    Croffle
    Vanessa P.

    We popped into this little tea spot for a post Halloween sweet treat after being out and about all day. I was curious as to what a croffle was after seeing their advertisement on the window. They were several unique flavors on the menu, along with a huge variety of teas. We decided on the matcha croffle. So delicious! It's exactly as you would imagine a cross between a waffle and a crossiant would be. Crispy on the outside, flaky, soft and warm on the inside. Topped off with a fluffy cloud of cream and red bean, it was a scrumptious combination. We also tried a couple of their milk teas, the lychee flavor and the matcha, very good, perfectly sweet and the boba was chewy and soft. The regular size held a good quantity of tea, if I was thirstier I could see myself upgrading to a large. It's a small little shop, best for pickup but there are one or two tables if you're in need of a quick croffle fix. Service was very friendly and quick. Overall, this is a hidden gem I'm happy we found and I'll definitely be back!

    The banana croffle was amazing, crispy on the outside, soft inside, with just the right amount of sweetness from the banana. So good! The drinks were super refreshing too, perfectly balanced and not overly sweet and perfect for a hot summmer. Great little spot for a treat and chill vibes. Will definitely be back!

    This review is loooong overdue! We booked Cool Tea Bar for our wedding in 2022 and it was one of the best decisions. Colin helped me set up everything for the catering event and he brought a buddy on the day of the wedding to help us. I couldn't believe how polite and professional Colin was and he was just in high school at the time. We wanted to use our own boba cups but completely forgot to bring them to Fremont where our venue was, Colin and his buddy offered to drive all the way back to San Jose to get us their cups. They even stayed past their time to help us with the long lines because everyone wanted boba. They didn't even charge us extra. The whole day was a blur and by the end of the night, I was disappointed I couldn't catch Colin and his friend anywhere to personally thank and tip them for being there. Post-wedding, I came back to CTB to look for Colin but was told he left for college. Colin, if you ever read this review, we appreciate you!! I highly recommend CTB for your next event. Their drinks are good and refreshing plus they offered the best pricing when I was shopping around. Our guests loved them!

    Its been a while but it was the weekend so I ordered red bean milk tea. Service was fast and efficient. They have tea bags on sale for $12 on the right hand side. There was music playing on background.

    Returning to cool tea bar was so nostalgic for me since I used to frequently purchase it from club fundraisers. I always opt for the roasted milk tea here or the mango green tea. The large here is also pretty big. The drinks tasted exactly like how I remembered it back in high school. I was disappointed that they were out of cool balls but the boba itself was really fresh and chewy. There is plenty of parking in this plaza and the drinks come out pretty fast. Overall, I will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area!

    Service was fast and easy! We ordered matcha, kumquat green tea, and Thai tea all were delicious. Definitely recommend for a quick, tasty stop.

    It has been years since I last visited Cool Tea Bar, but it was just as I remembered it from the high school fundraisers we used to host with them. The prices are still very affordable - only $5 for a regular size (it is HUGE) which would cost much more elsewhere nowadays. I ordered the mango, lychee, and passionfruit green tea, and out of the three, I personally enjoyed the passionfruit the most. While the flavors weren't anything too crazy or unique (tasted more like juice than traditional tea), they were still refreshing and enjoyable to drink. Also, the boba was too soft for my liking, I personally prefer a firmer texture.

    CROFFLE MENU!!!!!

    My croffle was so fresh and crispy. It's the ONLY place I know that sells boba croffles love it!! Will definitely come back.

    great boba !

    great food cool robots! Everyone was very nice and asked if we were okay. It did not a lot of time to be seated at all

    Roasted Milk Tea
    Julia L.

    Came here w my friends on Monday. Bought the large roasted mt. It lacks flavor and I didn't get to finish it. Was a bit disappointed.

    Quick take: very friendly service Ordered a Kumquat Green Tea/w boba. 70% sweet. Decided to get a large because it was hot. The large is a very generous portion for just $0.50 more. I definitely recommend the large if you are thirsty. The menu selection is a bit limited. The taste of the tea is ok.

    First time visiting this cute boba tea bar. We had lunch next door and decided to pick up something sweet before heading back to work. I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with honey boba and grass jelly, and my friend ordered their Grass Jelly Roasted Milk Tea. As always, you can adjust the sweetness and ice levels to your preference. My Jasmine Milk Tea was made exactly to how I enjoy it. Would not mind returning to try something different next time!

