I came to the cinema to see the live BTS concert and arrived really early, so I took the…read moreopportunity to find a place to sit and enjoy some cookies or coffee. I stumbled upon this place called Gangnam Signature, located inside the mall right next to the movie theaters. The mall is absolutely packed today--I'm not sure if it's because of the World Cup--and the downstairs food court was way too crowded, so I decided to stay here and give this place a try instead. I bought a soft matcha cookie--I think it's topped with melted marshmallow--and paired it with a cappuccino. The cappuccino is excellent. The prices are a bit higher than what you'd usually find at a coffee shop, but this place is definitely worth it. The customer service is excellent. At the end, they asked if I enjoyed everything I had, and I gave them my feedback. The place is spotless. They have booth seating as well as standard tables. Today, there was someone handing out samples in front of the shop--croffles. They're like waffles but crunchier, served with honey or syrup and powdered sugar; they were delicious, too. Congratulations to the whole team. Blessings, and I'll definitely be back!

I had a caramel macchiato with almond milk and yes, there's a surcharge to swap the milk. It was delicious. My daughter had the pistachio creme latte and it was a bit too sweet for my liking especially in the morning. She loves it though. My only gripe is the pricing. My coffee is over $8 for a really small cup. I don't so mind the price if I'm getting more in quantity but gosh $20 for our drinks is steep.

Our group order included two hot honey lavender lattes, 1 hot golden latte, and 1 hot earl grey matcha (my go-to order). When I got to the coffee shop, the drinks were ready for me in a cup holder for easy carry out. I noticed an ube tres leches in a nearby cold case, so that ended up coming back with me to the office. I love Thumbody - great drinks, tasty pastries, friendly peeps, vibrant environment, and a chill vibe. Highly recommended!

This shop is such a comfy space to sit, relax, study, or read. I stopped in for a black cold brew and a savory breakfast pastry ball. The pastry has good flavor but it was a little dry. The cold brew was not bitter, but it had a grounded aftertaste that I did not enjoy. Next time I find myself in Paramus, I'll have to try one of their specialty drinks and yummy desserts instead! Their ube banana pudding and tres leches sound so good!

The texture of the sticky rice is more wet due to the drink, so the chew may be off putting but still very easy to drink. Would love to come back and try their other well known drinks - like the Black Sesame Cream Hojicha Latte or Very Wicked Matcha.

They offer a great variety of drinks, ice cream, and delicious "croffles" (croissant waffles). I absolutely love their Hong Kong-inspired desserts! When I visited, there was only one person operating the cart, which meant there was a slight wait. However, she was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and worked as fast as she possibly could to get through the orders. I tried the monthly special, the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha, and while it sounds like an unusual combination, it absolutely works! The taste and texture are wonderful. While I do wish they offered their classic bubble waffles at this specific cart location, everything else was fantastic. I know they have a larger shop in Fair Lawn but I really hope this Paramus popup sticks around as a permanent fixture. I will definitely be back soon!

I really love it, and what I love even more is the little chocolate they give you right on top of the coffee, shown in the pictures.

I would highly recommend stopping by and trying this coffee spot out.

I visited Paper Street Coffee with my family for some post-lunch drinks. The place is small, but…read moreit's got some seating. I ordered a black coffee while my brother opted for cold brew and my sister got a Milspresso. My black coffee was good. Not bad, but nothing that stood out to me either. It was a solid cup. I'd get it again. I tasted my brother's cold brew and it was not so good. Not terrible, but not great either. I feel like it lacked body and was just kind of watery. I'm not really too big on cold brew but I wasn't really a fan. My brother almost exclusively drinks cold brew and he said it was just alright. I didn't really like my sister's Milspresso either. I believe it was supposed to have some Milo mixed with espresso so I was expecting it to be somewhat chocolate-y and sweet but I didn't really get that. It wasn't a terrible drink but I wouldn't get it again. Maybe we didn't get the right things. Taste is subjective after all. I like the look of the place and some of their other drinks sounded nice. The pastries looked pretty good too, I'd come back to try some.

Luckily, I…read morelive in one of the best parts of the state--about 9 miles away from NYC--so I can just hop on a bus and have access to more options! Anyways... I still like to shoot my shot with places around here because ya never know when ya might hit the jackpot. I found BTX Cafe on Yelp. The interior is small and simple, but beautiful! It's bright, with tons of natural light, and has a modern, minimalistic Japanese-inspired design with light wood furniture and neutral colors. There's also wifi and outlets, which is always a win. The menu is a mix of both coffee and bubble tea, with the usual favorites: milk teas, fruit teas, slushes, espresso, and cold brew. Prices are a few dollars lower than most other cafes, which is definitely a huge plus. I'm not into overly sweet drinks. I prefer a very strong tea flavor, so I order mine with the lowest amount of sugar possible and light ice. The staff is friendly, and they make drinks pretty quickly. What I tried... MILK TEAS: Pearl Milk Tea ($5.25) Oolong Milk Tea ($5.25) These were a big thumbs down. They were wayyy too milky, and the tea flavor barely came through. I was disappointed. FRUIT TEAS: Passion Fruit Green Tea ($5.75) Mango Green Tea ($5.75) Lychee Oolong Tea ($5.75) The fruit teas were better--refreshing, with a stronger tea base. The oolong was toasty and nutty, and the jasmine green tea was sweet and floral. As for the fruity flavors... I don't think they use real fruit puree like some other boba brands. The passion fruit and mango tasted similar and I almost couldn't tell the two drinks apart. Both lacked that signature tangy, tropical kick and tasted more like artificial syrup. Thankfully, the tea helped even it out. Out of the three, the lychee oolong was my favorite. It was the most balanced! The tapioca pearls were actually the highlight-perfectly chewy, bouncy, and soft. Your taste buds might enjoy their drinks, but mine didn't love them. A bit of a letdown since the prices are lower than its competitors, but maybe that affects the quality. I liked the lychee oolong tea enough to come back for just that. Perhaps the coffee is better? The hunt continues...
