Description
The customizable drinks come in playful packaging with notably chewy boba, though fans of milk foam will have to do without it here. Aside from the standard fruit and milk blends, keep an eye out for a secret menu featuring options like pineapple tea. For a quick bite, the rice balls are served warm; the Yaya chicken rice ball comes packed with marinated chicken and seaweed salad. It is a fast-paced neighborhood hub popular with local students and hospital staff, even if service consistency can occasionally fluctuate.
