    After having lunch in the same shopping center we stopped by for some fruit tea. This as our first time here. They are located in the Country Square center closest to Cottle Rd. I was greeted when I walked in. There was only one employee behind the counter. I checked the menu out and decided to try the strawberry sunrise tea and the honey lemon tea. They were $6 each. They also offer food items like egg rolls, fish and chips, potstickers and mozzarella sticks. My order was ready within 5 minutes. Tithe young man helping me was very nice. There are several booths and tables inside for seating. They had 3 screen tv's on the wall and a claw machine. We thought the teas were just okay. They were not as good as some of the other fruit tea places around town, but they did the job. They were refreshing. I didn't think they were worth $6 each, but I'm glad I stoped by to try them.

    We got the brown sugar tea and the lychee and both taste ok. The place looked a bit run down and dirty. They definitely need a deep clean. Service was quick and efficient.

    It is a really nice Bobba place . They have some good options as well so it works perfectly well for everyone. I went here for Bobba mainly and got blue butterfly Bobba . It was rich in taste . Parking was easy and they give you. A punch card and once you get 9 drinks , the 10th one is free . So do make sure you got the punch card from them .

    Overall: 4.65778 stars! Sweet Potato Fries 4.7567 stars!

    "Mama, you didn't pack enough food. I'm hungry!!" Said my almost 10-year old when I picked her up from summer camp. Oops! I needed a snack, too, so I decided to check out Pure Tea. Service was quick and friendly! We both shared the Sweet Potato fries. Yum!! I had the Milky Way and she had the Mango/Strawberry Smoothie. Yay! We picked the right drinks! There are board games, a clawing machine with stuffed animals, and baby toys for entertainment. My daughter and I played Connect Four for about half an hour. Head-bopping music from the flat screen TV could be heard in the background. I was really digging the songs! We've never been here before! It was cute, cozy, and fun!!! Oh, and the boba drinks were delicious!!

    Pure Tea Bar has been one of my go-to places mostly because it's convenient, close to work, and more importantly, offers snacks as well. Boba is decently chewy. Snacks are okay. Drinks run on the sweeter side. The ambiance is small and cute. Lighting is a little bit on the dim side. There's a few TVs on one side of the wall playing music videos or a movie. The snack menu isn't up to date. I had ordered some spring rolls, but apparently, they don't actually offer that anymore. The service was pretty quick. Granted, I came when it wasn't busy.

    I had the Milkway bubble tea with Carmel & a Honey pork Bahn Mi sandwich. Went with 25% sugar, but forgot to ask for light ice so the tea tasted a bit watered down for my taste. And there was VERY little Carmel in the tea at all. The Bahn mi was solid, would have liked it to be filled more ingredients, because there were a few dry bites through out the sandwich, but otherwise the flavor was good. All in all I'd come back, I feel like portions/serving sizes matched up well to the price tags

    This is the closest boba shop near me so I had my fingers crossed that it would be good! I was pleasantly surprised and overall found it to be good boba tea. The shop is cute and has outdoor and indoor seating options. Their milk is dairy free which is nice and sweetness levels can be adjusted. We ordered their matcha rose milk tea, strawberry jasmine milk tea, and a custom oolong rose milk tea. I got 25% sweetness on my strawberry jasmine and I am glad I did because it was still too sweet for me. The oolong and matcha rose were wayy too sweet at 50%. Both tasted more like 75-80%. The strawberry flavor is tart fyi which I liked because it didn't taste too artificial, but my boyfriend did not like it. Their boba has a nice chew and honey flavor. The matcha rose was good but lacked matcha flavor. All in all, flavors were good just be carefully with the sweetness levels. I will be returning and am looking forward to trying other teas!

    I've been here before several times for boba. The boba is good, and I keep coming back. Although, it's pretty much just typical and what I expect to get. Nothing outrageously special. But it is good. However, today I am upping my review to five stars. Because their bahn mi is absolutely to die for. I got the #17 honey pork bahn mi. It's made with a 10-in French bread loaf, grilled pork, cucumber, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapenos, mayo, and soy sauce. I took one bite and I literally closed my eyes because the flavor was so good and I wanted to savour that moment. I initially came in just to have half a sandwich and save the rest for later, but I just could not stop eating this sandwich. Because it was so good. This is absolutely my new spot for sandwiches. And to think all this time I've been going across the street to Subway when this gem has been sitting here the whole time.

    This is my neighborhood tea place and I am a big fan! They have about 20 special combination drinks but also offer a good variety of tea and toppings for you to mix and match. The red dragon is a great option for a caffeine-free tea (I add fresh fruit bits). Mango sunshine is a great green tea option! Service is always good here and the employees are helpful! They also have a good variety of snacks and apps. They offer cute indoor seating with board games and music, or a small patio with outdoor seating.

