The…read morematcha has such a beautiful, vibrant green color, and you can really see the quality of the ceremonial-grade matcha. The banana pudding was such a nice touch and blended surprisingly well with the matcha. You can't see much of it in the photo because it sinks to the bottom, but they were very generous with the amount. Every sip had a nice balance of matcha and banana without being overly sweet. The atmosphere is also super relaxing and welcoming. The baristas were so sweet and friendly, and everyone had such warm, welcoming smiles. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and great service. This has easily become one of my favorite spots!

I rated 3 stars because I was a bit disappointed on the amount that was actually given as well as the taste. I understand products can vary from photos but the pudding in my order was significantlyyyy smaller than anticipated. It was also more of the crumble cookie than pudding, so I kept drinking mushy bits of the topping The banana flavor was also more of a whiff than a punch. For other matcha enthusiasts that use it as a measure of authenticity, I do think the color is reassuring. As for the Sea-salt Japanese Brown Rice tea, I'm saving it for later before work! And will update when I try. I do like the atmosphere, and see it as a great spot to work from.

I've been giving this place chance after chance after new ownership and it's simply not what it used to be. Sometimes you don't have to keep up with trends and modernize a shop. Especially when you already had a good menu with good flavors. Now drinks lack flavor every once in a while, which I despise because a shop that sells drinks, it should have consistency in flavors.

We got the cookies n' cream bingsoo!! I love bingsoo!! It was so good!!! I need to try all the flavors!! I need a second person tho, it's a lot! I should've stopped there, but then I got macarons and a slice of cake. The macarons I got were the Nutella boba and caramel monkey. The caramel monkey was my favorite because it was super soft, fresh, and the cookie had great flavor. The Dubai cake was good but really rich. I definitely need milk or tea with this one. Service is good. It was pretty empty when we came here. I love this place, but I waste a lot of money here and I'm on a diet. That's the only reason why I haven't been here in a long time. I'm pretty addicted to this place.

I wouldn't typically leave a review like this, but our visit was far below what we expected. My…read morewife, children, and I stopped in last Thursday evening to try the bubble tea, and unfortunately the customer service was very poor. The fried chicken itself was good, and the drinks were decent, but the overall experience was overshadowed by the staff's attitude. We asked one girl what she recommend to which she simply replied I don't know and the other one seemed irritated by our questions. This was our first visit, yet they didn't seem interested in helping us! Neither was particularly welcoming or friendly. To make matters worse, we overheard the employees' conversations which included lots of profanity and complaining about work, not a family friendly experience! It's disappointing because the products themselves were enjoyable, but the poor customer service made it difficult to enjoy the overall experience. 2 stars, completely unprofessional.

I treated myself to a lavender latte during my visit to power me through a few hours of work while waiting for my car to be serviced nearby. The latte was delicious, but a little too sweet for my taste. I wish there was an option to make it less sweet. It's possible that it was an option, but I didn't know about it. If you like the taste of coffee to come out more when enjoying an espresso drink, the lavender latte may be too sweet to your liking. The ambiance is perfect for a work day or even a intimate conversation with a friend.

We tried the Campfire Mocha and the Banana Crumble Latte. The mocha was pretty sweet but I love a sweet coffee. They were out of cold foam unfortunately. The Banana Crumble Latte tasted more like just a sweet coffee. The banana was very subtle and we couldn't taste it much. I also don't think they put graham cracker crumble on top so maybe they were out of that too. If I came back I would probably try a different one.

Recently, I found myself in San Marcos and decided to give it another shot at this location and I'm so glad I did! I've been back a few times now, and every visit has been great. The shop is in a convenient shopping center with plenty of parking, which is always a plus. It's a small, cozy spot with a really cute setup. Each time I've gone, it's been the same person working, and he's always incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. I've tried a few different coffee drinks, and every single one has been delicious although the Mazapan Latte is my absolute favorite! Definitely a must try. The combination of great service and consistently amazing coffee is exactly why I keep coming back. Definitely worth checking out and making the drive since I'm in Carlsbad.

It mixes industrial and classic touches with cozy leather booths, stylish décor, and an open, lively energy that still feels relaxed. It's polished enough for a special occasion but comfortable enough to linger over one more coffee, think business casual vibes. If the weather's nice, the patio is a great option too. The real MVP was our server, Katelynn. She handled all 8 of us by herself the entire time and never missed a beat. Our drinks were always fresh, and she stayed a step ahead of the table. Great solo performance. I split two entrées with my bro, which I highly recommend if you can't decide: California Burrito: Very savory, with creative sauces that set it apart from the usual breakfast burrito. Eggs Benedict: Well put together with quality ingredients. It's a classic done right. Potatoes: Fresh and delicious. I don't normally care for breakfast potatoes, and these still won me over. We left full, happy, and already planning a return trip. Bonus: The Forum Carlsbad shops are right nearby if you want to walk it off afterward, which we did. Cheers!
