What a cute spot! My friends daughter wanted boba so we came in this shop. Walking in we stumbled across some precious soft boba plushies and other cool snacks. Drink order was taking right when we entered and drinks were made in the back. We waited while playing with the magnetic buttons on the wall. Overall, my friends daughter enjoyed her boba drink, thank goodness this place was here read more

My review was removed but owner was very rude. Will not be returning or recommending. Bad service, mediocre beverages.

4 words: Hong Kong egg waffle!!! Soooo delicious! We got the berry one. Very nice employees too. Magnets on boards on the wall provided good entertainment for the kids too. read more

Cute little place.. but I definitely didn't get the correct drink I ordered. I ordered thai tea and matcha. When I asked if this was matcha. She said yes. I said isn't matcha green? (It looked like Milk tea or some kind of expresso tea) She apologized and said I didn't know you wanted the green matcha. The tea was really good though. read more

I went in on a Holiday Monday, they had just opened and I order a TARO piece of cake ? Not sure is like a roll with sweet cream inside. The bread itself was fresh , fluffy and good. The customer services was good, the place was clean , but as mentioned they had just open. read more

I go here every week and it's one of the best Boba I've ever had and the staff are so nice

We were walking around downtown and were looking for a hot beverage to enjoy in this cold weather. We stumbled upon Mendolasa. The cash register is located in the front. There was a small line and we looked at the menu in the meantime. Right away we noticed that none of the menus had any prices. We decided to go ahead and go with a matcha ginger latte. We sat at a table and waited and soon noticed that folks who had ordered drinks after us, received their's. We checked in and they said it was coming right up. We finally got our drink and it was grainy, very sweet milk. We were excited for a warm spiced drink and this was the exact opposite. We said it was too sweet and she said that's just the powder. We won't be coming back. read more

What a delightful spot! We happened upon it while visiting our favorite getaway place, Fort Bragg. The baked goods were absolutely delicious. Husband really liked the fresh baked brownies, and I have never had such a good peanut butter cookie. Visit and taste for yourself. read more

I am so glad I'm finally getting the chance to right this review- I came in last Wednesday and had a really great experience. The lady's working are SO nice and have great customer service. I got a honey dew milk tea with strawberry popping boba and my fiancé got a strawberry banana smoothly with boba. Charming little stop in the heart of Fort Bragg. One of the gals working offered us a couple free slices of day old pie, she had explained they had a lot left over still and it going to go out and give out pastries and cookies to the homeless. I think that is so awesome! The slices we got were cherry pies and they we absolutely delicious, the crust was flakey, fruit was just the right amount of sweet and tart at the same time. The inside seating area was really nice. The stores really clean and they had walls of magnets which I think was so cute. This is only my second time stopping here and the first time was actually during Covid when their inside area was closed off and they were only using the front serving window. But they were so nice the first time I came in I knew I had to come back, and I am SO glad I did. I'd definitely recommend stopping here if you like boba! :) read more

I REALLY wanted to like this place. The store is cool, the food and drinks all look good, and the staff are all nice. But, everything else was kinda bad. The menu was confusing, many things were on the menu even if they "weren't available yet", the drink menu was a jumble and made it hard to distinguish what drink was what, and there were no prices. W ended up ordering 3 milk tea bobas and a brownie. The milk teas were mostly milk. They were colored like Thai tea and brown sugar milk tea, but they mostly tasted like milk. Like little to no flavor. The brownie had probably sat in the window all day as it was mostly dried out. But the boba in the teas and perfect, so an extra star for that. I hope this was just an off day because it seems like they could be a good spot. read more

I come here every time im in fort bragg. The egg waffle is so good. All I have to say is anyone who is in fort bragg so try this place. Nice decorations and good boba. read more

The boba and food is spectacular, the service is wonderful, everyone is really nice . Me and my friends had to wait for our drinks for awhile but she gave us free brownies to make up for it. (Also we didn't think it was that long of a wait) The building is very clean and decorated nicely read more

Stopped by here with my partner for a nice drink. Asked the owner for a recommendation and she suggested strawberry and lychee. My partner got honeydew and we both had regular boba and lychee jelly inside. The honeydew was very refreshing and the strawberry lychee was so sweet and delicious. The boba inside was perfect! read more

We ordered pineapple milk tea and matcha green tea with a little sugar and ice. I was happy because the staff made sure the drinks were just how we wanted them. They were friendly, and the place was clean and nice, making our time there really enjoyable. read more

This stuff was so gross. I went to this cafe with my friends and we got the Thai tea and the frosted matcha. My Thai tea tasted like straight milk. I wouldn't be surprised if it was orange food coloring. I needed four sweeteners just to make it sugar milk. The matcha was also very subpar. The boba was definitely the kind that was frozen beforehand and made the texture very unpleasant. Don't come here unless you want to drink 7$ milk. read more

Cute cafe, ordered a smoothie and brownie. Smoothie was ok but brownie was very good, nice staff.

I go here often, it's good and consistent and it used to take awhile to get your drink but now it's much quicker

Cute place. Good coffee. Solid vibes. And a nice lady hard at work. The cappuccino and Frappuccino were both delicious and well balanced. The fresh baked goods in the window were very enticing, especially the Hong Kong Egg Waffle. read more

What a cute cafe! Had delicious coffee and hung out for a bit. There is quite a variety of teas and snacks available. Quite a lovely spot.

