“I got the Mango Green Tea with the "mango pearls". The tea was good, I could taste both the mango and green tea, and it wasn't too sweet. However, I thought mango pearls meant mango popping boba. The pearls in the drink were essentially just mango jellies. This is confusing because there's also jellies on the menu (coconut jelly, etc) , so I think this should be clarified on the menu somehow.Overall the tea was good and the it came out quickly.“
“I love Cha Time! All of the drinks I've had have been delicious, and the buns are so so good, highly recommend the pork bun and the dessert buns! Love the chocolate hazelnut milk tea and the wintermelon tea, honestly they're all so yummy. Every time I've been the experience has been amazing!“
“I’m so glad there is an AMAZING bingsoo place in the city. The owners are so nice and sweet. Perfectly sized bingsoo with milky shaved ice and toppings (the ice is made out of oat milk so it’s extra creamy). We also got a sweet red bean bunggeopang/taiyaki and that tasted great! Definitely will come back for a “
“From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the delightful aroma of freshly baked pastries and the warm hospitality of the staff. The variety of teas they offer is impressive, catering to every palate imaginable. Whether you're a fan of traditional black teas or adventurous enough to try their unique blends, there's something for everyone. (Mango dragon fruit tea is my favorite) And the pastries? They're simply divine! Each one is lovingly crafted with attention to detail, resulting in treats that are not only visually stunning but also incredibly delicious. The cozy atmosphere of the shop makes it the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon tea with friends or a solo indulgence session. Every visit to Sugar Plum Tea and Pastry Shop is a delightful experience, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a taste of sweetness in Eliot City!“

“Went to Kokee for the first time because of Major Def's fundraiser. The workers were so nice and patient even though I didn't know what to order. Ended up getting the Brown Sugar Dalgonatte and it was so tasty, will be going back again!“
“Super cute cafe! Staff was very friendly they got busy quickly! I got the Awesowm Trio (Che 3 Mau) which is a traditional Vietnamese dessert. My mom makes this a lot and this definitely stands up to par. It was good. I got the passion fruit tea. The tea wasn't too bad definitely flavorful. I would recommend doing half sweet!“
“Staff is super sweet, the passion fruit green tea is delicious! Their milk teas are also great to try! Also if you get to nervous to order to the cashier they have 2 kiosks inside where you can play around with what you'd like in your drink.“
“They have the best chicken sandwiches I've ever tasted. Can you please add Original Chicken Butt sandwich on Grubhub or Ubereats? You only have mild, spicy, and extra spicy options, and the "mild" is way too spicy for me. Thank you.Update on 3/7/24 - Thank you for adding the "original" option on Ubereats! I was able to order and have a delicious meal today!! ? I'll be ordering much more often now. Thank you!!“
“I've been a fan of bubble tea for a long time and am excited to see more shops popping up everywhere. Tried Kokee this week while my boyfriend and I were in Towson Town Center doing a little bit of holiday shopping.The shop is located right outside the food court. And there was only one other customer while we were there. The whole process, from stepping into the shop to leaving with our beverage took less than 5 minutes. I got a strawberry milk tea with regular tapioca boba and it was probably the best milk tea I have ever had in life.Can't wait to go back and try a different flavor.“
“The service was quick, they had enough seats around to comfortable include a couple of small groups and there place was really clean.Wow. I've had boba tea in California, Europe, Georgia, NYC, etc. and this place was probably the best I've ever tried. I even had to go back the next day to order this drink again. The matcha flavoring was delicious and I loved I could order it with 0 added sugar. The tapioca pearls were the perfect consistency and not too sweat. The milk cap had the perfect balance of salty and sweet plus the ratio they added to the drink was perfect as well. I also appreciated that they did not overload the drink with ice and gave you a good amount of drink for the price.This place was si okay amazing. It didn't taste fake and full of fake low quality pre-made boba mixed. Honestly I can't recommend their matcha boba with a milk cap enough. I will be dreaming about this drink until I visit MD again. Highly recommend supporting this business!“
“The service was quick & friendly. I ordered the beef bento box & strawberry boba tea and it was definitely worth it. I also recommend their spicy tuna maki roll if you want something light! My go to place for a quick bite down the inner harbor.“
“The drinks here are absolutely delicious. About a year ago, I began to try the food and love the sushi sandwiches for quick on the go snacks. They are seasoned perfectly and I always get a side of spicy mayo.I recently stopped in and wanted to try something different. I was a bit disappointed because the teens in the front were not aware of the food menu items. They were innocent in their replies "We work out front, the cook makes that." I asked if they could ask the cook what was in the specified item, unfortunately they replied she speaks Chinese. Then they said "try it, its good." As someone who does not have allergies, ok, but there are some ingredients I do avoid.To rectify this concern, a book with ingredients at the front can be helpful. In most restaurants/quick service, the front of house is aware of the whole menu. I personally suggest more training for the front of house or an allergy/ingredients binder for the customer/employee to review.“

