The decor is cute and welcoming. I was greeted when I walked in and experienced great service from the workers. Looking at the menu, there's plenty of great options. Some interesting sounding ones were Popcorn Latte and Tiramisu Biscoff Latte. There's also a bunch of yummy matcha options. I ended up getting a small Thai tea with boba (50% sweet). I really enjoyed the Thai tea and I don't have much of a sweet tooth so it was nice to have that customization option. I will also note that the boba was great. It was cooked perfectly. Not too hard and not too soft! Overall 5/5 stars :)

On 5/3/2026 around 2:59 PM, we visited A Tea Thing and unfortunately, the experience was very…read moredisappointing. When we arrived, it was busy, so we sat and waited for the line to go down. Once there were only two parties left, we got in line. When we finally reached the counter, the clerk took a phone order instead of helping us. We were then told to scan a QR code to place our order because they needed to focus on making drinks. After waiting in line, this was frustrating and felt very disorganized. Overall, the customer service was the worst part of the experience. It felt like in-person customers were not a priority at all. This was my first time at this spot, and it left a bad impression. I don't think I will be returning.

There was a line out the door but once you actually get to order, the employees work fast. We snagged street parking but they have spaces around the back as well.

I don't like mate on its own but with fruit it's a smoky complex iced tea that's a delight with the caffeine I need to get my day going. The caffeine from mate feels better than coffee for me--I recommend trying this out if you're used to getting Starbucks or other coffee regularly! They will customize your drink to your liking. Also I love learning and getting a piece of Argentina here in the Valley. You can get that here with empanadas and other snacks. Service is so great that I'm reminded why we support local businesses and reminded what community means. I tip what I can and plan to support by coming back here. A comfy couch area plus tables for studying and working, catching up with friends, eating. And outdoor seating too. Lots of parking bc the Valley. And they have a punch card for frequent visits!

I had the Blue Shirley Temple and it was really good. Thoroughly enjoyed. They have board games. Arcade games. They have an outdoor patio that is a vibe. It is just a really nice area. Parking could be tricky BUT they are open later in the day so you can luck out with the parking as it is on a main street. The staff and the owners were super kind. I came here with my friend and he is there about daily so they knew him and knew what to order for me. Great space and great drinks. There's also a ton of health benefits in Kava.

We ordered the bouquet burrito and chilaquiles. Food came out fairly quickly, and they even package your food in a to-go box in case you have leftovers to take home. The burrito was huge, flavorful and generously filled. The chilaquiles were tasty as well. Overall, we were happy with our quick breakfast bite. There's a communal table along with other indoor seating plus some outdoor seating available too.

Cute vibe, but drinks and parking are hit-or-miss…read more This was our second time visiting, and while we like the atmosphere, there are a few things to keep in mind. Parking is a real struggle, very limited lot, so be prepared to circle around or park in the nearby residential area and walk. Drinks: I ordered the White Chocolate Lavender latte, sweet and floral, but my husband found it too sugary. He got the Black Heart latte, which he said was strong and bold, though I could barely taste anything in it (probably because my drink was so sweet, it killed my palate!). So maybe order based on your sweetness tolerance. Food: We shared a butter croissant, which was just okay, my husband called it "plain," and I'd agree. Nothing special. Seating: The inside was packed, but we managed to grab a spot at a long communal table. They do have a few outdoor seats too if you prefer fresh air. Overall, it's a cozy spot with a cool interior, but come with patience for parking and know your drink order might lean extreme one way or the other. We'll probably give it one more try with different drinks.

When i asked about my order i guess another person misheard their name and accidentally took my order (which happens) but after letting them know other people's orders were still sent out and similar to our order which was a beef tapa plate and Sean's burrito. An hour and 15 mins in I had to go up and ask for a refund because we had to go and I was told they just started my order and I saw the order on the end of the line. Personally I would've made the order who was waiting the longest first and have new orders wait a little more since they haven't waited as long as us, especially if the orders are very similar because everyone was getting the same plates and burritos

Beautiful presentation and good portions! It wasn't too sweet and it includes side of condensed milk. Tip: if you prefer less sweet do let them know so they can adjust.

Dropped by over the weekend to see this new and absolutely beautiful location. Parking lot is tiny and has specific ones for the other shops next door so do be aware of where you park! Not sure how strict they are. The classic logo up front, beautiful decor and smells as soon as you walk in, greeted by the loveliest staff and even got to see familiar faces like Liana (owner) and Salma (my favorite Barista). The layout is similar to their original location in Balboa so it felt like we were right at home. Menu is easy to read, love that it has descriptions and photos for a lot of the drinks. I stick to my usual: Small Iced Moody Latte (pistachio latte with strawberry cream top) and they perfect it every time. Perfect amount of sweetness with the strong taste of espresso. The Lee's Special is definitely another must try if you haven't had it before! If I am feeling like a sweeter drink kinda mood, I would get that. Drinks come out quick as well so you're not waiting long at all. Love this spot and can't wait to visit more if I'm in the area!! IG: @ammysalamii
