" I highly recommend the Koala Bakery & Cafe if you love bubble tea and Asian desserts. I have visited a few times and can’t get enough! The boba is perfectly chewy, and the variety of flavors is top-notch! I especially loved their sakura bread, which was delightful. However, the ambience could be better – a bit crowded sometimes, but definitely worth it. Don’t miss their mochi buns! They’re unbelievably good! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I stumbled upon Koala Bakery after going to a nearby cinema and we loved the selection they had! I ordered a satisfying chicken sandwich which was nicely toasted with sweet pepper and chicken, but the fries were a bit soggy. The service was cheerful, and they shared the best dessert recommendations! We tried their signature bubble tea and it's one of the best I've had! I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Koala Bakery & Cafe is a delightful spot! I was craving a sweet treat, so I decided to try their famous bubble waffle with ice cream. Oh boy, it did not disappoint! The flavors were rich and delicious. The bubble tea however, was okay but I felt it lacked that authentic taste I was hoping for. The staff were friendly, though the waiting time could use some improvement. Overall, a solid place for sweet lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m not usually someone who writes reviews, but I had such a wonderful time at Koala Bakery that I had to share! The staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home. We especially loved the matcha lattes and believe me, their desserts are to die for! I had the green tea cake, and it was deliciously unique! The atmosphere is super chill, and it’s a great study spot too. I’ll be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m absolutely in love with Koala Bakery! The staff are so friendly, and the food is authentic and fresh! The mango boba was a nice treat and the tiramisu is one of the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend visiting if you're a dessert lover. The only real complaint is while the place is cute, it can get crowded quickly. Nonetheless, it’s a must-visit when in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Koala Bakery and Cafe, and I just have to say WOW! I had the bubble tea, which was flavorful and refreshing, and I also tried a piece of their strawberry cheesecake. It was divine! I was amazed by the decor and how warm the cafe felt. The service was a little slow, but that didn’t ruin my experience. I’m already planning a return visit next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend Koala Bakery enough! Their boba drinks are some of the best I've ever tasted, with real fruit flavors that are not overly sweet. The staff is amazing – they even remembered my order from my previous visit! The ambience is bright and uplifting, making it a great place to meet friends or simply grab a dessert after a long day. If you're in the area, don't miss this gem! " (*Curated Review*)
