YUMMY Boba & Desserts(New Utrecht Ave)

The ice rice with taro ball (milk tea flavor) is great. Though service can be improved. This dessert is loaded with toppings and is great for 2 person. It has popping boba, peanut, raisin, taro ball, coconut jelly, herbal jelly, sweet ice jelly, and purple rice. Herbal jelly is much softer than other store. The taro ball is on the soft side, does not have the chew I want. Sweet ice jelly is really light. Milk tea is a bit too sweet, only used half for the dessert. Overall, really like the mix of texture and flavor I can get with this dessert and will definitely get it again. Ordered online for pick up, did not even start the prepare way after the pick up time.

A lovely place! We really enjoyed the drinks. We tried a dog-shaped dessert and mochi—everything was beautifully packed and presented. There’s a bar counter where you can sit and enjoy your food. We had a great experience!

I ordered the pistachio cake and the flavor was really good — moist, fresh, and not too sweet. However, I did notice a problem with the packaging. The paper used to wrap the bottom of the cake was peeling, and some of the black ink transferred onto the bottom of the cake. It didn’t affect the taste, but it was concerning to see. I hope the bakery can consider using a different type of wrapping paper, because the cake itself was delicious.

Boba competition is strong in this part of Brooklyn! Yummy Boba has to look out for the neighboring bubble tea places like Nom tea and Mochick! Unfortunately, I do think they might have a leg up. Yummy Boba is right below the D line tracks so it does get quite loud when the trains go by. Atmosphere wise, the floral theme and bright lights help boost visibility of the place. The barista was really nice too but I was rather bummed they were out of earl grey that day. I settled for a caramel bubble tea with pudding. Pretty good and standard! Seems like drinks only come in one giant size. Unfortunately, I have to deduct points for the "seaweed" cake that I spontaneously bought. For $12, I did not taste or see any seaweed. Perhaps they only used seaweed flakes? It should definitely be renamed as pork floss cake because that was the majority of the topping. Although the taste was OK, I felt duped. There is other savory food on the menu such as chicken wings and bento boxes. Maybe there's redemption there, but I can't trust the desserts!

The store itself is very cute however the order we made (Signature Taro Ball) looked completely different than the original picture. The entire order was practically just milk and there was barely any filling/actual taro inside.
