"You're dirty sweet and you're my girl Get it on, bang a…read moregong, get it on" (T Rex) Gong Cha's story is pretty impressive! It started with a single bubble tea shop in Taiwan and has expanded to over 2,100 stores across four continents. Sorry, Africa and South America.... No tea for you! They occupy a prestigious location in the center courtyard of the first floor of the Westfarms Mall. They have self service kiosks for app users, and a separate line for cash customers. Their product line is crazy deep, with eight Milk Teas, seven lattes, seven fresh brewed coffees and teas, two milk foams, eight fruit drinks, eight smoothies, and a finishing touch of six toppings. I went with a 16-ounce Strawberry Milk Tea with 30% sweetness, and yes, you can order various sugar levels. My tea was a "blend of fresh strawberry flavor with smooth green milk tea for a perfectly sweet sip". I really loved it. The strawberry flavor was very good. A layer of strawberry jam-like goodness had settled into the bottom of my glass, and that made the last few sips even better than the rest. At over $7 after tax, Gong Cha won't be a regular expense for me, but as a once in a while treat it sure delivers.

Love their coffee!! I am a huge fan of their "blonde roast" that they call Hi Hat. Probably the…read morebest blonde that I have ever tasted. So I finally got to see their storefront, and the place smells wonderful! They have an assortment of caramels and toffees, as well as a wall of bagged coffee beans, and another wall of cute coffee mugs. A very nice assortment! Today, I purchased their Hi Hat and a bag of their Blackbird Pond. It's a Bean from Nicaragua San Juan del Rio Coco, with notes of dark chocolate, almond, and cream. I'm getting a new espresso machine soon, and I can't wait to make this on it! Siobhan is very friendly and we chatted up a bit. Now I know where they are, I'll be coming by more often!

I've wanted to visit Drum Roll Coffee Roasters for a while, but I'm usually only in Old…read moreWethersfield ("OW") before or after they open. Drum Roll is predominantly a coffee roaster, but they sell some merch as well. They may serve beverages on site, but that doesn't seem to be a focus of the website or store and I was in and out when I visited. I did not see any seating. I bought two things at the small, thin store in OW, and I also recently had cold brew made with Drum Roll coffee at Bake Market in Rocky Hill. The following things stood out. First, the person who helped me, who I assume was the owner, was conversant in coffee terms that matter to me. Sometimes I talk to a store employee about single origins or roast levels, and they don't know what to say. The person who helped me knows coffee and they had a good selection. Second, my Ethiopian Single Origin Beans I used for a home pour over, turned iced coffee, were obviously fresh roasted. You could taste the roast. A coffee can actually be too fresh roasted, and based upon experience, I think some of the listed tasting notes will be more prominent in a few more days. I usually wait 7 to 10 days after the roast date before using coffee. For this reason, putting the roast date on the bag might be a good move. Third, the coffee bag is a high end bag. I buy a lot of craft coffee over the internet. Some places try to have useful bags, and some places try to save money on bags. Drum Roll has a ziplock style seal that makes keeping coffee fresh easier. Their bag is on par with other top places. Fourth, Drum Roll serves canned cold coffee. I'm not sure if they rotate their offerings. I bought one snap chilled Papua New Guinea Cold Brew can. It was very smooth and above average for a canned coffee product. Fifth, I don't remember the exact price, but I remember thinking the price was reasonable. I would definitely buy more bags if I happened to be in OW when I needed coffee beans and Drum Roll is open. Sixth, Bake Market's cold brew made with Drum Roll coffee was rich and smooth. It had a darker flavor and roast profile than I normally I drink, but it was well executed for that style. Based upon all of this, I recommend Drum Roll for people who make coffee at home. While I have my own grinder at home and buy whole beans, they even asked if I wanted the beans ground. 4.5 Stars

Today, my daughter wanted an iced tea after our visit to Nordstrom and I decided to try something new. Cameron was at the front counter. I told him I would like to try something new and after a brief chat he made me a lavender chai. He is so friendly and just a ray of sunshine with the most positive energy. He is happy to help and super friendly. He epitomizes what customer service is. I enjoyed my Chai as much as my daughter enjoyed her pomegranate iced tea. I will return to eBar on my future shopping trips and hope that Cameron is available to introduce me to something new again. Thank you!

There are tables and chairs near by if you want to sit and enjoy your coffee. The cafe's drink offerings are short and sweet with the classics, a few signature drinks, and some sandwich offerings including brunch all day. I tried the Honey Oat Chai Latte which was very flavorful, spicy, and the tea didn't over power the touch of honey. My mom got the Nutella Frostbite, an iced blended drink with Nutella, espresso, and milk. Both of our drinks were very good, but the price tag is pretty steep. It's a high-end, organic, strong coffee, definitely for a true coffee connoisseur. The Nutella Frostbite was $10 for example. It is nice to have a new cute coffee and drink option at the mall that is easy to grab while shopping. The service was very quick and friendly. Plus, there was no line for a Saturday.

They charged for a small cup of warm milk for my daughter, which felt unnecessary, and the service was polite but not especially warm. And my blackberry vanilla latte didn't have much of a flavor. It tasted like a regular latte. Still delicious and hit the spot. I'd happily return. The scones alone are worth the visit.
