Walked in around 7 pm or 8 pm on a Friday with not a long wait for our orders. We had 4 taiyakis of custard, Nutella, red bean, and taro. The filling is pretty good but the batter is a little different from the taiyaki that I know. It's a little too soft for my liking. Our drinks were not bad. We got a strawberry hibiscus tea with boba which was perfect for a hot summer night. We also got peach oolong boba that was alright, nothing stood out much.

Great boba teas and taiyaki!!! Very nice staff that have good service.

cool guy

This place is really friendly, delicious and inviting. Their brown sugar milk teas are so good, and the staff is quick and diligent.

We got a variety of Donuts and some drinks for a pretty good price. Everything was delicious, so we went back in to get some taiyaki. For sure coming back here another time!

I recommend the mango or ube mochi donuts specifically.

Teas are basic, nothing special. Maybe slightly subpar. I was disappointed. Boba is a good type of chewy but tasteless.

The matcha soft serve ice cream is delicious, just the right sweetness amount! Highly recommend if you like matcha

Ordered the Ube mochi donut and the coffee black tea. The drink was amazing, perfect amount of sweetness and balance of coffee/tea flavor. The $4 donut was mediocre. Service was a bit slow as there was only one worker. Parking lot limited with tight/cramped spots.

Loved the tea! Friendly staff too and lots of ice cream options. Only the tea is dairy free though!

Really delicious ice cream!! I got vanilla with strawberry and for the topping I chose peanut M&Ms. I loved it and I will definitely go back for more! Lots of flavors to try.

Really good milk tea!! The mocha mochi donut, the oreo Mochi donut, and the ube Mochi donuts were the best! I wish I could've tried the Black Sesame flavor but they were all out.

Parking: We went on a Sunday, but it's always hard to find parking in Hillcrest. We got lucky and found street parking a couple blocks away.

I would call myself a boba connoisseur, and I had high hopes coming into Gelabong. I was pleasantly surprised by the fast friendly service. Got the coffee and ube boba teas, which were the perfect sweetness (most places are insanely sweet which I don’t like). $20 for 2 boba teas and a mochi strawberry donut was very reasonable. keeping this my go-to spot when I need an after-work treat.
