I hesitated to write this because I don’t want this to deter anyone from trying sipping streams, it’s a great local business. I just happened to have a somewhat negative experience, and I’m only writing this because I noticed the owners seem to check reviews frequently and it’s an issue that can be easily be fixed. I’m a vegetarian, and while I’m not like out of commission or anything if I eat meat, it does hurt my stomach and it’s not fun. With that being said, I ordered the veggie bun and ended up getting the chicken bun instead. It took me a couple of bites to realize that it was chicken, and when I brought it up to the front they quickly apologized and asked me if I wanted the bun I ordered. I told them yes, and they brought it out. It wasn’t very good, it was pretty plain and disappointing. The two bites I had of the chicken bun was good though!
I’m not writing because I think the workers suck and did this intentionally; I know it was an accident. They’re all young and honestly had great customer service when I first came in, but as a business that serves food it’s important that people’s dietary needs aren’t overlooked. Like I said, I’m not on my deathbed. I just went home with a stomachache. But, it could be a much bigger issue for those with more extreme food allergies. So please just make sure people are getting what they ordered and also maybe put a little more flavor into the...
Read moreAmazing tea cafe for tea-lovers out there who are seeking to experience a variety of tea selection!!!
Outstanding service and tasty food! I came in several days ago, specifically looking for milk tea with boba. I ended up trying their other kind of tea, pork bun, and congee.
I love the congee so much! The beef meatballs are the perfect meatball that reminds me of Pho meatball, very tasty! The ingredients included in the congee are very exquisite. The entire bowl of it took me out of the cold of Fairbanks, reminding me of home. The pork bun was exceptional! Very fresh and juicy on every bites! Coming from Washington not expecting much from a tea shop but the food complements the beverage very well. The coconut tea was striking, cold and refreshing, yet delicate in each sip of its perfection! If there is one thing that needs improvement, it would be the bubble topping, which was rather hard to chew in my opinion.
Jenny and Bryan were super friendly and nice! As someone new to Fairbanks, they informed me about what to do, communities, events, and what to be mindful of in Fairbanks, like the snow, how to winterize my vehicle, and even their upcoming Anime event!
I am definitely coming back very often in the...
Read moreI was first introduced to Sipping Streams by a group of friends who wanted to have a tea party. I thought it was a silly but cute idea and went along for the ride. We showed up to fancy tables set with perfect tea cups, tea pots, and platters of cute tea sandwiches and scones and DELICIOUS fruit. There was sugar and cream for the tea & jams and whipped cream for the goodies. We were so impressed and the experience was beyond what I had expected. I have been coming back ever since. Their tea is a little pricey, but it is such great quality. Plus, the jasmine green tea pearls I purchased from here can be used up to three times. So I made a cup, drink it up, and then add more hot water - the taste is just as great and strong as the first batch. I have also had their Silky Sweet Matcha Green Tea - and YUM. I actually came back and bought the sweet matcha green tea powder I loved it so much. There are pastries, salads, soups, sandwiches, and all sorts of tea accessories. Every employee I've seen has been so helpful and kind. I will keep coming back again and again. Thank you...
