Amazing service ! The vibes are so calm and owners are so kind. I felt welcomed with employees and the Coffees are great!!!!!

Love this place! Great service. Love the atmosphere. Also love how patient they are. Went in there once with my family and my son accidentally dropped our whole drink and they said it was ok and that they can pick it up. Thank you for not giving us an ugly face or change of tone or nothing. Thank you for your patience. My son is in his terrible 3's learning right from wrong. We purchased another drink even if they offered to give us a new one for free. Thank you again read more

Thought I would treat myself to a Matcha since I'm not normally in this area and this was a really cute stop. The shop was decorated as if ready for pictures! Super cute!! I got a cake pop and it was great! I also got the rose matcha and I asked for strawberry puree with it! The puree was nice as the rose was REALLY over powering! I love a good rose matcha and this by far had to be the strongest I've had so keep that in mind when ordering! Matcha was nice and creamy thought. No grit! I Service was okay. The lady was sweet but young so there was no one there in the front when I walked in until the little bell rang, and she had to ring me up twice because she forgot to add my cake pop. Overall, I probably won't be back but if you're in the area it might be worth checking out for a quick fix! read more

This experience has been really frustrating. I've ordered online multiple times specifically to avoid long waits, but each time my order hasn't been ready--even after waiting 15-40 minutes past the estimated time. Today it said 5 minutes, I arrived after 15, and it still wasn't ready. I mentioned it to the owner and was told they had a lot of online orders, but the shop didn't appear busy. I understand things can get hectic, but the timing is very misleading. If orders are going to take longer, that should be communicated clearly so customers can plan accordingly. The coffee is good, but the inconsistency and wait times make it difficult to want to return. read more

Beautiful place, they always have good music playing and it's so fresh and clean in there . I ordered the banana latte and it's always delicious! Their size large is LARGE I always have some left for later. Owner is always nice and welcoming. read more

Vicky pours her heart into every drink that she makes! Aside from having a menu full of tasty drinks and treats her personality is genuine and makes it feel like you are visiting your best friend. The cafe has a modern look and is always kept clean. Vicky never steers me wrong with drink suggestions and today was no exception. She suggested a refreshing passionfruit orange iced tea that was the perfect balance of sweet and citrus notes. Thank you Vicky for making this a place to enjoy a refreshment and a genuine conversation. read more

Not impressed. I came here after seeing a TikTok about it and I'm always down to try a new coffee spot. I walked in, it was clean. Someone said hello from the back. There is a screen that you order on. It has the drink and food options. The sizes don't tell you ounces or any of that information. I placed my order, the machine, for a large banana latte. I usually order a large and they're usually around 20oz, so that was what I was expecting. The drink total was $10 before tax. I paid. It asked me if I wanted to tip. I am not against tipping but I expect human interaction to know who I'm tipping. I got my drink in less than 5 minutes, the girl came out from the back handed me my drink and straw then quickly disappeared into the back again. I'm sorry but I value human interaction in service roles and this felt very cold and impersonal. The coffee was ok, I didn't think it was anything special except that the large was GIANT. read more

I've heard a lot about this place and I decided to try it first myself. Located off Van Buren in a newly revamped shopping center parking is easy and there are quite a few food options nearby. I was specifically looking for non-dairy so my options shrank a bit,but that's OK. I decided to go with a slush.It had strawberry ,mango,and raspberry. I added mango jelly Boba. My order came in a little over $7 and it was so good. It was my first time trying jelly boba and I liked it. Service was friendly and helpful. There are a few stools and seats to sit on inside. read more

While the quality of the coffee is great, the wait time is excessive. I ordered one drink 20 mins before arriving so I wouldn't have to wait too long. And I still waited another 10 minutes for the drink. That's was 30 min for one drink. I'm not sure if the owner just doesn't have enough employees or what. I stopped coming here for about a year and came back hoping I wouldn't have to wait as long as before. read more

I've been coming here periodically since they first opened, and I always enjoyed my drinks. For a brief period they offered macaroons, but that appears to be discontinued and no other snacks or treats are available. That's probably wise though because the space is fairly small. Lately, given the hot summer days, my favorite drinks are the Slushee types. I'm working my way around the menu and almost all are good, although the spicy strawberry is an interesting mix of puree and tajin spice, reminiscent of sour tamarind and chili powder. Service is friendly and drinks don't take too long to prepare. read more

Went last Saturday night and this place was busy. There were a few people waiting for their orders, but we didnt wait that long after placing ours. The staff was friendly. When you walk in you get hit with a perfumy smell. It smelled good, but not something I'd associate with a coffee/tea place. We decided to try the coffee drinks and got the chestnut coffee and the banana coffee. The chestnut was decent. It was a little on the sweeter side but the flavor went well with the coffee. The banana was not good imo. It was an artificial banana flavor (think banana laffy taffy or runtz) and pretty sweet on top of that. I'd come back to try the teas before writing them off. read more

Great Watermelon Mojito Iced Tea. Received pretty quickly too. They have a nice area where you can wait too.

