Today I went to Avalon Café and Boba because they had a sign out front that said tacos. I love tacos and I'm always trying to support local businesses in Carson. Customer service was excellent, and the price was good as well. It was three tacos with two types of salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, and grilled jalapeños. You can have a clean location, great customer service, good prices, but at the end of the day, it's the taste of the food that matters. This restaurant fell short in every way. The tortillas taste like they were warmed up in a microwave. The Carne Asada, pork and chicken all have no flavor . They were not seasoned well at all. The guacamole was a little brown like it had been sitting for a while. The pico de gallo is not good as well, not seasoned no spiciness at all. unfortunately, this is definitely not a place you want to visit for tacos. I should've known better based on the name of the restaurant but again just trying to support local businesses as they diversify to try to stay open. Maybe their coffee is better. This was a definite miss!!!

Stopped by while we were in the area after hearing about from a friend, and it's definitely a solid spot to grab a quick boba, smoothie, coffee. What was pleasantly surprising was the food though. It was really good. Drinks wise, I got the Mudslide shake, which is peanut butter based, really good and filling. Also tried the watermelon chamoy smoothie, which I really liked too. Foodwise, we tried: the breakfast burrito, chicken pesto sandwich, the pastrami melt, and the avanchelero tacos. The breakfast burrito was solid and probably my favorite but the chicken pesto sandwich was really good too. Overall, we really enjoyed everything. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area, probably on an Ikea run.

Rose Matcha

Got the rose matcha and never seen any other cafe do that and it was delicious!! Definitely recommend a try if you're a matcha lover. The staff was also very sweet and nice as well.

Scrambled Feta Croissant and iced biscoff late

I frequent this place often since I work in the area. Coffee is always on point! I've had the Thai tea as well but I am a coffee snob at heart lol. Offering Vietnamese coffee is a plus!! Boba is fresh. I've only had breakfast once here- feta breakfast croissant. It was yummy and huge. Definitely shareable! I appreciate the owner's interactions with his customers. Coming from behind the counter to hand us our orders is such a nice touch and I can tell he is grateful to be in business. I wish nothing but best for this gem! I will be back :)

Scrambled Feta Breakfast Croissant is my favorite! The beef tacos were good and nicely presented. They were able to accommodate my pregnancy needs of having well-done eggs and beef and non caffeinated drinks, taro milk tea. Yum! The owner, Mark, recommended Tiger Boba tea as a decaffeinated drink as well. Will try that next. Thanks!

Wall decor

After the Yelp event I also purchased additional items. The review below is based on purchases made and not the Yelp event. I arrived this Sunday around 10 and the parking was easy. I am not sure how parking would be during the weekdays. The staff was very friendly and professional. The staff had a good vibe with the customers and they helped us use the photo booth. The photo booth was cool. The wall décor gave this place a nice vibe. There was not a ton of seating but enough and they also had some outdoor seating. I enjoyed the "Netflix and Crunch" cookie which was sweet, thick, and had a density of flavors. It reminded me of Recess and Chocolate and Cookie, so, it did the job. I enjoyed the Ham and Swiss Croissant because the ham was cooked and the bread was soft inside and lightly toasty on the outside; I appreciate that a lot. After my next hike or jog on the West side, I will stop by here and get something to bring home. Please listen to the song I am parodying, U Send Me Swingin' by Mint Condition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBFM72-5WM4 While you are reading my song parody portion of my review below.

Tacos
Angel ..

The food here is amazing and super flavorful! Everything is made to order and super fresh, so you will need about 15 minutes, but so worth it.

Vietnamese coffee yum.
Tato Y.

We met the owner and he's pretty chill. My husband got the Mango lychee dragon fruit. Taste delicious and I just got vietnamese coffee. But it's on point not overly strong or sweet. I love Avalon Cafe&Boba cozy little place. Well be cack again.

The food was good! There was a bit of a wait but I understand because we ordered three of the Scrambled egg croissant. We also ordered two black coffees and one vanilla cold brew.

Pistachio Vietnamese Coffee (Iced)
Tatyanna R.

First time at Avalon Boba & Cafe with my son after errands -- and wow! The pistachio Vietnamese coffee had me in a chokehold . Breakfast sandwich? Fresh, customizable, and hit the spot. Friendly staff, bomb boba... yeah, we'll be back.

Thai Tea
Sandra S.

We were around the area and decided to try this place. The food is amazing and the combos are worth it!! You get a sandwich, drink and a dessert for a great price. The service is great everyone is super welcoming and friendly, you can tell they love their job. The owner is super nice and talkative and super attentive. It's a hidden gem but it's worth it!! The ambiance is super relaxed and comfy. It's perfect if you want to come with friends and chill. The peaches and cream is to die for!!!

Tuna croissant
Keisha C.

First time there at Avalon Cafe, the customer service from Raul was great. He was very knowledgeable about the food items and different discount events on certain days. I ordered the tuna croissant with cheese. So delicious. I enjoyed my sandwich.

I got a Blueberry and passion fruit green tea And I got their breakfast burrito with ham,  turkey bacon, and american cheese also 10/10
LunDen W.

Amazing service, everyone is super nice! My drink and breakfast burrito were fantastic!! I would definitely recommend. It's also super cozy and cute inside.

