The menu leans on the pricier side but the drink cup portions are huge in comparison to other matcha places in Sac. - Boracay Breeze matcha ($9, rating: 8/10), matcha with blue spirulina, salted foam/cream and topped with real coconut flakes. Definitely on the sweeter side and was a little hard to finish but that's on me for forgetting to ask for sugar adjustment. - Earth Harmony matcha ($12, rating: 7/10), ube matcha with ube ice cream. More of a dessert than a drinkable matcha as you mostly taste ube, but my friend enjoyed it still! - Sesame nori fries, ($9, rating: 7/10) was hoping this flavor option would be more savory as I'm not a cheese fan and didn't want just plain fries. The fries seemed to be coated with a honey or something sweet. It's in one of the less busy strip malls off Sunrise so there's plenty of easy parking. I appreciate 4estea being open in Rancho as there's not as many Southeast Asian spots on this side of town, especially with an extensive menu like theirs. Unfortunately they don't have WiFi, but it would make a great study spot otherwise. I'd come back to try some other drinks and perhaps their Filipino rice bowl options.
Randomly stopped by this little spot in the plaza during lunch, and I'm so glad I did! This tiny, cute place is amazing. The employee (or possibly the owner) was so friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Adobo with rice and a Mango Sago drink, and I absolutely loved it! I was hoping to try the Sinigang, but they didn't have it available. He mentioned they may have it when winter comes, so I'll definitely be back to try it. The place was clean, the service was friendly and helpful, and the food was really good. I would 100% come back!
Needed a refreshing drink on a hot day and found this place. It's such a cute and welcoming vibe! I'll definitely be back to try a different drink if I'm in the area again.
Finally came back since my friend has been wanting to try this place! They added some new drinks on the menu such as a lavender matcha drink. Since I got their regular matcha latte last time, I got the lavender matcha this time. I also got their fried tofu bites with sweet nori since I enjoyed those last time and also their chicken inasal bowl. The chicken inasal bowl was a bit pricey but so worth it given the portion size of the bowl. The chicken was well seasoned and the amount of rice and chicken they add in the bowl is so much that there will definitely be leftovers.
This is another spot that's been on my list to visit, and I finally made time to drive out and try it. It's a bit out of the way for me, but well worth it if you're in the area or passing through. There's plenty of parking in their lot and there were other businesses in the plaza. I was greeted right away and the team here was really friendly. There were some items that weren't available, but they let me know about some favorites and specials. I wanted to order everything but ended up getting the Longsilog ($16.99), Palabok ($14.98), Pork Lumpia ($6.49), Golden Calamansi drink ($6.88), Muscat Verde drink ($6.68), and the Turon Matcha Latte ($11.32). It took a but for everything to be ready, but they packed it up nicely for my to-go order and I was on my way. The food didn't make it far, I had to try the lumpia right away while it was fresh and crispy and it was delicious. Exactly what I'm looking for in pork lumpia. I would order this anytime I visit. Once I got to my destination I tried the rest of the items. For some reason the straws did not want to puncture the plastic lids on the drinks so I had to puncture it with my keys- it was a bit comical trying to puncture the drink top with the straw and just destroying the straws... luckily I managed in the end. The drinks were very refreshing and perfect for our hot summer days. I gifted the Turon Matcha Latte to someone else who said it was sweet but good. I liked the Longsilog a lot, the sausages were delicious, juicy with a hint of sweetness, and the eggs were perfectly cooked. I wish the rice had a stronger garlic flavor- it's one of my favorite parts of the filipino plate meals. The Pancit Palabok was tasty and I liked the shrimp and eggs on top. After trying this though, I think I prefer Pancit Bihon, although the sauciness of the palabok would be great when you're looking for something savory and comforting. I'll definitely continue exploring the menu and I'm excited for my next visit.
Its been a while since i've been here and they have more varieties of menu now compared before. Love all their filipino rice bowls. The drinks are all so good specially the calamansi. Very refreshing! Will go back here again to try their other tusok tusok. The place is a little bit small but still a very nice cozy place.
As a Filipino, I'm so proud to see a place that sells such authentic Filipino drinks and street food. So lucky to live near this place! I've tried a lot of drinks in the menu and it's so nostalgic. Every drink takes me back to the Philippines! Very well done in perfecting the menu! I come here almost every week y'all. If I can't, I always ask my family to buy/bring me back some halo halo or pandan drink! I really love the qwek qwek and fish ball! The calamansi and melon drinks are my go-to if I wanted something light and refreshing. The staff are the friendliest!! They always have such a welcoming aura. I love to see all of the Tita and Tito tambay here!
What I got: Drinks/Desserts Halo-Halo Turon Matcha Mango Sago Banana Latte Snacks Kwek-Kwek Sesame Nori Fries Eggrolls Letchon Kawali Rice Bowl I love this Filipino cafe! They have soo many fun,Filipino inspired with a modern twist drinks. I'm soo glad I got to try this place is rancho Cordova ca, definitely made me miss home(Philippines). Eveything tastes soo yummy. Soo many options to choose from drinks, to desserts, I really love the halo halo, and the mango sago! The food soo good! Especially the letchon kawali rice bowl and the Filipino snacks soo nostalgic. I highly recommend this place is you're craving for some Filipino drinks, snacks and some food! The ambiance is cute, plenty of seating. This place gets really packed and popular! The service is amazing! I met the owner he's really sweet and all the staff are really friendly! As a Filipino I wish for this place to get more customers as they definitely deserved it.
Came to support my peeps (Filipino) celebrating their 1 year anniversary in business! They had free pancit bihon for everyone, karaoke all day, a photo op, and other lil food samples and surprises for the party. It was our first time, definitely not our last. We were greeted by the friendly owner and just like walking into any Filipino party/household, she offered us the free food right away! There was a food/snack menu on the counter with a couple of the items sold out or unavailable at that moment. I ordered the halo halo espesyal, chicken inasal, and the golden calamansi drink. The halo halo was layered with all the usual "mix mix" ingredients, and topped with a big scoop of soft and creamy ube ice cream. It was delicious! The chicken inasal was a good portion, served with rice, a side of cucumber, tomato, onion, and a vinegar dip. So good and comforting. My husband liked his calamansi drink. It was tart and refreshing. I loved our first visit to 4estea, and can't wait to try more food and drinks on our next visit. Happy 1st Anniversary! Wishing you much success and several more years in business! Mabuhay!
I saw this place on Instagram and I've been wanting to try this place! Came here with a friend on a Saturday evening. There a lot of parking in front. The store is a little small but cutely decorated. I was sad to find out that the lechon was not available cuz I was really craving crispy pork belly. I ordered the sisig bowl ($17.96) and the matcha latte ($8.55). Had to wait about 10-15 mins for the food. Matcha latte was good and creamy. It came in a big cup. I've only had sisig once another time. I wasn't a big fan and I thought I could try again to change my mind, but it was still mid for me. I definitely would come back to try the other Matcha drinks because I think the Matcha was actually really good. My friend got the chicken and it was delicious. She also got the sweet tofu bites and that was actually so good. I wish I ordered myself some. This place is definitely good for Rancho Cordova but I do think it's on the pricey side.
This was my first time here and I was greeted by the owner who was very genuine and friendly. I have been looking for some good Filipino places in the Rancho Cordova area and when I came across 4estea, it made me so excited. I ordered the Sunrise Blvd Fruit Tea and added boba pearls and the Taro Milk Tea. For food, I ordered the Sisig silog and the Pancit Palabok. It was soo yummy and I definitely will be back again. Such a lovely little place off Sunrise with great boba drinks and amazing food. I definitely recommend!
We came here for the first time as we heard that it's owned by some nice people my parents know. We brought my parents here for lunch after attending mass and to celebrate my dad's birthday (he loves Filipino food). We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of Filipino desserts they have and other lunch options. We ordered a plethora of items from the silogs, 2 pancit molos, hubby ordered the palabok and parents got the cold desserts. I ordered one of my faves, the Taho! Kuya Fred was kind enough to give us complimentary fish balls on the house. Everything was tasty, wish they had a water station available! Prices are on the higher end, the drinks were around $10+ and up. I look forward to coming back again and trying other items! Great hospitality and customer service.
So great to have a Boba place in the neighborhood. The staff is very friendly. The brown sugar milk tea with Boba at 100% sweetness was perfect. We came around noon on a weekday and we're happy to see this business busy!

