The service is fast considering the presentation of each drink! My go-to whenever I'm in the Bay! :)

Short review since we usually do online orders…read more We usually order ahead online since it gets very busy. Whether it's a weeknight or weekend, they're always busy! I'm glad they have a large selection of drinks because that gives a lot of different options depending on what you're craving. I also appreciate that they have non-caffeinated options since there are some days we want a drink at night. When there's a lot of people, it gets super crowded inside and it feels a little cramped especially in the summer and they ask to keep the door closed when the AC is on. We usually wait outside or in our car. Overall, we love coming here since it's nearby and we've never had any issues with our drinks!

The shop is on the smaller side but has a few tables if you want to sit and enjoy your drink. It was still a little warm inside, but definitely much more comfortable than being out in the heat. One thing I appreciated was the large screen that shows the status of your order, so you always know where you are in the queue. Our drinks took a little over 10 minutes, but they were worth the wait. The brown sugar flavor was rich and delicious without being overly sweet. The boba had a nice chew to it, slightly firmer than I personally prefer, but still very good. I was also pleasantly surprised by the cup size. It's comparable to some of my favorite boba spots, yet comes at a more affordable price. With so many great places to eat in this shopping center, I know we'll be back, and this will definitely be one of our regular stops whenever we're in the area.

Of their drinks on the menu, white champaca, white champaca oolong, dancong, white champaca matcha are the top drinks I cycle through.

However, I have not seen it on the menu since March. Hopefully they'll bring it back. They now have order online via their website (chowbus), and I recently learned that they have an app. This makes ordering drinks at this location easy since it is located in corner strip mall with minimal parking.

I was lucky to receive their limited-edition Sip into Thailand sticker and knitted bag during the first week of their promotion. They're too cute to use. The staff were busy making orders nonstop when I arrived after 2 pm. Lots of seating inside this spacious and clean store since most people pick up. The merch display section was like a Duty-Free shop at the airport. The parking is really small and located on the busy corner of El Camino Real.

Jr's Urban Eats is an exciting new sandwich spots in the area. From the moment we walked in, Jr himself welcomed us with such genuine hospitality and made the whole experience feel warm and inviting. You can immediately tell this is a spot built with passion and pride. I ordered the Urban Classic for myself and the Zesty Zeus for my wife, and both sandwiches absolutely delivered. The bread had the perfect crunchy exterior with a hearty, satisfying bite that elevated every mouthful. The flavors were bold, savory, zesty, and incredibly comforting, while the signature urban sauce tied everything together perfectly. Every ingredient tasted thoughtfully balanced and packed with flavor. It's always special finding a new local business where both the food and the people leave an impression. Jr's Urban Eats definitely deserves the attention, and we'll absolutely be back to work our way through the menu. read more

Got a double doughburger without pickles and a chocolate milkshake with no whip. The self-order kiosks were convenient, and the wait was just ten minutes on a Sunday evening, everything made fresh. That burger was saucy, juicy, and delish! And the bread was soft, reminiscent of Shake Shack's burger buns which I actually like. The milkshake was the perfect sweet treat, thick and creamy with a strong chocolatey flavor (similar to Dreyer's brand ice cream). I'm a fan of this burger spot and will definitely be back.

I can't believe Omega is only rated about 3.5 stars right now…read more This place is a classic, breakfast diner. It's the kind of place where the employees have been there a decade or more (I presume they treat them well) and if you're a regular - I'm not - they not only know you and your order, but they even know your families. Service is outstanding. On my most recent visit, we had our server, the busser/food runner, and the hostess all try to take our drink orders within a couple minutes. Prices - well they're going up like they are everywhere, and Omega has gone from being budget friendly to a bit pricey, but it's worth it. And most importantly, the food is delicious!!!

My wife had their Clubhouse Sandwich with fries and our oldest son enjoyed the Chorizo Omelette, Hash Browns and a Pancake. As always the food was delicious and filling. I got a take-out container and so did my wife. The amount of food they serve is too much for the two of us to finish. However, our son had no problem finishing his meal. The service is always quick and the staff are friendly. We only waited about 5 minutes to be seated, which was awesome. The wait on Mother's Day was a bit longer, but they get to everyone as soon as they can. The decor is a bit dated, as is their furniture. However, we aren't worried about it. We know we're going to get good food and healthy portions. Parking is plentiful in the lot. They do share it with other businesses, but we've never had an issue finding a spot to park.
