Crepes
"Fantastic crepes! Great price too. The tea is always delicious and a huge variety for both tea and crepes. Food and tea comes out pretty fast too. Just make sure to watch out when eating the crepe. It's fairly hot even 20 minutes after you start eating it."
Bubble Tea (general)
"I love going here and getting my bubble tea and boba milk tea drinks from here only! The best boba shop in Carbondale! I fell in love with their green tea boba and their strawberry boba tea."
Iced Thai Tea with Fruit Jelly
"Delicious food and teas here! My go to favorite is the iced Thai tea with fruit jelly. Service can be slightly slow since there has only ever been one worker whenever I’ve been and it can be busy at times."
