It was bold rich and delicious. Their baked goods looked amazing but I'll have to try those on the next visit which will be soon. The staff were very polite, very informative and extremely helpful. Inside was a great chill vibe with relaxing music playing in the background and it's a fantastic place to get coffee, hang out or do some work. There are several coffee spots in the Riverside/Avondale area and Bold Bean is one of the best. If you're a coffee fan, Bold Bean is a must if you're in the Riverside area.

So I was very excited to try Greenhouse. I ordered an iced matcha latter with oat milk and vanilla and lavender and later tried a THC mocktail.

I was in the Riverside area and decided that it was essential that I found me a Boba place. I…read morestumbled upon. Tutem Tea and was pleased surprised. The establishment is very easy to miss and sits on the very end with not a lot of signage. It was a little warm inside but definitely gave a very mom and Pop vibe. There is a sign in the front at the front register that says "press the button if you want Boba". I pressed the button twice. The cashier was pleasant but he seemed to be one of the few people working so he was doing a little bit of everything. He made my drink quickly and it wasn't as sweet as I expected but it was still decent. Im also used to boba teas being a little colder - it almost like more ice needed to be added. It did get better as I drank it. I do believe I would ask for extras to get the sweetness right.

Both delicious as can be with just the right amount of sweetness. Mom gets so excited when I visit and have an iced coffee for her and today was a little different. When she couldn't drink anymore (because it was empty) she began ripping her cup open to get all the excess whipped cream and cereal from inside the cup. She's never done that with any of the other coffees I've brought her from other places. So this definitely had me laughing and enjoying our visit today. I even made a little video that will come later on of her giving her "review" of her coffee. Maybe this will turn into a series or something. Who knows? But today was a great visit with lots of smiles and laughs.

I ended up ordering their most popular flavor the Dreamcatcher and it was perfect! It was not as sweet as you think it would be. It was a great balance of caramel & vanilla mixed with coffee.

The corn cakes were thin and cooked perfectly and held up to the massive amounts of filling stuffed inside. So flavorful the chicken salad with avocado delicious, the beef with cheese and sweet plantains, so many flavors and textures, one bite and you just wanted more! We destroyed these, no leftovers, so good! oh definitely get some of the cilantro sauce too! loved it , can't wait to visit again!

All in all, a very authentic, local spot.

I don't have the greenest of thumbs but I love to think I do. I ordered their seasonal Matcha, which had a dragon fruit jam in it, which I'll be honest I'm not totally sure that the two work together, but I admire the creativity. Also individually both things were delicious. Of course I saw one of the most delicious cookies I've ever seen and so I had to also get that and try it for science sake. I am here to say that the cookie was in fact, absolutely delicious. It was the perfect amount of sweet with just a little bit of salt added to it to make for a delicious bite every time.

The chai specifically was made from the generic tazo concentrate served in every chain coffee shop. The ambiance of the store was very nice tho.

Lastly, I also wish there was better seating there was one couch but otherwise you're stuck with hard plastic chairs and tables inside.

When we ordered, he mumbled back and forth and seemingly didn't understand our relatively simple order, which was a bagel, egg and cheese sandwich and a PBJ on a bagel. My wife also got an iced coffee drink. The man at the counter had an attitude with us the whole time, especially after my wife asked for an iced coffee rather than the hot coffee he served. He was huffing and slamming doors and dishes, and it was really unnerving. The most egregious part was the cost. For the above three items, this man actually charged $31. I didn't even bother to argue with him and just paid the tab. There's no way we weren't overcharged, but I'm equally certain he would have resisted any attempt to examine the bill or gotten angrier... over nothing. We didn't say anything or do anything to this man other than place the order and return the hot coffee, which was his mistake. The whole atmosphere was uncomfortable, and I will strongly recommend no one visit Old Cup cafe. You will be ripped off, or retaliated against, and you will not enjoy the experience. Places like this need to just go out of business, and I can't imagine they're long for this world with so many better and more affordable spots in Avondale. Head to Southern Grounds and avoid Old Cup at all costs.
