Total GEM! This was…read moremy second time visiting Kudos Tea and Coffee, and it definitely won't be my last! I came back specifically for their hot Thai tea--it's only $3.50 for a generous, great-sized cup, and it is absolutely delicious. The gentleman at the counter is incredibly friendly and crafts every single drink with so much care. On my first visit, I ordered a cappuccino, a hazelnut latte, and a hot Thai tea. I actually got lucky that day because a previous customer had left a "pay it forward" in their menu; so one of my drinks was free! I made sure to pay it forward as well for the next person. I love that they encourage that kind of community vibe. Tip: They do have parking, but keep your eyes peeled because it's on a busy street and can be easy to miss. I highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

I told him I disliked boba, but he stated these were not tapioca pearls but mango juice poppers. I still left them out. And someone had paid my drink forward so I did not have to pay for my smoothie.

I've only been to this coffee shop twice, and unfortunately both visits left me with a…read moredisappointing impression. The first time, I was deciding between two drinks and asked the cashier which one she recommended. I went with her suggestion, but after trying it, I realized I really didn't like the taste. I politely asked if I could switch to a different drink, but was told no because of the store's policy. While I understand that policies exist, I later called the customer service number listed on their social media to confirm that this was indeed their policy. Instead of addressing my question, the person I spoke with seemed more concerned about asking, "How did you get this phone number?" That interaction felt unprofessional and dismissive. My second visit wasn't much better. My friend and I walked in, and the cashier didn't greet us or acknowledge that she'd be with us shortly. She was making another drink, looked over at us, then looked away, and we waited about five minutes without any acknowledgment. When the customer she was helping came up to pick up their drink, she took the time to have a brief conversation with them while we continued waiting to order. When she finally came over, there was no apology for the wait or even a simple "Hi, how are you?"--just, "What can I get you?" The coffee may be good, but customer service plays a big role in the overall experience. Based on my two visits, I think there's a lot of room for improvement in how customers are welcomed and treated. Unfortunately, these interactions have made me hesitant to return.

I visited The Hen and Drake with two individuals who are tearoom aficionados like myself. The…read moreultimate tearoom is Lovey's Tearoom, which is an hour away in Pacifica and though it is our favorite place, we believe we found a local tearoom that rivals our regular go-to tearoom place The Hen and Drake is in downtown Antioch! The minute you open the door, you are transported to a beautiful tranquil setting with linen tablecloths, teacups and plates on the table and comfortable chairs. In the corner of The Hen and Drake is a pianist playing some lovely tunes that set a very nice mood. The food presentation was impressive: We were given a small plate that held about two bites of salad. The bottom plate of the tray held finger sandwiches: egg salad and cucumber with cream cheese. The croissant sandwich had a thin slice of apple and sliced ham and cheese. The middle plate had freshly baked scones served with passion fruit curd. They were delicious and had a slight crunch on the edges of the scone as you bit into it. The top plate held desserts : individual fruit tart , french macarons( not made inhouse), and a lavender infused dessert with a creamy center. Every dessert was a "delight" to eat! Everyone who came with us to have tea, was impressed with The Hen and Drake and would definitely come back here. We were here to celebrate a birthday and to the birthday girl's delight, she was given a tiny cute ceramic duck container filled with a bit of custard to eat. What a wonderful way to end a birthday celebration!

I would see my friend post here all the time and we decided to stop by and even this morning we drank them so quickly we wanted even more. Definitely note that you need to look at their instagram to find their location for the day since they move! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Will be coming back!

I still would recommend it though because the people were nice and there was a nice ambience around the truck, desperate people, wanting cold drinks, cause it was a very hot day.

As a longtime barista and specialty coffee enthusiast, I was excited to find a café so close to my…read moreworkplace. The space is thoughtfully designed--open, comfortable, and visually appealing, with a unique wall-style menu and a well-executed bar setup. I appreciate the creativity in the menu, especially the blended lattes, which are not commonly found in specialty coffee. That said, the drinks themselves have been inconsistent. At times, the balance between espresso and milk is off, and sweetness levels can feel a bit overwhelming. Service has been mixed but at time defensive and in some cases while not intentionally unfriendly, interactions can feel somewhat unwelcoming, and there have been moments where a more engaging, knowledgeable approach would have made a difference. How do you not know the oz of you cups? I really wanted this to become my regular spot given the convenience and potential, but the overall experience hasn't quite matched expectations. With some refinement in both service and drink consistency, this place could truly stand out. Salted maple latte would hit but it was was too sweet and over all i could tell the shot was underextracted. Yet still gave 30 percent tip because grace is given even when we dont deserve it but this review i hope is considered. Hoping these things will shift that I could come back.

Paris Baguette remains one of my favorite go-to spots for delicious pastries and coffee, but I've…read moredefinitely noticed a jump in their prices recently. I completely understand why costs are rising--ingredients, labor, and overhead aren't getting any cheaper for local businesses, so an increase makes sense. However, with the current pricing, stopping by for a routine treat or grabbing a few items for the family is becoming noticeably less affordable for us. The quality and taste are still consistent, but it's shifted from a casual, regular stop to more of a rare, occasional splurge. I still love what they offer, but I really hope prices stabilize so it stays accessible for regular visits.

I got an Iced Ube Latte & it did not stand a chance against me. I fell in love at the first sip. It wasn't overpowering with sweetness, just right, however, the Ube flavor was definitely present! And the Ube tasted REAL, not the artificial stuff (not sure if it was artificial or not, and if it was artificially flavored, they did amazing). I can't wait to be back to try their pastries/sweets. Unfortunately I came near to closing, so of course they were out of pastries -- my fault.

The staff member who helped me was super friendly, patient, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I had a hard time deciding what to order, but I ended up going with the Salted Honey Vanilla special--and wow, it was one of the best coffees I've had in a long time. It was creamy, perfectly balanced, and still had that rich espresso flavor that really came through. Not overly sweet, just smooth and delicious. I don't live nearby, which makes me a little sad because I'd love to come back and try more of their flavors and specialty drinks. I wish they had a location closer to San Francisco! If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be stopping by again.

I really hate to write this review because I LOVE the drinks here, but I've noticed that almost…read moreevery single time I mobile order a matcha, my order is always incorrect. I thought it was a mobile order issue, but last weekend I ordered in person and my drink was made into a coffee latte instead of matcha. And unfortunately today, I ordered a $10 matcha and got an iced latte one again that my brother didn't catch to remake because he didn't check my receipt. I really hate having to wait to get my order remade and having an extra drink that's not needed and most of the time goes to waste. All I ask is to make the drink correctly for how it was ordered because I'm sure it causes stress for the folks that are having to remake the drinks when they have other orders to also work on, as well as the customers who pay for one thing and end up with something else.
