Is it the best boba in the world? Nah. Is it the best boba if you so happen to be driving by and…read morehaving a last minute late night boba craving? Heck yeah! Everything was decent as far as the actual tapioca itself. 99.9% sure it's microwaved. Their boba balls are chewy and weren't undercooked, so that was key! The fruit they used tasted pretty fresh! This place has been here for a many moons so I knew it had to be at least okay. Glad I got to try it. However it was pretty pricey for one original size and large size were around 22.00. Chill vibes, friendly & prompt service and a good late night spot if you so happen to be in the area.

I ordered a toasted coconut truffle tea with boba. It was pretty bland, did not taste the truffle. The boba was chewy but tasted old. The staff was friendly and made my drink quickly. The drink was quite reasonably priced and I was surprised that the card reader did not prompt for a tip (this is quite unusual).

Great Whole Foods experience for us in the evening recently. This one has a great underground…read moregarage which was perfect given how hard it was raining. Rounding the corner into the garage was a little precarious given two-way traffic, but they do have a mirror in the corner for precautions. There were elevators up a floor to the main store. We went in around seven, so the hot bar and salad bar were a bit on the slim pickings side. However, I was still able to make a decent enough mediterranean salad and select a main. Some of the roasted potatos were slightly under done, but otherwise everything was great. We didn't interact with a ton of staff since they have self checkout at this location, but everyone seemed relatively low-key and friendly. It wasn't at all busy, but it could be that we were shopping late on a week night. Despite being in the city, this location still felt plenty spacious and well stocked with produce, refrigerated, and shelf stable items.

I was able to call and check if they still have the Mango Yuzu Chantilly cake in the smaller size I…read morewas looking for. They do and they asked if I would like to put it on hold since it's the last one. That was conscientious of their customer and I did ask and picked it up an hour later. The cake itself is ok. It's not as packed or dense as some cakes, I wished it was even more lighter though. The internal filling had the definite yuzu taste but not the frosting. Frosting also taste sugary and too sweet for my taste. I was expecting something more delicate as it is a chantilly cake. Cashiers are kind and friendly!

Me and my aunt got the cool cucumber energy tea, while my sister opted for the mint Oreo shake. At $6 per drink, it was cheap! I'm so used to paying at least $9 for such things. The cucumber was refreshing! So so good. The Oreo wasn't my thing but my sister really enjoyed it. The place was cute! Very modern. Also lots of pictures of weight loss transformations. Very cool! The ladies at the counter were nice and had our drinks our pretty quick. Would love to come back! One thing I'll add is that it's street parking. We had no trouble with that.

I was warmly greeted by the family and informed of the menu offerings.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in fitness or just looking for a refreshing drink.

Café with Turkish Sweets and Drinks…read more This café has plenty of seating and offers a variety of Turkish desserts, candies, coffee, and specialty drinks. I ordered the Ube Matcha Latte and a small knafeh to go. The service was excellent--the staff patiently answered all of my questions and made me feel welcome. Ube Matcha Latte (3.5/5 ) - I ordered it without ice, so I didn't get the beautiful color gradient I was hoping to see, but it still tasted great. I especially liked that it wasn't overly sweet. Knafeh (4/5 ) - This was my first time trying knafeh. I think it would taste even better if you eat it in the café, where it's served on a hot metal plate that keeps the cheese warm and melted. It has a unique texture--a chewy layer of melted cheese on the bottom, topped with grainy pancake like layer, then finished with crushed pistachios and sweet syrup. It was a fun and delicious dessert to try.

This caught me completely by surprise…read more My friend and I just wrapped up having dinner and were looking for a place we could enjoy a desert that was something other than the usual boring ice cream or cake. I looked up Google for ideas and came across the TAJ Coffee House which was only a few minutes away from where we dined. The photos looked impressive, but I had absolutely no idea what was to come. We walked in and were immediately greeted by Shams and Louai. Their warmth and great personalities made my friend and I feel instantly welcomed and valued. To the right of the shop, our eyes were drawn to a wall of gorgeous, colorful Turkish candies which were a mind-blowing experience to behold. This, plus an elegant, large, comfortable sitting area with sumptuous gray cushioned chairs, lovely chandeliers and beautiful decor set TAJ far and above any coffee house we have ever seen --- and we've seen many! When we walked to the counter, Shams and Louai were so helpful and accommodating as we asked questions about all the astonishingly beautiful pastries, cakes and candies in the glass cases before us. Everything in front of us was unbelievably appetizing to the eye and nearly all were items we had never seen before. My friend and I settled on a variety of "Turkish Delights" and "Turkish Sweets" to get out feet wet, and we loved each and every selection we ordered. We ate a pistachio baklava which was the finest we ever had. I also tried a cake which had a dark reddish glaze and was similar to tres leches but far superior. We also sampled a variety of candies and nougats that were transcendent. One candy, in particular, was rolled in dried, chopped rose petals and was my absolute favorite. I had to order a few more to take home. For drinks, we tried their lotus milkshake which was magnificent. The types of drinks TAJ offers is extraordinary. They range from various hot and cold coffees (including Turkish) to iced shaken espressos, matcha drinks, Turkish teas, Dubai chocolate drinks, frappe, smoothies, juices and glorious mojito-style concoctions. As mentioned earlier, my friend and I had no idea what to expect from this but came out of TAJ stunned by the spectacular offerings within. The flavors we encountered were unlike anything we ever experienced before, and we will definitely make the TAJ Coffee House a regular place to savor over and over again. Once more, special recognition must be given to both Shams and Louai. They are ideal ambassadors for TAJ Coffee House and need to be recognized for it. They provided wonderful customer service and were kind, professional, knowledgeable and welcoming. Perfection!

Tons of parking. Not sure what they plan on doing with that building cause it seems unfinished on the inside. Anyways, the restaurant itself is pretty spacious with lots of seating.

Whenever I get viet food, I like to interchange between combo pho and bun bo hue but I was feeling adventurous today so I got a different soup. I ordered the crab & shrimp tapioca noodle soup. Just what I needed!!! The broth is thicker than pho broth. The noodles resembled udon noodles just slightly thicker and chewier. Highly recommend and they open early too!