Yay! Thank you Rachelle for taking your time to leave us a review. We…
Stopped by this cute café in Rancho Cordova on our way to an engagement party in Roseville, and I'm so glad we did! I originally came because I kept reading all the glowing reviews about their matcha latte, and I was also intrigued by their Filipino-inspired drinks. My husband went with the vanilla latte, while I ordered the matcha latte. I would've loved to try one of their flavored matchas, but unfortunately I failed my gestational diabetes test by one point, so I had to keep it simple this time. We arrived right when they opened and were greeted by one of the owners, Freddy, who was so friendly and welcoming. We also got to meet Kate, and you can really tell how much passion they both have for their business. It's always nice to visit a small business where the owners are genuinely excited about what they're creating. The matcha was exactly what I was hoping for. I could immediately tell they use very high-quality matcha. It was creamy, smooth, and delicious. I opted for whole milk and 50% sweetness, which was perfect for me since that's usually how I order my matcha at boba shops. I also really appreciated that the sweetness didn't overpower the matcha flavor. My husband really enjoyed his vanilla latte as well. The café itself is super cute and has plenty of seating, so it would be a great spot to hang out, catch up with a friend, or get some work done. I'd definitely love to come back and try some of their other Filipino-inspired drinks the next time I'm in the area. Such a cute find, and I'm glad we made the stop! read more
I wanted to try this place for sometime, and I did. Five stars all the way for the food, I'm taking off one star for the service. I go in, nothing fancy, but the place is clean, and the people were friendly. I didn't know what it is when I walked in, but it's Filipino food! I love Filipino food. I decided to start with the chicken inasal. Grilled chicken with Filipino, spices, vinegar, lemongrass, and rice. He asked me if I would like the vinegar on the side, and I said yes. I put about half of the vinegar on my food, and it was perfect. The chicken was moist, tender, and flavorful, the lemongrass was just the right texture, and I the rice. I think it was Jasmine Rice. I'm not positive, , but it did have a good flavor. I only made it through half the Dish and the other half came home for dinner. I wanted to try one of their teas, so I tried the pandan milk tea with Boba pearls , and it was very good. It had a nutty, slightly vanilla flavor, and there was a little bit of a coconut taste to it too. He asked me what I wanted for my level of sweetness. Since I hadn't had it before, I asked him to suggest, and he said it try it with 75% sweetness. It was perfect. The price for everything were reasonable. The only reason I'm taking off a star, was because of the service. There was only one other person in the restaurant, and it took almost 20 minutes to get my main dish. When I went up to order the tea after my meal, I had to say "hello?" three different times before somebody finally came to the counter. Then, it almost took another 10 minutes to get my tea. The lady did apologize, but 10 minutes? The food is so good, I will definitely come back. I want to try those Ube and cheese lumpia Now those sound good. Next time, I will see if they could do phone orders... They are on DoorDash, but of course, DoorDash charges extra to take out their "cut". I will be back. Thank you. read more

