(Left to right) Peach Mango Smoothie. Strawberry Mango Snow. Passionfruit Orange Iced Tea

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very good coffee Cozy shop. Excellent team members helped me in choosing a drink. It was my first time so I had some questions but the team member that helped explained the coffee toppings and what the base consists of. I liked my drink! Highly recommend stopping by for a good coffee.

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!

Delicious drinks ! & they've been doing little upgrades which look great. Nice employees and very clean.

Ordered the banana matcha , looks nothing like the picture, no taste of matcha at all they forgot my whip cream , ive made better matcha at home very disappointed should've ordered the normal size since its so artificial tasting like a banana laffy taffy almost

Obeyy P.

Location was very clean and neat, employees were polite. The drinks did not meet expectation. Strawberry matcha gave us a headache, it was watered down and the jam didn't balance out with the matcha. Dragon fruit was way too sweet and too much sugar, my kids did not like it.

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!

I heard many good things about this place and drove 40 minutes to try them out. Unfortunately they did run out of boba because they became so busy but honestly the drinks tasted so good even without it. The staff at this place were very friendly and helpful! I definitely recommend this place and will continue to come because the 40 minute drive was definitely worth it. 10/10 read more

so, i always drove past this coffee shop on my way to work. i decided to stop by recently and it was really nice inside, okay? so i go up to order my drink i order a thai tea, how hard is it to make a thai tea? not that difficult right? so you'd assume. i walk in, im assuming the manager is this asian man? he's already looking at me so weird and i get the vibe he's going to be rude to me and so he is! i order my thai tea and he's giving me so much attitude, horrible customer service and then on top of that my thai tea is absolutely disgusting, it was so watery it tasted like water mixed with milk. i'd definitely never come here again nor recommend it to anyone, 0/10. horrible management and disgusting drink. this guy needs to knock down his ego and make better drinks and run a better business. read more

Don't recommend coming here at all. They close at 9pm yet when we got there before 9 and they saw us walking up they turned off the lights and said they were closed a whole 15 mins early. The assistant manger rudely said " the lights are off, so we're closed" and apparently they only get paid till 9pm so they can't be open until 9. The owner is super cool and loves her customers but the Assistant manager doesn't care about the business or customers and just wants to leave. The owner should think about hiring a better assistant manager who cares about the business and isn't just there to collect a check. read more

Really really love the staff they're very welcoming and help you find drinks to your liking. But I hate the drinks. They're TOO sweet. Me and my husband went the first time thinking it was our fault for getting sweet milky drinks. ( I got Chai with taro foam and my husband got strawberry milk tea) Well, we went a second time trying to give it a chance and nope. Immediately regretted it. (We got matcha and palm berry tea) the matcha was grainy and overly sweet even though I added less sweetener. My husbands drink tasted way worse than mine, literally candy in a drink. If you have a big sweet tooth this is the place for you, just not for us unfortunately. read more

I feel like the quality of drinks can be either a hit or miss but luckily today it was a hit. I ordered the coffee milk tea with coffee jelly. It was really light and not strong at all and i really liked it. My bf ordered the strawberry coconut 80 percent sweetness but even with less sweetness it was still pretty sweet. Overall i did like both drinks. We ordered online and service was quicker than the estimated time of 30 minutes so be warned times might not show up accurate. Inside felt a little stuffy and usually i opt for to go only.

They have boba, frappes, and matcha. I decided to get their brown sugar matcha. They have two sizes, regular and large. I got regular. I am not sure if they offer any substitute milk. It was ready in 3 minutes. I took a sip, and was not that impressed at first. The green color looked good. But with a straw, I moved it around and was able to taste the brown sugar. It is very delicious. They have some seating in the area if you choose. I would come back to try their other drinks.

It's part of their pistachio series drinks and found in their ordering kiosk near the front counter and not on their above menu board. Could have used a little more pistachios on top and less ice. Would order again though, I liked it! The service was good but there was an issue. Tried to download the rewards app to get points for this order as this was my first time here at any of the locations. Went through the process til they asked for the code that was texted messaged to my phone. Tried several times but no code was sent. I just decided to uninstall the app since I could not proceed in finishing creating my account and proceed with ordering. Not good.

We also ordered the strawberry lemonade which was on the sweeter side so I'd recommend going a bit lower than regular sweet but still quite tasty! Staff were also very kind to us! Next time I'm in the area, I will return! :)

I'm a long-time customer who went to the original location on University Ave, and when Tim told me…read morehe was opening another store near the Tyler Galleria, that was great news. I've always liked their drinks as well as the snacks. This location is 4-5× larger inside, which makes it less cluttered and conducive for working, studying, or even playing board games. There are swing chairs in the back, and couches with tables, and standard chairs and tables as well. The atmosphere is well lit without seeming too bright, and the music is pleasant. Favorite drinks include the Mango Surprise, which is like a smoothie, and the tea-based peach with fresh fruit chunks. The watermelon option is equally refreshing. Snack wise, I love the egg rolls, and the chicken nuggies are another great choice. Friendly service has always been a hallmark.

After really liking the Krak Boba located in Westminster, my husband and I were eager to try…read moreanother of their locations. As expected, this Riverside location impressed us as well. The drinks were delicious and served in nice, sturdy cups. Matcha Storm: A dessert-style matcha slush blended with creme brulee, this drink is a cup of creamy richness. It was blended perfectly to have a smooth, but slightly granular texture without any chunkiness. Moon Princess: From the secret menu, this is a peach green tea with chewy crystal boba. I really enjoyed every element of this drink. It was surprisingly creamy and had just the right amount of sweetness. Online ordering can be done through the app - super convenient and easy. Sign up for an account in the app to earn rewards and get BOGOs. There is some seating within the store, but it only seems like a good spot for small groups.

I had tried Krak Boba in Westminster so my wife and I had to check this one out in Riverside since…read morewe were in the area. First things first is that this location is quite spacious, although it's a smaller store, I find that the store made the store very spacious with what they got. There's plenty of tables around and we saw a few hanging about and some on their devices. We had order online so there was no wait at all. I highly recommend downloading their app as they have promotions very often. My go to drink at Krak Boba is forever the Matcha Storm (Slush) and my wife wanted to try the Moon Princess drink. As the Matcha Storm is always a wonderful choice, they're always very consistent with the drink. Super refreshing no matter the situation and this time was no different. It's one of their most popular drinks and for good reason. My wife's drink, the Moon Princess was in my opinion, even better than the Matcha Storm. I don't know how to really describe it, but it was a taste that I had rarely seen. It was super refreshing, a mix of floral and oolong, it was just the perfect drink. Certainly a good recommendation for such a unique name for a drink. Overall, 10/10 Krak Boba locations, they have other locations and they're all wonderful. Love the consistency.

Was able to customize it to zero sugar and that's about it, service wise, the place didn't have anyone there so it was quick. Ambiance felt like an arcade in a way because there's a couple of machines and some tables. Definitely a place for a take out only. Felt off because they asked for tips when you're going for something to go .... Plus no size options.... Will not return.

Today was my second time visiting this cafe, and the owners/employees here are the sweetest! So far I've tried the salted foam coffee, the creme brûlée coffee, and they were so nice to give me a sample of their specialty bottega coffee, and it is definitely their specialty for a reason! I loved all of their drinks so far, and i especially recommend their botega coffee if you're a fan of caramel :) I definitely recommend stopping by ! read more
