Great HK style egg waffle and ice cream, 10/10. We tried many Asian style sweets in Boston, and this place is our favorite
Insanely good if you ever want a little treat. At this point I've had it all and the salmon onigiri is my fav my favorite spot for ice cream too!! The puffs are delish
Monkey King Tea is such a cute little boba place - my favorite thing to actually get is their cream stuffed churros with Nutella drizzle! The servers and cashiers are always so sweet as well. Will be coming back.
This place is a hidden gem. It has so many amazing offerings. When I lived nearby I would get boba frequently with my friend, who had lived in Medford longer and had told me about it. Have enjoyed every flavor I've tried. Over the past few years they've expanded the menu to include awesome ice cream, and now mochi donuts. They also have indulgent snacks. The sundae creations have always looked really cool, so I finally tried one. It had matcha ice cream (the best I've had in a while!) pocky chocolate covered biscuit sticks, mochi (which I've missed as a topping), and a bubble waffle! My bf got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch mochi donut. Great spot, highly recommend!
Food: Got the hot HK milk tea (less sugar, oat milk) and it was good, as I wasn't feeling well and really in the mood for a hot tea latte. Really warm, perfect temperature for Boston's fall weather. Service: The barista/cashier were both nice! It was the barista's first time making a hot drink and it was cute to see him being trained. Bathroom: A bit small, but clean and nice to have one for customer use.