I went here on my lunch break in between shifts and was just craving filipino food. I feel like there arent many filipino foods spots around here so when i saw this i was really excited. I tried the turon matcha and it was really good but definitely soooo filling, I didnt expect it to be a whole dessert vibe. I had to share with my brother. I also got the sisig and i think it was pretty good. obviously nothing can ever beat when my family makes it at home but this wasnt really good and def hit my craving! i will be returning! i also like how many tables there are so I think it would be a cool place to study and eat or just hangout with friends. read more
4estea is such a wonderful addition to the area -- finally, a spot offering authentic Filipino snacks near Sunrise! It's a small place, but the moment you walk in, the cozy ambience and forestry-style décor make you feel right at home. You can tell it's a small start-up business built with passion, and I truly appreciate being able to support our own community and enjoy flavors that remind me of the Philippines. The food brought back so many memories. The ube champorado with salted fish was absolutely delicious -- warm, creamy, and perfectly balanced. It had that comforting, nostalgic taste that instantly brought me back to mornings in the Philippines. The kwek-kwek was another highlight: flavorful, freshly made, and so satisfying. The sauces, especially the vinegar and the sweet sauce, tasted exactly like the ones we grew up with. One bite and it felt like being transported straight back home. The arroz caldo was decent, though it could use a bit more meat and seasoning for our taste -- it leaned on the bland side. The chicken inasal had a strong ginger and garlic profile, which wasn't quite the traditional flavor you'd get in the Philippines, but it was still good in its own unique way. It's not the exact "home" taste, but you can tell they're putting effort and heart into their dishes, and that means a lot. Staff here are friendly, patient, and attentive, which made the experience even better. You can feel the hospitality and warmth -- something that's such a big part of Filipino culture. read more

