The vegetable onigiri was incredibly refreshing and light—exactly the right way to start a meal. What really stood out was the quality of the nori; I’ve had some that tasted overwhelmingly fishy, but this was mild, fresh, and slightly sweet.
The sweet piglet in a blanket was fantastic too. It struck the perfect balance between sweetness and tang, likely from some pickled vegetables. I’m saving my second one because it was so good—the flavors blended beautifully together.
As for the vanilla crème brûlée, I had never tried it before, but I loved the texture and the right amount of caramelized sugar on top. Any more would have been excessive, and any less would have left it lacking the text...
This pastry shop is pretty small. There was an okay selection of pre made Chinatown style pastries and a few cute looking cakes. Both of the 2 parties in front of me bought cakes off the shelf...it was advised to them to order cakes ahead next time. We got a couple of coconut cream buns (half the size of Chinatown, but tasted good), couple of bbq pork buns and a couple of hot dog buns. They weren't bad, but Chinatown buns are much better and cheaper and larger. This is what happens when looking for buns in Allston, I guess. They weren't bad, but didn't blow us away. I'd go back if I was really desperate and can't drive 10 more minutes down to Chinatown. However, this place is a lot cleaner t...
I had ordered an ube cheesecake for pickup. It was for pickup the day before Mother's day. As I was driving to the location to pick up the cake, I got a call that the cheesecake I ordered was sold. The person who called me apologized and said that they would be able to make another one and deliver it to my house the same day as well as a refund. I was happy that there was a compromise and had agreed to this but later on got a call that they would not be able to do it anymore. The person who had called again offered other things instead or to be able to get the cheesecake the next day. However, at this point the experience left a really bad taste in my mouth and I did not want to do business...
My daughter I was super excited to find a bakery near our house, however, it was a big let down. We bought a piece of pandan cheesecake ube cheesecake, 2 creme brulee with same flavors, a macaroon, and Thai ice tea. My daughter tried all of them and said Mommy it tastes so weird, i can see the disappointment on her face, which made me feel bad 'cause prior to that I told her I will take her here more often to buy cakes, guess not. This is a cute place to hang out I really want to support local business but all the things I bought were inedible except the tea, total around $40 all go in the trash.

I ordered through UberEats. All items arrived promptly and tasted fresh! I'm extra pleased that my Sweet Piglet in the Box took my written preferences into account and cooked the fried egg the way I liked. The pandan waffles are chewy and dreamy, with a tender, bright interior and a nice, chewy exterior. In addition to the previous items, I ordered an extra Pandan waffle, Ube Coconut Muffin, and 1 Medium Yeunyeung. Overall, I'm really pleased with my order. I will return, hopefully in person with my friends the next time we're looking for a sweet savory spot!
The food and drink selection here is amazing! It's a fantastic spot to relax with friends or to spend some quiet time by yourself. The staff are friendly, and the seating areas are always clean. I highly recommend this place and I would definitely return!

This is my favorite café! I enjoy the Philly onigiri and Vietnamese iced coffee several times a week, and they are always spot on. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is fantastic!
Best bubble tea in the area! The pastry ingredients are always fresh and delicious. Haven't been disappointed by the food or service yet! Love having a place like this in town.
