Chagee
It still is a little mind boggling not seeing Johnny Rockets at this location, but wow it is a whole new refresh Chagee added to this corner of the outlets. I know Chagee had crazy long lines during grand opening along with a few days after and depending when you go I wouldn't be surprised if the line is long as well.
Wife and I went on a Friday afternoon, when we first arrive there was maybe 2 groups but had like 3 people in each group. After we ordered, as usual the line did get to the entrance door. A decent amount of seating, they also have their own bathrooms inside as well.
The worker were nice, most of them greeted us as we walked in, the gentleman who was working the cashier was very helpful and was spot on with recommending me the Ceylon Black Tea as i was originally going to for the Roasted Black Tea, which I do and will try soon amongst other drinks as well.
I loved that you order was placed on a label that is put on the cup, when it comes to you drinks in the hands of the makers, they put the QR code to this machine, it scans it and to my guess does it automatically dispense the amount of liquid and any thing else right into a shaker. On that label is shows the calories, how much caffeine as well as protein and sodium if any.
Matcha Latte - Wife ordered this one with oat milk, I am not to big on Matcha but I did try it and it is really good. My wife said if you have had Hojicha, she said it gives her a little bit of hints of that with the Matcha flavor. She said it wasn't too sweet, a good balance of earthy and creamy.
Ceylon Black Tea Latter - As mentioned above this is what I ordered with oat milk based off the recommendation from the cashier. I went with the larger size and I am glad I did because this was delicious. A lot of you may not have tried this before, but you could have with social media now a days, but being an ex barista from Starbucks, this drink reminded me on hot days I would make myself a black tea no water but with soymilk sweetened with toffeenut (rip) and it gave me that milk tea vibe. This was just that but tasted better! You had a really good balance of the black tea taste that mixed well with the oat milk, super refreshing! My question, they gave me this interesting straw or stir stick? It was thick enough to stir my drink, but it was also tiny holed straws. I could have been doing it wrong and it was only to be used to stir but I used it as my straw and you know what...it actually helped me enjoy my drink a lot longer, other wise a regular straw or sipping it from the top I would down the drink in seconds.
In conclusion, so far both drinks were delicious and refreshing, specially right now with the heat. I will most def be coming back to try other drinks. I do prefer coffee over tea but knowing this isn't too far I def see myself changing things up and getting other drinks I haven't tried.