We stopped by, intrigued by the Filipino food offerings and bubble tea/matcha offerings. Everything was GREAT. I loved the matcha lavender drink and it tasted very similar to the one at Starbucks, only better. The service was also top notch even though we arrived late at night. I'm certain the matcha wasn't ceremonial grade, but it was still quite good and I'd definitely come back for it again. The adobo with quail eggs was also really good. read more
In a nutshell; Great drinks to go, food is ok, pretty neat place. Not the biggest establishment , so there can be times when youre sitting down you could be literally next to the line, still, a lot of good drink choices that may stand out compared to a typical boba shop, it's also very well made. The food I've tried was rather underwhelming though for the price it's offered so Id say stick to the drinks. Still the lady at the desk was friendly and accommodating. Lots of parking around. Overall a nice spot but would rather have their drinks to go. read more

OKAY 4ESTEA!!!! Honestly, I didn't think much about this place before I came. I had it on my list but I'm happy I was able to try it! Inside is super well decorated & the service was really good! I was excited for the menu and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the Mango Lush drink and it was I'm not a fan of green tea but the cashier told me to increase the sweetness and that should help. OMG I didn't realize I've been drinking green tea wrong this whole time lol. I came in with a larger group of 6, and they forgot one of our drinks but they were quick to correct it. I'm excited to come back here. I wish they were closer to where I live lol. read more

!!!!! PSA to the Filipinos of the Sacramento area: you have to try the buko pandan halo-halo!! Maybe I'm just overly biased because I'm a big pandan flavoring fan, but this halo-halo is sooo goooood lol. Super bold pandan taste as there is no skimping on the silky pandan ice cream. Nice added texture from the jelly and the pinipig. The shredded cheese on top is *chef's kiss.* It balances the sweet drink with some saltiness (same functionality as the shredded cheese on top of ensaymada, IYKYK). As for other things that I tried here, the lychee ka! is alright; tastes pretty much like milk mixed with lychee juice drained from a lychee fruit can (a tad too sweet for me because of the syrupy taste). Average tofu bites with sriracha mayo dipping sauce. The banana turonitos are very cute lol miniature turon pieces that actually quite pack a punch in banana taste (so flavorful that I didn't even really need the accompanying brown sugar langka dipping sauce). Small and clean interior. Ample parking in this rather quiet plaza off of Sunrise Blvd. read more
Easy five stars. This new Filipino-inspired boba shop, which opened in May, has quickly become a standout spot in town. The menu offers a great variety of milk teas, fruit teas, and bobas, along with an impressive selection of halo-halo--some of the best I've tried anywhere. Each version is thoughtfully made and full of flavor. In addition to drinks and desserts, the food menu features delicious fried favorites such as lumpia, chicken wings, and french fries. Everything is prepared with quality ingredients and served fresh, making it a perfect place for both sweet treats and savory bites. The shop is run by a young couple whose friendliness and dedication create a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Their hours are also very convenient--open until 9 pm most days and extended until 11 pm on Saturdays and Sundays (closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Overall, it's a simple concept executed very well: excellent flavors, warm service, and a comfortable space. A place definitely worth supporting--they are here to stay! read more