See all

DOL Coffee House - Peach Black Tea

Love finding hidden gems like DOL Coffee House! My little sister Jocelyn and I decided to try a…read morenew café spot in the area yesterday, and this place absolutely did not disappoint. The café itself is SUPER spacious with plenty of seating, making it a really comfortable spot to sit, relax, study, or catch up with friends. One thing we immediately noticed was how kind and courteous all of the workers were. The customer service felt very welcoming from the moment we walked in. I also loved that when your drinks are ready, they actually bring them out to you instead of calling you up to the counter -- such a nice touch that made the experience feel more personal. For drinks, I ordered the Oreo Matcha Brûlée Latte and my little sister got the Vietnamese coffee, and WOW... both were SO delicious. My matcha drink was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with the Oreo flavor, while the Vietnamese coffee was smooth, strong, and flavorful. You can tell they put care into their drinks here. Overall, such a great first experience and we'll definitely be back again soon!

This spot opened down the street from my work. A good amount of parking space but it can get busy…read moresince there are other spots around and share the parking space. When I first walked inside, I totally felt the vibe and spacious. Friendly staff and open to offering recommendations. Never tried it before, but it stood out to me for some reason. I ordered the Egg Foam Iced Coffee. It was nothing like what I expected and instantly wanted to down my drink. It was creme brulee like and the coffee taste still shined through.

Cafe Pruvia - Peach jasmine iced tea

Loveee this place. Been going here since they were opened. I don't go as much as I used to anymore,…read morebut I still come back to it once in awhile. I also noticed manyyyyy complaints about how their cup isn't filled up because they ask for no ice. Not that I am biased, but.. if they either (a) add more water; it dilutes the flavor. Then they'll start complaining that it tastes "watery". Or (b), adding more tea, it can make it taste too strong or bitter. Adding extra of (a)/(b) to compensate for the missing ice would mess up the flavor. They are not being stingy, they are just maintaining consistent quality. Other people might say that they ask for no ice at Starbucks, and their cup is always filled up. They are prioritizing customer satisfaction by filling up the cup, even if it changes the drink's intended taste very SLIGHTLY. To me, I see that this boba shop prioritizes maintaining the tea's quality over simply filling the cup to the brim. They're ensuring the taste is consistent with what's expected. They also switched to self ordering instead of them taking your order. Makes it easier but I prefer an employee taking my order. Also, the boba quality is different compared from years ago. But I don't add boba to my drinks anymore so it's whatever! They also used to make drinks really quick, it takes quite awhile now. Still a 10/10 boba shop!

Review #990 2026-060…read more Drinks Order: Peach Jasmine Tea with Crystal Boba $5.60 Passionfruit Green Apple Refresher with Lychee Jelly $6.60 Peach Refresher with Crystal Boba $7 Cafe Pruvia is located on the east side of Pacific Square Shopping Center while traversing over a bunch of speed bumps to reach the cafe. With several boba/tea shops in the same plaza, I'm guessing they're trying to capitalize on the high foot traffic from Tokyo Central & Main supermarket, & their competitors ("boba clusters")? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ On my first visit, I wasn't sure what to order & saw someone exit with a bright green drink; the cashier said it's one of their more popular refreshers: Passionfruit Green Apple Refresher, & ordered it with lychee jelly. It's basically a slushy with passionfruit & green apple, but the flavor isn't as sharp, though it paired well with the jelly. I love peach, & their Peach Jasmine Tea is perfect for the summer... light, refreshing, & aromatically alluring with the combo of jasmine & peach. I prefer the Peach Refresher with Crystal Boba, which I claimed for my Local By Toast (LBT) $5 birthday reward. This slush has a notable peach flavor & crystal boba tastes better in this icy drink because it maintains its soft, chewy texture whereas tapioca pearls usually hardens & becomes tough after longer icy exposure. The menu is compact, consisting of: milk & flavored teas, non-caffeinated drinks, swirls, refreshers, crema (milk smoothies), coffees & coffee lattes, & tea lattes, with moderate prices in this competitive neighborhood. It's a decent selection but nothing that I considered unique enough for dedicated loyalty with other options in this center. Not the friendliest of service, but they are fast. The cafe is quite spacious with tables & chairs lining around the perimeter... with free WiFi, there's usually a crowd hanging out, particularly during the weekend evenings. If they provided board games, would that be additional entertainment to entice customers to stay a little longer & have a few more drinks? Hmmm... Cafe Pruvia uses LBT for their loyalty rewards, & program rules allows you to earn 1 point for every $1 spent, & earning 165 points for a $5 discount (or 3%). I'm not a frequent patron so I haven't checked my rewards status in a while... I came back recently when they dropped a $5 birthday reward. That's when I checked my account & saw that I only tallied 3 points after multiple trips; their tracking system is glitchy & I don't plan to fix it since there's no way I'll spend enough to earn the next $5 reward. Opened during the pandemic lockdown for nearly 6 years, Cafe Pruvia announced that they will be permanently closing on Sunday, 05/24/26, but will maintain next door sister, Pruvia Coffee Bar. If you're a fan of their teas & smoothies, this is your last chance to say goodbye.
