I stopped by here with my daughter. I like this place. The prices are good and the cookies were great.
It's been 2.5 years since I have been here! I had been craving the popcorn chicken for 2.5 years! Still delicious! Chai was great. Service flawless. Chicken basil Thai fried rice perfect. Atmosphere clean and cozy. It's no wonder I spent almost $60 just on myself (minus one tea for my sister). Had to stock up since I don't know when I'll be back.
The food here is which is so unexpected from a boba shop. Their boba is super good too, not too heavy but light and fragrant with tea aroma. Their baked goods are also duper, i love their pork floss bun. For boba, i really like the roasted oolong milktea. It is kinda self-serve service, but the employees are very friendly. Be sure to ask for stamp card to collect. It's a cute little place, perfect for brunch and work/studying.
So I have a ladies group that meets for brunch and we went to Zimo this past Saturday morning. First of all Zimo has just a really great atmosphere. Whether it's the lighting or the music it gives you a very positive vibe when you walk in. They have a selection of pastries on display that you walk around and pick up yourself and then go to the counter to order your drinks. The pastries are fabulous, especially the one with strawberries and cream. It's just so light and fresh, not too sweet. Just absolutely delicious. Everyone enjoyed their various pastries and drinks, which came out fairly quickly. Michael, who was working when we were there, was very accommodating and turned down the music just a little so we could have our discussion. Our group prides itself on not repeating a restaurant, but a few of the ladies said they definitely want to return to Zimo.
I tried most All good, friendly staff Not too sweet, fair price, great options They also offer some quick dishes
