They have MOCHI!
It's not on the menu that I can see, but I saw someone mention it on Yelp and had to see for myself. I have not been able to find anywhere that does handmade mochi in Albany other than this place, because they do indeed have it.
So far, it seems to be three available flavors: strawberry, mango and Oreo. The strawberries come chopped up and mixed with Cool Whip, and the Oreos come crushed.

And yes, I got a punch card for here too because that's just how...

The staffs were not very professional, staffs were struggling with finding customers with the right drink without knowing to use the order number…my friends were told by the staff that the drinks will be ready in 20min but turns out to be 1hr…two large drink will be around 18$ after tax, the desserts seems to be store bought, not very authentic(just my personal opinion)
-if you want to just try it out, it would be a good place to take a picture in. If you usually go to Queens, Manhattan or other popular areas for drinks, then it might not be...
