Been wanting to try this place out for ages! I like the idea of a vegan cafe, and their menu was interesting. What made me really want to come was the free boba drink included in the dinner meal! Unsure if this deal still exists, my review is very late. I ordered garlic chive parcel, spicy mapo tofu and the taro milk bubble tea. The garlic chive parcels definitely should be eaten whilst warm. I ate them as my finishing meal but I wish I hadn't. Nevertheless, they were tasty enough, nicely pan fried outside with a vermicelli and beef filling. The sauce was a good accompaniment and gave the parcel a lot more flavor and worked well. Tasty but nothing amazing. 3/5 The spicy mapo tofu was served with rice and a decent portion, could've done with a bit more tofu but I was content. The flavor was mild, definitely not at all spicy, but I was glad as I didn't really want anything too extreme tonight. The sauce was a good thickness and not soupy which I appreciated. The flavor went well with the rice. The cauliflower was a bit tough and I wasn't really a fan, it it was in smaller bits I think that would've worked better for the dish. 3.5/5 The taro milk tea was delicious, definitely comparable to chatime although I think the portion is a wee bit smaller in comparison. The boba were chewy but not tough like in some boba, and there were taro bits in the milk which were a delight. The taro taste itself was not very strong and I could only really taste a generic sweetness which was the only drawback. Nevertheless I liked the drink. 3.8/5 Overall, the meal was good, I just wasn't particularly blown away by anything, but I did enjoy and it was a good time. The price is also pretty good too, so no major complaints. Cute ambience, really clean furnishing. i also really like their little cabinet and the cabinet desserts looked really good, a wee little range of cakes and slices, some vegan friendly. Keen to try those next!