    Found my favorite childhood snack, mixed rice paper at Moc Delights--a fancier version of what I…read moreused to have in Vietnam. I love that the rice paper itself was flavorful, savory, spicy, shrimpy and garlicky. The tamarind sauce on the side was sweet and tangy. I like to pour it over the rice paper so it softened up. I also like the toppings they added for the mixed combo rice paper, nice blend of texture and flavors from jerky, pork rinds, mango, and egg. My personal favorite topping was the Vietnamese coriander, perfect to pair with the rice paper. I highly recommend the combo mixed rice paper. I also got their milk tea & coconut kumquat to try & tbh they were super disappointing. The milk tea & coconut kumquat were unbearably sweet, I couldn't even get to half of the cups. For the milk tea, the tea scent didn't pulled through at all. I was basically sipping on burnt sugary milk. Overall, giving this place 3/5 star because they need to improve their drinks.

    On March 26th, around 7-8 PM, my daughter and I visited Moc Delight and ordered two portions of…read morepan-fried pho. A male staff member took our order, but when the food was served, it came in to-go containers even though we did not request takeout. And when the mistake was pointed out, instead of apologizing or offering a proper solution, he responded jokingly saying "It's okay, it's no different, just a different plate." I found this response very unprofessional and disappointing. At the very least, he should have asked whether we wanted the food served properly on plates. The food quality also did not match our previous experience. The bread inside was still cold, and the pate was cold as well since it wasn't plated properly. Eating from a plastic container felt completely different from dining on a plate and it is definitely not "the same" as he said. Also, no utensils were provided, and I had to go up to the counter to request a knife and fork myself. I hope the management sees this review and provides better training for their staff, especially in customer service and handling mistakes. Vào khoảng 7-8 giờ tối ngày 26 tháng 3, tôi cùng con gái đến ăn tại Moc Delight và gọi 2 phần phở áp chảo. Một bạn nam đã nhận order của chúng tôi, nhưng khi mang món ra thì lại để trong hộp mang đi (to-go) dù chúng tôi không hề yêu cầu như vậy. Khi chúng tôi phản ánh về sự nhầm lẫn này, thay vì xin lỗi hoặc đưa ra hướng giải quyết phù hợp, bạn lại trả lời với thái độ đùa cợt rằng: "Không sao đâu chị, không khác gì đâu, chỉ khác mỗi cái dĩa thôi." Tôi thực sự không hài lòng với cách giao tiếp và xử lý tình huống như vậy. Ít nhất, bạn nên hỏi lại khách xem có muốn đổi sang dĩa hay không. Chất lượng món ăn lần này cũng không được như lần trước. Phần bánh mì bên trong vẫn còn lạnh, pate cũng bị lạnh do không được bày trên dĩa nên việc ăn trong hộp nhựa mang lại trải nghiệm hoàn toàn khác so với ăn trên dĩa, chứ không hề "như nhau" như bạn đã nói. Ngoài ra, bạn cũng không mang dao và nĩa ra cho khách, khiến tôi phải tự ra quầy để xin. Hy vọng quản lý nhà hàng sẽ xem xét góp ý này và đào tạo lại nhân viên, đặc biệt là về kỹ năng phục vụ và cách xử lý tình huống với khách hàng.

The coffee…read morequality was excellent, the staff was very friendly, and the pastries were absolutely delicious. The shop itself is a bit small, so it may not be the easiest place to study for long periods, but it has a great atmosphere, good vibes, and a very welcoming environment. The outdoor seating was a huge plus, especially with nice weather -- it's the perfect spot to sit outside and enjoy your coffee. Parking in the area can be a little tricky and it is paid parking, but that's pretty common for most downtown areas. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for quality coffee and a nice atmosphere.

The banana cream felt lacking as well. Even after mixing the cream top with the matcha, it felt unsatisfying and not enough banana flavor. I do like how the overall drink isn't overly sweet and the texture of the cream was nice. It was fairly crowded on a Thursday morning but the line to order moves quick. My drink took about 15 minutes to come out. Maybe it was just an off day? But I had higher expectations for their banana cream matcha.
