The mango pomelo sago is hands down one of the best drinks I've had all summer. I've genuinely been…read morecoming back to Urban Pearl almost every week specifically for this drink. It's refreshing, fruity, perfectly balanced, and the tapioca pearls make it even better. This is the kind of seasonal item that absolutely deserves a permanent spot on the menu. Please keep it year-round because I know I can't be the only one who would keep coming back for it!

I have to update this review, purely based on the seasonal drink creations that they curate and are…read moreso intentional about. The customer service is always an A+. Through and through I have always been greeted with a smile, no matter which employee is working. Including the owner, she is just a phenomenal human being. The inside is always clean and with the summer here, the A/C is always running. It makes this the perfect refuge for the 107° heat. Back to the seasonal menu!! What also stands out is the Mango Pomelo Sago. Being Filipino, I grew up around sago - it's a staple in many desserts. I wish I could describe how incredible this drink is. How fresh the fruit is and how refreshing it tastes. I am already getting FOMO for when they take it off their seasonal menu.

I can spot the differences right away, and Fresno is filled with these. Gong cha has the menu items I expect, made with the quality and adjustments that I expect. Great shop, friendly service, and enough space to hang out.

Finally tried Gong Cha and I totally get the hype! I'm always on the hunt for a good boba spot, and…read morethis one did not disappoint. My drink was creamy, refreshing, and had just the right amount of sweetness, and the boba had that perfect soft and chewy texture. I also love that you can customize your sweetness and ice level.

If you're planning to stay and work, I would recommend coming early because seating and outlets are limited. The majority of people coming in seemed to have takeout orders or were ordering to go. I tried the Tropical Sunset, and even the packaging added to the experience. It was thick, high quality, and felt very well thought out. The tea itself was flavorful and refreshing without being overwhelmingly sweet or tasting like artificial sweeteners. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this spot! I'll definitely be coming back to try their matcha!

Okome recently released their pumpkin drinks, so of course I had to try both the pumpkin matcha and…read morepumpkin coffee! They were both delicious and topped with a pumpkin pie cream that tasted just like the real thing. The pumpkin pie cream was the perfect seasonal touch, and I loved how well it paired with both the matcha and coffee. If you love pumpkin flavors, you definitely need to try these! Also they have plenty of seating to work or socialize with friends! It's great for groups or outings.

Coffee is delicious, you can practically taste the passion put into the beans. Iced "Nutty Nirvana"…read morewas sweet, so be mindful if that isnt your taste. Thankfully, I loved it. Pastries and crepes also look to die for, and I will be indulging in more when i come back again. Service is quick, friendly, and accomodating. Baristas seem happy to go out of their way to help patrons. I was here for a while getting some work done and it was nice to hear them helping people out. Ambiance is also very nice. Gives almost a loft-like feeling, and I can find myself coming in more often if i had lived closer. Came in for the first time and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, and as someone with less experience drinking coffee, I am looking forward to the next time I will be in the area. The owner Nishi has created a comforting, relaxing place to take a break from life, and the baristas do an amazing job executing on that vision.

My friend ordered a matcha latte, and I ordered a regular latte, and we ordered avocado toast to share. My friend's matcha was really grassy, like the quality of the matcha was not really good. (I am sure they would have remade her drink but she didn't ask) My latte was just ok, but the coffee had a smoky flavor I was not fond of. The avocado toast was ok, but I would ask to not have balsamic on it if I ever order it again. I prefer to taste the avocado. It was nice and quiet here, though, and an excellent place to be able to chat with friends or study.

Everything I tried was enjoyable, and I can definitely see myself coming back. One thing I really appreciated was how fast the service was. I didn't have to wait long, which is always a plus! The cafe itself was also really nice and clean, making it a pleasant place to stop by and grab a drink or something sweet. Overall, such a good experience! Between the matcha, pastries, quick service, and nice atmosphere, I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

Last time I just went for bakery items to go. This new review is for a dine-in experience…read more Place: Still clean and well-maintained. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and while there were people, it was much less busy than my last visit, which was around lunchtime on a weekday (aka rush hour!). There were beautiful displays of cakes, pastries, and other goodies, and the dining area is set up to accommodate both small and larger groups. You can also sit outside. I especially like the two benches by the entrance: they're a convenient spot to wait for your party or for your ride. There's also a water cooler inside where you can help yourself to water. Staff: Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! Two young ladies were behind the counter when we arrived, and one of them helped us. She was very friendly and helpful. Since this was my first time dining in, she handed me the menu and made some recommendations. During our meal, a gentleman came out from behind the counter and checked in with us about the food. Later, before leaving, he gave a friendly goodbye to everyone in the room. I'm guessing he was the owner, and if so, it was nice to see that personal touch. Food: Everything was really good! We had the chicken bowl and the salmon bowl. (You'll have to check the menu for their actual names!) I got to taste a piece of my friend's salmon, and that's what I'm getting next time. It tasted fresh and delicious, flavorful and perfectly cooked. My chicken was very good as well, and all the vegetables in my bowl were fresh and tasty. And good pastries are my weakness. They had an amazing selection! We got a chocolate pastry and a fruit tart for dessert, and both were just perfect. Now I have to go back and try something different each time. For science. Overall, this is a very nice place to come for breakfast, lunch, or simply coffee and a pastry. I really liked the ambiance. The space felt calm, spacious, and airy, and we were able to enjoy a nice, long conversation with friends without feeling rushed. I'll definitely be back!

The mix of…read morewarm colors, coffee chemistry artwork, vintage furniture, and modern coffee equipment makes the space feel creative and different from the usual coffee shop. I ordered a latte along with an almond pastry, and both were enjoyable. The coffee was nicely presented, and the pastry was a good pairing. They also have a solid selection of pour overs, beans, brewing equipment, and merchandise if you're really into coffee. The atmosphere was probably my favorite part. It feels like a place where you can slow down, enjoy your drink, read, or just hang out for a while. Overall, a very good local coffee shop with plenty of personality. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I took a lyft over and had a couple of pourovers here, and I was really surprised to find that they were solid. The roast profile seems to be somewhere between cinnamon and city, which was a pleasant surprise. The Ethiopia reminded me of some of my early roasts, and, while a bit underdeveloped for my taste, it had a lovely florality that was enjoyable enough that me and my mates ordered several bags from them. Anyway, if you're a specialty coffee aficionado in town and looking for a nice cup, I recommend giving them a chance!

The inside is quiet and relaxed, making it an ideal space if you're looking to study, read, or get some work done.
