REALLY GOOD! I came here on a late Saturday morning and…read morethere was a relatively long line. It did move pretty quick and they were getting orders out quickly, too. I ordered a chai latte with oat milk ($8), and it was DELICIOUS. Definitely in my top 5 chai I've had. I will definitely be back. Oh, also, there was plenty of seating inside and outside. There were a good number of people occupying tables, so it was a good ambiance and setting for meeting someone, working alone, etc.

I came during a busy hour which wasn't idea but didn't affect anything in regard to the taste of what I got! Typically I like to find a spot that's quietly busy so if you're wanting to do the same I would try to come when it's less busy as I found myself slightly overstimulated by the business and seeing all the seats filled up which otherwise is a good sign! The Banana Dream Match caught my eye so I ordered it immediately along with an Avocado toast + egg ( extra cost). They give you a buzzer for the food and you have to find a corner to wait in that's out of the way and pick your food up by the kitchen. The vibe was very open and I liked the different seating options as well as the abundance of outlets. I ended up eating outside to get away from the busyness and the I was in the middle of talking when the taste of the Banana hit me. The best. Banana matcha I've ever had. Which I didn't expect because I've tried so many but what I loved most is that the banana flavor was sweet but tasted like real banana and the matcha flavor was still present. The banana flavor wasn't just at the top either it was top to bottom so every sip tasted the same making it soooo good!! The Avocado toast was good as well a little on the tangy side but I loved the egg. Great spot when it's less busy which would make parking easier as well but glad I stopped in to find my new favorite matcha spot.

Haven't…read morebeen to the Rancho area for some time but I was pleasantly surprised to find this place through Yelp. It's tucked slightly out of the way in the shopping center, across from the Dollar Tree. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the friendly cashier and I ordered the Jasmine Cloud Matcha with boba. It was delicious, very smooth, and not too sweet. I got 75% sweetness and had almond milk in it. The inside has a cute, cozy atmosphere. I liked how open it feels too--there's a good amount of seating and it doesn't feel cramped at all, despite it being a smaller shop. The little design details make it feel cute and put together without being over the top. I would definitely come back to try more of their different drinks and treats.

I arrived around 1:40 PM only to find the doors locked and a closed sign posted. I understand things happen and businesses occasionally need to close early, but customers shouldn't have to waste a long drive because posted hours aren't accurate. If you're going to close before your advertised hours, please update Google and your website so people know before making the trip. Unfortunately, this was a very frustrating experience.

I finally tried the taro drink--it was just okay, nothing I'd order again. I got it with low sugar…read moreand was glad to try it once, but it didn't stand out. What I really come here for are the taro buns. They're the best thing on the menu--very soft, fluffy, and consistently good. I'm always looking for taro items, and the big buns are definitely where this place shines. I also picked up cookies for my son (brownie cookie, and macadamia), but we didn't like them. They tasted mostly like sugar, were very hard, and felt like they were missing flavor. Their coffee is good, especially the Vietnamese coffee. Service could be friendlier--it doesn't feel very personal or welcoming. The Rancho Cordova location is in a large shopping center with plenty of parking, but the area itself feels a bit sketchy. Overall, a few standout items, but the experience could be warmer and more consistent.

Wish I could give them 0 stars. Worst. Starbucks. Ever. - To…read morestart, the barista tried to charge the customer in front of me for a gift card that the customer was trying to use to pay for her order. - I attempted to order an Horchata Créme. The barista (same one as before) had no idea what I was talking about, like the idea of a coffee-free drink was completely foreign to her. - I asked for a shot of the refresher energy, because I did not want coffee or espresso, and she couldn't wrap her mind around it. She refused to do it, stating "there is no button for that." I asked to see the manager. - The manager, Daniel (he said), also refused. He told me he couldn't because it was "against company policy," which I then stated was a lie and we both knew it. Then he said he wouldn't do it. I asked why, and he said "I won't do it, and I won't gice you a reason why." I am not asking for anything insane, or anything free - just something different. They were incredibly rude, and refused and lied to me. And then mocked me as I was on the phone to corporate about it afterwards. Corporate confirmed that his statement was a lie as well.

We had just picked up the dogs from daycare and they drank all the water I had packed for them and were thirsty for more, my poor babies! We still had a long way to get home so I put my coffee order in via mobile and went to the counter to ask them for 2 venti waters with no ice for my poor thirsty pups and the person working the register was multi tasking like a pro, taking orders via headset, talking to the other staff, and putting in my water order. The place was busy! Drive through and indoor outdoor seating. It was clean amongst the bustle and the bathroom needs pin code FYI! Thanks again for the water!

I've also spent thousands of dollars and I always feel some kind if judgy vibe by certain employees and friends of theirs they know I'm disabled as well. Definitely avoid staying here late! Employees do better not to jump to conclusions. Management don't allow bad employees to push away regulars who come frequently. I don't even always drink kava sometimes I just come here to drink a soda and play chess with a friend. No need to tell people how to live their life if you're the one on the clock. I'm just doing what I'm told is okay. No need to try and ruin someone's holidays or night. Happy 4th to you too! It's not like I'm the one doing unethical thin

I finally stopped by after picking up something small at Chick Fil A next door. When I pulled up into the drive thru, there was a sign that said that the speaker was currently not working so had to go up to the drive thru window to order. Luckily there was no line when I was there! I pulled up to the drive thru window and initially ordered an Iced Vanilla Matcha. Unfortunately, they were out of matcha so I ended up going with my usual second choice drink which was an Iced Vanilla Chai. I also asked for light ice so it's not too much ice. The drink was made pretty quick so I didn't have to wait too long. I took a sip and was very pleased with their Vanilla Chai drink given it was my first time trying a drink from here! You can definitely taste the chai which was subtle and the vanilla sweetener made it even better. Will definitely try this place again to see how their Vanilla Matcha is! Luckily there's another location near my office building where I work so might give it a try there next time. Although I do love the drive-thru only concept when on-the-go!
