I was scrolling through TikTok looking for a good tea spot when I came across HeyTea, and…read more"obsessed" is honestly an understatement. I ordered the Guava Jasmine Tea, and it was chef's kiss. As a self-proclaimed guava connoisseur, I'm usually turned off by artificial guava flavoring, but this tasted incredibly fresh and natural. The guava was perfectly balanced with the floral jasmine tea, making it both refreshing and dangerously addictive. In fact, I had it three days in a row. No regrets. I also tried the Oolong Tea with Yuzu Cream, and the experience was just as memorable as the drink itself. The staff called me up when my order was ready and explained that they wait until customers arrive before finishing the drink because they freshly shave the yuzu on top. It felt like a mini show and made the experience so much more fun. I can totally see why it's become popular on social media--it's one of those little moments that makes the drink feel special. The tea itself was surprisingly strong too--it definitely gave me a caffeine boost and even kept me up one night! Between the quality ingredients, refreshing flavors, and thoughtful presentation, HeyTea has quickly become one of my favorite tea spots.

It's been a while since they've opened and the lines can still be quite hectic. Save yourself the…read moreheadache, download their app and order ahead. There's a tablet off to the side that you can use to order your drinks. If the line gets too long, a cashier tends to jump in to help with orders. I do appreciate the screen in the corner that shows your order number so you're able to track it. I usually opt for their Coconut Mango Boom and it's never too sweet. Overall, I think the experience is decent if you order ahead. It seems less worth it when there's a long wait. There's also not a lot of seats inside so it feels more of a order and go kind of place.

My husband and I have been to Blue House Cafe twice now. It's a little out of the way for us, but…read moreit's a nice to go when we can. Both times were fairly chill. Street parking was easy. The staff are friendly and very focused when making drinks. The first time, I had a lavender vanilla latte and he had an americano. We had a good experience and I was highly impressed by the flavor of their house-made syrup. For the second time, I got an iced pandan matcha latte and my husband got a pandan latte. The pandan flavor was very nice and paired well with their matcha. We also got a spam musubi that hit spot on a Sunday morning. If we're ever in the area and need a caffeine boost, we'll definitely be back again.

I visited this little cafe with a friend. We both ordered avocado toast. It consisted of a single…read moreslice of untoasted bread, a good amount of sliced avocado, spinach, several small, halved tomatoes, a nice sprinkle of herbs... It was quite tasty, but if you're hungry, you'll wish they'd given you two pieces of bread etc. instead of the single one they give you. I had a hot mocha, and enjoyed it. The chairs are NOT comfortable. There's a sofa-like place to sit near the front of the cafe, and it looked more comfortable than all of those metal chairs. I'm not sure if I'll return, due to the small portion, the uncomfortable chairs, and the loud music.

The next time we went, it happened to be later in the day and the kiosk and online ordering weren't available, probably bc they were backed up on orders. The first time we went we tried 2 of the seasonal drinks. D1 had the ferrero rocher coffee and I had the guava matcha. Delicious, so delicious we swapped drinks the 2nd time we went. We also ordered the ube croissant and it was so nice and fresh. The ube actually really stood out and the croissant was nice and flakey. A small space w possibly 2 seats at the bar. We've already been 3x within 2 weeks, parking can be hit or miss depending on the time of day.

We stopped by Dead Eye Coffee Bar and tried the Ferrero Rocher Latte and Guava Matcha Latte…read more I've tried Ferrero Rocher inspired drinks at other places before and always felt like they were missing that flavor I was looking for. Dead Eye was dead on. They really capture that Ferrero Rocher flavor, and it's easily the best one I've had. Would definitely get it again. My fiancée enjoyed her Guava Matcha Latte too. The guava flavor came through nicely and complemented the matcha really well without overpowering it. Glad we stopped by and gave this place a try. We'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks.

Stumbled upon this place because I was craving matcha…read more I came here during lunchtime on a saturday, and if I wasn't paying attention , I wouldn't have been able to see this place. The sign was pretty hidden due to a group of trees, but maybe once the sun sets , the sign is lit , so people are able to see the sign. This place is an food hall type of establishment. I believe there was two other eateries in this same building. I came here specifically for a drink and I ordered an iced banana matcha latte. I believe $7.50 for my 12oz beverage was a bit pricey. The flavor was just not there for me. I basically was drinking a green banana milk. I'm a bit hesitant on trying this place out for the second time, when I know there are plenty of other great matcha places. Hopefully today was just an off day.

I asked for a Creme Brulee Viet coffee, and my coworker stopped by to grab one for me. He said the place wasn't too packed when he went, and the service was quick. I looked at the coffee and thought it looked pretty good already, mixed it up a bit, and took a sip, and wow, what a combo of the Creme Brulee with the jolt of the Vietnamese Coffee. I enjoyed the flavors that it brought and wish I had finished this earlier in the day, rather than later in the afternoon. Truth be told, I had a harder time sleeping that night than when I normally have my regular cup of coffee ;D.

Writing this so I hope the owners see. I just came back from a trip to Bangkok and was excited for…read morethis new Thai dessert spot. I think it's still quite new so they're developing the space which the interior is quite bare but has a lot of potential. Feels like a restaurant layout but I wish it was more chill like a lounge/cafe. Unfortunately there aren't many outlets and worker said no wifi, if there was I would totally come to work here. Items on the menu were okay but maybe my standard is high from just being in Thailand lol. They could really hone in on the Thai experience (asam tea and kanom krok etc) to differentiate from the boba/matcha places. I like you can adjust the sweet level. Anyways okay place, would come back if they improved the area to chill/work and I'd be willing to try the other items! Please give fast wifi!!

Was told…read moreabout this place by a coffee / espresso aficionado who runs his own shop and spoke super highly about the quality of espresso drinks. From cortados to cappuccinos to mochas to straight espresso, everything that the baristas make here is done to incredible quality standards. I've personally been in the food & beverage / hospitality industry for many years and can't give this place a higher recommendation. Service is friendly / chill, art and decor is super on-point & on-brand, and the proprietor is an awesome woman who cares about / is involved in the community. Excelsior Coffee is an absolute a 5-star gem.
