Avocado Coffee smoothie tastes great! You wouldn’t imagine such combination could delightfully tickle your taste buds.The store provides loyalty membership. I guess after buying several drinks you get free drink.Other interesting combo that you are surprised to see is, they sell macaroons and dry shrimps together. πŸ˜‚

Current addiction! Its refreshing and you can customize it with coconut milk or coconut water for the che. You can ask for the cup to be sealed if you are going to be eating it later and can have the ice be separated if youre not eating it right away.

This place is great! We went here after going to the Korean BBQ place next door. Great sized menu.. The drinks were refreshing and macaroons delicious.

The dessert che drinks were okay. Some of the options were not sweet enough for me personally. While they have a pretty big selection, theres not a lot of variety flavor wise. Its nice that they separate the ice if asked.

The service is great here! They are always so nice, especially the owner. They always make any accommodations to my drinks I ask for and make good suggestions.As for the drinks, they are all so good! My favorites are the fruit addict and avocado smash but Ive tried almost all their chΓ©s and smoothies at this point. I love how they use real fruit rather than the fakey powder many places do. The ingredients always taste fresh and so good!The pandan waffle is also really good as well as the cream puffs - vanilla and durian.Definitely recommend!

*BEWARE*First time buying from this location and will not come back. Ordered the Bambu Special the drink looked promising. Dranked 1/4 of the way and felt something stuck to the roof of my mouth. I was entering the highway had to pull over. Finally pulled it out it was a darn long gray hair stuck to a piece of coconut. Hair in food you can see but hair in a drink is another story. I was furious I called them explaining the situation. The employee offered me a replacement. Are you serious? After experiencing that who wants a replacement. I requested a refund and talk to a manager. Apparently the manager cant speak english. Took them 10 minutes to process the refund. I then ask if the person that makes the drink have gray hair. The employee confirmed that person is the manager. Ok so the people in back must not wear any hair net or hat disgusting.

My husband and I were in on a Friday at 3 and there was just me and him and another couple already sitting down drinking their drinks-no one else. So I dont get why this girl, would make a mistake on my husbands order. I ordered the bambu favorite and my husband ordered the cafe mocha. She then turned to my husband and asked what size? He said large. 10 minutes later we were given our drinks. He then said is this a large? She says no, its the regular size. Why would you have even asked him what size when youre going to give him the regular size. She didnt even apologize or say she was going to make the correct size. She charged us for a.large but got regular. Mind you, we tipped her so we figured shell try to make it right. Nope. So I would suggest not tipping until you get your drink. I would have argued but didnt feel like doing that today. I have enough in my plate and I just didnt feel like doing that today so I decided to write a review Instead.

This small Vietnamese dessert shop doesnt skimp out on any ingredients. Their menu is quite large, but I tend to always order the Summer Delight. You can even create your own. This particular shop also has a rewards program that offers coupons and discounts.

Not like the bambu in Houston texas. Che is suppose to be sweet, would be much better if all the desert are sweeter. Once you add ice the desert or drink will become really bland.

It’s nice to know that there is another option for ChΓ¨ than to go to the Eden Center. I’ve basically tried it all on the multiple trips that I’ve made here. My favorite smoothie is the Passion In Love! The milk teas and chΓ¨ are classic and never disappoint.Highly recommend coming here.They also have a few games you can play while waiting for just hanging out.

I was just browsing the neighborhood and happened to visit this place. Great stop. Very busy on a Saturday night. Think its one of the best kept secret locations of Annandale. I had the mango smoothie and it was beautiful. I look forward to trying the varieties that they offer.

I’ve had this in the Dallas area (TX), but this location was like no other. We ordered the #10, and it was spectacular!!! Each item in the drink was so soft and fresh. The best I’ve ever had. The ones in Richardson and Plano, Texas are now closed down because their tapioca jellies were no longer fresh.

They definitely have some small issues to work out. the coffee milk tea was a little to bitter and not sweet enough. the boba was a little firm but acceptable. The free yogurt they gave out was icy but got better as it melted. The fruit was fresh. They really need to work on nailing down balance. Seems like good ingredients, and I dont have to go to the Eden center !

Refreshing, fresh take on sweet drinks. I am typically used to boba ice teas, this is a nice alternative with lots of different flavor combinations. Ive never had vietnamese style drinks and this is worth a try if youre into Boba.

Service was excellent, we interacted with 3 staff members and we even received a free waffle (for no incentive, just generosity) which was very good. The drinks (which is their speciality) were excellent. The menu provided a wide variety, we purchased 3 different drinks, all of them were high quality, very unique from the typical Boba tea experience, were reasonably priced, and was directly proportionate for what we spent. The environment was family oriented, lots of free board and card games, and seating area was spacious. Recommend anyone wanting to get an oriental dessert drink that is different from the Vietnamese Boba Tea.

I went there with relatives the first day and the second day of opening. We were excited because we tried the Bambu at Eden Center a while back, and was impressed. And thankfully this place accepts credit cards!I had their taro milk tea, avocado shake, some macarons, and the pandan waffles. They were all good. They have a very good selection of drinks/smoothies, and they do offer a rewards program - just enter your phone number at the counter (which I prefer to carrying a card around).There was a bit of a wait albeit there being just a few customers, but after I realized that they actually use real taro/avocado in their drink, I felt like it was worth it. I do feel like they can work on this because it will be a nightmare if and when they start having bigger lines.Parking is pretty limited - its right next to Kogiya, and it has always been a challenge to park here. Theres a small parking area next to it though but even that is occupied most of the time. Place is decently big and was pretty clean, but not a big fan of the layout of the counter immediately facing the door.Overall Im glad its finally open, and well be visiting this place pretty often!

UPDATE: We were able to stop by and they have a loyalty system associated with the payment kiosk, every thing we ordered was great. Staff is very friendly and explained different drinks to us. Worth the visit!I cant put any stars yet, but they had their grand opening on June 2nd. I drove by today, because I saw that a location opened up here and was excited to try it because I love the one in Houston. Sad to find out they were closed on Wednesdays. If youre the owner and can read this: PLEASE PUT YOUR HOURS OF BUSINESS ON YOUR FRONT DOOR AND ON GOOGLE! I will stop by again, so Ill update this review after we get to try it.
