Ordered the double matcha einspanner ($8) and yuzu sparkling ($6.25). When inquiring about "No Ice"…read morefor the double matcha, the person at the cashier said the drink would only be filled halfway, so went with "Less Ice" as half-filled for the small cup size would be a couple sips at best. For "Less Ice", the cup isn't filled all the way for both drinks. Nice setup inside and they provide free water and free wifi for customers. Drinks were decent, and "Less Sweet" is still pretty sweet. It was disappointing to learn the drinks are less filled when "No Ice" is selected, especially for an $8 cup of matcha. Other low reviews share similar sentiments and wouldn't come again.

My current favorite go-to matcha spot! My friend recently…read moreintroduced me to try their matcha einspanner and am now OBSESSED. It's perfectly sweet, the matcha profile has a nice balance of earthiness yet refreshing, and the cream top is like a condensed milk texture not foamy like other cafes which I really like! The cafe is quite spacious with lots of seating for studying. Service is quick and drinks are usually made within 5 minutes of waiting, even when the cafe is packed. I rarely see videos about it on social media and I think it's such an underrated spot!

Outpost is a clean and spacious coffee shop. Among the countless amount of times I've been here, I…read morehave been greeted warmly every time by the baristas working there. However, the bar must have been raised too high by the excellent in-house service, because I had an experience that turned my views completely sour. I commented on their Grand Opening instagram post, which contained AI-generated art. My comment was deleted and once I pointed that out, I was blocked shortly after this, within minutes. Now I get that businesses can do as they desire, however, this instantly repulsed me because it feels like they don't care about their community. Additionally, it reflects on them as a business in which they handle criticism, something that is inevitable when you serve the community. (They turned off the comments, as well.) They unblocked me to send me a message the following day, which I included in this review. Go here if you are looking for coffee close to you, but if you care about the full picture such as ethical labor practices, customer service, usage of AI, and attention to detail, I'm not sure if this is the right place for you. Specialty drinks are not cheap, and I'm thankful that Outpost showed me their true colors before I spent even more money here. They reminded me that there are other small family-owned businesses out there who also spend 100+ hour workweeks and don't treat people like this.

You order from a kiosk and they have a tab dedicated to the collaborations that makes it easy to browse through the menu. The drinks were great and everything (cups, tables, walls, etc ) were branded in such a way that it makes it feel like an actual pop-up. Overall, great spot and glad it was worth the trip all the way from the SFV.

Yummy! 5 stars for the coffee and food alone…read more I absolutely loved the coffee and pastries. It's one of the best coffees I've ever had. I wanted to try all the desserts! I've been trying to go back but it's far from me. I honestly think the coffee was better than Dutch Bros and Tierra Mia.

First time trying this coffee spot. My friend noticed the sign after we had lunch at Marugame…read moreUdon, and since it was in the same shopping center, we decided to stop in. She mentioned Smoking Tiger is popular with several locations, so it was nice to try it. We ordered the Tiger Latte and Strawberry Matcha. Both were good, but nothing really stood out. We were hoping to grab a dessert to go with our drinks, but the bakery selection was pretty limited during our visit. Overall, a nice spot to stop for a coffee or matcha if you're in the area.

I saw there was one outlet located in the high top seats. Overall, this place is really good. I got the Ube cube and it was very flaky and the cream inside was very good. The ube matcha is also so delicious. I would definitely recommend coming to this place if you love Ube and Matcha. They also have a variety of other flavors if you're looking for something different.

Tapiochi is definitely the highlight of this boba shop! Super tender chewy jelly, have to try the…read morebrown sugar one. The black tea tapiochi doesn't really have any flavor but the brown sugar tapiochi has the distinct roasted taste, which adds more character to the popcorn milk tea. So I got the popcorn milk tea and I feel like that's the only thing I only want from them now. It's a strong toasty tea blend with rich creamy buttery popcorn flavor, tastes just like a cereal milk or almost like a corn milk! A small but cozy hangout spot with some minimal aesthetic decors, it was half packed with teens and adults around 8pm on a Sunday but plenty parking outside. Service was fast and nice. Only complain I have is that this small cup of drink does not really worth $9 to me. They do have some other interesting teas but the price is just little shocking to me.

