Editorial Review for Momoko – by Betty Castle
In Short
The tiny store is scented with Asian teas, boutique soaps and incense. Walk inside and find a great selection of toys and trinkets from your favorite Japanese cartoons. There are also Japanese candies, pens, pencils, jewelry and watches, toys, games and a unique atmosphere that's truly off the beaten path. A couple more steps will find you standing among the tables and chairs of the teahouse. Sit and sip or take some home for later.

Today was my first visit to Momoko, and I must say, it was delightful. They have an amazing selection of Japanese and general Asian gift items, along with some quirky miscellaneous items that I have never come across anywhere else. My only complaint, was the service. The store has so much character, they should employ a staff that can live up to it. Attractive girl, but she would have served better as store decoration.
Pros: Variety
Cons: Parking, unengaging staff.

Best bubble teas I've ever had! Their pearls are always nice & soft! The Forbidden love is my favorite, nice fruity taste. The new Junky Raccoon is good, too, a nice caramel flavor - even my bf liked it and he hates tea! Teas run about $3.50-$4.50. They have a ton of pens, stationary, stickers, origami papers, Hello Kitty stuff and Anime toys. Big fan of the Pocky & other candies too. Only problem is that the descriptions of the teas are like "French Kiss - sweetest kiss you've ever tasted" instead of telling you that it's a French vanilla tea with flowery fruit bits. Staff is always super nice about answering questions, though, and they let you substitute with soy milk or no sugar or substitute sugars. Also, it's all made when you order it, so can take a while if there are a lot of people.
Pros: great selection, best teas, friendly service
Cons: mystery teas, long wait, small parking lot
