| - Came back to try a couple drinks. Not the teas, but just something "refreshing" sans the caffeine. My 3 year old daughter picked the Green Apple drink w/ rainbow jelly and honey boba. I ordered the Lychee Rose drink with rainbow jelly for myself.
As I drove away, I took a sip of my drink. Tasted like a mixed drink at a bar sans alcohol. Pretty much carbonated water, flavored with Lychee and (rose?) syrup. I was just thrown off because I wasn't expecting this drink to be this simple (for $6).
My daughter asked for her drink, so my mom helped her take a sip in the car. Because my mom said she made a face, my mom suggested I tried it before letting her at the whole cup. I took a sip, and ohhhh myyy goooodness! It tasted like a strong, concentrated, artificial green apple flavoring, spritey, super duper sweeeeet, midori Apple-ish sans alcohol-ey flavor. A person could acquire diabetes with this one cup!
We were already driving down Rainbow toward Blue Diamond when I realized I pretty much wasted $12+ because these drinks were inedible. I would have gone back, but I had to pick up my other kids from school. Instead, I called them to let them know how I felt about the drink. I am giving them the two stars because she was apologetic and offered to remake it for us. However, since we live a little far, I wasn't going to drive back for the SAME drinks.
I love the art on the wall of this place. It is very chic. I haven't tried their food, but unfortunately, I don't think I'll have the courage to ever come back here again. Not even the Taiyaki can bring me back.