“I heard many things about the Taiwanese Fried Chicken so I wanted to try it out. At this location you could choose the spice level. I chose the mild spice level. When it came out the chicken was not the most crispy but was still hot and the seasoning had a nice flavor to it.I also ordered a Jasmine Green Milk Tea which I loved. The boba was very firm and chewy and the tea flavor was good without being too sweet. Most places I order 30-50% sugar level but here I got 100% and it was perfect. That being sad, I could see how the tea isn't sweet enough for most people.“
“Great selections and great customer service. The environment is kept clean and maintained. Tons of seating if you wanted to sit down and enjoy your tea.Kid-friendliness: The have a variety of kid friendly options that’s separate from the adult options“
“Really good service and prices. Lots of flavor options-two people in our group didn't like their drinks (new to boba so not really sure what they like yet lol) but the girl was nice enough to let both of them get a different drink for no upcharge. And the price was much lower than expected!“
“I am writing this review in the middle of enjoying my fish soup!! It's soo soo good I am happily surprised! I have never been here before, helped it, and Voila! I usually don't post unless severely compelled to do so! Please check this place out for some hearty, flavorful, loaded, soup with all the fixings, true to culture! Quick, friendly service!! You will be happy, full, warm inside, and not broke after because it's not too expensive! It's worth every penny! Two thumbs up! Bon appetite!“
“Bubble Tea is in the name, but what really gets me to go out of my way to visit is the popcorn chicken. I love this place for a box of curry popcorn chicken with a bubble tea. My child and I will sit amongst the giant fluffy characters and play Uno while we wait.“
“Really good, ordered mango sago which was around 7/8 ish dollars, don't remember. It was really good since it's a yogurty drink but not too sweet. Super high quality boba if you're willing to pay a little more than the usual boba places.“

“I like everything about this place; I’d almost consider myself a regular. Your drinks are made to order and Gong Cha offers many ways to make it yours with sweetness level, amount of ice, and add-ons. This location is kept clean, and has a good vibe to it.“
“I downloaded the app bc their self service kiosk had an ad that said 30% off first order. ? The app was easy to use and you get a free drink after ordering 6, so that's a plus!I got a ? ?-Milk Slush for me and a Matcha Boba Milk ? for my teen and we both loved our drinks! They came out SUPER quick after ordering via the app (both visits there), which was another plus, since parking in the plaza was awful.Parking: Parking was a PitA in the plaza both times (and one other time I ended up not getting anything bc I couldn't find parking)... There's an order pickup spot by the front door which is nice, to run in / out quickly!“
“Good Day Everyone,I have come to this place twice since it opened. The place was clean and smelled wonderful. Every employee was nice and greeted me with a smile. The food I purchased was hot and delicious!! I recommend this place 100%. If you are a sushi lover, I fell in love with the Chesapeake roll, and definitely recommend it.“
“I just went there this afternoon with my son for the first time. The cashier with braids Natasha I think was extremely friendly and helpful. I got a Oreo milkshake, mango smoothie and a crepe sundae and it was great. I definitely recommend this place. I will be back ?“
“The tomato based veg broth is just right. I went here with my wife, and although she prefers another location for their broth, for me? This veg broth filled a flavor sensation I didn't know I needed at that moment in my life, but it made a unique memory for me.This. This is the broth flavor infusion I needed.It's like a Korean and Italian fusion, like Ramen and Minestrone, perfectly married, in a flavor sensation that truly enriches the mind and bodyI got mine with an added egg, my wife lamented that there wasn't mushrooms, her favorite!That's also an option, we'll have to add it next time!I loved the unique and interesting musical repertoire during our lunch. It added a delightful touch to the atmosphere. However, I couldn't help but notice that the volume was a tad high for casual conversation. Additionally, while I personally enjoyed the content, I wanted to mention that some of it might be considered less than business-friendly. Just wanted to share my thoughts in the most positive way possible! ?The staff was kind, receptive, friendly, the food was incredible!A new flavor combination I will forever cherish!I told my wife "Babe, ANY time you want to go to lunch here? I'm there!"Great service, nice atmosphere, great food, I'm already looking forward to my next meal here, what a lovely place! ❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️Vegetarian options: The tomato based broth doesn't pretend to be your typical ramen broth, but it delivers on savoriness and flavor“
“I am a big fan of Gong Cha, it is my preferred store/venue for delicious and refreshing bubble tea! Service is quick and smooth, the staff are friendly and helpful with any customized orders. This Towson location of Gong Cha is a great spot to catch up with friends or to just relax after a long work day.“
“I love fried chicken. A lot. Maybe too much. Okay definitely too much. And this place has some tasty chicken. What knocks it down 1 star is the wait times I've experienced. Still worth eating at. I don't do bubble tea but my youngest kid loves it and he raves.“
“Gong Cha is my favorite bubble tea place, and I'm so happy that they now have a Columbia location! I like that you can customize toppings, ice level, sugar level, etc. The milk tea is great, and I recently tried a honeydew drink-- highly recommend!“
“Bubble tea is great but service is very inconsistent. Often staff don’t acknowledge you when you enter or fail to offer to take your order. On one occasion the staff working was fast asleep on the counter at 4pm. The sitting area is often dirty.“
“I really enjoyed this place! My friend recommended going into beseto saying it was like a mini food court and I came across this place on the way out! I love dessert places like this so I was happy to see we had one in the area! I had the red bean taiyaki and it was really good! Warm crispy & delicious. Would definitely go again!“
