The tea itself is consistently fresh, and you can really taste the quality in their milk teas. The brown sugar boba is especially good -- perfectly chewy with just the right amount of sweetness. The menu has a nice variety of flavors, from classic taro and matcha to fruit-based teas, so there's something for everyone. I also appreciate that you can customize sweetness and ice levels to get it just how you like it. The shop has a cute, cozy vibe that makes it a great place to hang out or catch up with friends. Service has always been friendly and fairly quick, even when it's busy. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that wait times can get a little long during peak hours, and seating can be limited. Still, it's absolutely worth the stop if you're craving quality boba in the area. I'll definitely keep coming back!

Buttery batter and fluffiness of a croissant in the shape of a waffle with whatever toppings you want. They have a variety of flavors for people who like it plain, honey, chocolate, fruit, etc. Their boba is also very good. Some might think it's just sugary milk with some tapioca balls, but there's is spot on for someone who has the nostalgia of a good milk tea boba. Cups aren't flimsy which is a bonus for all drink lovers and the inside atmosphere was inviting with games, plenty of seating, and clean bathrooms.

They also have so lunch type options rice, noodles, entrees and Korean croffles which seem like a Korean waffle pastry kind of thing. I got a mango boba tea and the pad Thai with chicken. I could hear him cooking it and could smell it. I had high hopes. It came out in about 5 mins with my tea. Seemed like a small portion. Swimming in sauce and a bit of chicken. Looks were disappointing. Started to eat it and it hot and had lots of noodles but was salty and a lot of sauce. Too much. Mango fruit tea was good. Overall for price and reviews I thought it was just meh. Not a lot for my overall $22 spend with tip. I'd try someplace else.

There are constantly free events to promote the space as a third space with no pressure to have to buy anything; however, the drinks and local art are well worth it!

They don't play music way too loud like so many joints do and the employees are always pleasant. They sell a lot of local art and there is always something unique and fun to check-out.

I have been there dozens of times and have NEVER had a drink that disappointed me. I love bringing friends there and it's always the first place I recommend when people wanna get coffee.

Service was super friendly, helpful and patient. The young lady took her time to answer all our questions. Place was clean and the tables by the window let the natural light in. There were more tables in the back. There's street parking as well as paid parking. We will definitely be back here

I stopped in for coffee finally after having driven by so many times and thank goodness I did!

I ordered the honeysuckle latte over ice - it was a spring menu item that had both honey and lavender flavors together. It was refreshing and creamy, yet retained the essential coffee flavor coming through. I can't believe it took me so long to get here - but I will make sure I don't wait that long again.

Their hours are pretty limited (at the time of this review, they are only open Wednesday and Thursday, 7 am until noon, and Friday and Saturday, 7 am until 2 pm), but it's super close to my house so we are usually able to get there during those times. The parking lot for this shared building can get a little congested with the Starbucks drive through, so be prepared to be patient, or just park on the side street. They are super quick with making and topping your doughnuts, or you can place an order online. I prefer the fruity options, while Nate usually goes for something chocolate/coffee. The "Classics" are your basic doughnuts (sugar, glaze, frosting), while the "Creations" are specialty doughnuts like strawberry cheesecake, coffee crumble, cookies and cream, raspberry oreo sweet cream, etc. The combinations are all delicious and sweet! I usually prefer yeast doughnuts for their fluffiness, but a freshly fried cake doughnut at Bro's Doughs is elite. They are small, but big enough to share for a sweet treat. I'd say they are about 3 bites each. Plan to take your goodies to go, as there isn't really any space to dine in.

This is a really neat concept. There are soooooooooo many flavor options to choose from, some seem very similar to each other. It was really hard to choose. But dang, are they good. One that I got was a bit too sweet for me, but I think you could certainly get a general idea looking over the menu what ones would be less sweet. Customer service was great, inside the shop was great, food was great. And it was close to work - Bonus! I'll be back and I've already spread the word!

The space is large and decorated nicely compared to the other spots I've been. Our group of four had a bit of a wait (10 minutes) when we arrived around 6:30 on a weekday. They seemed a little understaffed and were only utilizing a small part of the whole restaurant for seating. Our friends are regulars so they guided us on ordering and mixing up our sauces, which was really helpful. Our server was super kind and went through the menu options with us. It's all you can eat and they'll just keep bringing out more items throughout your time. Our server was really good about checking in with us. For hot pot you choose your own broth flavor for your personal hot pot - I went with the Szechuan which was spicy and numbing. I really liked it! Nate got the mushroom, which he said was just okay. I'd recommend starting with a bunch of items all at once. The meats are very thin cuts and cook quickly in the broth. We also got an assortment of veggies, dumplings, and my favorite, the udon noodles. The menu gives cooking times for each item which is helpful. Your price includes all you can eat hot pot or Korean BBQ - you can do both for an extra $6 or so. I honestly think I prefer hot pot to Korean BBQ, it's a little easier and more forgiving of a cooking method. I thought the options were nicely varied, and you get access to the sides/dessert buffet, with salads, kimchi, chicken feet, fries, egg rolls, etc. and the sauce bar that has tons of options! They also have a full bar and serve sake, soju, boba, etc. I really loved this spot and thought the service was by far the best of the hot pot places I've visited in the area.

Only the person that wants it will be billed for it. Cons: hot pot is pricey, but prices are the same as other restaurants. Not as big of a selection of appetizers/hot food bar compared to other restaurants. If I did Hot Pot, I would likely choose this place. It's gorgeously decorated, our waitress, Anisia, was so lovely, attentive, and helpful -and the food was delish. It's different from other restaurants in that it didn't have a 2-hour time limit and if my husband wanted hot pot, I didn't have to pay for it as well. The only downside is there wasn't as big of a selection on the cold/hot bar. But everything else was great and it is my new preferred location!
