My go-to for breakfast! Iced mocha and jalapeño bagel with cream cheese & bacon. Yummy!!
Kris R.

UPDATE: I've tried their Super California Sandwich for lunch one day and it's absolutely fresh and delicious! I usually get sourdough but there are other bread options! I made a phone order this morning and Stacy definitely knows me as the "mocha girl" haha! I absolutely love how convenient this place is and I'm always satisfied with the customer service and food! Thank you Ariel & Stacy for always making my day!

Menu as of June 2025!

A quaint spot for great on the go food. Plenty of things to choose from here. Love the iced coffee which is refreshing and their vanilla granola blueberry parfait is perfect!

What a lovely hidden cafe that sells a great variety of fresh food, drinks and sweets!

Reuben

So I want to start by saying that the girl working the counter was very nice, which is why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. Now, I ordered a Reuben sandwich, which is predominantly a corned beef sandwich with some garnishes, one of which is sauerkraut. What I received was a sauerkraut sandwich with a single, thin layer of beef garnish on top. On what planet, would anybody think this is a sandwich that should have been made is beyond me.

I like this small business. The young women who works here is just really nice. She's very pleasant. Can get busy. Making an online order is super easy. Prices are pretty good. Food is good. Snacks are always pretty filled. But lots of small options available. Good amount of seating. In a nice little spot. I definitely recommend this place.

Caramel Macchiato

Like the vibe here. It's a small business with great customer service. Food here is good, tried various sandwiches and quesadillas so far. Recently tried their caramel macchiato too! Delicious and reasonably priced.

Convienent mini cafe in the middle of healthcare offices and other offices. Staff is friendly. There is plenty on the menu to choose from. Healthy options such as salads and soups, plenty of comfort food to choose from also. My grilled cheese was DELICIOUS. Food comes out promptly. Cash or credit is accepted. There are areas to sit around the cafe. Would definitely try more options on the menu if I am back in the area.

Cafe aero is right outside in the courtyard of several business (and possibly residential) buildings. Walking up, we were unsure if we wanted to eat there and the gentleman at the counter was inviting and pleasant. Once we decided to have some sandwiches, he was very helpful and accommodating with our preferences. We both ordered vegetarian sandwiches, but with the modifications, they were nothing like one another. Because they had no meat, we were able to get avocado for no up-charge. Sandwiches came up in a timely manner, and we decided to stay in the courtyard and eat them which was open and had ample seating. Sandwiches were fresh and tasty! If ever I'm back in this area, I wouldn't hesitate to return :)

I have lactose intolerance and I asked for coffee with oat milk but also asked about the Cafe Mocha that had milk in it!!!! And she said their is non After she made the coffee and I took a sip I realized It has mail in it..... The service in this place is really bad except for all the offices here don't make the effort to come here!!!!! Really disappointing Because you didn't even offered me a new one just took the money and tossed the coffee away !!!!

Grilled Cheese w/ Avocado and Bacon
Brandon I.

I had the best grilled cheese with avocado and bacon from here. The people working were friendly and suggested the bacon add on which of course I said yes to. Quick, convenient and well priced; this is one of my new favorite lunch places in the area

Cafe owner always happy and provides outstanding service

Food/drinks: 5 Service: 5…read moreAmbiance: 5 I am so glad I found Boba Religion. I think it might be my new favorite boba spot. I have already been there twice in the past week, which should tell you how much I enjoy this place. The aesthetic is super neat. I love the decor and the overall vibe. It is colorful, bright, and full of character. They also have board games, and we ended up playing a game of chess, which made the experience even more fun. I have tried a few drinks so far. The double matcha was one of my favorites. I enjoyed it very much. It did not have that overly bitter matcha flavor and was sweet in a really balanced way. I also ordered the Oreo matcha, which was super delicious, refreshing, and tasty. The taro milk tea was good, and the ube cloud coffee was delicious. It actually reminded me of the Vietnamese coffee I usually get in Orange County, so now I do not have to drive all the way there to get something similar. The drinks here are great because they are not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like them. I also tried the purple rice yogurt just to check it out and thought it was okay. Service was also quite friendly, which added to the overall experience. I really enjoyed everything about this place. The vibes, the ambience, the customer service, and especially the drinks were all on point. I love this place and it is five stars all the way for me.

The line was super long (expected with a promo), but honestly it moved faster than I thought it would. Staff kept things friendly and upbeat the whole time, which made the wait feel lighter. Inside, the shop has cute setups and little games that kept the kids entertained -- a nice touch you don't see everywhere. I ordered the Double Matcha Latte, which was rich, earthy, and really good. At $8.75, it's on the pricier side, but with the BOGO deal it felt worth it. I also grabbed the pandan waffle, and wow -- that hit the spot. Warm, fragrant, and fun to snack on while waiting for drinks.

In terms of what we got, my friend and I both felt like the boba were too soft and blend unfortunately. And the flavors of the teas were just alright. Another staff member was cleaning the seats with a strong chemical cleaning product and eventually it was too strong of a smell that my friend and I just wanted to leave without actually finishing our drinks. I really liked the vibe there so I was definitely hoping I would like it and want to return. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd want to return, but I thought I would still give a big shout out to Brandon, who made the ordering and check out experience so pleasant. Hence the 5 stars.

Tried Mosa Tea recently and overall thought it was a pretty decent spot…read more The drinks are Taiwanese style, with a strong tea base. I ordered the Tieguanyin milk tea and the osmanthus Tieguanyin milk tea. Both had a rich tea flavor, which I appreciated. The osmanthus one tasted more like osmanthus syrup and it added sweetness Overall, solid drinks, but nothing particularly standout. It actually reminded me a bit of Wushiland in LA. The main downside for me is the parking situation. It's pretty limited, and nearby parking isn't the most convenient. Especially during dinner hours, about 2/3 of the spaces are valet for the restaurant next door, which makes it even harder to find a spot. Overall, a decent experience, but probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to.

There's two kiosks for self order next to a wall of curated local art and the staff is also attentive.

Highly recommend this one if you like special flavors :) My friends cake with pork sung was similarly delicate too, and is for those who like to mix salty/sweet. IT IS NOT TOO SWEET!!! Perfectly less-sugary for those with a light palate. The tea is tasty as well - peach oolong milk tea with peach jelly and winter melon jelly had that smooth, fragrant and well-balanced blend of creamy and light.

I'm surprised some people could sit down and work/study successfully. Note: I had a positive experience last time getting a blended drink, but today I felt like trying their Thai Tea (not blended) and two Korean Corn Dogs. I ordered the hot Cheeto one with cheese and sausage. Did not wind up receiving the hot Cheeto one. Got a regular one with all cheese, no sausage. Partner got a potato one with cheese and sausage, but only 25% of the filling was sausage. We ate them anyways and wanted to leave it at that since the parking was so difficult. Then my stomach started gurgling in a very wrong way. I don't know if something went wrong with the Thai tea (was the milk they used expired?), or with my Korean corn dog possibly being prepared wrong with a new hire, but my body rejected it violently once I got home. I'd be very cautious about coming back here. Most likely won't. Couldn't finish my Thai Tea. Had to throw it out. I'm hoping this was just an unfortunate one time thing, because it seems like people for the most part have a good experience from their food and drinks. This is my third ever time visiting Urban Bubble. The past two visits were for blended drinks and they were great! The girl working the cash register on the evening of 4/24 around 8:00PM was really helpful with suggesting recommendations and did great. I don't know who prepared my food and drink but maybe they need extra training, heads up. If you order food, I suggest that you check the food before leaving the building instead of trusting that it was correct and finding out once you've already left.
