as noted, it was great to see three vegan onigiri options. i’m not sure if they have dairy alternatives for milk but they do have fun fruit tea options. they’re supportive of the community and the staff is great. if they had/have dairy-free milk, it would be a go-to.

Stopped here for taro milk tea on a hot day. I ordered at the counter and it was ready quickly. It was good and much needed. The only caveat is that there's only one kiosk to order from so for someone who is trying this place for the first time, I would've liked to see my options. But I was in a hurry and ended up getting my drink before the couple at the kiosk were even done placing their order. Other than that, would recommend trying if you're in the area.
