My hometown is Son La, I am currently living and working in Hanoi. On the occasion of the New Year, I went back to my hometown to visit relatives and meet my friends from kindergarten at a cafe called "A! Cheede" located in To Hieu ward, Son La.
The main color tone of the shop is white and red with a very cute bear logo. Because it is Tet, the space of the shop is decorated with a strong Tet atmosphere, with red flags with yellow stars flying all over the space of the shop along with pots of yellow chrysanthemums placed around, creating a bright, fresh color. Around the shop, there are many ornamental plants, creating a cool and pleasant space. In particular, the shop also arranges many mirrors for girls to freely look in the mirror and take check-in photos.
Regarding the space of the shop, in addition to the indoor seating area, the shop also has a spacious outdoor seating area, very suitable for gathering friends to relax and chat.
Regarding the menu, the shop has many special milk teas with prices ranging from 1 to 2 dollars (equivalent to 25k - 50k), which I find quite reasonable. The teas here are quite diverse and unique, from green Thai tea, grass jelly black tea, cheese oolong, banana milk tea, tiramisu milk tea, buckwheat lotus tea, honey jasmine green tea, lychee black tea, hot/iced cocoa, banana cream chocolate, to seasonal juices such as orange, apple, pomegranate, watermelon, pineapple. The shop also serves coffees such as black, brown, silver coffee, salted coffee, banana cream coffee, fresh milk cheese coffee. In addition, there are fruit teas such as soursop tea, passion fruit soursop tea, mangosteen soursop tea, apricot lemon tea, aloe vera lychee tea, aloe vera kumquat tea, peach pink tea, plum tea with peach jelly, strawberry tea, peach lemon tea, mulberry tea, tamarind with jackfruit seeds, pandan green rice tea, tropical mango tea and winter melon tea. The special thing is that the menu also has many types of rich toppings such as black pearls, white pearls, string pearls, royal pearls, coconut jelly, aloe vera jelly, cheese pearls... Each drink has two sizes to choose from: size M (500ml) and size L (700ml).
An interesting thing is that if there is a bear image next to any dish on the menu, it is a special dish, a product that creates the brand of the shop that you must try. For example, cheese black tea or honey black tea are 2 drinks with a bear image next to it and are the best-selling drinks of the shop.
This time I tried a cup of buckwheat lotus tea, which is the best-selling dish of the shop. If you love milk tea and want to try a new flavor, buckwheat lotus tea is a great choice. The tea is made from pure buckwheat seeds, without preservatives or artificial flavors. The tea has a light sweetness, combined with rich cheese cream and fragrant lotus seeds, this drink is delicious and has a new taste.
I really like this tea shop and will definitely come back next time. If you have the opportunity to visit Son La, don't miss this cafe!
