I tried to order at the kiosk and it was pretty bad experience and didn't allow me to fully customize my drink. I ended up trying to get the cashier's attention and placed my order with her. They didn't have plain black teas on their menu so I asked to order one and she didn't understand what I wanted since they primarily have milk teas. I ended up ordering a plain black tea for me and a passionfruit iced tea for my friend. The black tea came out super concentrated and CLOUDY. I tried it and it was absolutely disgusting. I didn't think I had to request for it to be diluted, I thought that was common sense. She offered to remake the tea but I declined and asked to just give me a passion fruit tea instead. I wasn't a huge fan of the passionfruit tea, it was too sweet. I don't think I will return.

There are a lot of recommendations here for the more intriguing and classic menu items...and I should have gone with one of those. The Brown Sugar Matcha from the special menu was very sweet and not too exciting. I ordered at the kiosk and it was helpful because there were photos of the drinks so you could get a preview of what they look like. Ordering at the kiosk was straightforward. After a short wait, I got my drink. The bathroom was out of order when I visited. The drink was really sweet. If I go again, I would minimize the sweetness. The boba was great.

We also tried the Classic Krak Signature Milk Tea, which was really flavorful and well-balanced. The service was friendly, the shop was clean, and the ambiance made it a great place to sit and enjoy our drinks. The only drink that wasn't for me was the blended taro. I know taro is a root vegetable, but this honestly tasted like I was drinking a blended potato. It wasn't what I was expecting flavor-wise, so I personally wouldn't order it again. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the Crème Brûlée and the Signature Milk Tea. Those alone made the visit worth it!

The workers are always super nice and greet us every time we come in, which I really appreciate. They also have a little punch card where you can earn a free drink once you fill it up, so of course we love that! The only downside is the parking lot. It fills up really quickly, and finding a spot can definitely be a pain, especially when it's busy. But honestly, that's a small inconvenience for how good everything is! We'll definitely be back!

Not impressed with the workers attitudes. They were rude and didn't communicate with us well. Worst experience. We asked for a hot coffee as advertised and this worker just said "we don't have that", but it says you offer that on your menu? So without explanation just gave a rude "no". Usually go to this place and have an okay experience but this time around it was awful. Not impressed at all. read more

The coffee itself is also very basic nothing special or worth going out of your way for. Overall, not a spot I'd come back to.
