Used to come here every week for the hot taro bubble tea. Winn was the best, even remembered me after I moved away and visited a year later!!

He is a friendly, interesting guy, and he really got to know his customers, and he made everyone feel welcome. That's a lost art in this day and age where you feel like you are just being run through an assembly line and rushed out the door at other establishments. I wish Winn good luck in whatever is next.--CCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-70913836045303145232016-09-06T09:16:18.287-04:002016-09-06T09:16:18.287-04:00Damn.