You pay for the aesthetic because the coffee is not it here. Ordered the cookie butter latte thinking it came as advertised with the biscoff cookie, but it came with barely any crumbs no cookie, also ordered it less sweet and it was pure sugar. Also coffee was majority ice, ended up tossing it. The aesthetic is nice but the drinks are just sugar. Service is quick though. read more

***DON'T ORDER ONLINE*** I've been here a couple of times and the coffee is good -- no complaints there. Today I decided to order online so the drinks would be ready by the time I arrived. I walked in and heard a "welcome" from the back, but no one actually came to the front. After 15 minutes, someone finally came out and started handing out drinks. When I realized ours weren't ready, I asked if she could check on my order. Her response was, "Oh, did you tell anyone?" How exactly was I supposed to tell anyone if no one came out from the back? What's the point of ordering online if you still have to wait once you get there? read more

Good afternoon I had the worst experience. My Matcha was really bad. I drank very little and that owner was extremely rude. Not to mention the barista had her hair nearly down, was chewing gum, and was no help (: read more

Wonderful first visit with my brother. Warm welcome with a smile. Bright interior with bar seating or bench seats. A large menu selection I was actually surprised all they had to offer. It's great when you don't know what you're in the mood for. They probably have a solution for your cravings. The cups are large sizes and has plenty of drink! Parking right in front with easy access. Sit and stay a while to enjoy the vibrant and happy atmosphere. Great for a refreshing iced cold brew! read more

These people are so sweet! They're drinks and desserts are amazing, they stayed open for us even though they were closed, and i left my purse inside the store and they're kind employees ran out and brought it to me. Definitely get the Tiger milk tea extra sweet it's delicious!! 10/10 service read more

Menu is very extensive so that is good for options. I like that there is a kiosk to order or you can order at the register. The drinks were okay; I like the bitterness I get from the coffee, and I added egg pudding for a hint of sweetness. The inside has marble floors and nice lighting, but it doesn't have many tables to invite you to stay and chat with friends. The drink had potential but I don't think it justifies the higher price. read more

waited 20 minutes just to get the wrong drink. Thats the only thing I ordered. Smh...

Service is amazing, got my drinks fast and tasted amazing. Definitely recommend this place if looking for a nice tasty drink. Vicky is super polite, attentive and pretty read more

Music is pretty loud inside. Its not a coffee shop for staying in, but the coffee is good. Would recommend ordering ahead, picking up and dipping shortly after because it isnt really the type of place for that. The people behind the counter are nice and courteous and the drinks come out fast. Never really had a problem with them. Would recommend if you're passing by and want coffee. read more

It's meh. Tried the matcha again, but it's not "ceremonial" matcha as the promote. It's a murky green and very bland. We also got a smoothie, nothing that stands out imo. The place has an overwhelming smell of those plug-in air fresheners or heavy fruity flowery body spray; immediately triggered my allergies. read more

This cafe is in a shopping center, next to Panda and the dentist. I had looked at their menu online to see what they sell: coffee, boba, and teas. I was craving a coffee this day. I walked in and was the only one in. This was noon. I was immediately greeted by the owner. He asked me if I had been there before and I said no, this was my first. He showed me the menu. You order from a tablet displayed at the front. He let me know I could ask him any questions. They have different unique drinks. I was interested in trying their Taro créme coffee. I love Taro. You get to choose how strong you want the coffee and any add ins. Food related, they have açaí bowls, macaroons. Soon after I ordered, someone else came in. I was waiting around for my order to be ready. The owner asked if I needed anything else and I said no. The cafe has a modern feel to it. They have a few unique tables and chairs lined across the wall. Everything felt brand new and contemporary. They have a wall to take pictures of your drink for a photo op. My drink was ready quickly. The owner saw I was getting ready to take some pictures and he brightened the lights xD. It was a very pleasant experience. The drink really did taste like taro and the coffee was great! I would definitely be back! Thanks! read more

This place is a joke . A complete joke. They do false advertising. How can they promote their coffees and make them look so good & then bring out something completely different? They should atleast put a sign saying that if you want your coffee to look nice you have to pay for each topping These two look nothing alike . read more

Drinks are not good. Service needs work. Owner is extremely rude to customers. Save your money

Me and my sisters love this boba shop! Super delicious and a huge variety of drinks. Personally, I find their coffee to be super rich and strong (very delicious though!) so drink at your own risk unless you want to be wired all day. Their boba is sooo good!!! It's very chewy, warm, and fresh, just how I like it!! I do notice that it takes a while for our drinks to come out and most of the time you have to order through the machine since the employees are usually working on the drinks in the back, so you miss out on that connection. I'm usually the type to ask for recommendations on what to try next, especially since their selection is so big and interesting, i'd love to be able to talk and order with an employee. read more

I have come here so many times and never had a bad experience. I actually really enjoyed coming here up until today. I found a nail in my smoothie tonight and decided to return to let them know (hopefully to encourage glove wearing/more sanitation) and to get a refund. Instead the owner accused my boyfriend of planting it and only offered to remake the drink. I explained that I had no want for a drink from their establishment and that I was the only one who touched the drink and I have acrylics (no way of my nail even being able to break into my drink). The owner emphasized that without a receipt he couldn't refund me. For some backstory on why I didn't have a receipt, when I was first there I also ordered a drink for my mom and they accidentally put boba. Understandable, mistakes happen, but when I let the owner know he snatched my receipt and said he'd remake it. (to which he just picked out the boba and it was still all throughout her drink). I looked through the receipt pile on the counter and found my receipt. The cashier refunded me and the owner never once acknowledged me even once the receipt was found. No sorry, no explanation. I actually really enjoyed coming here but won't be coming back due to the lack of empathy and the disgusting nail. read more

Ordered online for future pick up it specified a certain time of pick up. I showed up five minutes after the specified time. Still had a wait additional 10 minutes. The staff look to just be talking, not making any orders, there was no one else in the store as far as customers. I had placed the order for a lunch break. I waited and wasted so much of my lunchtime. The Thai tea also tasted a little washed out. I did not intend to return. read more
