I really appreciate when employees at a spot actually care about their work, it says a lot about the ownership/management. I ordered an iced PSL and their Avo Toast. Both were absolutely fire. The drink didn't taste like it was loaded with sugar, which allows you to actually taste the coffee and notice the quality of the beans. The avo toast I had was drizzled with this chili oil they make in house and it was 10/10. I wish I lived closer to here, as I'd likely visit daily. If you're a genuine coffee lover, definitely give this place a shot.

I've had a latte from here before and really enjoyed it, but unfortunately, today's latte tasted…read morevery different. The coffee had an old or stale taste and was missing the natural sweetness I usually expect from good coffee beans. The espresso also seemed too watery rather than rich and syrupy, almost as if the shot wasn't extracted properly. I'm not sure if it was the espresso machine, the grind setting, or simply a bad shot, but the flavor was noticeably different from what I had here before. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it and ended up throwing it away.

Yaqui Coffee House is close to home and has become one of my favorite little stops…read more Whenever I'm craving a Café de Olla with honey, this is where I go, and it always hits the spot! The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and I appreciate that I'm not sitting around forever waiting for my coffee. I know I should probably branch out and try some of their other drinks, but I have a picky stomach, and when I find something I love, I stick with it. Their Café de Olla with honey is definitely my favorite. Most importantly, I wanted to acknowledge the consistently friendly service. A great cup of coffee combined with kind, efficient customer service makes all the difference. Five stars from me!

It's been a while since I've gone to a cafe that will put effort into making their latte's. So when…read moremy girls suggested we go here, I didn't really have any expectations. Not bc I heard anything good or bad about the place, but based on a bunch of spots popping up and just having a cute aesthetic and not great coffee. When I say I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED when I took my first sip, I literally wanted to jump for joy and hug the baristas I ordered a salted maple latte and I've been fixated on it ever since. The place is really popular and they do sell out of the specific drink I like pretty quickly. And the place is a bit of a drive so I am not able to get it as often as I would like, but this is once Coffee shop I would recommend to anyone if they're willing to drive down south or are in the area.

Highly recommended if you love Ube flavored desserts while you are in the area.

You can easily use your players discount here and any food comps as well. I'll admit I've made the mistake of getting cups of coffee after 6pm several times now and have trouble falling asleep later on. I guess I'll never learn.. The donuts, muffins and pastries are brought in from Mary's Donuts, which are some of the best in town. Bacon-topped maple bars too? Check. I think these are life changing if you like the salty/sweet fusion. There always seems to be some sort of a line here, and for good reason. I know for sure I will keep on trying different donuts and baked treats here since this place is closer to me than driving out to Mary's in Santee!

I ordered an iced coffee with whole milk. I asked for a dash of cinnamon, but they forgot to put in the coffee. The iced coffee was okay. It was stronger than I would have liked, and had a bitter after taste. The ice to coffee ratio was good. The service was friendly. They share a seating area with the Market Place and the other eateries.

A weird experience but the effort is appreciated…read more Came in one weekend out of convenience, we were driving around the area and my gf highly recommended it. We parked and noticed nearly all the lights were off. The pastry cabinet was empty, the tables were taped off. But people were inside and customers were in line. Emotions and energy were low, it was quiet and dim vibes all around. We walk in and see just one man working the cashier and making the drinks. He looked puzzled, a bit lost. We get in line behind someone ordering 4+ drinks and see that this guy didn't really know how to make the drinks. He was misplacing the ingredients and wasn't fully confident operating the payment system. The back counter was cluttered with miscellaneous gadgets, appliances, and syrups. It took nearly 20 minutes for the customer in front of us to get from ordering to receiving their drinks and we just watched in slight awe. The guy was apologetic and upfront, he was trying his best in a bad situation. They made some small talk and hinted that they were closing due to supply chain disruptions in Hawaii. I feel for them and wish them well. The coffee itself was ok. Flavor was decent but somewhat unremarkable. They offer different caffeine levels, up to I think 400mg in a drink. I just got the 200mg coffee. Don't know if I just built a tolerance but I fell asleep right after. We did want a pastry but with the baked goods cabinet empty, we weren't sure what they had left to offer. There was a long sign listing everything sold out between the pastries and coffee flavors. Overall the experience was odd and left a slightly bitter emotional taste in my mouth. They've acknowledged that they weren't in the best condition at that point and I do feel unfair to judge them at their worst. If they turn it around, I'm opening to revisiting. But for now, I don't feel compelled to go out of my way for it.

Check-in ordering kiosk is available at the counter along with being able to order from a cashier. Menu on TV boards above the registers and also menu with photos posted outside. I ordered the mango coconut milk smoothie/less sugar and added boba, which was featured on their seasonal drink menu. Even with ordering less sugar, the mango and coconut made it very sweet so I would recommend perhaps almost no sugar the next time but I enjoyed it and it was still very good. I did not order any food items. Hours clearly posted on the front door with strip mall parking right out front. Comfortable seating with table space inside, would be good for groups, as well as single customers. Wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom. Nice and relaxing atmosphere with floral tree as decor, flowers jetting over the ceiling of the general floor space and plants throughout.. Very clean with nice chill music playing.

This was my first time visiting this location, and I must say that the quality of the teas is…read moregreat. Everything tastes fresh, and they offer a variety of options for everyone. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the poor customer service from one of the young ladies working there. She made my daughter and me feel very uncomfortable when we asked if one of the teas could be changed because it was too thick and sweet for my daughter's liking. Instead of simply trying to take care of the situation, she immediately said "NO" and made a disgusted face. Thankfully, Jeff stepped in, saved the day, and offered to make us a new drink. As a multiple-business owner myself, Jeff is exactly the type of employee I would want representing my business. He understood customer service and handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the other young lady. Her attitude and facial expressions were completely unnecessary and made the experience uncomfortable enough that even my daughter felt as though she had done something wrong simply for asking. Great teas, and thank you to Jeff for turning an unpleasant situation around.

Both drinks were great from the very first sip. Drinks were flavorful and easy to enjoy. Overall, this is definitely a spot that's earned a place in my boba rotation.

I was especially excited for the Crème Brûlée Milk Tea, expecting a distinct caramelized vanilla or creamy flavor, but it tasted more like a plain milk tea. There wasn't anything that really set it apart, and it wasn't very sweet. The Thai Milk Tea was also surprisingly bland and seemed a bit watered down, lacking the rich sweetness and bold flavor I typically expect. I'm not sure if the drinks suffered from being delivered rather than enjoyed fresh in-store, so I'm willing to give them another chance before making a final judgment. Hopefully the next experience is better.