I love the jellies at ToroTea. I think it tastes better than boba…read more The popcorn milk tea is a popular drink here, and I do think the buttery flavor is so interesting. But I think I prefer their teas. I like that the specialty ones include toppings already. Mulberry was a bit too sweet for me even though I got zero sugar. I prefer their roasted barley iced tea with osmanthus jelly. Drinks can be easily close to $10. Service is great! Queues can be long. Parking is easy. Bathroom available. Credit card/tap is accepted with no surcharge. I like to stop by when I'm in the area.

There are so many tea and boba shops opening now...startups or from Asia, and honestly most of them…read moreare disappointing. Some of the most popular and hyped-up shops have weak tea flavors, yet their wait times and sales are through the roof. Maybe it's placebo, maybe it's the hype...and today, I was invited to try ChaHalo's new Lychee Series, and these are my honest thoughts. (Also the shop is in a busy parking lot with lots of restaurants, stores, and grocery. The shop has very cushy chairs!) I tried all of the lychee drinks at 100% sweetness and tasted them immediately, as the ice started to settle, and again after the ice completely melted and am impressed that the flavors held up through each stage. I'd get them again except for the smoothie. Lychee Oolong Milk Tea: This was my favorite. It's milky with a pleasant sweetness, but neither the milk nor sweetness overpowers the oolong tea or lychee - the flavors were harmonious. The lychee adds just a tiny bit of tartness, while the oolong is fragrant without being too strong and they create a buttery flavor. Lychee Smoothie: This one was my least favorite, but mostly because I'm just not a huge smoothie person unless there's some creaminess to it. The smoothie also melts a little too quickly for my preference. There was a generous amount of house made lychee jelly, and I really liked it. The jelly didn't taste watered down at all. Every sip was smooth and pleasant, and the jelly added both a nice texture and an extra layer of lychee flavor. Lychee Jasmine Lemon Tea: This had a really nice sweetness, and again, the flavors worked well together. The jasmine tea was prominent, while the lemon was mild and added a pleasant fragrance without making the drink too sour. It also wasn't bitter, very light and refreshing. I want to point out: I actually hate the flavor of canned lychee. I love fresh lychee fruit, but canned lychee has a very distinct flavor that I personally don't enjoy. Canned lychee is used at probably almost every boba shop, so it's something to be mindful of when ordering lychee drinks. You should expect that distinct canned-lychee flavor rather than fresh lychee but depends on how the shop uses it. (same with longan) I think ChaHalo used it well. The lychee flavor was noticeable without completely taking over the tea, and the drinks continued to taste good even as the ice melted.

Unlike some boba shops where you have to wait in long lines just to order, there wasn't a long wait here, so it was easy to get my drink and be on my way.

I'll definitely be coming back!

Although there's practically no tables, it's more of a order and go type place. Most times I visited, I had absolutely no wait at all, although I heard that during peak hours it gets pretty busy due to how busy the plaza is. My wife and I visited during lunch on a weekend and it was no wait whatsoever. Easily placed our orders and it was about a 5-10 minute wait for our drinks, very nice overall. Staff is friendly and quick which is always nice to see for a tea shop. They have plenty of options to go around, usually they'll have a sample for you to try which is nice if you can't decide on your drink choice. I absolutely love the mango or lemon condensed milk series, it's a mix of yakult style drinks on top of a bit more of a gushy feeling when you're sipping. Mix that with a bit of kick and you have the perfect drink for a hot day. Absolutely recommend trying it. Overall, a well maintained shop, although can get really packed during the peak hours, it's absolutely worth checking their store out. Very high quality drinks, consistent across all San Chen locations and definitely my choice of tea shop whenever my wife and I are in the area.
