Zero Express

Wow. My one of my favorite spots to have coffee at while I'm down by Long Beach. They have Vietnamese coffee and Horchata. Such a unique combo. It's simply delicious

Finally got to try Zero Express and it did not disappoint! There's a Zero Degrees near my house but because it's in such a busy plaza I almost never have the opportunity to try it. When I finally had the chance to stop by the shop in Long Beach, I took it and ran with it. My boyfriend ordered the house coffee which is a Vietnamese-style cold brew with 2 sizes. The flavor is very rich and the overall quality and flavor is amazing. I opted for the ube milkshake which was pretty pricey at $5.50 but came with a cute little sour belt candy, toasted marshmallow, and rainbow marshmallow twist. The boba was incredibly sweet and soft, indicating its freshness, and the ube was equally amazing. Overall loved this drink! One thing I like about Zero Express is that you can order two drinks in one if you're having trouble choosing one or the other. My only gripe is that there are certain drinks that are excluded from this option like the ube which really disappoints me because I was hoping to try the mangonada as well... I guess that just means I have to come back! I wish that their mason jars weren't so expensive cuz I really wanted to buy one, but it is an option for you as well. Not sure if you can bring it back to the shop like Snow Monster but if you could then that's pretty cool!

Wanted to try a new boba spot out in Long Beach and found this little gem on Yelp. Very simple design and menu but what they do offer is gold. I first got a round of jasmine milk tea and a sea salt jasmine green tea. Both were tasty and the boba had the perfect honey/sugar taste infused. Since I was so impressed, I decided I needed a drink for the road and got a coffee cream tea in a glass bottle which only came out to $4.50, a total STEAL. the bottle is so cute and presentable that imma reuse to carry milk to work.
