The venue is slightly on the smaller side, and thus during their busier times it may be hard to find a table, but believe me...it's worth it! The interior decor is quite unique and sets its apart from other dessert places and tea houses in the area.
The hands-down bestseller at Up2you seems to be their honey toast. It's slightly different from the other more-common boba shop brick toasts, but nonetheless it's mmm mmm good! Fresh out of the oven, the butter and honey flavors complement each other quite well. There's also an option where you can add fruit, a cream sauce and/or a scoop of ice cream at a small additional charge. My personal favorite is the pandan cream sauce and green tea ice cream combination.....deeeelicious!

Other highlights include the Japanese crepe (with the same accompaniment options as the brick toast) and the snow ice (a variation of Taiwanese shaved ice which, although doesn't quite compare to the likes of Class 302 up in LA, still hits the spot nonetheless).

The drinks here are tasty as well, including the Up2you milk tea, green milk tea, and Thai milk tea, as well as an assortment of coffee drinks and smoothies.

This place definitely gets crowded, especially on weekend nights. Parking in front of the cafe is limited, but there is abundant street parking nearby. It's a great place to come chill with some friends, play some card games, or even get your study on. Remember kids, "stressed" spelled backwards is "desserts". ;)
Ps. They have a great stamp card deal, so don't forget to pick one up at the counter!
