Slightly sour, but fruity coffee. Overall, I enjoyed it. Good mouthfeel too. Good temperature, it wasn't too hot nor luke warm. MANGO MATCHA At first taste, it tasted more like guava. But it was indeed mango. But a fake mango flavor. The mango flavor was there, but could not taste the matcha. It wasn't bad, but I had better mango matchas elsewhere. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was okay. Not bad, but not great. Staff could smile more than just stare at you. Even say "Hello" or "Welcome" when you walk in the coffee shop. LOCATION Located in a small strip mall at Golden Springs Plaza. Parking is medium-sized for the amount of businesses here. I had no issues finding parking in front of the coffee shop, although more and more parking spots were being taken. AMBIANCE + SEATS The ambiance was relaxing. No loud music. Lots of people coming in and working on their laptops. Five small tables for two in the center. Along the wall there were bar seats for 19-20 people. There's a long communal table in the center for seats for 4-5 people. At the front and to the side, there were 3 tables for two. Outdoor tables for two right outside the cafe. Bathroom is outside of the cafe and you have to enter the other part of the building with a bathroom code to unlock. Will I visit again? Maybe if I'm in the area. But I'm in no rush to come back.

I did try the collab drinks and they are a bit pricey for the quantity, but I will try a regular drink next time. The pistachio padan chocolate drink was a bit overpowered by the pandan flavor, but it was okay. Staff was friendly and nice! I think they do different collaborations so will have to try a different one next time!

Yummy! 5 stars for the coffee and food alone…read more I absolutely loved the coffee and pastries. It's one of the best coffees I've ever had. I wanted to try all the desserts! I've been trying to go back but it's far from me. I honestly think the coffee was better than Dutch Bros and Tierra Mia.

I had the chance to FINALLY go to the closest Smoking Tiger to me. Which is really funny since I've…read morebeen to the Cerritos, MPK, and Whittier locations first. This one is just a Coffee Lab, so it doesn't have the extensive baked goods like the Cerritos location, but still has a decent selection towards the cashier area. Some refrigerated chubby cakes and slices, canned and bottled drinks, and then some pre-wrapped baked goods like bread, cookies, mochi, etc. They can warm it for you too I believe. With the increase of Smoking Tigers, I heard from my friend that also frequents these that they're cutting a lot from their menu, food and drink wise. My beloved choco mugwort, please return as a seasonal drink at least. Staff is super friendly and helpful. I was on the fence about ordering a limited seasonal Yakult cold brew style drink but feared that it was going to be more sour than a standard Yakult because of the cold brew and after explaining the flavor profile thoroughly, I opted for a safer drink that I've had before. Their banana milk latte. I'm a caffeine addict and this was a good pick me up. Not super strong and didn't zute me immediately, but this is perfect for those slow release caffeine people who like to sip on their drinks. Perfect banana milk taste after mixing and a perfect coffee for me, not too bitter or sour lol. There's outlets at the tables near the window and lots of places to sit down and hang out. Plenty of parking but it can get busy since a lot of people are in the plaza to go to 99 Ranch or the other businesses (restaurants, shopping, tea, etc.) but also everyone hates parking at the plaza across the street so they're parking here and walking over haha... It's insane this used to be a Diamond Bakery. They've existed since the 70's and 80's and there's only 2 left in existence (Vegas and MPK). Really makes you think of the passage of time. ANYWAYS, there's a point system if you sign up with your phone number and an app where you can access deals, order ahead of time, send gifts, and they have special days each month!

Amazing bread desserts. The filling is fluffy, not too sweet and the perfect texture. Would highly…read morerecommend it if you are looking for some bakery goods that's not too sweet. The two bread I got is Yuzu and Tiramisu and they were so delicious. The owner/staff is so nice too and gives out amazing recommendations. Next time I will have to try their drinks too.

Simplicity yet elegance are the words that describe this place…read more We actually stopped by to kill some time because of the bad traffic on our way home. Most orders are placed through the self-service kiosk, although you can also order at the counter--you just have to call the staff over since they're usually inside. I ordered the Matcha Kream Spanner, while my husband went with an Iced Americano. Both were really good! They also offer their signature "Cube" (toast block), which looks pretty interesting. Definitely adding that to my order for the next visit!

My all-time favorite drink spot! I've been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. My…read morego-to is the Osmanthus Citrus Refresher--it's so refreshing and always hits the spot. I've tried a lot of their other drinks too, and they're all delicious. At this point, I'm honestly just a hardcore Torotea fan. If you're visiting for the first time, I definitely recommend giving the Osmanthus Citrus Refresher a try! The shop is clean and inviting, and there's plenty of parking, making it an easy stop whenever you're craving a drink.

