    Yes yes yes, please! I believe this place had its grand opening earlier this month and I am so happy we have a dessert place like this now! There are about 3 small tables and a bar counter for seating. Not the best for large groups, but I saw a group make-do of one of the tables. I love the way they decorated this place. It's very minimal, cute, and bright. They serve poke bowls, drinks (bubble tea, smoothies, brewed teas), and..... croffles!! I came for croffles because, well, who wouldn't? They had lots to choose from but I opted for the brown cheese and vanilla ice cream because of how ~different~ it sounded. So good! The croffle itself was crispy, soft, and flaky. The brown cheese and vanilla ice cream is a great pick for anyone who likes the sweet/salty combo. The brown cheese reminds me of like a salted yolk flavor and worked really well with the vanilla ice cream. Everyone was so helpful and attentive. I definitely will be back to try their thai tea cake!

    I got a small spicy tuna poke bowl that came with a whole bunch of goodies in it. All the different textures and flavors made it extremely satisfying and delicious. The strawberry croffle was so yummy and not too overly sweet. And the honeydew boba drink was very tasty! The service was a bit slow but they're a smaller business and there were a decent amount of customers so I completely understand why the wait was so long. There were about 3-4 small tables and some stools by the window so the place was comfortable but can feel "full" pretty quickly. Overall a great place to grab a quick bite - I'll definitely be back!

    Always has fresh boba and the bubble teas are flavorful! My favorites are taro, jasmine, brown sugar, and rose!

I'm always greeted with a smile and helped effectively. The boba is always delicious! I've tried a wide range of their specials, seasonal drinks, and regular drinks, all of which were amazing. You are able to pick how much ice and sweetness you would like in your drink as well when you order. Don't forgot to pick up a little punch card as well! After your 9th drink, the 10th one is for free! They also sell cakes, macaroons, and chocolate. But I've yet to try any of the sweets here. They all look amazing and super cute though! The location itself can get pretty busy but of the times I've hung out and drank my boba, it was like any other cafe. There is seating along side the mural on the wall and the window in the front of the boba shop, as well as, a cotton candy machine and claw machines that were recently added.

The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which I really appreciated. The interior is also adorable! I definitely want to come back and try some of their other drinks!

It was around noon on a Tuesday and the place was completely empty. I stood there waiting to be greeted by someone but after waiting for about 5 minutes no one ever showed. I could have grabbed the register and walked out. But I just left because I knew this place wasn't going to be good. To me the meaning of bootleg vibe is when you go to a restaurant and the pictures on the menu are just random internet pictures and the descriptions have nothing to do with what's shown. The place says smash burgers and crispy chicken and the photos were like random KFC pictures. Steer Clear!

It may have been powdered mix, but it was still a delicious smoothie! The employee was also very polite. Each drink comes with the regular boba, but you can upgrade to different topping for an additional charge. My favorite thing about this place is the bottles that they serve their drinks in because they are absolutely adorable. The drinks are served in clear plastic canisters that have a soda tab. Very whimsical and fun. While I did not get any of their food this time, I would like to do that in the future because it looks delicious!

I got the grilled pork banh mi with a cup of broth (~1/2 quart, $5) with a Vietnamese iced coffee. Sandwich was good, but it wasn't very big for $10. The meat, which was good I was expecting to be pieces of grilled meat, was very sparse and very thin, like bulgogi. The broth was pretty sweet instead of savory and likely already pre-seasoned with hoisin. In terms of service, I had placed my order first. Sandwich with the coffee. My partner said he'll have the same thing. I confirmed to make sure that was also including the ice coffee, and the person that took our order said yes. We waited for a while for our order (highly recommend ordering online, we just saw different prices on their website vs online ordering service, so we thought we'd just wait to order in person), then she forgot our iced coffees. We waited some more. She only brought out one. She said oh sorry, I only rang you up for one. So we waited some more. At that point I thought she would just let us have the coffee on the house, but she did indeed ring us up. We were probably in and out with our to-go order in about 40 minutes. All in all, I'd go back for the iced coffees if I was in the area because they were good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.
