mixed in. I just visited my dentist a month ago, I don't want to have to go back for a chipped tooth. The popcorn chicken was okay, but it's just popcorn chicken. There's nothing "amazing" about it. The drinks I give a solid 4, but the food is a 3 or less. It was fun to try. I might stop in to get a drink, but I'll eat before I come here.

I was eating lunch nearby Zero Degrees and noticed a huge line coming from where Karma Cafe used to be. Never heard of Zero Degrees before but after waiting maybe 45 mins in line I finally got to the counter to order. The menu was a fusion between Asian bubble tea and Mexican flavors. Their signature drink seemed to be a Mangonada which is a Mexican fruit drink with mangos and chili powder. I looked ZD up on Yelp and noticed they had cool drinks with mango slices on top that were fanned out, but unfortunately this location would not be offering that decoration which kinda bummed me out. I ended up ordering a two chambered cup that offered two different drinks of my choice which I thought was a cool gimmick. In one chamber I got the strawberry horchata, and the other I got lychee crush. I pretty much stop looking elsewhere on the menu if lychee is an option anywhere I go. Service was a bit chaotic and slow, but that's to be expected given the line and it being their opening weekend. Staff were friendly otherwise. The drinks were ok to good, and I enjoyed them, but felt like it was quite a bit more expensive than most bubble tea shops in town to make me a regular customer. I'll be back, but it was only good enough to make me go back sporadically. The split drink was $5.75 and at that price I'd rather save a couple dollars and get coffee at Starbucks or Dutch Brothers or a bubble tea at Bambu.

This place is remarkably dirty. The customer service is terrible. Literally don't say anything to you. I want my money back even before I tried it! The smell of piss from the bathroom was strong!! There was one guy who was really nice enough to rush and make it but it literally took 25 minutes for one drink! Came back to say I got the drink its all ice barely blended. Terrible experience

I'm always iffy about boba shops that offer too much because that means they don't really specialize in anything... They offer coffee, tea, milk tea, small snacks such as chicken tenders, fries and popcorn chicken (which is normal), but also shrimp and elotes. Despite my initial thought, I gave Zero Degrees a try and oh boy, I do regret it.... It's located in a average sized, primarily Asian plaza with some parking. The store is located in the corner, which made it easy to find. On a Sunday afternoon, it was decently packed with a line, but it wasn't too bad. It was my first time here, and it was quite memorable in all the wrong ways... I saw the Tiger Sugar Milk drink, and it caught my eye. It was the most expensive boba drink on the menu for $5.25; but I still wanted to try it, despite the absurd price. Now, that got me thinking, if their Tiger Sugar Milk is their version/label of a Tiger Milk Tea (which I believe is Thai tea + Black milk tea). So wanting clarification, I asked the nice, kind cashier in hopes I'd find my answer. I directly asked if a Tiger milk tea is the same as their Tiger Sugar Milk. She simply mumbled, so I asked again. Then she mumbled a little louder, so I can barely hear her say I don't know. I followed asking if she knew what a Tiger milk tea was, and she said no, which was understandable because it's not on their menu. Still being optimistic despite her mumbling, I just asked what's in a Tiger Sugar Milk (the drink on their menu), and she still said I don't know. I asked if she can at least describe it. I gave her the benefit of the doubt because maybe if she's just a cashier, she doesn't rotate positions and make the actual drinks... Now, here comes the tipping point. After asking her to describe the Tiger Sugar Milk drink to me, she exclaimed "You know, I don't have time for this." She rolled her eyes and looked the other way and I replied, really??? My cousins I was with had to take over for that moment. Any ways, I just decided to order an Oolong milk tea after all that. My two drinks (my drink + cousin's) took a while to come out. I drank my Oolong and thought it was really caffeinated, but I din't think much about it. I thought I was overthinking things esp after that ordering experience. But with every sip, my mouth was really sticky... I needed water every time to wash the cream down... Also, my cousins tasted my drink and said it was coffee (that the cashier probably spat in haha). And coincidentally, as I was having verbal doubts about my drink, they turned up the music to the point that it was difficult hearing others. I honestly really don't like this place and the young, light skinned, tall, long brown hair cashier. Worst drink/experience. I'm normally positive with reviews, but wow. This place is a hard no.

Happened upon this place this weekend because I noticed the line coming out of the door. Very cute place! One of many things I like about this place is that if you can't decide which refreshing beverage to pick, you can get a split cup! The other reason I like this place is that it has a fun combo of Mexican and Asian tea/drink flavors (think horchata and matcha) I had the cucumber lime and strawberry bliss split cup. The cucumber lime was the perfect combination of cool, refreshing, with a little herby tartness. The strawberry bliss-peachy and very strawberry and sweet. I managed to use both straws and sip both of them at the same time (this is how I roll ) and lemme tell you...it was the taste of a sweet summer...yumminess in a cup.. Will be a regular stop when I am in Portland again..

If it pains you to wait in line for boba, then I recommend going to the one located in Beaverton. Either I was extremely fortunate but the line there is nonexistent. Drink wise, the flavors here are not your typical "Asian" drink. I would say it's Asian-Mexican fusion? Their mangonada is unique with spicy/sour powder blended in, enhancing the flavors of mango. Plus, you get the split cup option allowing you to try the various horchata drinks they offer. This is the place you should go to if you would like to try something differ than your typical milk tea...and even if their drinks want to make your palate cry, they do make pretty Instagram pictures