Loved the variety on the menu and very impressed with the range of flavors for the boba. Reasonably priced and the owner was friendly. Good music playing in there too it was nice. I like also they offer plenty of real filling food as well as snacks. read more

Good milk tea ! Lychee and lavender milk tea was refreshing. A little pricey but it's the only boba place for 25 miles, very cute and nice place. Owner is very friendly as well ! :) read more

The purple sweet potato boba tea is amazing! So many flavor options to choose from! My kids love the shop and all the cool candy inside. Cant wait to go back to try the bubble waffle! read more

We were standing at the order window for over ten minutes. The girl before us had been standing there for even longer. The boba was okay. I ordered Thai tea and I got milk tea that she said was "Thai tea". Long wait and messed up order. It was 14 dollars for two bobas. Find another boba place, this one isn't worth it. read more

Driving through Fort Bragg and decided to stop for a milk tea. This is a newer cafe in the heart of historic downtown. It has a fresh interior and tables to sit. It's typical counter service. In addition to made to order milk teas, they have plenty of sweets. I didn't see much as far as cafe type goods: scones, muffins, or the like. But the milk tea is typical : pick your tea, pick your flavor, pick your toppings/boba. They did offer a few different "milks": non dairy, oat milk, almond milk. Pro tip: milk tea is usually 50% or more "milk product". If you want more tea, order it light milk. I was also able to ask for no sugar/sweetener. Yay! Prices are typical for a tourist town: a couple dollars more than your milk tea in frisco. read more

Awful milk tea.. kids at the counter take the orders but are clueless about their milk teas. Asked few questions such as, is the Okinawa milk tea green or black tea, answer was "I don't know".. I asked what is the crema like? Answer, "I don't know, it's a flavor", lol. Then they make the actual milk tea not knowing what goes in it.. I had really low expectations but thought it couldn't be that bad.. but it was, unfortunately. The jasmine milk tea had no sweetener at all and tasted like non dairy creamer and water. The Okinawa milk tea had a layer of Granulated Sugar on the bottom mixed with the boba... took a couple of sips, we left both of them there. Waste of $. read more

The lattes were basically weak coffee with some foam on top. One of the worst I've had in a long time. Very amateur.

I like the atmosphere, good coffee, and nice interior. This is a good place to study or chill with friends. The boba drinks and goodies were all tasty and worthwhile. Very nice and patient employees that work hard and try to make drinks and give good service to customers. I recommend the Tiger milk tea known as (Brown sugar milk tea) boba or a honeydew with green apple popping boba. I like there are so many different choices and great snacks! :) read more

Was passing by the area and my kids saw this cute store and decided to drop by to get some drinks. Love their boba drinks and they have a wide of variety of snacks inside to choose from. read more

OMG what the f??? I got two Thai iced teas and it was so sweet and full of condensed milk that it tasted like condensed milk and water! The there was no tea taste. Also charged me 5.99 when menu said 4.50 which is shady. Avoid at all costs!!! read more

Was not a fan at all of this place. I ordered a strawberry milk tea with boba. The drink tasted like pepto bismol and thick like it too. I would be unsurprised if they poured it straight from the bottle. The lady was also very rude. Yuck yuck yuck threw the drink away after one sip read more

We stopped in yesterday as we saw they had bubble waffles, but learned they are usually just for weekends. Seeing our disappointment the owner offered to make them special for us for today. We ordered some macaroons in the meantime. We highly recommend them- chewy and lightly carmelised, and she even sneaked an extra into our bag. We went back today to get our waffles at the time we we had arranged. She was ready for us and had our warm bubble waffles ready to go along with a lovely cup of freshly cut fruit. It was wonderful- chewy and sweet, a perfect treat. I notice that some of the reviews here have been less than stellar, but our experience suggests otherwise. The owner was extremely kind and we found her delightful- and her food was as well. read more

Walking down Main Street in Fort Bragg and we noticed the Boba sign...and we were craving for Boba. We ordered the avocado "shake" (which didn't turn out to be a shake) and tiger milk tea. My tiger milk tea tasted a lot like brown sugar milk tea, super sweet but good, boba was soft and chewy. The avocado shake was powdered milk tea, was not blended with ice after my friend verified that it was the blended drink they were ordering, they also had the boba. I say Skip this place if you really want Boba. read more

Been going there since it opened its good I always buy tiger milk which I personally really like from over here service is always slow but thats not an issue with me and the lady running it is always nice if not a bit awkward a nice little shop for a small town read more

Stopped to get Thai tea was greeted and ordered. Took about 15-20 minutes for two teas. When she came back to take our card she threw it back down. I'm usually pretty understanding and patient with service workers but she was extremely rude. We also were given milk tea or some kind of other tea when we ordered Thai and when I tried to ask about it she just dismissed me and said it was Thai tea. We're frequent Thai tea drinkers and it didn't even barely taste like Thai tea. Overall it was a waste of money and time. read more

Takes way too long to get your order! Tea was bitter, boba dry and crunchy. Also the woman running it wasn't even in the shop, she was down the street and came running after she noticed she had a customer. Who leaves their shop unattended during business hours? If you just HAVE to have boba, know that this is not a good representation of what a real boba shop would serve. With a number of other shops to get drinks within a block or less, I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

It was okay boba wasn't that good, lady was kind of rude but we never know what a person is going through so I wish that lady is doing well.

super expensive, not very good boba awkward atmosphere as well. girl at the cashier wasn't very welcoming either

okay. this place has AMAZING drinks. i dont get why people say the owner is crazy. they are both extremely nice. just because someone has an accent doesnt make them bad. please be decent human beings. this place is amazing and i love there boba so much read more

This is exactly what Fort Bragg needed, the energy is great, the drinks are delicioso, 10/10 recommend!!
