Cute pearl tea house.

I have been to this place a few times in the last few years. What I always come back for is their pudding milk tea. Why? They actually make the pudding properly. Its soft and not overly sweet. Combined with the milk tea it adds just the perfect texture that you do not need to add any pearls to it.

This time around I noticed the mugs that the drink was served in was larger than before. Always a plus when you get more for what you pay for.

We ordered the spicy pork blood with pork intestines. The order comes with rice and 3 side dishes. The side dishes included a bunched baby bak choy, preserved vegetable with egg, and fried Tofu in tomato sauce. The egg and preserved vegetable stir fry was super salty. The other 2 sides were standard fair. The spicy pork blood pot was too salty, although that is pretty standard for taiwaneese fair. They did give a generous portion of pork blood but skimped on the pork intestines. Again the preserved vege simmering in the pot made it overly salty

What I like

• The pudding bubble tea is the best i've tasted.
• Comfortable setting.

What I didn't like

• Over seasoned and mediocre sides.

I would come here for the bubble tea, but if i' m looking for good quality taiwanese food in the same area, I would rather go to BBT cafe.

Swiss bakery

Swiss bakery on main and 2nd is a small bakery located in an industrial area. They offer lots ot baked goods that you don't see at other Valerie.

I tried the peach danish and chocolate croissant. I loved the fluffy and light texture of the croissant. It was much lighter than the ones at Cobbs bread.

The peach danish had a fluffy and crunchy outside with the peach and custard filling at the center. I loved that as a whole the pastry was light and not overly sweet, a perfect compliment to any beverage.

The bakery also has a large selection of cakes. They also offer sandwiches served on artisan bread. Unfortunately there was no soup available during the weekend. I will definitely come back to try some of the cakes.

What l liked:

• Lightly airy pastry
• Peach danish lightly sweetened
  

What I didn't like:

• Location was hidden
• Not a lot of seating room
