The store has certainly aged and the signs are easily seen on the walls and floors of the store. There are few high chairs and few tables inside the store. There are couple of self ordering kiosk as well. I ordered the honey lemonade with boba. The friendly barista prepared the drink within a minute. The tea had good taste, also got the hint of citrus and sweetness of the honey. The bobas were better than the drink, very soft, chewy and not overly sweet.

I'm so bad but I played anyway because it's fun, and I did lose. But I would come back and play again. Super chic and clean inside and a bathroom in the back.

It's a tiny storefront in a small strip shopping center. Modest at best. 3-4 small tables, plenty of takeout customers in and out.

There are a couple of couches to hang out on, as well as tables and chairs. I like their streamlined ordering process whereby you can choose your drink hot or cold, add toppings, and adjust the level of sweetness and amount of ice. The milk teas are my go-to, but this time I ordered a large iced Vietnamese coffee with herbal jelly. Unusual combo I know, and not one I'd normally recommend cos they're not exactly a harmonious mix, but I needed needed a caffeine pick me up and had my heart set on herbal jelly so that was the peculiar outcome.

Tried the matcha latte and really enjoyed it. The matcha flavor was really present and love the creaminess of it which is just how I like it. Took a sip of my parents lavender latte and OMG I am in love!! One of the tastier drinks I've had in a while. Really love the floral taste of the lavender but it wasn't so overwhelming that it felt like I was drinking soap. It was so good Would definitely be back just for the lavender latte... wait scratch that, I DEFINITELY will be back. And this time I don't want to share lol And I'm also excited to try out their other drinks cause they had a lot of unique and interesting offerings. Cafe teasia is truly a cafe that I can truly get behind!!

The Barista was VERY GOOD. She was the only staff member working and was very proficient. She filled our order in a timely fashion and crafted great beverages. We started with: Iced Brown Sugar Latte. This Latte was deliciously sweet and every ingredient mixed very well to create an ideal drink. The other beverage was the Mocha Latte. Another great Java, where the chocolate drizzle and foam made it a memorable selection. Besides Liquid Gold, I ordered a slice of their Chocolate Marble Cake and it was....AWESOME! Moist, firm, pleasantly sweet, and was a perfect complement to the Brain Juice. Thank you, Cafe Tesia, for making this stop worth the time. Now, I see why you're Yelp business page has a 4.8 rating, and I'll definitely return.

All baked goods are made on premises ( not just the crepes.) Croissants, mini Bundt cakes, brownies, cake pops, etc. Many styles of coffees, hot teas, and bubble teas. Signature drinks. I had a hot espresso latte with condensed milk,skim milk, and cinnamon. Excellent! I brought home the Bananas Foster crepe and the Classic and they were Amazing!! Why would anyone go to Dunkin or Starbucks for all those hot cold coffee drinks when you have the real deal here. Made with better ingredients & care. Let's keep these small businesses thriving! Highly recommended!

They're made out of leavened egg batter cooked in a honeycomb-shaped mold. The distinctive feature is the egg-shaped bubbles on the outside. I had a late night craving for one and visited Double Bubble Cafe in Maywood. They just opened 3 months ago and are located in the business district on Pleasant Ave. There's plenty of angled parking in the area. The interior has a rubber duck theme. Adorable and fitting! It's a small spot with very limited seating. There's one table and a few stools near the window. The menu offers bubble waffles, crepes, pastries, bubble tea, baked goods, and coffee. You can build your own crepe/waffle or you can choose from signature creations with pre-selected ingredients. They have a large variety of toppings and sauces. I ordered the Ying & Yang (~$9) signature bubble waffle which comes with crushed oreos, mochi bites, nutella, and white chocolate drizzle. Service was quick and friendly. The waffle came out hot and fresh. It was crispy on the outside with a soft and chewy inside. The flavor was similar to egg custard with hints of vanilla. They did not skimp out on the toppings! I indulged in the chocolatey goodness. The mochi bites were chewy with a mild sweet rice flavor. GET BUBBLY!!!

They also have a chocolate shop next door. When I walked inside of the bakery, I felt transported to a pastry shop in France. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was super busy. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a latte and a scone. The scone was very delicious and fresh. My boyfriend ordered a frozen hot chocolate and a chocolate éclair. I tried a bit of the éclair and we both agreed that it was the star of the show. I normally am not a big éclair person but this one was so chocolatey and rich. It was filled with this creamy, fresh chocolate filling. I strongly dislike the store bought cream filling that they are usually piped with. We sat at one of the little tables on the sidewalk outside since the weather was nice. I will be back if I am in the area and in the mood for a sweet treat!

While the dessert was good, the staff is not aware of allergens in desserts. All three people at…read morethe front, although they were very nice, assured me there were no nuts in "Spring" dessert. They said there could be cross contamination. Cross contamination is no issue for me, as I informed them, but I need to know if there are nuts actually inside as an ingredient. One person said only one item on their dessert menu contained nuts, and when I mentioned that many contained hazelnut they seemed surprised to learn that hazelnut is in fact a tree nut. Lo and behold, the chocolate dacquoise inside the Spring dessert contained nuts and I got an anaphylactic reaction as a result and needed to take my EpiPen. The bite I had was very yummy but almost took me out so I'll still keep two stars for the baking itself. However, staff NEEDS to know what contains very common and deadly allergens.

There are some mango pieces from the syrup-flavor mango, but it was lacking of the strong flavor from the fruit itself. I'll need to try their frozen mango yogurt drink next.

The ambiance, with some 60s music in the background, is relaxing as I watch people walking by this shop. Natural light is pouring in from the front of the shop.
