I can’t stress enough how amazing this place is. The workers are always so kind and it seems like the customers I encounter there are so nice too! They have the best boba tea 🧋

Initially came for the boba and didn’t care for the donuts. Funny enough, I loved the donut and was unfortunately disappointed with my drink. I ordered a black milk tea with tapioca pearls and it lacked flavor. The tapioca was not the best quality either. I decided to get a classic glazed donut (not pictured because it was inhaled immediately). It was easily one of the greatest donuts I’ve had in a very long time. It was so soft and fluffy! The inside is very cute and clean. I really liked how they have photos of their regulars displayed. There is also a self order kiosk. I understand that the construction on Ankeny makes entering businesses somewhat difficult, but I think it’d be worth giving them a try! Maybe next time I will try a fruit tea instead.

Made a random stop here and very glad we did so! It's kind of a hole in the wall but they have lines going out the store, and for good reason. The doughnuts here were the perfect flavor and texture, in my opinion. Not too cakey, not too sweet. They also have HK egg waffles here. I love bubble waffles! The only thing is that I wish they had more toppings for them like fresh fruit. I had mine plain because I didn't see any suitable toppings and it was so delicious. The milk teas were also fantastic and not overly sweet. My boyfriend was able to adjust the sugar level on his drink but I was not able to with my fruit latté. It didn't matter because they did not overload it with syrup. This is a place that focuses on quality, that's for sure.

Great doughnuts, by far some of the best I’ve ever had. I would 100% recommend going here. The Santa’s are also amazing!

They have the best fruit teas in town. I love them sooooo much! I go there every week. They are my kryptonite lol. Zero percent sugar, poppings, and Green Jasmine fruit tea. Just delicious 😋. And they have excellent customer service. Very kind, every time. Recommend this place one thousand percent!!!!!!! They have yummy Hong Kong waffles too. I love adding butcherscotch cookie chips to them. Soooo good.
