With that being said, I'm almost positive the serving size you get for each order is normal/average, BUT i always have a large appetite, especially after a workout. This cafe is located within the gym. You can get a variety of foods such as sandwiches salads, noodle bowls, etc. You can also get a variety of smoothies, protein shakes, supplements, etc. They also have pre made meals that you can grab and go if you don't have the seven minutes it takes to prepare you meal. I ordered the soba noodle bowl with cilantro avocado slaw. It's a bit spicy but i'd say that spice is more for the flavor and not unbearable, i don't like spicy at all but i'll tolerate this. The noodle bole includes low mean noodles, peanuts, red pepper flakes and can add chicken for an additional charge. It's right around $9.00 and again, for the amount of food, i'd probably want to just go to a restaurant and pick up take out so i wouldn't be hungry after the meal.

Seating: Both inside and outside seating. Great for groups and patio seating outside to keep you dry. Vibes: It's in a plaza, maybe 10 minutes away from Downtown Birmingham. The plaza consists of restaurants, a gym, and a grocery store. The spot itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. A great place to hang out with friends or be friends. FOOD: Peppermint Boba (Recommend) A seasonal drink that was a pleasant delight. The peppermint wasn't too strong, it was well balanced with milk and the boba was chewy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The store opened and there was a rush of 3 customers. The kid in front took care of it well. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Great! This is a solid enough representation of boba so it's glad to be shared here in the Dirty South! The prices are reasonable, food is delicious, and I appreciated the range/variety they provided. For those craving a boba fix, be sure to check this place out! Shoutouts to Ashley and Tam Duong for bringing this delight to Alabama and best wishes to new owner, Hugo Anguiano, and his team on this business.

There wasn't line when we got there but the crowd usually follows us for some reason so by the time we left there was standing room only and a line out the door.

Coffee - I got a vanilla latte extra sweet (no lavender) and my daughter said it was one of the best. I thought it was pretty good. I would go again when back in Birmingham!

The young girl making the coffee was loudly talking about someone who messed up their coffee order this morning and how frustrated she was. The only other employee was occupied with what seemed a large order of bread etc. When she finished what she was doing she looked at the now five customers, claustrophobically waiting, and said I'll be right back and disappeared. Leaving the one guy serving the one customer. It was 11:30 am on a rainy day. Figured I could do without a cream cheese croissant and coffee and left. Had already waited 5 as the only other person in there and did not want to wait another undetermined amount of time. I know one of the bakers.

I ordered a Dubai croissant and a Yemeni tea. The croissant was filled to the brim with cream. It was delicious. I wish the pistachio was mixed a little more with the chocolate, instead of half and half however. It was still delicious. The Yemeni tea was amazing.
