Been a long time visitor of this Boba Loca. It recently underwent new ownership/management, and they've been making more and more improvements each time I visit. The staff is very friendly and great with my two year old. They were very patient with us, and our drinks came out quickly. A very cool spot to get some work done or just chill to play some of their board games. This place is really looking good!

If you're looking for great boba drinks, definitely come check this place out. The drinks are really good and the boba is great. Don't let really old reviews stop you from coming, the place is under new management and it has become a spot to check out. Service was great. Ambiance is nice with cute decorations. Nice place to grab a drink and chill with friends.

Forget to take a before picture but I gulfed mine down.

Honestly I found this spot by total accident we were on our way to the movies and since it was hot we got some boba since it wasnt to busy which I very much enjoyed. The over atmosphere was family friendly and had a cute set up. The guy servers was very helpful and quick to give me and my friends our drinks rather quickly. The drink I got was so good I got another 1 to go. It honestly hits the spot on hot days like these.

I ordered a green tea and my bf ordered a jasmine milk tea. Green tea was so BITTER and and SPICY somehow, jasmike milk tea had no sugar so we asked for extra sugar and they added an absurd amount of artificial sweeteners. Neither of them were tolerable and went straight to the trash.

I stopped at pet supreme in Sylmar to pick up taro boba cookie for my pup.

I've been here several times over many years and they make the best taro slush near me. I live in San Fernando and the boba places there suck so bad that I have to go out of my way to come here.

When I got to the place, I wasn't sure if I want to order cause it looked a bit messy. But I gave it a try, and honestly it wasn't my best boba tea. It wasn't bad either, but I definitely had better ones. Also, I got pizza pretzel and it tasted like old dough. Although, service was great, I just didn't like their food.

They only have very limited seating but the food and service is amazing. Definitely hope that they can find their own secure space one day and when they do, I definitely do wanna go visit.

This place is known for their many wonderful varieties of toast and burritos.

Hopped on Yelp to find a coffee spot and Steeple House came up. Interestingly enough, the coffee shop is located within a church campus so it's a bit harder to find. We did get to find it thanks to a kind young man who directed us. Now, don't be afraid to stop in because it's located within a church campus. The coffee they serve are great. From Onyx to Black and White Coffee Roasters. The litmus test for how well a barista can do is ordering an espresso straight. My brother's shot was under extracted and he gave it a 2.5, mine was better and was a 3.5/4 Majority of shops will definitely pull shots and use roasts that are more in the classic profile which we don't really like, but it hits with 95 percent of "coffee snobs" we however, prefer true medium roasts that aren't "burnt" or "strong", but when most people are ordering iced lattes, we understand that you need that burnt taste in order to cut through all that milk. Service was great and the vibe is super chill. It's a relatively small shop but it's a nice place to study and to chill.

They use Onyx (from what i noticed), and the sound of the milk being steamed sounded silky (-: ! I think saw they used a bottomless portafilter ? Might have mis-seen. But for those unfamiliar, bottomless doesn't divide your shots into two physical shots. so it looks like "one" shot. but it would be 2 shots if it had that attachment. Shots are dialed by weight, so your coffee will be consistent! The layout of the cafe is nice: entry/line formation moves in a counter clockwise motion. Allows customers to enter space and wait in line while leaving space for people to exit/ wait to pick up their drink. First come, first serve for pastries - expect this for freshness purposes. Drink and their components are measured for consistency and quality control. Wait is subjective in relation to volume at the time which you go. Came in at about 1:30 PM on a Sunday (today was 8/16). Curated menu for their specialty drinks that aligns with their identity. Standard menu for espresso based beverages. Great selection for their Single Origin menu. Roasters they use align with those they highlight on their shelves for retail as a multi-roaster cafe. Ordered a Columbia from Hydrangea - enjoyed thoroughly! When it was still quite hot you get the heavy aroma and flavor of the pastry notes in the coffee. Then more tea-like once it cools down more. Coldbrew in the Woodman did not feel like your typical bold-in-flavor base. Which I think works for the inclusions in the beverage. Not your typical/second wave coffee shop. It's cool to see shops want to bridge that gap between fun drinks and specialty coffee! Kudos to Lynx!

Cute interior!…read more There is both outdoor and indoor seating. I ordered the Snow and my friend ordered the balboa. We both liked our drinks. Not too sweet and great matcha flavor. I would come back to try their other drinks.

ACTUALLYYYYYYYY, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT, PLEASE…read more I am so shocked at how delicious and affordable the drinks are. I tried the matcha with banana cold foam and the egg top coffee. Both drinks were delicious! I ordered online and they were busy. I waited an extra 5 minutes on top of the estimated ready time, but it was worth it. The matcha taste is concentrated, but not overly sweet nor bitter. The banana cream top was delicious and even had chunks of real banana. I was excited to try the egg top coffee because it is a rare coffee top to find and it was delicious, just as expected! The coffee they have is also very strong (similar to Vietnamese iced coffee). Overall, I would come back for a coffee or even a matcha! Despite how busy they are, the staff is super friendly and helpful :) Downside: parking is terrible :( Upside: They are open really late!!

I got the earl grey Matcha and the Jasmine tea. Both were delish! Also ordered the Tiramisu donut and I feel like this would need to be warmed up for about 10-15seconds. You order from an iPad and just wait until your order is ready. I would definitely come back! Parking isn't the greatest though and there's a few long tables inside with chair to enjoy your drink and food.

Cara Vana Coffee Shop is honestly one of the best local coffee shops I've tried in a while!…read more I hate to say it, but a lot of local coffee shops tend to miss the mark for me. The coffee can be bitter, and sometimes you order a vanilla latte and can barely taste any vanilla. But Cara Vana gets it right. Their Horchata Iced Latte is absolutely delicious! I always get iced coffee, and this one has quickly become a favorite. It is definitely on the sweeter side, which is exactly how I like my coffee, but they have no problem modifying the sweetness if you prefer it less sweet. The horchata flavor is actually distinct and tastes SO good with the coffee. It doesn't just get lost in the espresso. The shop itself is also really cute, with a modern Latino flair that gives it a great atmosphere. And of course, I love supporting Latino-owned businesses! The staff are always so kind and welcoming, too, which makes the experience even better. And I have to mention the green burrito and the salsa they serve with it. Both are a MUST try! Great coffee, great food, cute atmosphere, and genuinely nice people. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for a good local coffee shop!

Extremely disappointing first and last visit…read more I walked in expecting a simple coffee, but the customer service was incredibly disappointing. The barista was playing games on his phone while I was speaking to him, and I could clearly see that he was still on his phone because of the way he was positioned. I was already frustrated by the lack of attention, but things got worse after I finished ordering. After I tapped my card, I was told that there had been a mistake and that I had only been charged 9 cents, so I needed to come back and pay again. Mistakes happen, and I would have completely understood if he had simply apologized and handled the situation professionally. Instead, he continued playing on his phone while dealing with me. The entire interaction came across as incredibly rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Customer service should be the bare minimum, especially when someone is taking the time to come into your establishment and spend their money. Unfortunately, this experience was enough to make me realize that this would be my first and last visit. There are plenty of coffee shops where customers can get good coffee and basic courtesy.