    So, I live for coffee. I roast it, buy it, sell it, cup it, pack it, ship it, mix it, blend it…read more.. you name it. So when I travel, I'm usually hauling around an arsenal of brewing gear like some caffeinated survivalist. And yeah... I'm picky AF. I like what I like. So if you're gonna serve me coffee, it better show up dressed in a suit and tie. In this case, it absolutely did. I had to give the local spot near Grandma's house a shot. I walked in with crossed fingers and low expectations, but walked out with a satisfied palate, a smile, and an eagerness to visit again soon. This is NOT your run-of-the-mill coffee shop. They roast onsite. Real deal, Holyfield. I started with an espresso. Then a cortado. Then grabbed a bag of Yirgacheffe to go because I gotta see what else they got going on. . These guys clearly know what they're doing; and if they don't, they accidentally perfected it anyway. The espresso was balanced, clean, and intentional. Nothing hidden behind over-roasting or gimmicks. Just refined quality coffee handled correctly. I'm genuinely glad spots like this exist, and even happier one sits right here near my fam. Seriously, can't wait to visit again.

    My husband and I took a quick work coffee break and decided to drive over to Moonbeam Cafe. We've…read moreactually been here before and came back specifically because their coffee is genuinely excellent. This time, however, the experience was a bit mixed. The drinks were still top-notch--we really enjoyed them, and the Mediterranean bagel was also fresh and delicious. Quality-wise, they absolutely deliver. That said, the customer service unfortunately didn't match the level of the coffee. The cashier interaction felt curt and low-energy, and overall not very welcoming. When my husband asked about their most popular specialty drink, she mentioned the "Milky Way" and compared it to a Starbucks macchiato--which felt like an odd comparison for a specialty coffee shop that otherwise seems to take pride in its craft. More than anything, the interaction came across as disengaged and a bit uninterested, which stood out because places like this usually shine in both product and service. We'll likely still come back for the coffee and food, but I do think the service experience matters a lot--and this visit didn't quite meet expectations on that front.

    Though located in a small plaza with more than enough parking for its smattering of businesses,…read morePhin Cafe seems to be a decently popular spot that specializes in Vietnamese coffees, matchas, and small plate foods (bahn mi, pâté chaud, and musubis). Their coffee is really good; I particularly like their dine-in-only Phin drip cream-top coffee. Though it is a little pricy, it comes with its own little drip setup, your choice of type of cream, and a little pastry snack. I also like their refreshers, though I would recommend the lower sweetness option, but I wouldn't recommend their matcha. Their food options are also appealing--their báhn mìs are quite good, but their pâté chauds were already sold out at ~12:30 PM, which was a little disappointing. I hope to try more of their food and snack options in the future. I would say that their prices range from being relatively reasonable (particularly for the food) to a little pricy (for some of the drinks). The quality varies, but is overall pretty good. It's also a good spot to study or work, as it has free Wifi and a number of electrical outlets, but it isn't open particularly late. Overall, I would definitely recommend you give this spot a try, particularly if you like good, strong coffee with a snack. The service is friendly and fast, the interior is clean and aesthetically pleasing, and the bathroom is clean (though the paper towel dispenser was empty or broken today).

    The experience here used to be something special. About a year ago, I was a regular, and what kept…read moreme coming back was the freshness. The donuts were made to order, and I still remember the two young employees who worked there. They'd happily let you know it might take a few minutes because they wanted you to experience the product the way it was meant to taste. That kind of pride in what you're serving is rare, and it made a real impression. There's something different about that kind of enthusiasm coming from employees versus an owner. An owner has an obvious stake in selling you on something, but when the people making your food are genuinely excited for you to try it, that energy is contagious. You can't help but feed off of it. Fast forward to this year. My daughter loves coming here since we frequently visit the amazing Chinese restaurant next door (China Delight-highly recommend), so I've brought her a few times. Unfortunately, it's been a different experience. The donuts are always pre-made, and the focus seems to be more on cleaning and closing down than on having a fresh product ready for customers. To be fair, the staff is always friendly and I do appreciate a clean shop , but when I'm choosing between a spotless floor and a donut worth eating, I'd rather have the latter. I'll note that I usually come a bit after dinnertime, so maybe timing plays a role. But after a few visits with the same result, it feels more like a shift in priorities than bad luck. I genuinely hope this place finds its way back to what made it great. The bones are there. The location is great, the staff is kind, and clearly there's a customer base that wants to love this place. Bring back the fresh donuts and you'll earn those stars back!!

In addition to mochi donuts they sell hot dogs, coffee, and fruity tea. I was in the neighborhood so I stopped in for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. The shop was empty of customers; they must be busy in the mornings. They sell three donuts for $10.50, but they seemed to be out of quite a few flavors, so I ordered two chocolate and one Nutella. They are pre-made and stored in a glass case, unlike other places like Modo Hawaii that make them when you order. The donuts come in a nice box. They are large and dense and chewy, but weren't to my taste as I like them smaller and lighter, but that's just a personal preference. I'm not sure if I will go back, but I hope they do well at the Cottle location.

My friend and I ordered the guava matcha (with cream) and strawberry matcha and both the drinks were delicious. Most places I do to I usually like only 1 drinks and not both that I get but both of them were extremely delicious. For the guava matcha, I was slightly disappointed and taken aback that they charge more for the guava cream but usually most places include it in the drink already but I def recommend getting it. It is definitely on the pricier side with my drink being close to $10 but it's sooo worth the try. The cream was so thick and creamy and their matcha is incredibly smooth. My friend got the strawberry matcha and that was so flavorful as well. Most times when I order starberry matcha the flavor is bland but hers was reallly good. It was a little hard to sip it through the straw though because of the syrup. The server there was extremely sweet as well. I didn't catch her name but I think she had an eyebrow piercing (??