One of my favorite milk tea spots! Bummed at their recent price hike - one of my favorites the…read morepopcorn milk tea is now around $9... I tend to get their fruit teas like the calamansi oolong twist as their milk teas, albeit incredibly fragrant, are not as strong as I'd like after milk is added. The interior is very aesthetic although quite small- I was occasionally able to snag a spot to enjoy the drinks inside with friends. Service is friendly.

Dancong Oolong Milk Tea ($6.49)-- 70% as recommended was perfect for me! The tea strength is super…read morestrong (just how I like it) so the sugar pairs well with it. It's nice and not too milky, good tea to milk ratio, tea is fragrant. Some places for example if the tea is weak then it just tastes like sweet milk. Or it's like BARELYYY a bit of tea where you smell it but don't taste it. But here the oolong is pretty strong and the roast is nice so I thought it was good! They're open pretty late and there's some seating inside, some directly outside, and then even more out in a patio. Also at night people were just chatting and chillin around their cars so that's an option too since less cars driving around. There was a bunch of people when I went so I was expecting a pretty long wait. But maybe it was just 10 min or so? Soooo quick I was so surprised. Molly Tea for example is packed because of people waiting to order/waiting for their drink, but here people were just chillin and hanging out for the sake of hanging out. The drinks are quick!

Recommended by a friend, Chahalo has everything for everybody!…read more We arrived on a Sunday noon, and the place was bustling. Ordering is through one of two kiosks, or the cashier. Their merchandise (magnets, hair accessories. ..) is super cute. We ordered their milk tea flight, which included a jasmine milk tea, osmanthus milk tea, and a dark/black milk tea. We also got the lychee smoothie, oolong milk tea and the lemon kumquat tea. All our drinks were ordered at 50% sweetness. All drinks were a hit. The jasmine milk tea tastes very similar to a milk tea competitor that shares the same name scheme (Cha_ _ _). ChaHalo has good boba and more variety, though, which is a plus! Their lychee smoothie was perfectly sweet at 50%. The oolong milk tea had the perfect milk to tea ratio, and the lemon kumquat tea was refreshing. Out of the drinks in the flight, the jasmine milk tea was best, then osmanthus if you like the floral tea flavor, and lastely the dark milk tea, which wasn't anything special. There were a few small tables inside, and seating in their patio. Drinks came out quickly and service was efficient and friendly. We will be back!

The drink itself cannot even be considered milk tea because I am not sure if there is even tea added. The boba was stale and the mochi clumpy. The topping to milk ratio is as bad as you can see in the picture... This place used to make better drinks and provide better service. There are many other better options around the area.

Originating from Taiwan, this bubble tea shop is a must-try. I am a huge fan of their Osmanthus…read moreOolong Tea with Mango. It tastes crisp and refreshing and does not taste syrupy at all. Another amazing drink is the Cassia Black Tea with Mousse. The tea itself tastes robust and slightly malty, while the mousse adds a silky and creamy texture that enhances the drink. My husband especially likes the drinks from the Lemon Condensed Milk series. Each cup is freshly brewed to order and has a strong tea base, which is exactly how I like it. This particular location only has one ordering kiosk and only a couple of small tables. It is definitely more of a grab-and-go type of place. The premium tea taste and tea quality here are consistent with other locations I've been to. I like that we can see into the kitchen and watch the drinks being made. If there is a wait, it is all worth it!

I stopped by Chicha San Chen after hearing about its award-winning reputation, but unfortunately,…read morethe experience fell well short of the hype. The shop itself was clean and filled with a pleasant tea aroma that created a welcoming first impression. Service was average, with nothing particularly memorable about the visit. Considering the relatively small size of the drinks, paying over $8 per drink felt difficult to justify. **Green Tea with Boba: 2.5/5** For a tea shop renowned for its freshly brewed-to-order teas, this drink was surprisingly lackluster. It tasted noticeably watered down and had very little of the fresh, fragrant jasmine tea flavor I was expecting. The chewy boba was the highlight, offering a pleasant texture with just the right amount of sweetness, but it couldn't salvage an otherwise disappointing drink. **High Mountain Pouchong Tea: 1/5** This drink was an even bigger letdown. Like the green tea, it tasted diluted and lacked the floral depth and complexity that a high mountain pouchong tea should offer. An unusually artificial, creamy, sweet aftertaste also lingered after each sip, further detracting from the overall flavor. Overall, the drinks lacked the bold, distinctive tea flavor I'd expect from an award-winning tea house. Considering the premium prices and relatively small drink sizes, the quality ultimately didn't justify the cost. There are simply too many better bubble tea shops at this price point, and I don't see myself returning.
