Our drink order
Michele P.

Worth the hype!!!! Drinks were freshest in town and the sushi plate was as delicious as it looks!

Dubai Sushi

Came for the Dubai sushi set and it was honestly such a fun experience. Everything looks like sushi, but it's actually dessert -- the "wasabi" is pistachio cream and the "soy sauce" is chocolate. The cookies were chewy, rich, and not overly sweet. Also really liked the drinks. The cashier was helpful in recommending us drinks. The double matcha is strong (in a good way), and the pistachio latte actually tastes like real pistachio. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for something unique but still good quality. The store itself was sleek, clean, and modern. Would come back!

Great mochi doughnuts here and the packaging is one of the best I've seen. They have a variety of different flavors to choose from and they're a decent size as well. When i went they were doing a promo if you bought 6 you get 1 doughnut free. Each doughnuts around $3 after the promo so not bad. Definitely worth checking out!

While waiting for seating at Mr. BBQ, I noticed this newly opened café nearby. It's run by the same establishment, which is a great idea--especially for customers who want to grab a drink or dessert while waiting. The interior is beautifully decorated, and the shop is absolutely adorable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I ordered half a dozen mochi donuts and was offered one extra for free. I also tried the black sesame latte, which was delicious and wonderfully fragrant. Overall, it's a great addition and a perfect spot to stop by while waiting for a table.

Newly opened shop with very cute aesthetics. The place is very spacious with plenty of seating available. The teas itself were a bit disappointing as they did not have a strong tea flavor. The menu made the drinks look very enticing but they all fell a little short. I got the Mango Passionfruit Oolong, Guihua Osmanthus, Dan Cong Duck Sh*t Tea. Their teas are not very sweet so you'll have to go a step up from your usual sweetness. The boba itself was chewy if you decide to get it as an add on. Overall the drinks didn't taste harmonious, and it made the drinks all watered down. I also tried their mochi donut, and got their Toasted Hazelnut Almond. I wasn't expecting the caramel coating which made it sweeter than expected. The mochi dough itself was nice and chewy though, so maybe their other flavors would be good! Overall service was great! Staff were helpful and friendly. Again, great aesthetics, but the flavors did fall short.

Been to Mama Chai's twice and enjoyed both visits. Both times the parking situation has been frustrating, since the lot has maybe 30 spots and shares them with the KBBQ next door. On the second visit I did see three dedicated 15-min spots for Mama Chai's right in front. This is great for take out, but if you wanted to sit and work then you'd need to get one of the longer stay spots. Staff are very knowledgeable on the menu and do suggest trying different items (helpful for matching to my specific desires and also for upselling the customer). I did also notice that all of the employees were young and attractive, just a coincidence I'm sure but certainly contributes to the atmosphere. Both visits were driven by the desire for matcha, and here Mama Chai delivers. The matcha is first sieved and then whisked after hot water is added. The results is extremely smooth, no detectable grit, clearly high quality matcha. I've tried both the strawberry and lavender matches, and I lean towards the Strawberry overall. The strawberry has both large chunks of fresh strawberry as well as a strawberry puree. This presents a nice color contrast, and variation with some sips containing strawberry and some do not. Overall sweetness (we opt for no added sugar) was appropriate, and the bitterness from the matcha was balanced by the strawberry. The lavender comes from a concentrated syrup, and so it integrates well and every sip has the same amount of lavender flavor. I do find the first half to be enjoyable, but about halfway through the camphor flavor components seems to accumulate in my mouth and then becomes overpowering. The Lychee Dragonfruit Jasmine Tea is a solid fruit tea. It contains chunks of dragonfruit and lychee, with the latter contributing some sweetness to the drink. It also appears nice (for Insta and such). Every time there are mochi donuts available. These will be the first item you see immediately upon entry on the right, and they do call to me. The first visit I tried the Strawberry Shortcake. They are already made and so the sugar content is built in, and I find them to be tailored to an American palate rather than an Asian palate. They taste as sweet as they look.

The Jeju double matcha is fantastic. Strong matcha and very well balanced flavor. Not too sweet at 50% sweet. My favorite was the special Dubai sushi cookie they had on the weekend. Lucky that I happened to come on a day they are offering it (I guess only weekends for now). It's so cute AND tasty. definitely a fun little dessert to share! It's rich because they are very generous with the pistachio. Delicious! The drinks are made/brewed to order as well. Fantastic, cute little cafe!