Thank you, Ken, for taking the time to share such a thoughtful…
Got some refreshers after playing golf and this place is exactly what we need. Super friendly staff and very attentive. We ordered the Mango slush and buko pandan sago drink. It's so good and we were able to modify the sugar to keep the calorie intake which I love. Also they have milk substitute. I'm glad their hours are longer now and now I know where to go this summer to get some great food, desserts and drink. read more
Today was my 2nd visit since they were first fairly newly opened. After my first visit I wanted to wait till I came again before doing a review because I ordered drink for others instead of myself. However, I did ask how the drinks were for those I bought it for. I will say the drinks were mid/bland at the time & only the matcha latte was given a good review. I remember purchasing a fruit tea & a mango sago. Fruit tea was watered down and mango sago was eh.. Not to mention, they are SLOW! I can see they would get busy with a flow of customers coming in but they are lacking a swift service. This second visit I would have to say the same slow service. When arrived there was another couple in front of us. They seemed to have been waiting a bit for an employee to come out to take their orders. Idk how many workers were working in the back but I've had to at least seen 3 for the amount of time I waited for 1 singular drink. Really not sure how things are being ran back there?? But definitely my biggest complaint has to be they are slow. If they moved a little more fast I would have an overall better experience. I waited 15 mins for 1 drink. There was the couple before me who did order 2 snack items & drink so I get the wait but still... what???? I been elsewhere where snacks would normally take longer but at least drinks are being pushed out first for quick service & customer satisfaction on wait times. Today I ordered a matcha haze. Matcha was incredibly yummy! It was def on the stronger side & a fine gritty texture, if you're into that. Perhaps the matcha could be mixed more to not have the texture with the aftertaste. It wasn't too sweet but the lavender foam placed on top was where the sweetness. Good balance esp with it being strong matcha taste. Workers are lovely though! They will walk out with your drink & hand it to you personally than the traditional counter area where they call out your name & hand you off. read more
Charming Boba Tea place in Rancho Cordova that we recently visited and were awed by its cute and quaint aesthetics. Run by Kate and hubby, this place gets busy especially in the summer time. We tried the Turon Matcha Latte and it was absolute perfection. We also ordered the Longsilog Bowl and the Chicken Inasal Bowl and they were delicious and bursting with flavor. Ordered some Taro Milk Tea and Mango Sago to take home to try it out. This place is a hidden gem for sure. Come check them out, you won't be disappointed. read more
I was so excited to try this place, but was disappointed by their drinks. :/ Our drinks were SO extremely sweet that we could not taste any flavor other than sweetener. We ordered the mango sago and house milk tea with coffee jelly. I usually like my boba drinks in the 50-75% sweet range. I ordered my house milk tea as 50% sweet and the drink literally tasted like 150% sweet!!! I couldn't drink it at all and had to throw it away. They put a generous amount of coffee jelly/toppings, so I would say less topping if you don't like too much. My grandma also said her halo halo was too sweet. :( In her words: "Masyadong matamis!!!" On the bright side, the snacks were good. In particular, the fish balls and the sauce were very nostalgic of my trips to the Philippines when I was younger. Also, the plain french fries were perfectly crispy and salted. We came on a sunny Saturday afternoon and we didn't wait very long for our drinks and food. It came out pretty fast, probably within 20 minutes for 4 drinks and 2 food items. They have an expansive drink menu that made me excited to come back again to try more. However, I probably wouldn't come back here, but do think it was worth a try. read more

4estea Hits the Spot with Halo Halo and Longsilog Bowl Stopped by 4estea and left impressed. This cozy spot nails Filipino flavors with a fun twist. The Halo Halo is outstanding--layered with sweet beans, fruits, jellies, ube ice cream, leche flan, and crunchy pinipig. Refreshing, not too sweet, and packed with perfect textures in every bite. One of the best I've had. Paired perfectly with the Longsilog bowl: flavorful sweet longanisa sausage over garlic rice with sunny-side-up eggs. Hearty portion, bold yet balanced flavors, and super satisfying. Friendly service, fair prices, and generous portions. If you're craving authentic-yet-elevated Filipino eats in the Rancho Cordova area, 4estea delivers. Highly recommend--5/5! I'll be back soon. read more
SOS. I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT THE TURON MATCHA LATTE. Super sweet-how I like it. I recommend skipping the turon flakes on top unless you plan to eat them immediately. I let them soggy and had to scoop them out. Otherwise such a good matcha! Basically a caramelized banana matcha. The worker who took my order was so sweet. I love their energy. Plenty of seating on a Sunday evening. Definitely coming back to try all their filipino snacks and halo halo! read more

