Got the iced coffee with tapioca flavored 'medium sweet' but it was still a bit too sweet for my taste. Amy was nice enough to have me drink up and added more milk without any extra charge! She was so nice about it! When asked about sweetness level, I would recommend picking 'low sweet'. Will visit again to try other flavors :)

The boss is so so nice. She offered a sample size cup for me to try and I can always adjust the sweet level and milk amount. The typical milk tea has great Taste

I love this place. It's so chic and cool. I do recommend you to try Nom Yen, an ideal drink for a break. The Thai Churros with pandan custard is also yummy. This place make me feel like when I was in Thailand.

The owner is very nice. Using the original thai tea from Thailand makes the drink taste perfect. Can try first and adjust your sugar level. Recommended!

Random encounter while visiting the Old city, and I liked it! The bubble tea was very tasty, you can adjust the sugar levels according to your preferences (mine was very little). I've also tried vanilla puff cakes while I was waiting for tea to be made, and I enjoyed them!

Retro thai traditional drinks/ modern bubble tea trend with dessert cafe has many gimmicks like lucky draw every 20chf spent. Lunch box options for microwave are available too. Owner is very friendly and great service. The decorations will bring you back to thailand in the 80's. Worth a try, esp. the dessert buffet on Saturday for a chance to get to know many desserts at once.

A cozy cafe with very friendly owner. I liked original thai tea but tapioca pearls could be improved- it needs to be more chewy. We also tried thai churros and we felt that it is bit expensive for what it is. However, I would like to visit next time and try other dessert!