Cute establishment with a variety of drinks. I can definitely appreciate the effort in the details of each item. You can tell they put effort into creativity and descriptions. Came here for the grand opening late in the afternoon. Biggest con is there is not a lot of parking since it shares a lot with a very popular AYCE kbbq restaurant. Had to park down the street and walk over. Idk if it had anything to do with the grand opening (maybe a little) since there wasn't a ton of people inside but when I'm looking for tea, I'm not going to work really hard to find parking. Hope it's not an issue long term for them! Overall the drinks were tasty. Still a bit sweet even 50% adjusted, but you can taste the difference tones for sure. I would recommend trying. It's a bit on the pricier side but the cups seem somewhat larger than normal and it seems just different enough from other establishments it would be worth a try! Didn't try their donuts, but they did look good.

The best mochi donuts and matcha. Always my spot when I come into town. The gentleman working the counter on 2/13 provided the best customer I've encountered in 2025 so far. We received this envelope for Lunar New Year as well.

Strawberry Matcha, Ube Dalgona mochi donut and 2 Dubai style cookies. One with strawberry and one without.
Allie M.

Wow just wow. Everything here exceeded our expectations. To start with the matcha was excellent and I'm not usually a matcha drinker. The worker was so nice and had great suggestions. The place was quiet and perfect for studying or a cute date. We came for the Dubai cookies that we saw on TikTok. They're marshmallow like texture on the outside and Dubai style pistachio kanafe on the inside covered in cocoa powder. 10/10 just amazing flavors and textures. The mochi donut took us by surprise too. The ube flavor was incredible and the mochi texture was on point!!!! I'm so glad this place is close by. I will be back!

Our group of six stopped by after kbbq to check out this new place. Their menu is delightful and their service is great. Their drinks are very tasty but the cost really adds up real quick so beware on that front.

Beautiful packaging!
Shannon P.

Finally got around to trying this place, and it was so CUTE inside! Took the kids for an afterschool treat and ended up getting a box of 6 mochi donuts. We got a 7th for free since we ordered the box. Donuts we chose were: toasted almond hazelnut, salted caramel coconut, churro, strawberry shortcake, cookie butter, matcha Oreo, and ube dalgona. All were yummy and only the white chocolate on the ube one was a bit too sweet in my opinion. We also had a strawberry matcha and a matcha milk tea. You can taste the quality in the matcha and I like that the drinks were not too sweet. The two girls working were very nice with good customer service. The aesthetic of the entire place itself was worth coming in. Very cutesy! Oh! And the packaging of the donuts was beautiful! You can tell that the owners really put thought and care into their products. We will be back again! Disclaimer: I do not know the owners or anyone who works here. This is an honest review from a mom who just loves matcha and likes to take the family for treats on a Friday.

Mama Chai's is an absolute gem! Stopped by for the grand opening, the staff went above and beyond to ensure the happiness of the guests ! The mochi donuts here are next level -- perfectly chewy with the most creative and flavorful toppings. There's always a great variety, so it's impossible to pick just one (I highly recommend trying a few). You can really taste how fresh and thoughtfully made they are. Their drink menu is just as impressive. From classic and unique milk teas to blended drinks and refreshing fruit teas, there's something for everyone. I love that they offer Asian-inspired flavors you don't see everywhere else. On top of the amazing food and drinks, Mama Chai's is Korean female-owned, which makes supporting this business even better. You can feel the passion and creativity behind everything they do. If you're looking for high-quality mochi donuts, excellent milk tea, and a cozy, welcoming spot -- this is it!

They mainly do drinks here, coffee or teas, but they also offer two paninis: turkey pesto or tomato caprese. I ordered an unsweetened matcha latte iced, and they offer alternative milks upon request. The bar is easily seen behind the glass so you can watch the staff make your order. Overall, the pricing is on par with most places in the area. My order took a while to come out but it's hand whisked when I ordered. I wish it was a little stronger since the flavor of the matcha didn't really come through compared to the milk. Also, the matcha isn't mixed well enough since it's separating quickly. I have to stir it again every time I want to drink. They have loyalty cards but do not offer them right away. You have to request one when you place your order.

Vaulted ceilings, green tiles, and exposed wood beams make it really pleasing to the eye. Parking is available in the Hub garage nearby, but it's limited. There's plenty of room inside to study, work, or talk with friends. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk. The matcha wasn't my favorite. I'm a matcha lover, and this one tasted more like the kind you'd find at Costco rather than ceremonial grade. I also noticed they keep it in a large tub. The color was light, and it was very sweet, almost like the powder already had sugar added. I'd still come back to try their coffee, and I'd love to try the matcha again if they decide to upgrade it.

However, today's visit felt different. We ordered our usual strawberry coffee drinks but they weren't pink. When I asked the barista about it she said the syrup has changed. The drinks barely tasted like strawberry and we were disappointed. I immediately regretted upgrading my size to 20oz too. SO I looked up other recent yelp reviews, and I saw that someone posted a picture of their drink 17 hours ago and it was still pink. That makes me question what happened to our drinks.