While in Rancho we had to stop by 4estea and check them out! Located in a big strip mall by Grocery Outlet, it's super easy to find and there's a ton of parking! It's a smaller shop but there's actually a lot of seating. It's designed nice! We were immediately greeted by a guy working. He was super busy working on orders which gave us time to look over the menu. My youngest begged for French Fries. It came with a dipping sauce and we asked for a side of catsup. They were delish. My oldest ordered the Matcha Latte. She said it was creamy and definitely quality!!!!! I ordered the Yema Latte (made with a Filipino custard). I've never had a Filipino coffee before so I was super excited! It didn't disappoint!!!! I can't wait to go back and get another one! Only wish it was closer! read more

Updates since my last visit: - they updated the signage hanging outside/above the door in the walkway (yay!). - some slight menu changes, like popping boba is no longer included as a topping in the Sunrise Blvd drink, while the price increased (only 5 cents, but wtheck..get less, pay more). - mango sago comes in a smaller cup, but $0.25 more. Originally it came in the tall skinny cup, but now a shorter cup. How is so much shrink-flation already happening :'( ?! Also, it's way too sweet now. Before it was refreshing, now I'm struggling to drink it (like trying to drink condensed milk or something). Much less sago as well. It went from crave-worthy to extremely disappointing. - they still need to hire more people..at least to take orders so they can focus on filling the orders. I tried to call in an order, was told I needed to be put on hold for 5 min but it ended up being almost 15 min and I got there before anyone even picked back up. So, I just ordered in person. Was told it would be ~15 min, more like 20+ but it was honestly faster than I expected. It appears they had two new people helping in the back, but one more to stay up front would be ideal. - I still never got a receipt.. but other people did. Idk why they always forget to give me a receipt... - finally got to try some food items: - tofu bites ($7.89): I love salt and pepper tofu, so I like to try it whenever I see it on the menu. The tofu itself is flavorless, definitely could use some salt. It's also a bit burnt tasting, luckily I like my food extra crispy. It's decent with the sweet chili sauce and has a nice crunch, but if you don't like sweet chili sauce then don't get the tofu. - longsilog (~$15): surprisingly larger portion than expected; could be shared between 2 people. 4 longanisa, 2 eggs, rice, and chopped up tomato. Garlic rice lacked flavor, but longanisa was good. I'm not used to it including tomato, so that was kinda weird to me. I wish they offered a half portion. Overall, not happy with already increased prices and still very slow service. Annddd, since the mango sago changed (for the worse), I'm def in no rush to come back. I'd only come back to redeem some of the deals on the stamp card thing I got from them, but I hope they change the mango sago back to the original recipe they had. read more

Love their mission and menu! It's cozy and relaxing with the light natural wood and greenery. They serve Filipino classics and some with a twist that can even impress the toughest critics... Pinoy Titos (Uncles) and Titas (aunties) IYKYK TURON MATCHA LATTE: Inspired by the dessert the "banana lumpia" that includes jackfruit with sugar caramelized due to the frying. This was not overly sweet and was perfectly balanced definitely captured the essence of the turon. The toppings weren't consistent from when I went on Friday to Sunday but maybe that was because they already had this special this week and was maybe running low? YEMA LATTE The coffee flavor was very strong and the yema flavor was there but light. Yema is similar to butterscotch and imo a difficult flavor but kudos because I feel like I haven't seen a latte like this anywhere else. HALO-HALO ESPESYAL It had all the works and I like how the ube halaya was along the cup and that the leche flan was at the bottom of the cup when these ingredients are typically at the top. KWEK-KWEK Brought me back to my days when I was in the Philippines for school. It was yummy and pretty authentic and the sauce was good. Just wish there was also some suka (vinegar) as well. So glad we have a place like this in the Sacramento region and even more glad that I don't have to go to south sac or Elk Grove to get these familar flavors. ** Check em out even if your aren't familar with Filipino food/drinks the super nice staff will surely help you. Will def be coming back! (I mean the photos attached from 3 separate visits ) read more

