We found a table upstairs and were able to people watch. This place was busy! Many customers stayed to enjoy their coffee. The front window table had a group enjoying afternoon tea. Ruby's Tea Room had the front of the shop. While Arusha's baristas were in the back. If I lived in Belton, I would have a difficult time staying away.

We ended up getting spam musubi (one spicy and one not spicy), a bulgogi kimbap, a taro smoothie, and a barista's fave smoothie (dragon fruit, lemonade, and something else... I don't remember). I remember thinking the bulgogi kimbap was delicious and fulfilling. I loved the pickled radish in it. It tasted fresh. Also really liked the spam musubi. The sauce was excellent on it, although a little messy, but that's ok. Would love to come here again and try some other items on the menu.

Of course got my Hojicha (hot) with oat milk and 25% sugar, no boba. It was perfect. It was a little drizzley out and I was stopping to check on my tire situation (no flat!) Had to get a green onion pancake, you just can't resist. This is the quintessential Taiwanese snack, (any-time-day savory snack) that just brings back childhood memories for me. The crispy crunchy outer layer was perfect and before you take that first bite, light dip in the sauce... or doesn't need the sauce, it's that good. Amazing selection of drinks + savory snacks + chill atmosphere... what could be better?

Milller's Smokehouse serves up some killer smash burgers!…read more My family enjoys hunting for great Texas BBQ. We have completed the 2017 and 2021 TX Monthly Top 50 BBQ list. We started the 2025 list and we are more than half-way through the list as of June 2026. Heading to the spots in West Texas takes some logistical planning, patience, and lots of gas for the drive from the Texas Gulf Coast. On our recent BBQ quest to West Texas,we drove home via Fort Worth from Amarillo with our eyes set on hitting one of the most consistent BBQ joints in Central Texas, Miller's Smokehouse in Belton, TX. This was our fourth time to visit Miller's. Unfortunately, Miller's Smokehouse had a surprise overnight fire late February 2026. That hasn't stopped them from feeding the community great food from a mobile trailer. They had an abbreviated menu of the BBQ staples like brisket, chicken, pulled pork, pork steaks, and St. Louis Style Ribs, and assorted sandwiches and sides. Generally, I'm a Texas Trinity traditionalist. But we he had our fill of brisket, ribs, and sausage on our West Texas journey. Instead, we jumped at the Smash Burgers! First time for us and they made a favorable impression. My wife had the Single Smash. My son and I had the Double Smash. Of course we had to try the tallow Fries. Wow! Homemade buns, oversized patties, cheese, with a smattering of pickles and burger sauce. We destroyed those burgers. Compliments to the kitchen staff cooking up some great food. The tallow Fries, seasoned with just the right amount of salt were a perfect crisp while being soft in the center. Don't cheat yourself - try the Fries. We arrived around noon and there was a very short line at that time. Parking is easy with ample parallel parking and free lots close by. The staff took good care of us. It was a bit warm but they had shaded picnic table seating with plenty of fly fans at the table to keep the critters from buzzing to nibble at your food. Before we left, we inquired about nearby restrooms to wash-up before we got back on the road. We were directed across the street to Muscovy Coffee Roasters across the street. It turns out that Muscovy is Miller's upscale sister coffee house that opened days before the February fire. I could not help but notice the spacious seating area that was packed. Nor the rich roasted coffee wafting through the air. They also serve an interesting menu of breakfast items and homemade Kolaches. Got to go back for coffee and Kolaches next time. By the way, the restrooms were Buc-ee's clean+. This is the fourth time we visited Miller's Smokehouse. Hat's off to the pitmasters and staff at Miller's Smokehouse for their perseverance. We'll be back after they open the revitalized restaurant. Hoping to meet Dusty the next time.

Pretty alright. There was not that much salmon but the bowl presentation was great. Oshinko seemed a bit more on the mushy side than I'm typically used to. A bit of fishiness from the seaweed salad but other than that pretty good. JP Matcha with Boba - the tapioca is a bit on the more mushy side. My friend got some Boba and it was really mushy. Mine was just a little mushy with a little bit more firmness in the center. Didn't really taste like matcha but it was alright. VIBES - the restaurant is connected to the next-door place, which has some table seating. The place is pretty crowded with families and friends eating. Lighting from window is great. SERVICE - service was ok. The person taking order didn't seem too too friendly and it took a bit for the order to come out but not too terrible.

Google will get you into the right area, but you'll have to go through a pizza joint's seating area and head towards the big painting to access the entrance. What a cool experience! Walking in, you're immediately transported to a dark, eerie and ominous yet welcoming room. A full bar on the left? Bookstore with seats on the right? Wow yes please! I went to visit the bar and was impressed by its selective, but adequate spread of options. I ordered a summer spritz and went to go look at the books available. I love how they section off into the different genres while adequately having a good seating area. If you're in the area to explore, this place is it for some good reads and studying. Nice dark but appropriately enhanced environment for some quiet time!
