Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.

Great little hidden, not so hidden, gem! Super friendly staff! Got the custom mixed unsweetened tea with SF coconut peach. Simple but great menu options of ice cream, energy drinks, teas, and java

Somehow have never been here for all the time I've lived in modesto, but im glad I finally tried them out. Staff was friendly and quick to get my shaved ice out. The shaved ice was delicious (obviously) and i can definitely see myself coming back on a hot day

The owner (the older lady that’s always there) is super rude and money hungry. Ever since she’s been there running the place there’s no one hardly there. There always used to be a long line in the drive thru but everytime I drive by it’s empty. She crossed off/removed all the prices off the board in the drive thru menu so she can charge whatever she wants and UP charges/overcharges you for every little thing. You’re serving shaved ice lady not fancy gelato lol chill out on the prices! I ended up paying $24 for two CHILD SIZE cups and added regular amount of sweet cream to only one. $24!? And had to deal with her nasty condescending attitude when I asked how much it was to add the sweet cream. She doesn’t give you a price when ordering or is hesitant and then hits you with a grand total which is an arm and a leg! See for yourself how there’s literally no one ever there, plus she wouldn’t honor my stamp card for a free cup which had ALL the stamps full and said I had to purchase one more LARGE to get a free one next time. Ummm what? I had to look twice to make sure, and it sure was full. So I just ordered my kids cups and won’t be returning. This isn’t the first time, she’s always

Pura Vida is a gem! The staff is wonderful, the owner is lovely, and the shaved ice is simply amazing. I discovered this place a couple of months ago and have been returning almost every weekend. The Dreamicle shaved ice, combined with ice cream and condensed milk, is an absolute heavenly experience!

See the photo it says open. It’s 745 on a Friday night, the listing says close at 9 and they closed it. No courtesy. Used to be a great place but lately we’ve been coming here an hour and a half if we’re the closing time and they close and lock everything down and they don’t have any reasoning for it either and they don’t update their Google maps listing this is unacceptable for a business. I think they’re gonna go out of business soon.
