    Matcha latte with boba

    My go to spot for their matcha lattes. Their matcha is strong, which I enjoy. Plus, great, quick service.

    I got their House Milk Tea and it was delicious and the boba was chewy and not hard and their staff was very friendly and nice.

    09/25/2024 Finally, a new boba place is now open. Soft Opening so please be patient as they fine tune things. The boba is soft and the matcha powder is strong. Right amount of milk and ice. I like trying the drink before i Shake things up. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter. They have a QR code to order online. Please excuse the person who was first to review. It may be a chain but I think you can say it is franchised. Individually owned with the same concept for service. That means some training to get the employees up to speed and practice to get the service you saw at another location. I do Hope they let me know when they have their Grand Opening so i could participate. I wonder if I could camp out here to work remote or start a study group.

    Shoutout to Lupe O. For always making our visits so pleasant and having such great customer service and a smile on her face. I've been to 3 different boba times and they could never make my bfs boba drink the way he likes aside from this location so this is always our go to! This location is just amazing if I can give more than 5 stars I would and it's always so spotless and clean.

    If I could put 0 stars I would!!!!! The worker had a nasty attitude there was 2 men at the time of my visit! There was one doing the drinks and one being a cashier he completely had the worst attitude and worst customer service ever! I sincerely hate when people have a nasty ugly attitude towards customers because if you didn't want to work today why even show up? Some people take their hard earned money to try and treat themselves the man being a cashier was talking to me like I was stupid!! He needs to get fired Asap!!!! To top it off that they put my drink in an open lid container this is so crazy! I'm currently sitting outside in the parking lot writing this review! Extremely disappointed Do not come here!!!! He looked so mad doing his job and he went to the back to help the other man make drinks i will not be consuming this knowing that man did everything with a nasty attitude! DO NOT COME HERE

    Large caramel frappe and a Butterfly Lemonade so delicious!!!

    TL;DR: this is THE best place to get an acai bowl in the area. No limits on toppings, delicious and…read morefresh ingredients, cordial and prompt service. Writing this review because after being sorely disappointed from another acai bowl, this perfect bowl was soooooo satisfying. I like that they layer in the granola on the bottom and the top, because it acts as an insulator that helps keep the bowl frozen longer! The fruit was ripe and sweet, the honey and agave drizzled on top of all types of coconut (raw, sweetened, toasted, shredded), and bee pollen. The service is polite, friendly, and efficient. The spot is small but looks modern and clean. Parking lot is a bit chaotic, but it's in a plaza so you can park on the other side that has lots of space and walk over!

    We've been coming here for years now and I wish I had written a review before our most recent…read moreexperience because everything deserves 5+ stars! Until the last 3 weeks, visiting multiple times in the afternoon and there are limited items available and "sold out" signs. Each time we asked, why is the majority of the menu "sold out"? - we were told "we ran out of bananas". We understand that this might happen once in a while but for 3 weeks in a row are we just happening to stop here when they run out or they are running out everyday???? Either way, if this is a repetitive thing, why not adjust daily inventory of bananas so you aren't running out most days with more than an hour until closing??? We were really sad about this and to think we had to write this, but seems like such an easily fixable problem that shouldn't be persisting. We actually love açaí joint so much that we really have to go out of our way to get here. For it to be a waste of time is really disappointing and if we have to assume the majority of the menu is not available, we will probably just skip going there from now on and that's sad.

    I really do enjoy coming here and I cannot believe it took me this long to write a review. I go…read moreback and forth between ordering it here or on the app and either way, the bowls have been consistent no matter what size is ordered. I enjoy that the ingredients are fresh and I have not been disappointed with my selections. I usually order the buttah lova, sunset bowl, or the coconut dream. I feel equally full when I order these. The ambiance is relaxed and clean and the customer service is friendly. I have yet to stay and eat a bowl there, but I definitely want to.

    2 stars -- Disappointing visit this time…read more I've been here a couple of times before and have generally had good experiences, so unfortunately this visit was pretty disappointing. When I arrived, there were only two staff members and both were busy preparing other orders, so I ended up waiting quite a while just to place my order. I tried ordering through the app instead, but it wasn't working, so eventually I asked a staff member to help me place the order. I then had some confusion when ordering my usual yogurt/fruit bowl. One of the staff members told me that they couldn't make it as a yogurt bowl without charging me the price of a regular bowl. I was confused because I've ordered the same type of bowl here multiple times before without being charged that way. The staff member initially gave me a hard time about it, although I do appreciate that they eventually apologized and checked with another staff member, who helped resolve the issue. The bowl itself was prepared fine, but unfortunately the overall quality of the fruit wasn't great this time. The fruit just didn't seem as fresh or as good-quality as it has been during my previous visits. I'm giving 2 stars because I've enjoyed this place before, but between the long wait, the initial customer service experience, and the quality of the ingredients this time, I left feeling pretty disappointed. I'm not sure I'll be back to this location.
