None of that icy, thick or sometimes even watery concoction that you buy from other places mixed with who knows what. The space is small, designed really well, and the cultural nuggets around the store transports you to Brazil. I had the chance to meet the owner. She shared the history of the space, her story of how Mimo came to be as well as her passion for design and marketing. You see her work throughout the store. I will be back to try their tapioca sandwiches, and for sure be back for more açaí bowls.

F#*%* you short white guy! Root of Happiness? More like Root of Attitude…read more Came in for a simple Kava cloud and was refused without any explanation. Instead of basic customer service, I got hostility, swearing, and an instant call for security. No conversation, no reason given -- just pure aggression. The employee was rude, angry, and clearly looking for conflict rather than doing his job. The vibe was so toxic it felt like I personally offended him by existing. Honest question: who ruined your day, and why are you taking it out on customers? And even more important -- why do you hate your job this much?

Was at lunch im the area and decided to look up Boba spots near, and came across 8Teas Bubble…read more Located off of Mather Field Road and around the corner (not literally but close enough) to the Mather VA Hospital. Sits this small Boba spot in a small off road location. I stopped in to get a Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba, and saw 8Teas served a variety of drinks and also served assorted Macarons. They also have an assortment of fruit slush drinks with the flavor popping Boba and jellies. Drink was great, and just over $8. Not sure if that the going price at other Boba spots I've gone to but it's probably around there...I'll have to check in the future, lol. But would definitely come back if in the area and looking for a good Boba drink!

We ordered a "velvet" (taro+thai tea) with boba and a strawberry milk with strawberry boba. Also ordered a fruity pebbles macaron and a strawberry cheesecake macaron. First of all, the drinks were delicious. Cold and creamy and not 90% ice which was a huge plus. I felt like we got more drink than ice and I highly appreciate that. The strawberry milk drink tasted like it was mixed with real strawberry pieces. The velvet drink was the perfect blend of taro and Thai tea. All in all, both had great flavor. My only complaint, the size of the drink- it's pretty small. But it's also about normal for these kinds of drinks so it's to be expected. My daughter liked the macaron cookies (they are a favorite of hers). I've never been a fan of those kinds of cookies but I tried them and they were tasty. Of all the ones I've tried, they definitely make top 2. We will definitely be back.

It definitely was once a clothing store that they transformed into a coffee shop with tables, couches, arcade games, board games and even a pool table. The vanilla latte was a hit. The server was super friendly. He brought us our drink once it was finished too. This spot is a nice getaway from the crowds of folks shopping. It doesn't feel like it's located inside of the outlets which is a major plus. We love shopping at the Folsom Outlets and having a cool place like this to drop in and relax and recharge is going to be a life saver.

Their ambience and relaxing atmosphere are very calming and friendly and their decorations are very intriguing. Don't get me started on their taiyaki! It is SO good, my favorites are definitely the Nutella one and the pizza one!!! They're high quality treats for a low price and are very delicious! Their iced green tea is even better and absolutely worth it!! It's extremely refreshing and light and pairs perfectly with their taiyaki! They have a lot of games and lounging areas and have jazz music that is there but not too loud! Very interesting place with very interesting aspects. Their service is also really good and the workers there are really friendly!! Come here for sure if you want relaxation and yummy treats!

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.

I always drive by this place and have been wanting to try it! I know there's so many other…read morelocations but this one was an actual drive-thru only. 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!

I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of cakes and specialties, as well as pastries that were available. I chose a bear claw and decided to eat that while I was there, since there was no way to eat that in the car with the powdered sugar, etc., making a mess. They put it on a plate and brought it to me. I also chose a Napoleon and a slice of carrot cake and a peanut butter cookie to take to go. I asked if they had a pick that said happy birthday and she went in the back and found one for me so it was one stop shopping for what I needed. What I was so surprised with was they have crêpes and sandwiches and many items I was unaware of. I definitely will have to come back and try some more and maybe come back for lunch or brunch. The lady was super helpful and friendly. There's nice seating inside if you want to eat your goodies here as well. Located in the shopping center across from Raleys on Fairoaks Boulevard in the same building as the UPS store so if you're taking some Amazon returns back walk down a few doors and check them out! .

I love supporting small businesses and like to use cash when doing so to help offset their expenses and keep their menu prices affordable. Please consider that when using these small businesses. I wish them well and hope to visit soon.

The bread was crusty on the outside, but softened pillowy on the inside, they were very generous with the meats, I could taste both the ham and the pate, and they were very good quality. The veggies were crisp and not soggy at all. I asked them to leave off the jalapeños and they did. It was an excellent sandwich. The sandwich and a soda the price was very reasonable.