Absolutely phenomenal - this hidden gem is the perfect spot for a delicious drink or quick bite. There's a lot that they offer, all handmade and prepared with great attention to detail. They have fruit based drinks, boba milk teas, coffee, blended fruit drinks, halo halo desserts, and much more! I look forward to coming here everytime with my family and to try something new. Interior is bright yet I love the wooden chairs and tables to bring the forest and tea theme together. The service is also extremely kind, generous, patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and wonderful all around. We are so lucky to have them here and we look forward to ever visit! read more

Hi Naz!…
pricey spot, but the turon matcha latte is so good. despite it being a bit grainy, the banana flavor is strong and they also added sweet flakes which adds a bit of a crunchy texture. as for the yema latte, it didn't have any yema flavor and the coffee wasn't that strong. read more
Glad to have more Philippino food options. The silogs are great for quick meals. Lunch, Brunch, etc. lots of drink options. Portion size is large. Quick service, freshly made food, delicious. It does open a little bit late in the day-12:00pm read more
Yay for a new Filipino owned tea shop! There aren't enough around here so it was really cool to see a lot of familiar Filipino drinks and flavors on the menu. We got to meet the owners too and they were so awesome, I want to come back and support their new venture as much as possible! It was so hard to choose from the specialty items! I picked the mango sago which was very creamy and refreshing. Sago was cooked perfectly. My husband's Yema coffee was also really good! You have to mix in the yema very well so you can get more of the flavor. If they can do a yema cream on top I bet it'll be even more flavorful! We also got to try the cantaloupe melon juice, which is a nice non-caffeinated option for our kids, but I also really liked it and can imagine enjoying it on a hot day! They have some snack food available but not everything yet since it's only soft opening. The lumpia was classic and so crispy on the outside. We also had their sweet nori fries which were my favorite!! It's sweet from the drizzle on top and savory from the sprinkled nori seaweed. They are planning to have silog rice plates soon so we will definitely be back for that. The interior is very nicely decorated! It's small but they made the most of the space and there are lots of tables and seats. Hoping for lots of success here at 4estea! They are near a Korean bbq spot so I can see lots of people wanting to come over after eating! read more
Came here for post kbbq so my review is based on the desserts my group ordered. Sago at Gulaman Americano - it was very sweet. Premade so we couldn't control the sweetness. They did offer to give us an extra shot of espresso to help balance it out but we respectfully decline. Still good nonetheless. Halo-Halo - was packed full of ingredients! The flan was at the bottom so I had to really mix to get what I wanted. Lol The ube jam added a nice texture and surprisingly helped balance out the sweetness. The ube ice cream hit. I ate it first. It was a good balance of ice, milk and ingredients. I'll be back for more esp. when the temps rise. Buko Pandan Halo-Halo - it was refreshing and definitely has a unique flavor that I'm sure most people aren't too familiar with. We really liked it. Wish there was more cheese to help balance out the sweetness. We finished this no problem. Overall the three desserts were good. It would be great to be able to control the sweetness somehow - they were all three really really sweet. Thankful they opened up in Rancho. It'll now be my go to spot for dessert post KBBQ at Gangnam. The cafe is small. The interior is nice - well designed. I didn't notice any bathrooms so keep that in mind when visiting. I only tried desserts this time but I'll def be back for their savory items. I have my eyes on the silogs! read more

I really wanted to like this place because I always try to support Filipino businesses, but overall I left pretty disappointed mainly because of the pricing and portions. The sisig bowl was a 1/5 for me. It was almost $20 for a small bowl and it didn't really taste like sisig. It leaned more toward bopis and just didn't match what I was expecting. The portion size also didn't feel worth the cost at all. The pandan sago was a 4/5. It was on the sweeter side but still good and enjoyable. The calamansi drink was a 2/5. I even ordered it with 100% sugar but it still didn't really taste like calamansi to me. The mango sago was good, but also a bit too sweet for my preference. Overall I like the idea of supporting the business and the menu has potential, but I personally can't justify the pricing. Almost every drink is close to $10 and the portions don't really match what you're paying for read more
