I have been to All About Cha Stylish Tea and Coffee several times, and I feel that this place provides just an alright experience drinks-wise. This location provides quite decent customer service and atmosphere, but I found the drinks I had so far to be just okay!
I visited for the first time a few years ago during a family outing. I cannot fully remember what we ordered then, but I remember the Bulgogi Breakfast Wrap being pretty tasty! Unfortunately, I have not had it very recently, so I cannot comment on if it still holds up. However, I would order it again if I got food from here.
Sometime after that, I visited All About Cha for the second time since one of my family members was visiting. They wanted to try some of the drinks from here! One of them was the White Mocha Green Freddo Love. The “Love” indicates a regular size. From the pictures I had then, it looked so beautiful.
Since I had been wanting to have it again, I came back to this location around a couple weeks ago with one of my parents. At the time of walking in, I could not remember what the drink was actually called, so I asked the employee working at the time for some help. After showing the old picture, they quickly recognized it and pointed us in the right direction. I was very pleasantly surprised at how quick they recognized it, and how helpful they were!
In addition to that, it looked just the same as before! I would say out of the drinks I tried so far, the White Mocha Green Freddo Love is my favorite. I could tell from the first sip that it was smooth and rich in taste. In this kind of drink, the Green Tea was not as apparent as I thought it would be. This was because of how it was made to be somewhat sweeter than the usual cup of Green Tea (which does make sense). To me, this kind of drink is more of a treat every now and then rather than what I would normally drink on a regular basis though.
I let my parent try some of it, and they really liked it! They are not usually a fan of teas, but they commented that in this one you could not really taste it (which is good for them). I would say if someone wants the Green Tea flavors to be more apparent they should go for another drink, but for those wanting to try it anyways I would say go right ahead!
The following week, I came back to All About Cha with the same parent and got the Iced Café Mocha Freddo Passion (a larger size than the Love) and the Iced Black Royal Milk Love With Brown Sugar Boba. The second one was for my sibling.
The coffee was noticeably a bit strong, but not particularly in an unpleasant way. I felt that it was a balanced drink without being too sweet. It was not bitter or sour either. It served its purpose and was smooth to drink at the time. From the menu, it was listed to have Toasted Pecans, which I was super excited to have since I love them! For some reason though, it did not have it. :( It did not completely take away from the drinking experience, but it was not expected.
I tried a little bit of the Iced Black Royal Milk Love With Brown Sugar Boba later, and my parent and sibling also drank it (mostly). My initial concern was to make sure that it was not too bitter. It seemed that the Brown Sugar Boba did sweeten it some, but I felt that it could also stand fine on its own.
However, the Brown Sugar Boba left a lot to be desired. I did not expect much from this place since they are not known for their Boba exactly, but it was vastly different than what we were used to. The texture was not super pleasant. It was not as chewy—our teeth could pierce through it very easily in a weirdly solid and slightly crunchy way. This threw off the drinking experience unfortunately.
In addition to that, it upset all of our stomachs. However, I cannot fully tell if it was from how it was made, or if it was because of how our bodies react. Personally, I have never had an issue with coffee like this before, but I would not get that again just to be sure.
Overall, this place is not bad, and I would like to give it more of a shot—although I am somewhat...
Read moreFirst of all, I go here A LOT! I have been to many locations, but this one is closest to my house so I go here most. And over all the quality of the products I buy are delicious, however the last 3 times I have been in, my order has been messed up or not made how it should be. The first couple times I let it go. There are usually two girls I see working behind the counter. Sometimes they're there at the same time, sometimes they are working different shifts. One of the girls always get my order right, drinks are made the way the style of drink is supposed to be made and so on. Great service from her!! However, with the other girl, there is ALWAYS something wrong with my order. It's not how I ordered it, it's not made the way the style of drink is supposed to be made, or something is missing from my order, or its not what I ordered at all. She's NEVER rude, but there is always something wrong with my order. I dont know if she has been trained properly, or what is going on. But it has made me not come in as often. I hate to be THAT person, but I'd just like for what I want to be correct. I have worked 11 1/2 years in food, so I know how it goes, I get it. But when there is such inconsistency with my order, especially with the same person, it gets annoying and I hate dealing with it. I tried to let it go, but after my latest visit, I'm considering just going somewhere else. I'm not sure if I'll be back unless...
Read moreThis was once a place I took my husband and friends regularly, but after tonight it is unlikely we will be back. I accidentally left my purse, as I set it off to the side and I usually do not carry this bigger one I was carrying. I realized my mistake only about 15-20 minutes after we left. I called the place, and there was no answer. I called again, and a young man answered. I asked if they had seen it, and he said no. I kindly asked if they could look around quickly, and he said he could. He also asked for my number, but as I was giving it to him, he hung up on me without warning. I rushed to the cafe, not wanting to call again and upset them, as all my important belongings were in their hands. I got there, and my large purse was sitting on the table in plain view. If a person took a quick glance from the register area, they could easily spot it with my description. I was glad to have found it. I will admit, they were very busy, but the man who had helped us at the register previously (he had also seen my purse) was also only five feet away from the area when I had gotten there. So even if he was on the lookout, he would have found it since it took me 15 minutes to get to the cafe. I am appalled by this service, and I am sorry that you all were so busy, but that is not an excuse for this poor customer service. It saddens me that...
