First off the cashier was super nice and attentive which is why I gave them 2 stars. I asked about the contents of the Bhan mi sandwich and was told it had paté. I said hold the paté I don't eat pork. So, I waited in my car and came back in and saw the other young woman was making my sandwich. I saw her spread the paté on the sandwich, then the other woman said something and then that woman scrapped the paté off the sandwich and put it back in the bin. I then saw her use the same utensil to get the mayonnaise and spread on the bread. I asked her what she just put back in the bin, she's like mayonnaise, I said no before that, she's like mayonnaise, I'm like no before that. I said was that the paté she like no it was mayonnaise. I said you put something back in the bin that looked like paté was that the paté because I'm allergic to pork so even if you scrapped it off I would still have an allergic reaction. She then said yes it was paté, I'll make you a new one. After that I thought ok, no problems now. Wrong! The chicken in the sandwich was at least a few days old. It's pretty disgusting. I removed all the chicken and ate the rest of the sandwich because I was starving and I figured I wasn't going to get anywhere with them by complaining. I've worked in the food industry and the rule of thumb is don't serve people food you wouldn't eat...
Read moreOn the way driving from Santa Rosa back to San Jose, we were craving milk tea so we pick this place because it has decent reviews but...
Food: huge disappointment. We order 2 drinks and both were like water-down milk tea and really heavily water-down. They were bland, not much flavor at all. It's like you're drinking water with a little bit of whatever flavor of the milktea is supposed to be. The texture of the bobas was okay but they wasn't sweet. The shop probably didn't "marinade" bobas in sugar long enough. It was $6.5 for a mill tea with boba. At first we thought it was a little bit cheaper than in San Jose because the boba was included but after taking the first sip, it turned out we just bought expensive flavored water.
Service: good. They are not super friendly but not rude. Only interact with them once during ordering.
Ambiance: it's a cute little boba place. I do like the way they decorate the store: pretty, has lots of light, small but spacious. There are not a lot of seatings so it's probably best you take it togo. No seating outside.

Read moreSo this place was difficult to find. I was visiting from Reno, NV and I was looking for a milk tea. When you first drive into the parking lot from Commerce you see a Baskin Robbins to your left, and a Subway to your right. The shop is to the left of the entrance of the Baskin Robbins. Its a small little shop, the employees are so friendly greeting me from the moment I stepped in, and giving me suggestions when I asked them what they'd recommend from their list of milk teas. Together with the tip the total came to about $7.00 for a regular. It wasn't sent busy when I stopped by around 7:00pm, and the wait time counting the time of having my order taken was probably no more than 3minutes.
Remember you can't drive up and park in front of it, you'd park in front of the Baskin Robbins, and then walk to the left of the Baskin Robbins doors around the building to access the thirstea shop doors. It's kind of weird because at night the walkway was dark, so you'd probably miss this shop of you weren't...
