This spot has got to be the coziest and enchanting boba shop that I've been to. Other spots focus on the simple aesthetic (nothing wrong with that) but this spot made me feel like I was at home. They have tables and couches indoors and an outdoor patio adorned with colorful paper lanterns. I believe you can order from the patio by scanning the QR code but I've never tried. I just ordered from the counter inside. They have board games available so it seems like a spot that's great for catching up with friends and family. One of the major things I hope they improve on is being able to adjust sweetness levels on the drinks. I don't like my drinks super sweet so it'd be nice to adjust the sweetness levels without having to go back home and add more ice to the drinks.
|| L O CA T I O N / P A R K I N G || -Cross Streets are Katella Ave. and Brookhurst St. -Plenty of parking spots. The spot is kind of hidden so you'll really need to look out for their gigantic sign. I took a photo of it to help potential visitors to spot the place. We missed it and had to do an u-turn.
|| D R I N K S / D E S S E R T S || Kumquat Passion Fruit - This was a new drink on their menu and since I rarely see kumquat drinks at boba shops, I was curious about it. It's a pretty refreshing drink but as I mentioned before about the sweetness level of the drinks, this was not an exception. It was way too sweet for me to enjoy it on the spot. I had to go back home and add more ice to water it down a bit.
Rose Green Tea with Cheese Foam ($5.95) - I think the sweetness overpowered the rose and tea flavor. I really hope they do offer options to adjust sweetness levels in the future. I think being able to adjust the sweetness of this drink would bring out the tea or rose flavor.
Taiyaki (2pc for $4.25) - I got the 2pc taiyaki with the custard filling. Nutella filling is also available. The pricing is pretty affordable and the texture was...
Read moreA super cute secluded coffee + tea shop in the most unexpected place!
The other reviews were not lying when they said that it is VERY easy to miss this place. I had to make a loop around and I still missed it again, haha. It is BEFORE the big shopping plaza; keep an eye out for a recycling center in a parking lot and that is where you should turn into. Other than that, they have a large parking lot that they share with a few other businesses, but it is very easy to find a spot.
When you walk into the shop, you can tell that they really love their store. It is decorated super cute and homey. There is plenty of seating everywhere and outlets on every wall. They have one table near the side of the store, but you can easily work from any of their plush couches and armchairs.
I can only speak on their drinks since I didn't get any food, but their House Special Milk Tea has such a classic taste! I got mine with only 50% sugar, but it taste exactly like the classic milk teas from 2000s/2010s before everything because super sweet and complicated, lol. Not only was it super smooth, but you can actually taste the black tea they use!
Another winning point was their customer service. The staff took the time to answer my questions and check to make sure that I was okay with my drink! It looks like they only have 2-3 staff working at a time, but everyone was super sweet despite how busy they are. Another nice thing I noticed was that they took the time to remember repeat customers' names! And this one was just me, but one of them even helped me watch my stuff when I went to the bathroom (thanks once again)!
This is a classic tea house and the perfect place to work out of. I would definitely come back again if I am...
Read moreFor a cute lil bubble tea cafe, this kinda goes hard!! Not to mention, the wonderful staff were unreal. Like the cafe itself was SUPER vibey. Like me and my girlie were just sitting there, chatting away, and next thing you know, they called on our names for the order and were like… unreasonably apologetic?! They had a busy morning and so we just waited for our turn, but apparently felt bad we had to wait ‘so long’ but it was nothing at all! They were so nice, they handed us Banh Trang Rong Bien as a ‘sorry’ and GORL, you did NOT have to do all that.
I’m absolutely in LOVE with the House Coffee with grass jelly, (my besties got their drinks and loved them). They didn’t let us adjust the sweetness, which I was a lil skeptical about but then the drink arrived, and omg they’re soooo good, she REALLY gagged me! We got custard Taiyaki, was a slay. The free Banh Trang Rong Bien, was a BIG slay. Like we snacked on them all day and finished the ENTIRE bag. Like who’s a skinny legend? Not us….
All that to say, would deff...
